Mandarin Oriental to open first Greek property in Costa Navarino

The Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has announced that it will manage a new resort and spa in Greece as part of a partnership with high-end tourism developer and operator Temes S.A. 

Opening in Spring 2023, Mandarin Oriental Costa Navarino will be the group’s first Greek property, located on Costa Navarino, a popular tourist destination on the south-west coast of Peloponnese.

The beachfront resort will offer 99 guest rooms, including 48 pool villas, each with its own outdoor terrace and sea view, as well five restaurants and bars and an extensive spa and wellness centre.

Occupying 1,500sqm, the spa will feature several indoor treatment rooms and outdoor pavilions, as well as a 25m indoor-outdoor pool offering views across the bay. Its treatment menu will include Mandarin Oriental’s signature wellness rituals and therapies. 

Guests will also have access to four signature golf courses, designed by José María Olazábal, Robert Trent Jones II and Bernhard Langer, as well as the destination’s programme of outdoor activities such as biking, rock-climbing and water sports. 

“We’re delighted to be opening our first property in Greece and look forward to sharing this striking combination of unspoiled landscape, olive groves, pristine beaches and authentic Greek culture in the region with our guests,” said Mandarin Oriental group chief executive James Riley.

“We are pleased to partner with Temes, the group that has been responsible for the creation of Costa Navarino as a burgeoning tourism destination.”

This is the latest in a series of major partnerships for Temes S.A., which has recently announced the opening of the W Escape, W Costa Navarino in partnership with Marriott International.

The company’s chairman, Achilles V. Constantakopoulos, said: “Mandarin Oriental is known for delivering exemplary service and exclusive experiences in its many luxury properties around the world.

“We are proud to have the group bring its hospitality expertise to Greece for the first time, signifying the further growth of Costa Navarino, which is becoming a top international destination for people to visit and to live.”
