Mandarin Oriental to open first property in Greece

The Mandarin Oriental Costa Navarino will be located at Navarino Bay, an integrated resort area in the region of Messinia, south-west Peloponnese. The 140-hectare site overlooks the Bay of Navarino. 

The beachfront resort will feature 99 guest rooms, including 48 earth-sheltered pool villas, all with outdoor terraces and sea views, along with five restaurants and bars. 

The hotel’s design features planted roofs blending into the natural topography of the land and the use of local materials.

The resort will feature a 1,500-square-metre spa and fitness centre with 25m indoor/outdoor pool and wellness therapies.

“We are delighted to be opening our first property in Greece in Costa Navarino and look forward to sharing this striking combination of unspoiled landscape, olive groves, pristine beaches and authentic Greek culture in the region with our guests,” said James Riley, Mandarin Oriental’s group chief executive.

Navarino Bay is home to The Bay Course, an 18-hole signature golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones II.

Nearby, Navarino Waterfront is set to see the W Costa Navarino open this summer.
