Simpson Travel has launched three new destinations in its largest-ever programme for 2026.
The Algarve, Sicily and Skopelos are all new for next year. The operator is offering 40 villas in the Algarve; eight in Sicily and eight in Skopelos.
In addition, around 40 more villas have been added across the operator’s existing destinations in the Ionian and mainland Greece, Turkey, France, Corsica, Italy and Majorca.
Also new for 2026 is a seven-room, adult-only Simpson Hotel, The Sand Suites, in Agios Nicolaos in eastern Crete, two partner hotels in the Algarve and three partner hotels in Skopelos, Siciliy and the Peloponnese.
On the launch of the 2026 programme and the three new destinations, head of trade sales Hannah Naylor-Vane said: “We know from talking to agents that all three areas are high on their clients’ wish lists, so it’s wonderful to be able to expand our offering with a selection of carefully handpicked properties which come with the levels of service and attention to detail for which Simpson Travel is renowned.
“Alongside our expanded portfolios in our existing destinations, we now offer a wider range than ever before of exceptional villas and boutique hotels in the Med and beyond.”
The operator has also introduced unbranded property information documents for every property through the trade portal for agents to use as part of the sales process.
Naylor-Vane added: “When creating quotes, agents can now download fully comprehensive property information in a client-ready format, making it easy to share with customers. We’re confident this will be a valuable addition to the sales process and further enhance the level of service agents can offer.”
Highlights of the 2026 programme include, in the Algarve, villas in and around Carvoeiro and the Quinta do Lago, Praia de Luz, Loulé, Silves and Vale do Lobo areas.
The villa Casa Kios in Quinto do Lago, which costs from £735 for seven nights accommodation-only, comes with two pools, a hot tub, tennis court, games room and table tennis.
The operator’s two new partner hotels in the Algarve are The Collegio Charm hotel, an 18th century palace in Tavira, and the Conversas de Alpendre, a converted farmhouse in eastern Algarve, close to the beaches and the Ria Formosa Natural Park. It has 13 suites, cabins and apartments, each with a terrace or balcony, including a tree house six metres off the ground in an old carob tree.
In Skopelos, the partner hotel is Hotel Minno Boutique Hotel & Spa, on a hillside just near the seafront and Skopelos Town, while in Sicily, Hotel Baglio Genovesi, located in a restored traditional farming estate, offers 14 rooms and suites.
The new adults-only hotel in Crete, The Sands Suites, has seven suites each with their own jacuzzi, plunge pool or swimming pool and outdoor space with a sea view. In addition, the hotel has a large main swimming pool.
Other new additions for 2026 include two new villas in Puglia and eight new villas in Provence, France, with flight, ferry and train-inclusive options now available.
