Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group reopens three waterfront resorts: Lago di Como, Bodrum, and Greece’s Costa Navarino.
Each property pairs natural coastal beauty with the Hong Kong hotel group’s renowned service. Costa Navarino in particular promises an exceptionally serene escape, located in Messinia in the southwest Peloponnese region of Greece.
Think Mediterranean tranquility, striking natural landscape and a healthy smattering of ancient ruins, a gem lying between the blue Ionian Sea and the Peloponnese mountains. The region itself is a vision: golden beaches stretch along turquoise waters, while lush hills and ancient olive groves create a timeless Mediterranean backdrop that soothes the soul.
Tucked into the olive-dotted hills of the Peloponnese, this Mandarin Oriental has unobstructed views of the bay and a seamless connection to the land. Earth-toned suites and villas echo the surrounding landscape, with touches of local craftsmanship throughout. This spring two new villas are introduced: the five-bedroom Royal Villa by MKV Design and a tranquil three-bedroom retreat by Alexander Waterworth, both complete with private pools and spa rooms
Culinary experiences are taking centre stage, from modern Greek fare at Oliviera to Levantine flavours at Tahir and authentic Neapolitan pizzas at Pizza Sapienza. Meanwhile, the spa draws on ancient Greek healing traditions, offering treatments that restore body and soul. Add in private yachting, golf, rock climbing, and excursions to nearby archaeological treasures, and Costa Navarino becomes more than just a beach resort — it’s a holistic, sophisticated Greek getaway that is hard to leave.
