Culturally Sensitive Luxury Hotels

Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino is Located in Greece

Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino, situated above the Bay of Navarino in Greece, represents a new paradigm in luxury hospitality that seamlessly integrates high-end travel with environmental and cultural sensitivity. The core innovation of this resort lies in its decentralized masterplan, which takes inspiration from the region's traditional 'mandria' or organic stone enclosures. The architects adapted this vernacular strategy into a contemporary resort setting. The guest experience is curated through a layered spatial rhythm that moves effortlessly from interior spaces to shaded outdoor living areas.

Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino's design disperses the accommodation — including 48 earth-sheltered private villas with pools — into discreet clusters that follow the natural contours of the hills. This translates into an unprecedented level of privacy and autonomy, where each villa feels like a secluded sanctuary surrounded by gardens.

The architectural and interior design prioritizes a profound and continuous connection to the natural world.
