We absolutely loved our holiday, from start to finish all the Richmond staff have been amazing! The chalet has such a welcoming and homely atmosphere. Even though it was the end of the season they were all constantly happy and amazingly helpful. The chalet and the food were wonderful but it’s definitely the staff that make Richmond stand out from anywhere we have been before.
Rachel, Chalet Elise
I have never had a holiday like it! I loved the fact that when we arrived, we were all strangers, but by the end, we were one big church family. The daily ministry time was nurturing and the Sunday communion a lovely event. I could see how each of the staff wanted to be a blessing to the guests, and I appreciated them reaching out to guests who were travelling alone. Keep doing what you're doing, with God at the centre!
Susannah, Samos
It was like being with family - I travelled alone with some trepidation but everyone was so friendly and inclusive. The ministry times were uplifting and it was great to be able to praise God together in such amazing scenery. I really appreciated the Resort Rep's phone call a few days before I left for France saying how excited they were that I was coming and that they were praying for me (that phone call gave me courage as I was in two minds not to go as I was on my own)

Itineraries
Relax on the Greek Island of Samos
From £595
Experience the spectacular scenery, idyllic beaches and coves, and picture-perfect Greek charm for yourself on a Christian holiday to Samos!
Relax on the Greek Island of Samos
The treasure of Samos
Samos is the perfect destination to enjoy glorious sunshine, spectacular scenery, idyllic beaches and coves, mountains, waterfalls, as well as archaeological wonders and interesting history. From morning prayer, head out to see some of the island’s most beautiful
sights, and then relax on the beach or try your hand at watersports.
Zefiros Beach Hotel
The Zefiros Beach Hotel is located along Mykali Bay, with beautiful views across to Turkey. The family-run Greek hotel has a Mediterranean feel with cool blue and white decor. There is sunbathing space around the pool as well as on the beach, which is just steps away from the hotel.
The hotel staff are very friendly and our own Resort Team also look after every Richmond guest. Our staff are there to help you to make the most of your holiday!
There is a large pool, a separate toddlers’ pool, a bar and a taverna overlooking the beach, where you can enjoy delicious ice creams, cooling drinks and fresh, homemade lunches. The hotel has a tennis court, and the Richmond watersports centre, exclusive to our guests, is also situated on the beach in front of the hotel.
Rooms are arranged on three floors and are very spacious, each with ensuite bathrooms. Unusually for Greece, each features a full-size bath. The balconies are large, and many rooms have a sea view. The rooms can be quite cool, thanks to the Mediterranean style of the hotel, and are fully air-conditioned. Each room is also equipped with a mini-fridge.
Activities
Would you like to discover Samos’ secrets? Spend a day onboard a boat travelling to private islands with a local sailor, or join an island tour to discover an underground monastery and a mountain restaurant with breathtaking views. For those looking to explore further afield, join a Richmond excursion to Ephesus, Patmos or Pythagoria (the birthplace of Pythagoras). In the evenings, head to a nearby village and experience the outdoor cinema under the stars, try out go-karting, join the Richmond ceilidh, or visit a local taverna for a cocktail.
Back in the hotel, make the most of Richmond’s exclusive fleet of sailing boats, stand-up paddle boards, windsurfing equipment, kayaks, and mountain and hybrid bikes. The hotel is also a gorgeous place to enjoy the sun, the beach, the pool and the delicious food and drink whilst relaxing on a sunlounger!
Reasons to stay
• Picturesque accommodation on the beachfront
• Large pool & bar, metres from the sea
• Well-placed to explore the island
• Excellent RYA watersports facilities
Summer in the stunning French Alps at Reberty Village
From £399
A Christian summer holiday to the French Alps is perfect if you like outdoor adventures as well as relaxing. Think mountain biking and then winding down in a hot tub.
Summer in the stunning French Alps at Reberty Village
Reberty Village
If you enjoy the tranquillity and majesty of being in the mountains, then a holiday at our chalet in Reberty Village is perfect for you.
The chalet sits on the side of Reberty Village – next to what is a ski slope during the winter and a beautiful meadow of wild flowers in the summer!
Situated at an altitude of 2,000m, the chalet is surrounded by fantastic walks. Chair lifts and gondolas can be used to quickly reach the mountain tops where you can bike or walk along the trails.
About your chalet
Look out onto the idyllic mountain vista while relaxing in one of the chalet’s two bubbling outside hot tubs! There is also a wonderful lounge with plenty of comfy sofas, where tea and coffee is available throughout the day. The separate dining room with its open kitchen means that our chef will be part of your evening meal experience, as you watch them put the finishing touches to your food!
With inspiring times of ministry and exciting activities, the holiday easily encourages the building of friendships, as you enjoy spending time with others and taking time out from your normal routine to relax. Chalet life is great fun and we end the week with a bonfire just outside the chalet with toasted marshmallows, star-gazing and some camp-fire choruses!
The fourteen bedrooms all have ensuites and are provided with towels and complimentary toiletries. There are twin, double, triple, and four-bed rooms available, so there’s a room for you whether you’re travelling on your own, with your family, in a group, or as a couple.
Activities
For some, there’s nothing quite like putting on walking boots, hiking through plains of wildflowers and beside bubbling rivers, then reaching a viewpoint with breathtaking panoramic views!
However, you don’t need to love walking to love the Alps. Whether by foot or by Richmond transfer, throughout your holiday you can enjoy excursions to local French markets, traditional working farms where you can pet the goats, wonderful pâtisseries and the stunning Plan de l’Eau – an idyllic location beside a glacial river where we’ll have a BBQ together (and some even paddle or swim!).
For the brave, why not paraglide over the mountaintops, try an adventurous high ropes course, experience exhilarating white-water rafting on the Isère river, or hire a mountain bike and explore the trails?
