Costa Navarino, Messinia · Greece
The Westin Resort Costa Navarino
Family-focused five-star golf at Costa Navarino — Heavenly Spa included.
Overview
The Westin Resort Costa Navarino
The Westin Resort Costa Navarino sits alongside The Romanos within the Costa Navarino complex, sharing access to the same four championship courses while offering a distinct character of its own. Designed with families and mixed-party groups in mind, it provides the full five-star resort experience with an emphasis on wellness, family programming, and the celebrated Heavenly Spa. The architecture mirrors the warm Mediterranean vernacular of the wider resort, with terraced pools, olive groves, and direct access to the Ionian Sea.
For golf groups travelling with non-golfers or families, The Westin provides the ideal balance — championship golf for the players, and a world-class resort experience for everyone else. The WestinKids Club is one of the finest children's programmes in the Mediterranean, while the Heavenly Spa provides a compelling alternative for those not on the course. The result is a resort where every member of the group is genuinely well catered for.
Why We Recommend It & How It Fits
Why We Recommend It
The Mixed-Party Choice
The Westin has established itself as the preferred choice for golf groups travelling with families or non-golfers. The WestinKids Club, dedicated family pool areas, and the Heavenly Spa create a resort experience that works for every member of the party — not just the golfers.
Four Courses, Zero Transfers
All four Costa Navarino championship courses — the Dunes, Bay, Hills, and International Olympic Academy — are within the resort. The operational ease this creates across a week of golf is the defining advantage of the Costa Navarino model, and The Westin shares it fully.
Heavenly Spa by Westin
The Heavenly Spa draws on the brand's globally celebrated wellness philosophy, combining signature treatments with the natural ingredients of the Messinia region — local olive oil, herbs, and sea minerals. The thermal facilities, hydrotherapy pools, and extensive treatment menu make it one of the most complete wellness destinations in Greece.
Westin Service Standard
The Westin brand's characteristic warmth and attentiveness — particularly around family and wellness programming — suits the Costa Navarino setting well. The staff's knowledge of the courses and estate is thorough, and the concierge team handles golf logistics with genuine expertise.
Beach and Water Sports
Direct beach access and a full water sports programme extend the day well beyond the course. For families and mixed parties, the beach club provides a natural focal point for afternoons and evenings, with its own dining and bar facilities.
How It Fits Into a Heritage Itinerary
The Mixed-Party Costa Navarino Week
The Westin is the natural anchor for groups where golf is one of several priorities. The WestinKids Club, Heavenly Spa, and beach club create a parallel programme for non-golfers that is genuinely compelling — allowing the group to share a base without compromise on either side.
A Family Golf Holiday
For families where one or both parents play golf, The Westin provides the most complete solution in Greece. The children's programme, family pool areas, and beach facilities create a holiday that works for every age group, while the championship courses deliver a serious golf experience for the players.
A Couples Wellness and Golf Stay
The combination of the Heavenly Spa and four championship courses makes The Westin an ideal choice for couples where one partner golfs more than the other. The spa's day programme is comprehensive enough to fill a full week independently of the golf.
A Longer Greece Stay
The Westin's breadth of facilities — golf, spa, beach, multiple dining venues, and family programming — makes it particularly well suited to longer stays of seven nights or more, where variety across the week is important.
This is the right choice for groups where not everyone is a golfer. The Westin's emphasis on family programming, wellness, and the full resort experience — combined with direct access to four championship courses — makes it the most versatile base at Costa Navarino. For mixed-party trips where the golf is important but not the only consideration, it is the natural answer.
Rooms, Dining & Wellness
Rooms & Suites
The rooms and suites are distributed across the estate in low-rise buildings with private terraces or balconies overlooking the sea or gardens. Interiors carry the Westin brand's signature warmth — the Heavenly Bed, natural materials, and a calm, restorative aesthetic that suits the pace of a golf week well. Family rooms and connecting options are available throughout, and the suites offer generous living spaces with panoramic sea views.
Dining & Atmosphere
Dining options span the full resort — from the Barbouni beach restaurant and Flame steakhouse shared with The Romanos, to the Navarino Agora marketplace for casual all-day dining. The Westin's own pool bar provides a relaxed setting for post-round drinks, and the resort's evening dining programme — with multiple venues and cuisines — ensures the week never feels repetitive.
Spa, Wellness & Leisure
The Heavenly Spa by Westin is the centrepiece of the non-golf experience — a comprehensive wellness facility drawing on local Messinian ingredients and the brand's globally recognised treatment philosophy. The thermal circuit, hydrotherapy pools, and dedicated sports recovery menu make it equally relevant for golfers and non-golfers. The WestinKids Club runs a structured daily programme for younger guests, freeing parents to focus on their golf or spa time.

Position & Access
Location & Access
The Westin sits within the Costa Navarino resort complex on the south-west Peloponnese coast, approximately 13 kilometres south of Pylos and 75 kilometres south-west of Kalamata. All four championship courses are contained within the estate — there is no need to leave the resort at any point during the stay.
Courses Within Reach
Arrivals & Transfers
Kalamata International Airport (KLX) is the primary gateway, approximately 45 minutes by road. Athens International Airport (ATH) is also accessible, approximately 3.5 hours by road or a short domestic flight to Kalamata. The resort can arrange private transfers from both airports. Costa Navarino is best approached as a standalone destination — typically 5 to 7 nights — rather than as part of a multi-base itinerary.
