The Romanos Resort, Costa Navarino

The Romanos offers 321 luxury rooms and suites, all with views across either the Ionian Sea or the resort's landscaped gardens. Room categories start with deluxe rooms and step up through infinity rooms, each with its own private infinity pool, to grand suites that include state-of-the-art home cinema systems. Every room is furnished in a modern, elegant style with the full range of amenities you'd expect from a resort of this calibre.

Infinity Rooms come with a private pool and terrace, which is ideal if you've got early tee times and want a quiet wind-down afterwards. The privacy is genuine, you're not overlooked, and it's a strong option if you're the type who likes to decompress by the pool rather than heading straight to the bar. Grand suites add space and cinema systems, so they work well for longer stays or if you're treating the trip as a proper celebration.

For larger groups or families, one, two and three-bedroom villas are available, each with a spacious lounge and dining area, private terrace, infinity pool and uninterrupted sea views. The villas offer complete privacy while keeping you within easy reach of the resort's restaurants, spa and golf courses. They're a strong shout for groups who want shared space for post-round drinks, while still having the resort restaurants and spa a short stroll away.

Back at the hotel, it's easy to keep everyone happy, whether that's a quiet afternoon by the pool, a session at the spa or a last-minute dinner booking without leaving the resort. Dining spans multiple restaurants on site, covering everything from Mediterranean to Asian cuisine. The quality is consistent, the settings are varied and you're never more than a short walk from your next meal. Breakfast is included in most packages, and the restaurants handle group bookings without fuss.

The Anazoe Spa is a sanctuary in its own right, offering treatments based on ancient Greek beauty practices and using natural ingredients sourced from the surrounding region. It's the kind of place where you can recover properly after a round on The Dunes or The Hills, with everything from massages to full-day programmes available. There's also a health club, indoor pool and fitness facilities if you want to stay active between rounds.

Beyond the rooms and spa, The Romanos is built for variety. You can relax by your pool, take part in sea yachting, scuba diving or snorkelling, or play racquet sports across the resort's facilities. The beach is right there, so if you fancy a swim in the Ionian after your round, it's a two-minute walk. For families or mixed groups, there's enough going on to keep non-golfers entertained while you're out on the course.
