Costa Navarino: The W hotel group lands in Greece, so is it worth the wait?

W Costa Navarino opened directly on the beach facing the Bay of Navarino in August 2022, bringing the brand’s vibrant modern fizz to the history-packed Greek Peloponnese. This is the first W in Greece, W’s second resort hotel in Europe, following in the successful footsteps of W Verbier, and the first franchised W hotel worldwide. As the third five-star hotel to open at Costa Navarino, the 246-room W is part of one of Europe’s fastest growing sports and leisure destinations.

A long beachfront and staff infused with famously warm Greek hospitality blend successfully with W’s uplifting design and energy-fuelled reputation. Staff are called ‘talent’, bathrooms are unisex and just being onsite – with the ubiquitous café del mar-style playlist - raises everyone’s cool credentials a notch or too.
