Mandarin Oriental Costa Navarino

The earth-sheltered suites and villas of the Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino, seem to emerge almost organically from the hillside overlooking Navarino Bay. Stylish inside and out, and all commanding breathtaking sea views, luxury really is part of the landscape here. Beautiful as the Mediterranean may look from your terrace, here it is also the setting for action and adventure with sailing, scuba diving, yachting, waterskiing, surfing, rock climbing, kitesurfing, and kayaking all available. Guests can also explore the beautiful countryside with biking, walking, golf and even fishing trips on offer. Try beach yoga for a more mindful experience, and if that is on your holiday to-do list, then the Spa should certainly be your next port of call. Relax and unwind with a herbal sauna, olive panorama sauna, hammam, or Japanese bath before heading to the tranquil outdoor relaxation area. Talented wellness experts cover everything from personal fitness training to Pilates or simply take a dip in the 25 metre indoor to outdoor pool. Intellectual stimulation is also on offer with philosophy walks and astronomy nights, as well as an art tour or visits to local sites of interest. Olive oil tasting, a wine masterclass and a farm-to-table cooking experience will give you an authentic taste of the Peloponnese and there are archaeology and farming experiences for younger guests too. If you would rather explore the culinary delights of the region in a more sedate fashion, mouthwatering cuisine is available in five restaurants, all sourcing local ingredients from Messenia, and delivering them in a unique gastronomic experience overseen by Executive Chef, Bertrand Valegeas. Whether enjoying an action packed adventure, or simply relaxing with a cocktail as the sun sinks beneath the horizon, this is a resort that will feed your mind, body and soul.
