W Hotels Makes Greek Debut with the Opening of ‘W Costa Navarino’ Resort

W Hotels, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of 30 extraordinary hotel brands, on Tuesday made its Greek debut with the opening of W Costa Navarino in the Peloponnese.

“W Hotels ignites a renewed sense of curiosity in Greece with the launch of W Costa Navarino”, said Candice D’ Cruz, Vice President – Luxury Brands, Europe, Middle East & Africa, Marriott International.

Located in Navarino Waterfront, the newest integrated resort area of Costa Navarino in Messinia, the new W resort exclusively welcomes adults and young adults over 12 years old.

“The inimitable setting of Costa Navarino with its unspoiled Mediterranean landscape, natural beauty and free-spirited attitude is the perfect environment to bring to life our first W Escape in Greece,” D’ Cruz added.

The new W Escape is set within a scenic 13-hectare site, along a 450-metre-long sandy beach, overlooking the protected and historic Bay of Navarino.

Local authenticity meets modernity in refined design

With architectural design led by renowned Greek architects Tombazis and Associates, W Costa Navarino takes inspiration from the region’s traditional architecture with cobbled paths, monolithic building and stone towers creating the feeling of a Greek coastal village.

Using local materials, Costa Navarino’s dedication to sustainable practices is reflected in the hotel’s timeless design, unified within lush indigenous greenery and planted roofs overlooking the sea.

The interiors is all 246 guestrooms, suites and villas celebrate the heritage of Greek artisans with a palette of neutral tones which are occasionally met with pops of colour.

The resort’s beach club Parelía – which combines the Greek word ‘parea’, meaning friends socialising, with ‘paralia’, meaning beach – is ideal for unwinding throughout the day and partying by the sea at night.

W Costa Navarino is also set to host international and local DJs and musicians each season, such as Alex Nude and Valeron & Band, to complement its roster of resident DJs including Ukrainian Rie Kiriiaka, Greek-Colombian DJ Montana Cruz and Greece’s own Vasilis Georgakopoulos.
