Westin Hotels & Resorts is set to open two new breathtaking resorts in premium locations this summer. The Westin Resort, Costa Navarino recently made its debut on Greece’s west coast and will be followed by the opening of The Westin Siray Bay Resort & Spa in Phuket, Thailand in August.

The second Westin to open in Greece, this retreat offers 445 guest rooms and suites, including 123 with infinity pools.

Inspired by old Messinian mansions, the resort’s low-rise villa clusters use natural stone and local design elements to create a motif in perfect harmony with the virgin sandy beach and pristine hillside landscape.

Amenities include four restaurants serving a range of international cuisine, several pools and lounges.

The Anazoe Spa at Navarino Dunes offers a serene sanctuary, with a menu of specialty treatments based on ancient health and beauty practices, and conference facilities.

The resort also boasts Greece’s first signature, 18-hole championship golf course with sea and river views designed by U.S. Masters Champion and Ryder Cup Captain Bernhard Langer and managed by Troon Golf.

Guests can stroll to an adjacent shopping village, home to a variety of exclusive boutiques, restaurants and bars.
