Costa Navarino is a stunning luxury development in the Messinia region of the Peloponnese, where sandy beaches are lapped by the brilliant blue Ionian Sea. The world’s top luxury hotel brands are increasingly well represented here, and there’s also a 4,000-square-metre spa and thalassotherapy centre, more than 20 fine dining restaurants, four golf courses and a staggering range of sporting facilities and outdoor activities.

The easiest way to reach Costa Navarino is by flying into Kalamata, famous for its olives. The development has been carefully planned, with sustainability at the front and centre, in recognition of the fact that Costa Navarino’s greatest asset is the area’s magnificent natural beauty, with some of the best beaches in Greece. There is plenty of history and culture here too, including the ruins of ancient Messini and the Palace of Nestor, which dates back to the 13th century BC and was mentioned in both ‘The Iliad’ and ‘The Odyssey’.

Costa Navarino is a fantastic destination for active families, with everything from go karting and bowling to mountain biking and abseiling on offer. You can also make a splash with an impressive array of watersports, including paddleboarding, wakeboarding, waterskiing, windsurfing, kayaking and surfing.
