Accommodation
Inspired by old Messinian mansions, this picture-perfect retreat with a half-mile sandy beach by the glittering Ionian Sea, comprises clusters of stone built low-rise villas. Contemporary rooms and suites decorated in soothing seascape tones feature the Westin’s signature Heavenly Bed® plus a spacious terrace or balcony, many with a private infinity-edge pool. At the heart of the development is the Agora where an outdoor cinema, retail outlets and a Greek amphitheatre rub shoulders with enticing eateries including Da Luigi for Italian treats and Souvlakeriei. With the focus on family wellbeing, energising programmes include the WestinWORKOUT® Gym, SuperFoodsRX™ and Eat Well menus for all ages; fitness gear and running maps are available to maintain your workout routine courtesy of the Gear Lending initiative. Rich cultural expeditions abound from exploring the nearby UNESCO World Heritage sites to discovering the neighbouring town of Pylos with its 16th Century Ottoman Neokastro castle. There are also two signature golf courses, biking, hiking, racquet sports and watersports on offer, whilst the Anazoe Spa is the perfect place for adult indulgence and therapeutic treatments after action-filled days.
Olive oil has long been a staple of the Mediterranean diet and praised for its health and beauty applications. Try your hand at olive harvesting, an age-old tradition in Greece, with the opportunity to learn first-hand the method of planting and collecting olives and producing your own olive oil with Messinian farmers. Visit the nearby mill to enjoy a tasting session whilst the oil is pressed and bottled. Prolong the experience back at the hotel with an exclusive therapeutic oleotherapy® treatment at Anazoe Spa.
Greece is blessed with a Mediterranean climate. From mid May to mid June and mid September to October the climate is pleasant and sunshine is plentiful. July and August are hot with temperatures reaching 37°C. Winters tend to be mild in the south but much cooler in the north with an increased chance of rain.
