Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino will bring the Group’s unparalleled legendary hospitality to Greece for the first time when it opens in
Summer of 2023. This idyllic luxury retreat is located in the southwest Peloponnese and is part of Costa Navarino, a sustainably driven destination.
Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino is infused with the long-held traditions and cultural heritage of this exceptional region. The resort, which cascades down a landscaped hillside nestled on a beautiful beachfront overlooking one of the most unspoiled landscapes in the Mediterranean, offers a back-to-nature experience with mesmerising views of the surrounding countryside, the azure sea, and dramatic sunsets.
Design and interiors
Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino features 99 elegant, light-filled suites and earth-sheltered villas with private pools and spacious terraces. Blending luxurious serenity with the traditional Messenian style of the region, the resort is the perfect backdrop for guests seeking to create memorable moments with family and loved ones.
The resort’s essence embraces the natural beauty of Messenia and the relaxed ambience of Costa Navarino with accents featuring local Mediterranean plants, earthy undertones, and gentle splashes of colour. The decor celebrates aspects of 19th-century Greek design and reflects the surrounding historical sites, which provide inspiration for motifs and wood carvings. A natural, terracotta colour palette creates a soothing and welcoming environment with custom-designed furniture, floor-to-ceiling windows, and state-of-the-art entertainment technology. Fabrics and rugs in the suites and villas are also inspired by the weaving of traditional Greek dress.
The resort and its environs feature more than 4,000 replanted olive trees and over 500,000 planted native shrubs, while the overall project has been built to the developer’s rigorous sustainable specifications in keeping with Mandarin Oriental’s deeply ingrained corporate responsibility ethos. As with all Mandarin Oriental hotels, the resort will be single-use plastic free throughout the complex.

Creative, exciting, and delicious dining is a key feature of the resort experience.
