Greek architects Tombazis and Associates worked on the property, using natural materials such as stone, wood and reed and weaving in elements inspired by the region’s traditional architecture. The neutral-toned guest room interiors were overseen by London-based MKV Design.
Dining options include Platia, which is the hotel’s take on a local Greek deli food market, serving food and drinks throughout the day, and designed by Athens-based K-studio architects and Tombazis, with interiors by MKV Design.
The Between bar is designed to be visited at sunset, with cocktails and a predominantly raw dinner offering alongside live DJ performances. The interiors were created by Interior Design Laboratorium in Athens.
There is also the brand’s signature W Lounge, which will be open all day, serving cocktails to a soundtrack of Greek and international DJs and live music.
The dining and late night Mediterranean beach club venue Parelia overlooks a long sandy shore at the Bay of Navarino and will also host local and international DJs
Guests can also learn about local food and drink by joining traditional village cooking classes and local olive oil and wine tastings.
The property will also host the Away Spa, including a gym and 25-metre pool. Beach bootcamp classes, splash FIT, beach power Pilates, meditation and yoga will also be available. Guests can also experience hiking, sailing, rock-climbing and biking, while a new watersports centre is planned for 2023.
