Luxury hotel group Mandarin Oriental has announced plans for its first Greek property, situated in Costa Navarino on the southwest coast of the Peloponnese.

Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino is scheduled to open next spring, and will offer 99 rooms including 48 pool villas, all with outdoor terraces and sea views.

Features will include 1,500 sqm of wellness facilities, a 25-metre indoor-outdoor pool, and five restaurants and bars.

The property will join a growing collection of upmarket hotels in Costa Navarino – last month Marriott announced plans to open the W Costa Navarino within the new Navarino Waterfront development.
