We get it that not all romantic places in the world are the same.

It's why we've picked our top options here across various types of romantic vacations.

Most Romantic Regions to Explore Amalfi Coast, Italy | The Cotswolds, England | Masai Mara, Kenya | Provence, France | Tuscany, Italy

1. Galway, Ireland

Located on the West Coast of Ireland , the bohemian city of Galway opens doors to a bustling local town with a thriving lineup for theater, food, literature and more. The most romantic place in the world is also notably part of the Wild Atlantic Way, which is home to otherworldy scenery, including the famed Cliffs of Moher. Couples will want to venture to the Aran Islands by boat or seaplane and take in Connemara National Park for its bogs, lakes and natural beauty. After an adventurous few days, couples may want to indulge in fantasy and luxury in Co. Mayo at the well-recognized Ashford Castle, a converted five-star property that dates back to the 12th century.

2. The Amalfi Coast

Considered one of the most beautiful places in the world, and rightfully so, the Amalfi Coast offers 50 kilometers of gorgeous Italian coastline along with 13 clustered fishing villages and towns. Each pastel-colored town shimmering off to the distance offers its own distinct aesthetic and feeling. The most famous towns include Positano, Sorrento, Ravello, Praiano and Amalfi. Travelers will love the winding roads and dramatic views jutting out to the sea. (A fair warning, though, about the steep streets as you may want to prepare those step counts.) The benefits are well worth the hikes: couples should indulge in fresh al fresco dining, a midday Aperol Spritz, a delicious swim (weather permitting), as well as boat excursions or a stay in trendy Capri.

3. St. Lucia

The hulking Pitons make you feel as though you're in the South Pacific, but St. Lucia is an easy flight away from most of the US. The island has solidified its stance as the sultriest of the Caribbean islands, if not one of the most romantic places in the world. The only nation in the world to be named after a woman, The island is full of intimate exploration: heading to volcanic beaches, spotting a unique variety of birds, taking in lush foliage and natural setting, and enjoying mineral baths are just a few examples. At night, stargazing is a must and it's even more beneficial from your suite or villa's hot tub. Some, like Jade Mountain, even offer open-air views of the Pitons to give you that true indoor-outdoor feel.

Though busy during peak season, couples will agree that this destination is an idyllic spot for honeymooners and lovers. Couples should stay in a hotel with views of the Caldera or consider a quieter resort with sunset-facing villas with pools.

5. Lisbon, Portugal

The iconic Belem Tower in Lisbon, Portugal

The capital of Portugal is considered the country's biggest city, but it's a fraction of the size of most of its European counterparts. The cobblestone streets are lined with homes and businesses housed under baked red rooftops. The city's romance factor is highlighted by the São Jorge Castle (Saint George's Castle), a fortress that dates back to the 6th century and looks down from its formidable post on Lisbon's highest hill, as well as landmarks like Belem Tower. Dinner at SEEN Lisboa by Chef by Olivier da Costa offers panoramic views of the city. How's that for romance?

Take an Uber down the FDR at night and zip past the three bridges (Williamsburg, Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges) to the Lower Manhattan skyline and your heart feels as though it's racing with romance.

These Are The 10 Most Romantic Cities In The World — And Number One Is No Surprise

News and Tips
Travel News

Half the challenge of planning a romantic getaway is deciding where to go in the first place. That’s where the results of a new study come in handy.

Bounce , a luggage storage company with more than 8,000 locations in more than 1,000 cities worldwide, analyzed cities around the world to determine the world’s most romantic destination. Various factors were scrutinized, such as the number of romantic hotels, restaurants, and activities in each city.

The results of the study, “ Romantic City Breaks ,” are somewhat predictable; however, there are also some noteworthy surprises.

“From Paris to Barcelona, and San Francisco to Seville, there’s a city-break destination for every hopeless romantic to enjoy,” the report reads. “Whether you want to seek out the best romantic restaurants offering culinary delights or make a trip to explore a city’s historical architecture, this report will – hopefully – make your trip planning a little easier.”

