Overview

 
Perched between silver-green olive groves and the deep-blue Ionian Sea, The Romanos a Luxury Collection Resort is one of Greece’s most polished beach hideaways. Expect elegant low-rise architecture that blends into the dunes, three shimmering pools, destination dining at more than a dozen venues across the estate, and access to four headline golf courses. Families, couples and golfers all find their sweet spot here, from the splash park and kids’ clubs to the award-winning Anazoe Spa and serene infinity-pool suites.

Earth-toned architecture cascading down to a long sandy beach, fragrant gardens dotted with palms and pines, and infinity pools that seem to dissolve into the Ionian Sea – the setting at The Romanos is pure drama. Inside, polished marble, local stone and warm woods create a refined yet relaxed atmosphere that feels distinctly Messinian rather than “anywhere in the Med”. For couples and families seeking the Peloponnese’s authentic charm without sacrificing luxury, The Romanos a Luxury Collection Resort delivers the lot: a sweeping sandy beach, signature Anazoe Spa rituals, imaginative kids’ facilities and access to world-class golf – all wrapped in award-winning architecture. It’s around 1 hour from Kalamata (KLX) airport along scenic coastal roads. See more Greece holidays.

Map & location


Costa Navarino, Peloponnese, Greece

Costa Navarino is the Peloponnese at its most cinematic – rolling hills striped with olive groves, golden beaches and a backdrop of rugged mountains. The Romanos sits directly on a beautiful sandy stretch, part of the Navarino Dunes development, with sunset views over the Ionian Sea and easy access to the resort’s restaurants, golf courses and Anazoe Spa.

Within a short drive you can reach Gialova’s laid-back waterfront tavernas, the famous horseshoe of Voidokilia Beach, and historic Pylos and Navarino Bay, where castle-topped headlands frame the coastline. It’s a great base if you like to mix pool time with days exploring UNESCO-listed archaeological sites and quiet hill villages.

  • Beach beachfront (direct access)
  • Navarino Dunes golf course 350m
  • Gialova village 8km
  • Pylos / Navarino Bay around 15–20 minutes’ drive
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 1 hour from Kalamata (KLX)

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


If you like to mix things up by the water, you’re in the right place. The Romanos offers three outdoor freshwater pools, some with children’s sections, plus an indoor heated pool at certain times of the season.

Expect:

– A generous family-friendly pool with separate children’s section, sunbeds and parasols (heated in shoulder seasons).
– Two more serene freshwater pools with Balinese beds and daybeds – ideal for adults and couples looking for a quieter vibe, also seasonally heated.
– Complimentary pool towels for all guests.

Families will love the splash park (sprinklers and shallow water play) and the aqua park with slides, usually open daily in season with height/age restrictions. Down on the beach, an external provider runs water sports such as canoeing, kayaking, windsurfing, snorkelling, scuba diving and selected motorised options (charges apply; minimum ages may apply).

The beach itself is a wide, natural stretch of sand backed by dunes – wonderful for long walks, sunset swims and, if you’re lucky, spotting protected sea turtles in season.

Spa, sports & wellness


Wellness at The Romanos centres on the award-winning Anazoe Spa, where signature rituals draw on ancient Greek healing techniques. Adults (18+) can book massages, facials, body treatments and enjoy facilities including saunas, steam rooms and whirlpools, plus a salon and hairdresser (all with extra charge).

Sports and activities are extensive:

– Air-conditioned gym with cardio equipment, free weights, stretching zone and aerobics studio.
– Classes such as aqua aerobics, pilates, yoga and basketball, plus table tennis, squash, short tennis and more.
– Access to four signature golf courses across the broader Costa Navarino area (Dunes and Bay courses, plus Navarino Hills and Navarino Bay courses off-site, usually around 10km away).
– Cycling facilities with bike hire and cycling tours (extra cost).
– Occasional cooking classes and local immersion experiences – from olive oil tastings to yachting and fishing – that help you experience Messinia beyond the resort.

Food & drink

Dining is a real highlight at The Romanos. Between the hotel itself and the wider Navarino Dunes area, you can graze your way through 13 restaurants and a cluster of bars, many with kids’ menus and highchairs.

