The Romanos, a Luxury Collection Resort
History & Story
Nestled along the untouched shores of the southwest Peloponnese, The Romanos, a Luxury Collection Resort, stands as a beacon of sustainable luxury in the Mediterranean—where breathtaking natural beauty meets cultural authenticity. Located in the Costa Navarino destination, an area that is more than a place; it is the realization of a vision. The late Captain Vassilis Constantakopoulos, a native of Messinia, dreamt of transforming his homeland into a world-class destination—one that would honor its rich heritage while preserving its natural splendor for generations to come. His dream gave rise to a pioneering sustainable development, deeply rooted in the land’s values and traditions. Shaped by 4,500 years of history, Messinia is a region where myth meets reality. From ancient palaces and Byzantine churches to traditional villages and olive groves that stretch to the horizon, every corner whispers stories of a storied past. Costa Navarino honors this legacy by weaving cultural preservation and environmental responsibility into every aspect of its philosophy.

Extra Notable Features
Golf: In a landscape of diverse topography with spectacular sea and river views, Costa Navarino offers a world-class golfing experience to golfers of all levels. Four award-winning signature golf courses, 18-hole each, exceed expectations and set Costa Navarino as the new luxury golf destination in Greece. The seaside Dunes Course at Navarino Dunes, designed by former US Masters Champion and Ryder Cup Captain Bernhard Langer, in association with European Golf Design, opened in May 2010 and is the first signature golf course in Greece. This 18-hole / par-71 championship golf course includes some links-style features in areas closest to the sea. Parts of the course venture into olive and fruit groves, while several holes run along a small river. Combined with large undulating greens, wide fairways and steep-faced pot bunkers, the links element of the course adds to its unique style and playability, so that each of the 18 holes presents a matchless challenge.
