“We are thrilled to introduce W Hotels to Greece,” said Benoit Racle, Vice President, Brand Management, W Hotels Worldwide. “From upcycling materials to a bioclimatic design, W Costa Navarino features sophisticated architecture that leans into the broader sustainability efforts of the coastal enclave, presenting international travelers and local tastemakers an opportunity to capture the energy of Mediterranean culture. World-class dining and immersive programming celebrate authentic Mediterranean culture, promising an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind experience at W Costa Navarino.”

With architectural design led by Tombazis and Associates, W Costa Navarino takes inspiration from the region’s traditional architecture with cobbled paths, monolithic building and stone towers creating the feeling of a Greek coastal village.

All guestrooms, suites and villa interiors celebrate the heritage of Greek artisans with a palette of neutral tones which are occasionally met with pops of color.

Facilities at the resort include a beach club, an innovative choice of F&B outlets - including a playful spin on a traditional Greek food market, an infinity pool with views across the Ionian Sea and beyond, a spa, gym and even a 25-metre outdoor heated swimming pool.

“W Costa Navarino celebrates an unique blend of energies immersed in a naturally beautiful setting. The new vibrant resort combines traditional elements from the Messinian culture with the unmistakable character and unique vibe for which W Hotels are known,” said Nassos Papazoglou, General Manager of W Costa Navarino. “From the thoughtfully refined and locally inspired design, with a strong focus on art to, diverse and energetic programming, W Costa Navarino is ready to make a mark in the Mediterranean hospitality scene.”
