Recently opened in Messina, Greece, the resort grounds look as though they have been pulled from a mystical Mediterranean dream. Boasting 321 rooms on a 1 km. beachfront, the resort also offers infinity pools, an 18-hole championship golf course and a landscape of diverse surroundings with spectacular sea and river views. The resort's commitment to environmental protection steered builders to keep the building footprint of Costa Navarino at less than 10% of the total land area. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Eco Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/ecoarchitecture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Eco-friendly Resorts:** Opportunity to develop more resorts with a strong focus on sustainable practices and environmental protection. - **Luxury Getaways:** Opportunity to create high-end resorts that provide an extravagant and immersive experience for guests. - **Nature Conservation:** Opportunity to promote and preserve natural landscapes by integrating resorts into their surroundings. ### Who This Affects Most - **Hospitality:** Hospitality industry can incorporate eco-friendly practices and offer luxurious experiences to attract sustainability-minded travelers. - **Tourism:** Tourism industry can capitalize on the demand for eco-friendly and luxury vacations by developing similar resorts. - **Construction and Architecture:** Construction and architecture firms can focus on designing and building eco-friendly resorts that blend seamlessly with the natural environment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxe Tented Biophilic Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naviva.md) - [Minimal Environmental Footprint Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shorebreak-hotel.md) - [Sustainable Hospitality Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-neos.md) - [Transformed Rainforest Beach Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyndham-grand-rio-mar.md) - [Earthy Tonal Coastal Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mylos-hotel.md) - [Eco-Friendly Rainforest Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mandai-rainforest-resort.md) - [Eco-Friendly Tourism Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dominica.md) - [World-Class Mexican Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kanai-resort.md) - [Greece-Based Minimal Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grid-house.md)
