Romantic Couple
You can find magical spots wherever you travel with your other half, but some places just do romance better than others.
Los Angeles
United States
The City of Angels can be a pretty romantic setting, as many rom-coms have shown us. From sunsets at the Griffiths Observatory, to coastal walks and candlelit dinner in one of the city’s many opulent restaurants, you’re sure to find something to woo that special someone.
Male
Maldives
We’re sure you don’t need convincing that the white sandy beaches and turquoise seas make the Maldives a luxurious spot for a couples retreat, but have you heard of Malé? The archipelago’s capital city is full of non-cliche things to do – from bustling fish markets to lush garden walks.
Nadi
Fiji
While most visit Fiji for a remote island experience, culture-vulture couples should visit Nadi to experience true Fijian life. Chances are you’ll fly into the airport there, so take the opportunity to visit the colourful temples, buzzing markets and cultural centre to get a real sense of Fiji beyond the manicured resorts.
Honolulu
United States
The vibrant city of Honolulu is the main gateway to Hawaii, and a perfect spot for a couples trip. From romantic dinners and shopping in the Waikiki neighbourhood, to snorkelling and shark-diving for the most adventurous couples, Honolulu has something for everyone.
Koh Samui
Thailand
This popular island is really set up to cater for romantic pairs looking for a unique experience. Plan a private beach picnic, or book yourself a couples’ massage, and spend time gazing lovingly into each other’s eyes as you stroll stunning beaches.
Singapore
Singapore
Explore the spotless and glistening city streets of Singapore, wander through the perfect Gardens by the Bay, book a couples’ photoshoot in front of the skyline, and don’t forget to sip a Singapore Sling at the Raffles Hotel.
Santorini
Greece
Wander hand-in-hand through cobbled streets of whitewashed architecture, enjoy a candle-lit dinner on the beach with the sea washing over your feet, taste fruity wines and fresh Greek cuisine, and take in the stunning views of the Aegean Sea.
Paris
France
Paris, the City of Love. Need we say any more? The French capital may be the cliché destination for a romantic holiday, but there’s still plenty of romance to be found away from the hoards of couples taking photos beneath la Tour Eiffel. Stroll the streets at night, pack a picnic and take in the views from the Sacré-Cœur, or hire a boat and float Canal Saint-Martin.
Istanbul
Turkey
Turkey’s largest city is steeped with history. Having served as the capital for four empires – Roman, Byzantine, Latin and Ottoman – Istanbul is a melting pot of different cultures where East meets West, and you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to food and cultural experiences. For the ultimate romantic experience, take the Orient Express from Paris to Istanbul, via Venice.
Whitsunday Islands
Australia
A trip to Whitsunday Islands will have you pinching yourself and rubbing your eyes constantly, unable to believe how beautiful the landscape is. With dense rainforest, white sand beaches and numerous hiking trails, this is the perfect spot for couples looking to relax after invigorating nature-based activities.