The most romantic places in the world

By Laura Chubb , Francesca Syz and Lauren Burvill

Romance can be many things to many people, but few can resist the allure of a romantic escape for two. While there's no wrong answer when it comes to romance, some of the world's most beautiful spots lend themselves to catering to couples, especially when it comes to hotels. So whether you're planning a honeymoon , an anniversary or a weekend getaway just because, these are our top picks for the most romantic places in the world, plus where to stay in each.

1. Amalfi Coast, Italy

From the naturally blessed shores of Lake Como right down to Sicily's heart-melting capital Palermo , you could throw a dart anywhere on a map of Italy and land on one of the most romantic places in the world. It's spurred on much debate within the team but if we had to choose just one fuzzy-eyed spot in Italy, it's the Amalfi Coast. We're not alone in our admiration either. The Greeks, so taken by the area’s natural beauty, attributed it to a nymph who captivated the heart of Hercules. The towns of Amalfi Coast only add to the charm, with brightly hued houses dotted along the rocking hillside, each offering a unique outlook along with shops, restaurants and swimming spots that are up for discovery.

Where to stay: Pretty much all of the best Amalfi Coast hotels fit the bill for a honeymoon or romantic getaway. In terms of location, Borgo Santandrea in Amalfi is a winner, perched high in the cliffs and built into the rock face overlooking the sea. All rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows and sea views. Palazzo Avino in Ravello has equally knock-out views, especially from the top-floor Infinito Suite with its large living room and a bathroom with a hot-tub-style bath. For a stay that pulls out all of the stops, it doesn't get much better than Le Sirenuse , a Pompeii-style red and white building in the centre of Positano. The restaurant here, La Sponda, with its 400 candles and bougainvillaea-clad dining room, is quite possibly the most romantic in the region.

2. The Maldives

For going off-grid

Confetti bursts of colourful tropical fish in gin-clear lagoons, freshly prepared breakfast spreads delivered to your private pool via floating trays, sipping a morning coffee while a manta ray soars underneath your feet – it's the stuff of honeymoon dreams and the much lauded reality of a trip to the Maldives. While there are plenty of family-friendly hotels in the Maldives , few places can compare to the archipelago country's innate sense for romance and adults-only stays. Boutique stays and lo-fi boltholes area rarity here, instead the best hotels in the Maldives are world class, spread out on their own private islands, nestling state-of-the-art spas and multiple restaurants amongst lush jungles, pristine beaches and house reefs.

Where to stay: Romance comes naturally to pretty much all of the hotels in this region. Some standout spots include Vakkaru , a lush coconut tree-covered island resort with a jungle cinema that guests can reserve for a private dinner and movie under the stars. For the latest shiny stay, Six Senses recently set up its second hotel in the Maldives, offering up a tip-top spa with an impressive couples' suite. In terms of aesthetics, it's hard to beat Gili Lankanfushi Maldives , where all villas are stilted over one of the most eye-wateringly beautiful lagoons in the country, keeping the island wild and the beaches on full dazzling display.

3. Santorini, Greece

Santorini is the knockout Greek island – the island with the best views, the best sunsets, and the best hotels. Combine all of these elements and it's a recipe for one of the most romantic spots in the world. Days are best spent out on the water, sailing to nearby islands and hopping between the best beaches in Santorini . But then again you could easily stay at one of the best hotels in Santorini – where private infinity pools boast the best seats in the house – and never want to leave.

Where to stay: For one of the best views on the island, check in to cliffside Nobu Hotel , where the 25 luxe rooms and suites come with uninterrupted views of the Aegean. Similarly Andronis Boutique Hotel offers up a series of traditional cave-style suites and villas with private infinity pools, cave pools and hot tubs, set right in the heart of Oía. For a private stay, this traditional cave house in Oia is one of top trending homes on Airbnb . The view is postcard worthy, made all the more romantic when admired from the semi-cave whirlpool and multi-level private terrace.

