The rooms
Renewed rooms keep to an airy coastal palette, looking out over green gardens or the Messinian Gulf.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Infinity pools clad in Nile-colored stone look out across the gulf. Inside, a mosaic-tiled freshwater pool has hydromassage jets.
The spa & gym
At the table
Tables on the waterside terrace serve open-air lunches. Evenings bring regional Messinian cooking and cocktails at the fluted-wood bar.
How it began
The site once held Kalamata's open-air summer cinema and a modest state motel before growing into a full resort.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
