W Hotels has announced the opening of W Costa Navarino, marking the brand’s debut in Greece. The new hotel is set within a 32-acre site along a beach, stretching along 1,500 feet of shoreline, and overlooking the Bay of Navarino. The property welcomes adults and young adults over 12 years old.
“From upcycling materials to a bioclimatic design, [the property] features sophisticated architecture that leans into the broader sustainability efforts of the coastal enclave,” said Benoit Racle, VP, brand management, W Hotels Worldwide,
All guestroom, suite and villa interiors celebrate the heritage of Greek artisans with a palette of neutral tones which are occasionally met with pops of color. Guests can enjoy diverse music programming, including funky house, hot disco, afro-house, tribal and neo-soul. The hotel is set to host international and local DJs and musicians each season to complement its roster of resident DJs.
Open all day, W Lounge offers a globally inspired menu alongside a range of palate cleansing spritzers, aperitifs and locally inspired, eco-conscious cocktails. Platía is a playful spin on the traditional Greek food market and is a destination for breakfast, daytime coffees or a relaxed group dinner. The hotel also offers four “grab and go” outlets. The Café offers a ground coffee selection and a roastery serving specialty varieties, besides juices and snacks throughout the day. For light bites and local delicacies, the Deli Store offers a selection of meat, cheese and regional specialties; the Bakery serves home-made goodies; and the Cookery presents an open-style kitchen for breakfast and plays host to guest chefs and pop-up concepts.
With a raw-food menu concept, Between will offer cocktails and light dinner bites. Accompanied by live DJ sets, the space is ideal for sipping a craft cocktail as the sun dips below the horizon. The destination beach club Parelía will serve contemporary Greek Mediterranean cuisine, focusing on sharing plates accompanied by cocktails and DJ sets.
The WET Deck has an infinity pool with views of the Ionian Sea, besides plenty of space to relax in the sun after a swim. The AWAY Spa offers a range of treatments, while FIT gym has an 82-foot outdoor heated swimming pool and the latest gym equipment. Workout classes and wellness experiences are also available.