4. Paris, France

For a weekend break

When it comes to a romantic city break it's hard not to have all eyes on Paris . The clichés can't help but ring true when exploring the city, from serene strolls along the Seine to a glass of wine with a view at one of the best rooftop bars in Paris . And then there are the hotels in Paris , amongst some of the best in the world, sublime in their views , old-world charm and effortlessly chic interiors.

Where to stay: Newcomer Le Grand Mazarin , in the enduringly romantic Le Marais, is one of the prettiest places to stay – all velvet pouffes, clashing prints and tapestry canopies over the beds. Nearby, Maison Proust has only 23 Belle Époque-style suites and a swoon-worthy Moroccan-style heated pool. To make a grand romantic gesture, reserve a room at St James Hotel in 16th arrondissement, Paris’s only officially designated château-hotel. This 11th arrondissement Airbnb also makes for a romantic stay, complete with fluffy bathrobes, sleek decor and a leafy private terrace.

5. Marrakech, Morocco

For a winter sun escape

With Morocco ’s year-round, bone-warming weather just a three-hour flight from London , Marrakech makes for a sunny romantic escape when all is gloomy at home. And while the buzz of the Old City's winding souks and the sight of cobras dancing out of baskets make for a fun adventure, there are other sides to Marrakech away from the noise of Jemaa el-Fna square and the tourists at the Jardin Majorelle. For a slower and more private pace, swap the medina for the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech, followed by a drink at Grand Café de la Poste, one of the most beautiful restaurants in the city.

Where to stay: When it comes to places to stay, the list of best hotels in Marrakech has grown rampantly in recent years, but our favourite – and by far the most romantic – is still La Mamounia . Set in 20 acres of gardens just inside the walls of the Old City, the hotel has retained the feel of a palace but added a contemporary theatricality to its accommodation (which now includes three three-bedroom riads with their own pools), plus four restaurants, five bars and a Salon de Thé. For a pretty riad stay , reserve a traditional room at Riad Sadaka and don't forget your swimming costume – the courtyard pool is simply stunning.

6. Bali, Indonesia

The spiritual getaway

Bali is beloved as the land of a million islands, misty, mythical mountainous stacks, and chilled-out beach clubs . It's also the land of some of the most beautiful places to stay in the world. No matter how many five-star hotels open up though, Bali is no homogenized island resort. It's a magical, spiritual place, which manages to retain its authenticity and culture, as well as its unspoilt beaches and green tropical landscapes. All essential ingredients for a romantic stay.

Where to stay: The list of fabulous Bali hotels is always expanding, but for something more down to earth, look to Sandat Glamping tents , set among bright-green rice fields close to Ubud. Cuddling under canvas is less lumpy groundsheets and roof leaks, more canopy beds and private decks. Newcomer Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape , is a “no walls, no doors” resort with just 16 villas as well as a two-story central pavilion from which a dreamy, lounger-lined infinity pool protrudes into the valley.

7. Tulum, Mexico

For bohemian chic

The golden beaches of Mexico have long been a draw for couples, but one such spot is increasingly becoming the go-to for well-heeled couples seeking bohemian barefoot luxury. Just south of Cancun on the Yucatán Peninsula lies Tulum , the promised land of designer yoga, spiritual jungle journeys and ancient-temple-fringed sands. Plus some of the best hotels in Mexico .

Where to stay: Casa Malca is a former hacienda of Pablo Escobar’s, and now a boutique hotel highly curated by socialite art dealer Lio Malca. Down a dirt path and away from the scrums of man-buns and juiced-up goddesses, here beach suites face a quiet stretch of powder-white sand; all windows point to the Caribbean . The hotel itself is like one giant immersive art exhibition; the entrance has a huge door carved out of tree trunks, framed by curtains stitched from vintage wedding gowns, between which dangle two swings made of antique furniture. As Lio says, it’s about ‘connecting with yourself and the wild’ as well as ‘luxury and art’.

