Cyprus Shines on Screen as Channel 5 Airs “The Sunshine Murders”.
Paphos, Cyprus – Constantinou Bros Hotels proudly celebrates the UK broadcast of The Sunshine Murders, the brand-new Channel 5 and Paramount drama filmed extensively at the group’s luxurious adults-only Asimina Suites Hotel on Paphos’ beachfront. The series, which premiered on 8th September 2025, is set to reach millions of viewers across the UK and beyond.
Created by Emily Corcoran and starring Dora Chrysikou, The Sunshine Murders is a family-friendly “cosy crime” series set against the stunning Mediterranean backdrops of Greece and Cyprus.
Filmed earlier this year, the production brought an impressive lineup of international talent to Cyprus, including Peter Andre, Stephanie Beacham, Camilla Rutherford, Nina Wadia, Marina Sirtis, and Alexander Vlahos. Peter Andre also showcases his musical side in one of the show’s most memorable moments.
During their stay, the cast and crew experienced the signature hospitality for which Constantinou Bros Hotels is renowned — five-star service, a serene beachfront setting, and authentic Cypriot warmth.
“It was an honour to welcome the production of ‘The Sunshine Murders’ to our hotel,” said Aristos Diomedous, General Manager of Constantinou Bros Hotels. “Partnerships like this not only showcase our property but also highlight Cyprus as a world-class filming and holiday destination. We are proud to play our part in putting Paphos on the map for both tourism and the creative industries.”
Filmed within the grounds of Constantinou Bros Asimina Suites Hotel, the series captures the island’s coastal beauty — from golden sunsets and tranquil gardens to sweeping Mediterranean views — contrasting the serene scenery with its lighthearted mysteries and charmingly eccentric characters.
Beyond the intrigue, The Sunshine Murders tells a deeper story of family ties and hidden secrets, positioning itself within the beloved “sunshine noir” genre — where beautiful destinations meet witty, feel-good crime storytelling.
With an international release following the UK broadcast, The Sunshine Murders is expected to bring global attention to Cyprus as both a cinematic location and luxury travel destination, reinforcing the island’s growing reputation for world-class hospitality and creative collaboration.
As Cyprus continues to attract major productions, Constantinou Bros Hotels remains dedicated to supporting initiatives that celebrate the island’s natural beauty, cultural depth, and cinematic appeal — a commitment that extends far beyond the screen.
