W Costa Navarino

Outstanding service, food and attention to detail. We were upgraded to a 2 bed villa that was huge. The setting of the hotel, grounds and environment are immaculate. We can’t recommend more highly.

We came to Costa Navarino initially for business, but we will leave with something far more valuable: inspiration. Costa Navarino is much more than another luxury destination. It is a carefully curated Mediterranean ecosystem where architecture, landscape, gastronomy, wellness and sustainability exist in complete harmony. What impressed us most is how naturally the entire Navarino project blends into the Messinian landscape rather than imposing itself upon it. Stone, wood, olive trees, water and light are woven beautifully throughout the resort, creating an atmosphere of understated sophistication. Despite the scale of the development: currently 4x properties spanning W, Mandarin Oriental, Westin and The Romanos, as well golf facilities and every amenity you can think of - the project still feels respectful to its surroundings and deeply connected to the land. The gastronomy deserves special mention. Not simply because of presentation and exceptional design, but because of the remarkable quality of the ingredients themselves. Some of the finest tomatoes we have tasted anywhere in the world and I mean it, exceptional local produce, fresh fish, superb meats — all elevated through true quite luxury in and simplicity rather than screaming. excess. The basil oil colour is just art. Couple the business/social lunches by the water, with beautifully lit evenings and the space creates moments that felt almost cinematic. The wellness aspect is equally impressive. The resort manages to feel truly restorative rather than performatively luxurious. Even our OURA metrics noticeably shifted from stress and fatigue toward relaxation and optimal recovery during our stay; something quite rare in modern travel. What also stands out is the ambition behind the wider Navarino vision: this is not simply a resort development, but a long-term investment in restoring and elevating an entire region. You can feel the intelligence, care and patience behind it. The setting itself is extraordinary — literally beside the water and the famous W - “Whatever/Whenever” team delivered attentive, warm and intuitive service throughout. Costa Navarino is not just a destination. It is an entire world of its own. Highly recommended. Superb work by AVC and team.

Our stay at W Costa Navarino was nothing short of exceptional. First of all, we would like to highlight the immaculate condition of the hotel. Everything is perfectly maintained — spotless cleanliness, beautifully thought-out design, and not a single sign of wear and tear anywhere. The attention to detail is truly impressive: a pleasant signature scent, refined aesthetics, and an overall sense of harmony and care create a very special atmosphere. Another standout is the team. Young, energetic, yet highly professional, they genuinely go above and beyond to make every guest feel comfortable. Their friendliness feels natural and sincere, never forced. They are always ready to help, check in on you, and truly listen to your needs. Breakfast deserves special mention. The restaurant is thoughtfully divided into several areas, which prevents any sense of crowding. The food is fresh, varied, and of excellent quality. It is especially nice to see senior management present during breakfast, personally welcoming guests and ensuring everything runs smoothly. The wellness area is also outstanding, with excellent specialists and a very attentive approach to treatments. The reception team is warm, welcoming, and always happy to assist or simply have a friendly conversation. A special thank you to Nikos, who leads the fitness program, and to the entire fitness and wellness team. The variety and quality of activities are impressive: yoga, Pilates, and classes for all levels — all conducted with great professionalism and care. We visited in April and therefore cannot comment on the sea, but we were fortunate to experience Greek Easter at the hotel. The organization was absolutely top-class: the food, the atmosphere, the music — everything was perfectly arranged and truly memorable. Overall, this is a wonderful place for relaxation, sports, and enjoyment of life. A destination we would happily return to.

Absolutely magic, right on the beach and local restaurants nearby

Our family of 5 had a fantastic stay at the W Costa Navarino, on a wonderful beach, where we could swim out to the jetty each morning, it is very picturesque. There is a good gym which is part inside, part outside, excellent classes (particularly recommend the pilates / yoga) and a very nice spa area with steam rooms and sauna. The food is excellent, just so much choice, and the covered outside eating area overlooking the sea works really well, as does the circular bar area for evening cocktails. The beach front villas are fabulous, it is wonderful to step straight out on to the sand in the morning and go for a dip before everyone else wakes up. Oh and special shout out to the lovely and very helpful team on reception, especially Alex, and also the restaurant team who could not have been more helpful. We had a wonderful stay and hope to be back again to the "W" before too long.