8. Big Sur, California

For the outdoorsy

Nature-lovers can’t help but fall for Big Sur , a wild and storied stretch of California’s central coast. Its bewitching blend of towering redwood forest, muscular green mountains and crashing ocean views has drawn everyone from bohemian writers (Henry Miller) to Hollywood heavyweights (Steve McQueen), seeking isolation in its eucalyptus-scented heart. Is there anything more seductive than hiking hand-in-hand to remote, wooded waterfalls or discovering your own dramatic, deserted beach ?

Where to stay: Look to Alila Ventana , which sprawls across a Big Sur mountain meadow and where suites have a rustic-luxe, cabin-esque vibe. When you’ve finished gazing over the Pacific from your balcony hammock (roomy enough for two), try a couple’s treatment in a forest-facing spa cabana, plunge into the open-air Japanese baths, or take a dip in the clothing-optional communal pool.

9. Seychelles

For island indulgence

The world ‘oohs’ and 'aahs' about the Maldives but smart travellers know the Seychelles warrants just as much fanfare. Thanks to the islands' remoteness – 1,600km off the east coast of Africa – they have never been cheap to visit, or, for that matter, on any cruise-ship itineraries. And there in lies the appeal.

Where to stay: Only the best of the best can set up a hotel in the Seychelles . One such address is the Four Seasons Resort Seychelles , a remote hillside retreat overlooking the bay of Petite Anse on the south-west coast of Mahé. The 67 stilted villas and suites feel like tree houses, peeping out from the jungle canopy of coconut, mango, jackfruit and cinnamon trees. All the obligatory features of the luxury 'Robinson Crusoe' experience are in place – infinity-edged plunge pools, open-air showers, glass-walled bathrooms and expansive outdoor living areas – but taken to another level. At Six Senses Zil Pasyon , the villas are also more akin to super-smart, minimalist tree-houses, secluded amid rocks and pristine forest.

It may be a busy city full of comings and goings and beeping traffic jams butnbspNew Yorknbspis no stranger to magical...

10. New York

It may be a busy city, full of comings and goings and beeping traffic jams, but New York is no stranger to magical moments of romance. It usually hits the city when the first autumn leaves start to fall, blanketing the city in shades of auburn and ruby, crescendoing up until Christmas when leaves are swapped for twinkling lights. During this time one of the most romantic things to do in New York is to just take a walk, around Central Park, through Greenwich Village, along The High Line.

Where to stay: To lean into the romance of it all, play up to the old New York charms with a stay on the Upper East Side. There's The Lowell (pictured) on ritzy East 63rd Street, where bedrooms are the last word in elegance, with polished mahogany floors, Persian rugs and good, hand-made furniture. For pure relaxation amongst the chaos, check into the Aman in midtown, where the sprawling, three-floor spa and wellness centre has a 65-foot pool, plus not one but two spa houses – one centred around an Eastern European banya, the other a Moroccan hammam.

11. Ibiza, Spain

For island chic

As insiders will tell you, there's a lot more to Ibiza than meets the eye. Go off the beaten track even a fraction and you will discover a world of sleepy hill villages, wild forests, rambling orchards and crumbling farm houses. Time your visit to spring and a further surprise awaits: almond trees in full bloom, covering great swathes of the interior, with entire valleys exploding into glorious white and pink blossom. All this is complemented by an appealing combination of warm days and chilly nights.

Where to stay: Front-row seats for this extraordinary natural show are available at Cas Gasi , a 12-room property that spills down a hillside smothered in almond, fig and carob trees. Since opening in 1998, Cas Gasi has become known as one of the best hotels in Ibiza , particularly with high-profile guests who love its secluded location and low-key luxury. OKU Ibiza also has a privileged location that gives you access to the most beautiful beach spots on the island, along with wabi sabi–inspired design, two serene swimming pools, regular yoga sessions and fusion cuisine.

