In association with
The Dunes & The Bay Course
Designed by former Ryder Cup Captain and multiple-Masters champion, Bernhard Langer, The Dunes Course was the first signature course of its kind in Greece. Winding along the coastline, and offering spectacular sea-viewsthroughout, The Dunes Course still tops the Greek course rankings, and has become a firm-favourite of Golfbreaks customers over the last decade.
The layout is managed by the Troon group, and benefits from world-class conditioning throughout the year, with slick and undulating greens to keep the golfer on their toes.

Additionally, larger groups are able to organise a clinic with the local pros, ideal for groups of higher handicap golfers who may be on their first golf trip abroad.
There are practice greens, chipping areas, driving ranges and practice bunkers to ensure that all parts of your game are covered, giving you no excuse to not leave Costa Navarino with your game in better shape than when you arrived!

Sports & experiences
Away from the golf course
There’s plenty to do at Costa Navarino. The coastal paradise lends itself perfectly to an array of watersports, from high-octane endeavours such heading out on a Paddle board or kayak, to more relaxed pursuits altogether, you’ll find everything you need to take your mind off your golf down at the beach! Back on land, you can get closer to the Messinian culture with myriad hands-on cooking (and eating!) classes, as well as excursions through the olive groves and vineyards. The area is also steeped in tradition with centuries-old art to discover, as well as buildings which date back to 1600 B.C.
Or perhaps you’re looking to keep up your competitive juices? You’re in luck! Costa Navarino is also the first European location for a Mouratoglou Tennis Center, an ideal place to sweat out the previous day’s over-indulgences, with word-class facilities on-site.
Restaurants
Foodie? You’re in the right place
Costa Navarino is home to more than 20 unbelievable eateries who take their food seriously. Whether you’re looking to try a first-class steak at Flame, the freshest fish at Armyra By Papaioannou or Barbouni, or Italian-themed Da Luigi – you’ll find it all here. In addition to the above, some of our favourites include Kooc Taverna Secrets, Perovino, Souvlakerie, which all offer an authentic Greek culinary experience. However, the restaurants here also take inspiration from around the world, with the Japanese-inspired Onuki and Middle-
Eastern Nargile all truly excellent too. There’s also plenty of options for a quick snack, with Division 16 the ideal meeting space for teens, young adults and all those who feel young. Plus if you just want to just kick back with a great coffee, Kafenio has you covered – with a full choice of traditional Messinian food also available. So don’t be afraid to work up an appetite on-course, because the restaurants across the region are waiting to welcome you once the golf has finished, and are very capable of delighting every palate imaginable.
Swim up and enjoy a cocktail Pool bars
In addition to the more formal dining options, each of the accommodation options in the area features their own incredibly-popular pool bars. Swim up and enjoy a cocktail from the cooling waters, or hop out and enjoy a larger meal, with a mix of food available throughout the day. The Romanos Pool Bar caters to the attached hotel, and as such the majority of our travellers tend to spend more time at both the Westin and Lagoon bars which act as the ideal base for larger groups. Look out for ‘Happy Hour’ options and get involved with the laid-back music and vibes that flow over these poolside hotspots.
A choice of pools, great food, refreshing drinks, chilled music, perfect weather – where else would you rather be following a morning on the golf course!
Anazoe Spa
Relax at The Anazoe Spa
Navarino Dunes brings together ancient Greek health and wellness treatments, with the latest in lavish luxury, all whilst being set against one of the most stunning backdrops in the Mediterranean. Leaning on the local landscape, the Spa offers a unique olive-oil treatment, known as oleothraphy, which was adapted from inscriptions on clay tablets found at the nearby Palace of Nesto. You can also take your pick from more than 90 other treatments on-site, including; kinesiotherapy and thalassotherapy treatments, light therapies, ice-grotto rooms, mist showers, herbal saunas, floating pools and, of course, a wide range of massages.
The team at Anazoe have even created spa packages ideal for travelling golfers, helping to give much-needed energy to weary bodies ahead of their next round.
Surrounding area
Away from Costa Navarino
With so much to do on-site at Costa Navarino’s resorts, you’d be forgiven for not setting foot off the property. However, an exploration of the surrounding area is a must. There’s centuries of history to marvel at, from ancient tombs to mythical temples, and for those looking for something slightly more current, there’s a collection of brilliant boutiques to peruse if you’re looking to treat somebody special (or yourself!).
We’d recommend taking a trip down to Navarino Bay, one of the largest natural harbours in the world, and site of the last naval battle in the world to be fought entirely with sailing ships in 1827. Or, if you’ve got an entirely free day, we’d recommend taking a trip up to Ancient Olympia, a UNESCO world heritage site, and the cradle of the Olympic Games, situated around 90 minutes north of Navarino.
