The resort
Costa Navarino is a prime, sustainably driven destination in the heart of the Mediterranean. Set in breathtaking seaside landscapes shaped by 4,500 years of history, its philosophy is driven by a genuine desire to promote Messinia, while protecting and preserving its natural beauty. Now part of several environmental programs in conjunction with the University of Stockholm, the Academy of Athens and environmental NGOs.
Navarino Dunes includes two luxury five-star hotels, The Romanos and The Westin, a luxury Spa, the Anazoe, a wide choice of quality dining venues, outdoor activities and cultural experiences. The Mouratoglou Tennis Centre is nearby, as well as four signature golf courses. Navarino Bay, further along the Coast, is the setting for a Mandarin Oriental, W Costa Navarino, and Navarino Agora, a curated marketplace.
Messinia enjoys an excellent climate with blue skies, sunny days and pleasant temperatures.
The hotel
Accommodation is at the award-winning five star Westin Resort with its high service standards, superb range of restaurants and luxury rooms. Where luxury meets endless relaxation and breathtaking scenery.
The Westin features 445 rooms and suites, inspired in design by old Messinian Mansions. It has a relaxed and informal atmosphere. Many rooms enjoy views of the Ionian Sea. With newly designed amenities for the 2025 season room categories include Deluxe Garden View, Superior Garden View, and Premium Deluxe Sea view.
Hotel facilities include around 20 restaurants and bars, the Agora, a village centre style space at the heart of the resort, gym, and indoor pool. The facilities also feature the luxury Anazoe spa, an outdoor cinema, outdoor pools, and water sports hub. There are four 18-hole signature golf courses. Last but not least there is the Mouratoglou Tennis Centre.
Cultural experiences available include the Messinian Authenticity Programme. Partake in activities such as cooking classes, olive oil harvesting and tasting, and wine tasting.
Classical temples, Byzantine churches, medieval castles, and UNESCO World Heritage sites are all within reach. Some include Ancient Olympia, Ancient Messini, The Palace of Nestor, and Temple of Apollo Epicurius. Worth some advance research if of interest.
The nearest airport, Kalamata International (KLX), is approximately 55 minutes by car. The airport offers an increasing number of flights from different UK airports. Meanwhile, Athens airport (ATH) is approximately 3 ½ hours by car on the new Athens to Kalamata motorway.
It’s one of the country’s most beautiful and unspoiled landscapes and, joined to the mainland by only a little strip of land, it’s got all the island vibes, with none of the crowds. Our pick of the region is Costa Navarino, which sits along the coast, next to quaint and quiet fishing villages”
The Travel Guide to Costa Navarino, Greece, Cosmopolitan UK
“I think the experience for those who love tennis is unrivalled here at the Mouratoglou Tennis Centre, because we have trainers completely devoted to the sport, passionate, and with vast experience”
Patrick Mouratoglou, Costa Navarino Stories September 17, 2023
Tennis experience
In 2021 globally acclaimed coach Patrick Mouratoglou, of Greek heritage, opened his first European Tennis Centre at Costa Navarino.
His approach has shaped some of the world’s greatest players, including Serena Williams, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Coco Gauff, and Naomi Osaka.
After breakfast, a short shuttle ride brings you to the tennis centre, nestled between the southern Ionian Sea and the rolling Messinia landscape of olive trees. For any tennis lover, each visit here is not just an experience; it’s a privilege.
The state-of-the-art facility boasts 12 meticulously maintained courts, including clay (the same surface as Roland Garros) and hard cushion courts (comparable to the Australian and US Open).
The two hourly daily tennis sessions take place on the clay courts. They culminate with a fun and competitive Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS)-style event to close the week.
Enjoy an exclusive bespoke tennis programme designed with the Mouratoglou team. One coach, no more than four players per court for 12 hours of coaching culminating in a 2-hour fun UTS style tournament to conclude the week.
Whilst the quality of the facility matters, it is coaches who define the experience. In this spirit the team for the 2025 season includes coaches who can teach beginners through to professional players needing performance level training.
You can arrange optional additional private coaching or play before or whilst on location.
After a proper session, the clubhouse and shop provide the perfect retreat. Relax in the shade and reflect on your game. The shop has everything from socks and caps to shoes, clothes and rackets. Water coolers are available to keep you hydrated throughout the visit.
An unforgettable tennis experience.