For romance by rail

There is something irresistibly romantic about luxury train travel . Add India to the mix and you've got an experience guaranteed to dazzle. In the heyday of the maharajas it was not unusual for royalty to travel with their furniture – four-poster beds, thrones, you name it. This is certainly the look the new Maharajas' Express is going for. One of the only luxury trains offering itineraries that cross India's state borders, 'Royal India' is a seven-day epic journey from Delhi to Mumbai , taking in Agra, Ranthambore, Jaipur, Bikaner, Jodhpur, Udaipur ( pictured above ) and Vadodara along the way.

Among the highlights is a decadent Champagne lunch on a hillock overlooking the Taj Mahal, a tiger-spotting jeep safari in Ranthambore National Park and elephant polo matches in Jaipur culminating in a Champagne dinner. Life on board is all about comfort. All the cabins and suites are wonderfully regal with huge windows, comfortable beds, LCD TV's and DVD players; but if your feeling particularly flush, book the two-bedroom Presidential Suite, which occupies an entire carriage and has a living room big enough for several comfortable sofas and a dining table. (The junior suite is also surprisingly roomy and much more reasonably priced.) Other treats include an observation carriage with its own bar, games table and club armchairs, and two fine-dining restaurants.

13. Antigua, Caribbean

The spa retreat

Accessed only by boat, the secluded, car-free private-island hideaway of Jumby Bay ( pictured above ), two miles off the coast of Antigua , offers the quintessential Caribbean experience. The standout for romance is the spa , set close to the beach and open to the elements, with five treatment rooms that open onto private terraces. The signature treatments use ingredients taken straight from the garden; one of the highlights is a treatment that involves lying in a soft, handmade hammock while a therapist focuses on pressure points in your head, back, hands and feet to release tension. You can then amble over to your thatched bohio (hut) on the beach, or to one of the many hammocks strung up between the palm trees. The resort is good for creative little extras: to help you enjoy the astonishing night sky, staff will pack a Champagne picnic dinner and send you off to star-gaze on Pasture Beach; there are also cookery classes for men, led by head chef Paolo Lovari, so while their partners indulge in spa treatments (not to generalise), they can learn how to make everything from ceviche to Caribbean lobster bisque.

14. Venice, Italy

For a hit to all the senses

In any line-up of the world’s most romantic cities, Venice has long been blazing a trail. This jewel-box city has an extraordinary ability to seduce every one of its visitors – whether it’s via the haunting cry of a gondolier bouncing off the city’s ancient stone walls; the awe and wonder of sighting a Caravaggio in a backstreet church, or the first sip of a perfectly sweet Bellini in a tiny cicchetti bar stumbled upon by chance. Skip the summer, when oppressive crowds steal much of Venice ’s romance and come in winter instead – the city becomes intoxicatingly quiet, and you’ll get most of the big-ticket sites all to yourself. To dial up the romance, whoosh in on the Venice-Simplon Orient Express : it’s hands-down the most lavish train journey in the world, and guaranteed to whisk you straight back to the golden age of travel.

Where to stay: If you’ve got deep pockets, you can’t beat a stay at Aman Venice – the gilded ballrooms, Murano chandeliers and priceless frescoes were good enough for the Clooney’s wedding night. But if you want to flee the paparazzi, float across the lagoon to Belmond Hotel Cipriani , a little pocket of peace with romantic rose and hydrangea-filled gardens and an enormous pool with views across to St Mark’s Square. Slightly further afield but no less magical, Casa Burano offers a more laidback, affordable stay, squirrelled away in a string of candy-coloured fishermen’s houses on film-set pretty Burano. The island can get busy at times, but once the day-trippers vanish, there’s no better place to catch one of Venice’s famous fuchsia-pink sunsets.

