Why We Fell in Love with Lefkada: Our Greek Island Trip with Simpson Travel

Earlier this year, we announced our partnership with Simpson Travel, bringing together two brands that share a love of thoughtful design, beautiful experiences and attention to detail.

Last week, we travelled to Lefkada with our incredible NAIA team to shoot our 2027 campaign and returned completely captivated by the island. From the moment we arrived, we understood why so many people fall in love with this beautiful Greek island.

Between long days shooting, exploring hidden beaches and soaking up the incredible scenery, Lefkada quickly became one of our favourite destinations and a place we're already dreaming of returning to.

We came home feeling completely inspired by everything we had experienced and couldn't wait to share it with our community. From the breathtaking scenery to the warmth of the island itself, Lefkada exceeded every expectation and provided the perfect backdrop for our upcoming collection.

What made the trip even more special was seeing the entire NAIA team fall in love with the island too. It's rare for a destination to have such a universal impact, but every member of the team was completely blown away by the beauty of Lefkada, the relaxed pace of life and the incredible locations we discovered throughout the week.

Discovering Lefkada: One of Greece's Most Beautiful Islands

While we'd heard wonderful things about Lefkada before arriving, nothing quite prepared us for just how beautiful it would be.

From the crystal-clear turquoise waters and dramatic coastline to the charming villages and relaxed pace of life, it felt like one of Greece's best-kept secrets. Everywhere we looked there seemed to be another breathtaking view, hidden cove or picturesque corner waiting to be discovered.

What we loved most about Lefkada is that it truly ticks every box for an idyllic getaway. Crystal-clear waters, beautiful beaches, charming harbours, exceptional food and a wonderfully relaxed pace of life combine to create a destination that feels both luxurious and completely unspoilt.

If you're looking for a luxury holiday in Greece, Lefkada offers the perfect combination of stunning scenery, boutique accommodation, exceptional food and unforgettable experiences. It's easy to see why it has become one of the most sought-after Greek island destinations.

As founders, we're constantly inspired by beautiful places, thoughtful design and the feeling of effortless living. Lefkada offered all of that in abundance and provided the perfect backdrop for our 2027 campaign.

The island's natural beauty, warm light and understated elegance aligned perfectly with the feeling we wanted to capture for the collection.

Our Lefkada Trip with Simpson Travel

What made the experience even more memorable was experiencing first-hand the level of care and attention that Simpson Travel is known for.

From the planning process through to our stay in Lefkada, everything felt seamless and thoughtfully considered. The recommendations, local expertise and carefully selected accommodation made it easy to relax and enjoy everything the island had to offer.

We stayed at Katouna Suites, an elegant adult-only boutique hotel in Greece perched above the Ionian Sea. Waking up to panoramic sea views each morning and ending the day watching the sunset from the terrace was nothing short of magical.

As a boutique hotel in Greece, Katouna Suites perfectly captures everything we love about travel: beautiful surroundings, understated luxury and a sense of complete calm.

For an entire team to be so unanimously impressed by one destination really highlights what Simpson Travel does so well. Their expertise in hand-picking exceptional locations and beautiful accommodation is second to none.

Having now experienced Lefkada and Katouna Suites for ourselves, it's easy to see the care and consideration that goes into every Simpson Travel recommendation. The combination of an extraordinary destination, exceptional accommodation and seamless service created a trip we'll be talking about for a long time.

Having now experienced it ourselves, it's easy to understand why so many people choose to travel with Simpson Travel year after year.

Behind the Scenes of Our 2027 Campaign

One of the highlights of the trip was seeing our 2027 campaign come to life against the backdrop of Lefkada's incredible scenery.

From early morning shoots overlooking the sea to capturing content in some of the island's most beautiful locations, every day felt inspiring. The combination of stunning landscapes, relaxed island life and endless Mediterranean light made Lefkada the perfect setting for the collection.

There is something incredibly special about creating in a place that inspires you, and we can't wait to share the results of the shoot with you over the coming months.