Start the day at Pero, the main breakfast buffet with show-cooking, kids’ buffet and plenty of Greek produce. Evenings showcase everything from Greek seafood at Armyra by Papaioannou and modern taverna classics at Perovino to Italian favourites at Da Luigi, meze-style dishes at Kafenio & Deli and contemporary Japanese plates at rooftop Onuki.

Poolside favourites such as Division 16 and Flame serve relaxed lunches with show cooking, while Barbouni sits right on the sand for barefoot bites and sundowners. Add in casual Souvlakerie, shisha-scented Nargile and an assortment of lounge, cocktail and pool bars – including Branco – The Tiki Bar, Anax Lounge, 1827 Bar Lounge, and a swim-up Romanos Pool Bar – and every mood is covered.

Dress codes are generally smart casual in the evenings (no beachwear), some outlets are seasonal and operate on rotation, and reservations plus supplements may apply depending on your board basis.

More info

Costa Navarino sits on the south-west coast of the Peloponnese, in the region of Messinia. The local language is Greek and the currency is the Euro (€). Greece is typically +2 hours ahead of UK time, and average flight time from UK airports to Kalamata (KLX) is around 4 hours.

The resort is beachfront, with gentle shelving sands, and a sophisticated, village-style layout rather than a single tower block. It’s particularly good for active travellers and families who like plenty of on-site facilities, but still want to explore local villages, UNESCO-listed sights and traditional tavernas.

Some services and facilities – especially water sports, bowling, spa and kids’ clubs – carry an extra charge and may operate seasonally or according to occupancy. Height, age or weight restrictions can apply to splash and aqua park features.

FAQs
Is The Romanos a Luxury Collection Resort right for families?
Yes. Although the styling feels very grown-up, The Romanos is excellent for families. There are children’s sections in some pools, a splash park and aqua park, kids’ menus and buffets in many of the restaurants, and access to the Sandcastle Children’s Club (4–12 years) and Cocoon Crèche (4 months–4 years) at the neighbouring Westin Resort (local charges apply). Family-sized suites and Grand Suites provide extra space.
What board basis should I choose at The Romanos?
You can stay on Bed and Breakfast or Half Board. Breakfast is served buffet-style in the main restaurant. Half Board includes buffet breakfast and dinner at the main buffet restaurant, plus a generous dine-around scheme at selected à la carte venues across the Navarino Dunes, W Costa Navarino and Navarino Agora areas. Some restaurants offer a set menu, others a credit allowance towards à la carte dishes; drinks are usually not included and reservations are required.
Are pools heated at The Romanos a Luxury Collection Resort?
Yes. Several outdoor freshwater pools and the indoor pool are typically heated from early April to the end of May, and again from early October to late October, subject to occupancy and weather. Selected room types with private pools (Infinity Rooms and Grand Infinity Suites) also offer heating up to around 28°C, although this is dependent on conditions.
Is there a dress code at the restaurants?
During the day, casual resort wear is fine, but beachwear should not be worn in most indoor restaurants. In the evenings the dress code is smart casual – think tailored shorts or trousers, dresses, shirts or blouses, and closed shoes in the more formal venues. Some restaurants, particularly those with fine-dining concepts, may have stricter guidelines.
How do I get from Kalamata Airport to The Romanos?
The transfer from Kalamata International Airport (KLX) to The Romanos a Luxury Collection Resort takes around 1 hour by road. Travelisto can arrange private transfers as part of your holiday package, or you can hire a car if you’d like more independence for exploring the Peloponnese coastline and nearby historic sites.
Can I play golf while staying at The Romanos?
Absolutely. Costa Navarino is one of Europe’s premier golf destinations, with four signature courses available to guests: the Dunes Course, Bay Course, and the two Navarino Hills courses. Tee times should be reserved in advance, and green fees plus equipment hire are payable locally.
Does The Romanos a Luxury Collection Resort offer spa packages?
The Anazoe Spa offers a full menu of individual treatments as well as curated rituals and programmes, many inspired by ancient Greek wellness philosophies.