15. Buenos Aires, Argentina

For flinging on your dancing shoes

Buenos Aires is often touted as South America’s answer to Paris. Yet there’s far more to the sultry Argentinean capital than it’s intoxicating collision of European and Latin American cultures. This enduringly sexy city is an endless love affair of tango, sizzling asado and big, full-bodied wines – and most definitely a place to get dressed up and stay out late. A crop of exciting young chefs is revolutionising the city’s thrillingly unpretentious food scene, and buzzy rooftop cocktail bars are slowly taking over the city. And of course, there’s no better way to get under Buenos Aires’ skin than by learning the art of the world’s most passionate dance – even better if it’s done at a traditional, dimly-lit milonga .

Where to stay: Palacio Duhau dominates Buenos Aires’ hotel scene – inside, it’s a feast of glittering chandeliers and marble floors, while the candlelit terrace at restaurant Los Salones del Piano Nobile is an unbeatable date night spot. For a more authentic experience in the heart of trendy foodie neighbourhood Palermo, Home is a hipsters’ hangout with a tiny pool flanked by blousy jacaranda trees and the smell of jasmine lingering in the air. The delightful staff are the hotel’s biggest asset – miraculously appearing exactly when you need them, but utterly tuned in to knowing when you just want to be left alone with your significant other.

16. Iceland

For adventurous spirit

It's hard not to fall for Iceland’s awe-inspiring primal landscapes. The country delivers a hit of romance and adventure in equal measure, and in winter – when short days shout out for cosy nights snuggled by the fire, and there’s a decent chance of spotting the elusive Northern Lights dance across the eerily dark skies – there’s no better time to visit this Nordic superstar. To take it all in, hire a car and hit the 828-mile Ring Road route – wending its way along the country’s entire coastal region, it’s one of the world’s most romantic road trips, swishing past the glaciers, geysers and black sand beaches Iceland is so famous for.

Where to stay: There are plenty of cute cabins to book into along the way: we particularly like the look of this one , touching distance from Seljalandsfoss, one of Iceland’s most breathtaking waterfalls. To really hole up and hide away, book into Deplar Farm : deep in the ravishingly remote, bleak but beautiful Tröllaskagi Peninsula, this is one of Europe’s most isolated lodges – and a stay here truly is a once-in-a-lifetime treat. In Reykjavik, the Edition has warm and inviting rooms, with Italian furnishings made from ash wood and floor-to-ceiling windows that either frame the fjord and Mt. Esja or views of downtown.

17. Hamilton Island, Australia

For adventurous couples

Forget for a moment that the Whitsundays’ largest inhabited island is positioned right beside Heart Reef (exactly as it sounds: a perfectly heart-shaped coral reef). Because Hamilton Island isn’t for your typical doe-eyed duo – more for those possessing an affinity with the Australian fixation for flinging yourself into adrenalin-pumping stuff. The immaculate waters of the Great Barrier Reef offer world-class dive sites to discover together, while the island’s off-road trails provide a white-knuckle rush deep into the bush.

Where to stay: After a thrilling helicopter ride over this insanely Eden-esque landscape, daredevils can decompress at Qualia , a smart property on its own peninsula. It has 60 secluded one-bedroom, glass-walled pavilions, with private sundecks for gazing over the water – some with their own infinity-edged pool.

18. French Polynesia

The off-grid escape

Want to run away together? No one will find you at The Brando , an all-villa, super-exclusive hideaway on a private South Pacific island (30 miles north of Tahiti, but accessible only by six-seater plane). Marlon Brando bought Tetiaroa atoll in 1967 and, decades later, set about creating this sustainable, utopian spot, where nature alone provides both decoration and diversion. Smart, thatched dwellings tucked among coconut palms each have their own strip of sand, infinity pool and outdoor tub. The pristine lagoon and blindingly white beach are yours – all yours! – to explore. A hefty all-inclusive rate encompasses daily spa treatments, Champagne, food, excursions and more. (Be sure to make eyes at each other over French chef Guy Martin’s Michelin-grade feasts.) With only 35 villas on the entire island, intimacy comes guaranteed.

