Located amidst lush olive groves in the Messinia region on Greece's southwest Peloponnese coast, the Romanos Resort is the first hotel to open in the new luxury destination of Costa Navarino.

The Romanos will be part of a 130-hectare, mixed-use beachfront development called Navarino Dunes, the first of four major developments in Costa Navarino. Navarino Dunes will include the first signature golf course in Greece designed by Bernhard Langer in cooperation with European Golf Design – The Dunes Course, a 4,000 square meter spa – Anazoe Spa, various restaurants, lounge areas, and retail and entertainment options, offering travelers escape and indulgence on the magnificent Mediterranean coast.

The Romanos Resort features 321 luxurious rooms and suites, including 121 with individual infinity pools. Almost all rooms offer spacious furnished terraces with beautiful views of the Mediterranean. Guests staying in the suites will enjoy access to the resort's Butler Service. For the ultimate in opulence, the resort's 660 square meter beachfront Royal Villa Koroni features a private infinity pool, a secluded barbeque area, a spa treatment suite with steam room, private fitness facilities and an elevator. Guests of the Royal Villa Koroni will also benefit from a 24-hour dedicated Butler Service.

The Romanos Resort offers an array of culinary delights, including Pero a destination restaurant featuring ethnic and indigenous cuisine based on local organic ingredients, Eleon a Greek restaurant complete with a well-stocked wine cellar, extensive lounge areas and a lobby bar. The resort will also have outdoor areas for grilling offering a serene, romantic and casual mood for outdoor dining.

Costa Navarino has put a strong emphasis on environmental responsibility. All of the properties being developed in the destination must meet strict environmental standards in order to protect the idyllic landscape for future generations. In addition, Costa Navarino boasts two pioneering environmental developments, the Navarino Environmental Observatory, which will be dedicated to the study of climate change and its impact on the natural environment in the Mediterranean region and the Navarino Natura Hall (opening in 2011), a nature-focused interactive exhibition centre developed to raise awareness of environmental issues.
