COSTA NAVARINO KICKS OFF ANOTHER EXCITING YEAR
Costa Navarino in Greece continues to solidify its position as one of the most sought-after golf destinations in Europe, kickstarting its 2024 season last month across its four signature 18-hole courses – The Dunes Course, The Bay Course, alongside The Hills Course and the world’s first International Olympic Academy Golf Course.
Guests and players can choose from an array of hospitality offerings. This year marks the first full season for the area’s key resorts, as well as the first full season for Navarino Agora, the vibrant marketplace, open to guests and locals.
The Westin Resort Costa Navarino has a wide offering for sports aficionados and gastronomy enthusiasts alike. Guests can enjoy outdoors activities such as cycling and hiking, while exercising at 17 state-of-the-art courts of the Mouratoglou Tennis Center, where they can choose across tennis, padel and pickleball. Kids and adults can enroll later in the season in the NBA Basketball School, and young football fans can join the FC Bayern Football Camps in the summer.
Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino, opens on 1 April for its first full season with a variety of villa options including the luxurious Royal Villa that can accommodate up to 12 guests and spans across 1,095sqm of indoor and outdoor space. All the villas benefit from views of the historic Bay of Navarino and the unparalleled personalised service that Mandarin Oriental is known for.
The Romanos, a Luxury Collection Resort, will welcome guests from 25 April. A new adults-only pool enhances the resort offering, alongside a series of exclusive wine, champagne and whisky events. The resort’s Ionian Exclusive Suites and Villas collection will benefit this year from new, personalised experiences, curated to address each guest’s needs.
The adults-friendly beachfront W Costa Navarino opens for the season on 3 May, with a new programme of music, wellness, watersports, and gastronomy events. And Navarino Agora launches its microcosm of experiences on 1 April with a rich programme of events encompassing music and dance performances, film festivals, fashion events and more. Navarino Agora is also home to more than 20 retail stores offering luxury clothes, accessories, jewellery, books and more, as well as restaurants, street food, an open-air cinema and entertainment venues.
In line with Costa Navarino’s continuous commitment to sustainable tourism development, environmental protection remains a key focus for the destination – named as ‘Europe’s Best Eco-friendly Golf Facility’ at the 2023 World Golf Awards. Costa Navarino is a 45-minute drive from Kalamata International Airport.