19. Provence, France

For old-school romance

We’ve got the likes of Cezanne, Renoir and Van Gogh to thank for parcelling up the pure timeless romance of Provence. A post-impressionist haze of higgledy-piggledy medieval hamlets, rolling olive groves and sunflowers lined up in serried ranks, Provence is the perfect setting for giddy sun-baked afternoons sipping rosé under the shade of a cypress tree, pedalling through lavender fields or hopping between vineyards.

Where to stay: There’s no shortage of romantic hotels to live out your Provençal fantasy in. Crillon Le Brave’s ramble of wisteria-tangled honey-stone buildings dominates an entire hilltop village; the best suites resemble private pieds-à-terre, with side-by-side rolltop baths and all-consuming views over the muted pastoral landscape. A little further south, Chateau Saint Martin is an ideal base for art lovers keen to explore gallery-laced St-Paul-de-Vence, brimming with pétanque-playing locals and home to the legendary family-run restaurant La Colombe d’Or. Back at the hotel, there’s a knockout spa (treatments can be taken in the rose garden on sunny days), and a Michelin-starred restaurant with neatly framed views of the glittering Cote d’Azur. Up here in the hills, you’re in proper fairy-tale Provence – and it’s the absolute antithesis to its see-and-be-seen coastal neighbour.

20. Kyoto, Japan

For city romance

From the weeping willows and paper lanterns of the historic Gion district to serene, manicured gardens and tinkling temple bells, Kyoto is a completely charming urban retreat. The antithesis of frenetic, futuristic Tokyo, it’s an immersion into the romance of a bygone Japan. And that romance really ramps up when you take a boat ride along the Oi River, where city streets are slowly transposed with misty, wooded hills.

Where to stay: At Hoshinoya , a singularly elegant ryokan group. Though the newer Tokyo version recently won a place in our Hot List, it’s at the Kyoto outpost that you’ll find the distinctive grace and tranquillity of Japan distilled. Moss-covered paths curve around sculpted maples and cedars; guest pavilions are exactingly designed, with sliding paper screens opening onto peaceful forest views. Better yet, bathrooms have deep, cypress tubs, with seasonal herbs provided to infuse your soak.

21. Botswana, Africa

For getting up-close with nature

To see Africa at its beguiling best, head to Botswana. The government here has put sustainability at its heart, shunning a revolving door tourism model in favour of low-volume, high-value stays. It’s a brilliant ploy to prevent the country’s precious national parks from becoming overrun, and in turn, Botswana has become one of the most exclusive spots for a safari – perhaps best known for epic wildlife-spotting opportunities and plum stays in some of Africa’s finest and most intimate lodges. Sure, you might not tick off all of the Big Five while you’re here, but instead of sitting in a bottleneck of 4x4s, you can cruise silently through the Okavango Delta’s network of waterways in a dugout canoe, or quadbike across the arid wilderness of the Makgadikgadi salt pans. There’s something utterly hallucinatory about the silence and seclusion; serene hot air balloon rides stand in for gas-guzzling helicopter flights, while nights in billowing white tents are paired with G&Ts around firepits and sleepouts with your lover under the starry skies.

Where to stay: A little oasis in the middle of the Kalahari Desert, Jack’s Camp is one of Botswana’s smartest places to stay, and the camp’s mahogany furniture and four-poster beds smack of old-world glamour. If you prefer something a little more modern, Xigera Lodge is an ultra-sustainable, off-grid choice – and it's filled to the brim with specially-commissioned works from exciting young African artists. Most importantly, it’s so vast you’d never know you weren’t the only guests. If you’re seeking a bucket-list honeymoon, this is it.

