The Westin Resort, Costa Navarino

On the wild Messinian coastline at Costa Navarino, The Westin Resort combines a magnificent sandy beach, extensive family facilities and championship golf with architecture inspired by the stone mansions and villages of the southwest Peloponnese.

The Westin is a substantial resort, yet its scale is softened beautifully by the landscape. Buildings are arranged in low clusters among olive trees and gardens, using local stone, tiled roofs, courtyards and shaded walkways to echo the traditional architecture of Messinia. Beyond them, the land opens towards a long sweep of beach and the Ionian Sea, keeping the coast present throughout the resort.

For families, the breadth of what is available is exceptional. The Westin sits within the wider Costa Navarino destination, bringing together beaches, pools, golf, sport, children's facilities, restaurants and cultural experiences in one remarkable corner of the Peloponnese. There is plenty happening, but the gardens, courtyards and sheer amount of space make it equally easy to find a quieter rhythm.

Rooms & Suites

Rooms and suites take their palette from the surrounding landscape, with pale timber and soft shades of sand and sea creating calm interiors that open onto private balconies or terraces. Garden and partial sea view rooms look across the planted grounds, while Premium Deluxe categories bring the Ionian more prominently into view.

The private pool accommodation is particularly appealing. Infinity rooms and suites open directly onto pools set against gardens or sea views, including spacious one bedroom options for longer stays. At the top of the collection, the three bedroom Methoni Villa combines considerably more space with a sea view, creating an excellent choice for families wanting the independence of a private residence within the resort.

Dining

Food ranges from the generous breakfasts at Morias to some wonderfully straightforward Greek pleasures. Souvlakerie celebrates the country's much loved street food, while Da Luigi turns to Italian cooking and Flame brings grilled meats and produce to the table in a more distinctive evening setting.

Drinks and lighter meals extend across the pool and outdoor spaces, while 1827 Lounge & Bar provides an easy meeting point for teas, cocktails and evenings that stretch beyond dinner. The wider Costa Navarino dining scene adds considerably more choice, making it possible to eat differently throughout a longer stay without leaving the destination.

Experience

The beach gives The Westin its natural centre of gravity, but there is an extraordinary amount happening beyond the sand. Several outdoor pools include dedicated children's areas, while the Dunes Golf Course brings championship golf directly into the landscape. Tennis, cycling, hiking, diving, windsurfing and water sports provide plenty of alternatives for more active days.

Children are exceptionally well catered for, from the Cocoon playroom and SandCastle to dedicated golf and tennis facilities, pools and outdoor activities. Cooking classes, cultural tours and experiences connected to local traditions introduce another side of Messinia, making the surrounding region part of the holiday rather than simply the scenery beyond the resort.

Wellness

Anazoe Spa is one of Costa Navarino's signature experiences, drawing inspiration from ancient Greek approaches to wellbeing and the natural ingredients of the region. Hydrotherapy, hammam, sauna and relaxation areas accompany an extensive menu of massages, body rituals and beauty treatments.

Yoga, fitness classes and personal training add a more active dimension, while the spa's quieter atmosphere provides a welcome retreat after golf, time on the water or a day exploring the Peloponnese.

Where

The Westin Resort lies within Costa Navarino in Messinia, where olive groves and sandy coastline meet one of mainland Greece's richest historic landscapes. Ancient Messini, the Palace of Nestor and UNESCO listed sites including Olympia, Mystras and the Temple of Apollo Epicurius bring extraordinary archaeology within reach, adding genuine depth to a stay on this beautiful stretch of the Peloponnese.
