Map & location
Costa Navarino, Peloponnese, Greece
Costa Navarino sits on the south-west coast of the Peloponnese in Messinia, a region famed for olive groves, golden beaches and big Mediterranean skies. The Westin Resort is set within the Navarino Dunes development, a low-rise, eco-conscious resort complex that feels more like a traditional Greek village than a hotel.
Stroll from your room through landscaped gardens and shaded pathways to the beach, wander to the Agora village square for boutiques, cafés and ice cream, or tee off on one of the nearby signature golf courses. Day trips take you to UNESCO-listed sites, pretty harbour towns and the famous horseshoe-shaped Voidokilia Beach.
