Costa Navarino: Where an Ancient Tradition of Hospitality Continues\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Costa Navarino, in Messinia on the southwest coast of the Peloponnese, every journey marks the beginning of a new experience. Here, a tradition of hospitality first recorded by Homer finds contemporary expression amid olive groves, rolling hills and the Ionian Sea. In Homer\u2019s account, Telemachus, son of Odysseus, came ashore at Voidokilia seeking news of his father, where King Nestor welcomed him with a feast by the sea. That sense of hospitality continues to shape the destination today, through experiences connected to Messinia\u2019s culture, wellbeing, gastronomy, sport and natural landscape.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Costa Navarino is currently home to four 5-star resorts: The Romanos, a Luxury Collection Resort, ideal for couples seeking a distinctive holiday; The Westin Resort, Costa Navarino, perfect for families; W Costa Navarino, offering a vibrant atmosphere suited to groups of friends and the young at heart; and Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino, providing an ultra-luxury experience with complete privacy and tranquility.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, Costa Navarino offers residences for private ownership or rental. Whether located just meters from the beach or nestled among verdant olive groves, Costa Navarino Residences represent more than just a place to live, they offer a unique way of life.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Recognized globally as a premier golf destination, Costa Navarino features four signature 18-hole courses across contrasting natural landscapes with stunning sea views. Guests have access to over 40 restaurants and bars, more than 50 retail shops and services, and a wide range of indoor, outdoor, and water sports including diving, sailing, and yachting.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The destination also boasts an NBA Basketball School, the Juventus Academy Resort Experience, bringing the official Juventus Academy methodology to young players, a Mouratoglou Tennis Center with 17 tennis, padel and pickleball courts, three distinct spa centres, and a tapestry of authentic experiences honoring the heritage, gastronomy, and nature of Messinia.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The addition of Navarino Agora, a vibrant seaside marketplace, further enriches the destination experience, bringing together shopping, dining, entertainment and cultural events.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just a 40-minute drive from Kalamata International Airport, Costa Navarino is easily accessible, yet offers the sense of escape that comes with a region that still has much to discover.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the preservation of Messinia\u2019s natural environment and a 4,500-year heritage at the heart of its philosophy, Costa Navarino is a destination to experience, to live in and to return to.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
