The Romanos, a Luxury Collection Resort, Costa Navarino
Navarino Dunes, Costa Navarino, Messinia, Greece
The Romanos is the quieter, more grown-up side of Navarino Dunes: villas with private pools and an over-12s pool for parents, while the shared Cocoon crèche (baby nurses, from four months) and SandCastle club take the children. Juventus football, Mouratoglou tennis and four golf courses mean sporty kids never run out of things to try.
