As featured in The Times, 25 December 2025

Spring and summer are the seasons Scandinavians live for. That’s when they go for utepils (drinking beer outdoors) and embrace friluftsliv, the concept of “open-air living” best understood as the life-affirming value of being outside. I mean, who wouldn’t? Denmark, Norway and Sweden, as well as their Nordic neighbour Finland, have a helluva lot of outside to be in. That’s why James Stewart, journalist, has compiled this list of new spring and summer holidays (with a few new winter trips in case you can’t wait). Read here.

Epirus, Greece

As featured in the Daily Telegraph, 17 March 2023

The best bits of Greece you’ve probably never heard of: Few European destinations are more recognisable than Greece – particularly in the white heat of summer, when the Mediterranean sun smiles on the land of Zeus, Poseidon and Aphrodite. Its rays bounce of the honeyed pillars of the Parthenon, skip across the surface of the Aegean, wrap around the windmills of Mykonos, and dance on the seafront in Crete, Rhodes, Skiathos and Kos. It is a picture both familiar and inviting. But what of the less familiar side of Greece. Journalist, Chris Leadbeater highlights some lesser-known Greek destinations that deserve to be on your radar. All featured by Sunvil.

Jungle Bay, Soufriere, Dominica

As featured in the Daily Mail - 03 January 2026

Journalist Nigel Tisdall, in his article "20 Bucket List Holidays", highlights Dominica as one of the hottest destinations for 2026.

HIGH TIMES IN DOMINICA: One of the world's longest cable-car rides is set to open on this green and mountainous Caribbean island later this year allowing passengers to glide above the rainforest for more than four miles on a 20-minute ascent to view the steaming volcanic waters of Boiling Lake. Base yourself at the eco-minded Jungle Bay resort in Soufriere which offers daily hikes, yoga classes and spa treatments. From £2,449 per person based on two sharing for a seven-night stay including return flights from Heathrow, 23kg per person luggage allowance, accommodation with breakfast, transfer on arrival and car hire.

Viking Line, Helsinki

As featured in The Times, 25 December 2025

Journalist James Stewart in his article "And breathe… The best Scandi escapes for the year ahead" features our self-guided tour of the world's largest archipelago: Stockholm - Aland - Turku - Helsinki. He comments "It’s a tough decision: which of northern Europe’s loveliest archipelagos to visit, Stockholm or Finland’s Turku? The solution’s obvious: do both. That’s the thinking of a self-guided tour by ferry from Stockholm to Helsinki. It’s a two-nation trip where identities blur in Mariehamn, the cute capital of Aland island, then Turku, a medieval city of islets and saunas. Your time is yours to programme, but it would be a shame to miss the shore-hugging cycle ride from Mariehamn to Jarso. Bring a picnic and your swimming cossie." Prices from £1,576 per person (based on 2 sharing)

Medusa Beach Resort, Naxos

As featured in the Evening Standard - 09 May 2024

This idyllic island (Naxos) has long stretches of pristine beach for you to enjoy, along with ancient ruins and traditional white-washed buildings. It’s equally as aesthetic as Santorini but without the droves of tourists. Stay: Medusa Beach Resort - This elegant hotel sits right on the beach and offers all the ingredients for a blissful and tranquil holiday. Sip cocktails at the beach bar, take a dip in the seawater pool, and relax with regular yoga sessions. From £1,238 per person based on two sharing for a seven-night stay including return flights from Gatwick, 23kg per person luggage allowance, accommodation with breakfast, and return high-speed ferry transfers.

Axiothea Hotel

As featured in The Times on 07 March 2024

Written by journalist, Lucy Thackray. Cyprus for a city break? It’s unorthodox, but if you’re into archaeology — and spring sunshine — Paphos is a thrill. The crumbling pillars and mosaics of Kato Paphos Archaeological Park will delight history buffs, followed by the Unesco-protected Tombs of the Kings (£6 for both sites; visitpafos.org.cy), which you can explore from March to May without breaking too much of a sweat. Continue your trail at the Agios Neophytos monastery with its tranquil hillside setting and well-preserved frescoes (£1.70; stneophytos.org.cy). May has the balmiest days for a brisk springtime dip: try Sodap beach for handy, swimmable shallows. The destination expert Sunvil can arrange a stay at the authentic Axiothea Hotel, close to charming tavernas. Details Three nights’ B&B from £544pp, including flights and transfers.

Annis House

As featured in I News, 03 February 2024

Journalist, Mary Novakovich writes about Annis House in the Larnaca area of Cyprus. “Take in the mild springtime air in sunny Cyprus from the vantage point of one of its most delightful villages, Lefkara. You’re not far from the foothills of the Troodos Mountains if you fancy exploring some of its lovely hiking trails, and you’ll be halfway between Larnaca and Limassol if you want some city and beach action. Annis House is a very cute stone cottage in the lower part of Lefkara, with three bedrooms and a secluded courtyard. Sunvil has a week’s self-catering from £937pp, based on two people sharing, including flights, checked luggage and car hire, for a 6 March departure.”
