Mandarin Oriental Costa Navarino celebrates the productive landscapes of Messinia

Perched on an outcrop overlooking the ancient town of Pylos and the Bay of Navarino in the Peloponnese, Mandarin Oriental Costa Navarino celebrates the productive landscapes of Messinia.

Inspired by the area’s agricultural heritage, the resort is in tune with its magnificent terroir. Its serpentine stone walls follow the topographical lines, embedding the building volumes within the undulating hills. In some places, they rise above the terrain, creating spectacular spatial moments.

The resort feels more like a landscape than a building. Its enclosures are split into multiple smaller-scale modules, which are peppered throughout the topography, transforming it into an inhabitable landscape.

Head to our project gallery to navigate through this extraordinary landscape, developed along with Tombazis Architects.
