The Romanos, Costa Navarino, Peloponnese, Greece

Dawn combs the Messinian coast in silver; the Ionian slips ashore in long, even strokes.

Set within Costa Navarino’s dune-fringed estate, The Romanos brings 321 rooms, suites, and villas to a broad beach of pale sand.

Think sunrise swims, languid lunches under vine-shaded pergolas, and evenings when the horizon turns apricot behind the headlands.

What Makes It Special

• True beachfront setting on the Ionian, with loungers and easy sea access
• Showpiece pools (main lagoon-style plus many private/pool-suite options)
• Renowned spa with Grecian-inspired rituals and quiet hydro areas
• A constellation of restaurants & bars—from sea-to-table to modern Greek
• Access to championship golf, racquet courts, kids’ clubs, and watersports
• Vast estate feel with dune paths, olive trees, and big, open skies

A Day at The Romanos

Morning

Bare feet on cool stone; espresso sighs steam against sea breeze. Breakfast brings thick yogurt with thyme honey, warm koulouri, sliced peaches. Walk straight to the beach—the water is glass-clear and quick-cool.

Afternoon

Claim a cabana by the lagoon pool, cicadas thrumming in the olive rows. A lemon-oil back massage in the spa, then grilled day-catch with capers and a crisp Messinian white beneath a pergola.

Evening

Golden hour paints the dunes honey. Putts roll on emerald greens while the sea goes from cobalt to violet. Dinner becomes a lazily curated tasting of island cheeses, tomatoes that taste of sun, and just-baked pita.

Night

From your terrace, palm shadows sway across the lawn; waves keep soft time. Somewhere a bouzouki drifts from the square; the breeze smells faintly of sage and salt.

Insider Tips for The Romanos, Costa Navarino

• Many loved sea-view rooms. Golf-side is quieter; West side often best views.
• It’s a huge resort. If wayfinding isn’t your thing, request a room near lobby / Agora; otherwise rely on golf buggies.
• Beach & sunsets are the headline; grab a sea-view room if you’re a balcony-lounger.
• Book tee times early and ask about twilight green-fee specials.
