W Costa Navarino

On the shores of Navarino Bay in Messinia, W Costa Navarino is an adults only five star retreat that brings the energetic, contemporary spirit of W Hotels to one of the most beautiful stretches of the southwest Peloponnese.

There is a distinctly different mood here from elsewhere at Costa Navarino. Low rise buildings, planted courtyards and bold contemporary spaces spread towards the waterfront, with architecture that draws on local stone and the colours of the Messinian landscape while retaining the sharper character associated with W. Pools, terraces, gardens and social spaces are deliberately intertwined, giving the resort an easy sense of movement from morning onwards.

Navarino Bay provides a magnificent backdrop. The water is calm and intensely blue, backed by the hills of Messinia and the long curve of the coastline towards Pylos, while Gialova and its waterfront tavernas sit nearby. It gives W all the ingredients of a Mediterranean resort, but with a younger, more sociable personality built around music, food, sport and long days beside the water.

Rooms & Suites

Accommodation ranges from panoramic sea view rooms to some seriously impressive suites and villas, with private infinity pools and swim up access featuring prominently. Premier Infinity rooms open directly onto shared water from their terraces, while the Superior Panorama rooms trade the pool for elevated views across the bay.

The beachfront and bayfront suites are where W Costa Navarino really comes into its own. One and Two Bedroom Infinity Suites pair generous indoor and outdoor living space with private pools and views towards the sea, while the Escape Agora suites include both beachfront and rooftop infinity pool options. For considerably more space, the three bedroom Oasis II Infinity Villa has its own pool and garden setting.

Dining

Parelia brings the Mediterranean beach restaurant experience directly to the waterfront, with a relaxed atmosphere that can carry lunch comfortably into the afternoon. Platia takes its inspiration from the Greek village square, bringing different flavours and dining experiences together in a more sociable setting at the heart of the resort.

Between sits naturally between pool, beach and bar life, while the W Lounge is the hotel's all day meeting place and shifts character as evening approaches. The WET Deck and beach complete the picture, with music, drinks and events making this one of the livelier corners of Costa Navarino after the sun begins to fall.

Experience

Four outdoor pools and a private beach area put swimming at the centre of the day, but there is a considerable amount beyond the water. Cycling and hiking routes lead into the surrounding Messinian landscape, while tennis, diving, snorkelling, windsurfing and canoeing make good use of the coast.

Golf is another major attraction, with the courses of Costa Navarino close at hand, while cooking classes, local cultural experiences and organised walks offer a connection with Messinia beyond the resort. Live music and events bring the focus back to W after dark, giving days here a natural progression from active mornings and beach afternoons into more sociable evenings.

Wellness

The spa provides a substantial retreat from the energy elsewhere, with a hammam, sauna and dedicated relaxation areas alongside an extensive menu of massages, facials and body treatments. Yoga, fitness classes and personal training complement the treatment programme, with a well equipped fitness centre for guests who want something more energetic.

It is a particularly good balance for W Costa Navarino, allowing the resort's social personality to sit alongside quieter periods of genuine downtime without either one defining the entire stay.

Where

W Costa Navarino sits on Navarino Bay close to Gialova and the historic harbour town of Pylos, opening up one of the most rewarding corners of the Peloponnese. Beyond the resort are wetlands, olive groves, long beaches and ancient sites, while the wider Costa Navarino estate brings together championship golf, outdoor pursuits and an exceptional choice of experiences across the Messinian landscape.