Romantic Summer Getaways

Venice, a city that seems to float on water, embodies the essence of romance with its labyrinthine canals, historic architecture, and eternal beauty. The history of this charming place is all around – in the narrow streets, on the bridges, and in the beautiful palaces.

Start your day at Piazza San Marco, the main square of Venice and the heart of its social and political life. Here you can admire the stunning St. Mark’s Basilica , a masterpiece of Byzantine art that reflects the city’s history and culture. You can also climb up the Campanile , the tallest structure in Venice, for a panoramic view of the city and the lagoon.

Continue your romantic journey with a visit to the Doge’s Palace , once the residence of Venice’s rulers and a symbol of their unparalleled power and opulence. Explore the lavish rooms adorned with impressive paintings, immersing yourself in the regal ambiance that surrounds you.

After that, take a gondola ride through the Grand Canal, Venice’s main waterway and one of the world’s most scenic routes. Marvel at the elegant palaces, the charming bridges, and the lively atmosphere along the canal. The best time to do this is in the evening, when the sun sets and the canal glows with a golden light.

Venice’s culinary scene, characterized by delectable seafood and traditional Venetian dishes, invites you to indulge in intimate dinners overlooking the canals. You might want to consider iconic places like Al Covo , a renowned trattoria known for its traditional Venetian cuisine and intimate atmosphere. For a Michelin-starred experience, Quadri on St. Mark’s Square offers a gourmet journey amid a sophisticated setting.

For a deluxe escape, Venice offers opulent retreats that capture the essence of Venetian elegance. The Gritti Palace , a Luxury Collection Hotel, housed in a former noble residence along the Grand Canal, exudes opulence with its sumptuous furnishings and exquisite art collection. For a secluded and intimate experience, Ca’ Sagredo Hotel , a 15th-century palace overlooking the Grand Canal, provides an exclusive setting with its lavish rooms adorned with priceless artwork.

Venice is a city to be best enjoyed in the summer . It is much cooler than most other cities in Italy during these months. Averaging around 80.6°F (27°C) in June, July, and August, you can stroll the romantic lanes and piazzas in comfort.

Niagara Falls, Ontario, is a beautiful city in southeastern Canada that attracts millions of visitors every year. It is famous for being the home of the spectacular Niagara Falls, a group of three waterfalls (Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls) that span the border between Canada and the United States. The city was once the honeymoon capital of the world, and for good reasons.

The history of this place as a romantic escape dates back to the early 19th century, when the daughter of U.S. Vice President Aaron Burr and the brother of Napoleon Bonaparte chose to honeymoon there. Since then, many A-listers and even royals have visited the falls, including the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, Elvis Presley, and Princess Diana. Niagara Falls has also been the setting for many movies, books, and songs that celebrate love and romance.

What could be more romantic than watching the Horseshoe Falls sparkle in the night? This is the perfect place to escape with your sweetheart and enjoy some quality time together.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can go behind the falls and see them from a different perspective. You’ll feel the power and the magic of the water as you stand behind the curtain of spray. Alternatively, the Maid of the Mist boat tour, navigating close to the base of the falls, offers an exhilarating experience, enveloping you in the misty embrace of the roaring cascades.

For a relaxing stroll, head to Queen Victoria Park and admire the lovely gardens and the views of both the American and Horseshoe Falls. You’ll be surrounded by nature and beauty, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to take photos and make memories.

After basking in the natural beauty, elevate your dining experience with stunning views at Prime Steakhouse Niagara Falls or indulge in creative local cuisine at AG Inspired Cuisine . For a taste of Niagara’s finest wines alongside a cozy atmosphere, venture to Weinkeller , where salads, burgers, pasta, and pizza await.

If you want to extend your romantic journey, you can choose from some of the best hotels in Niagara Falls. The Sterling Inn & Spa offers a romantic boutique hotel experience. With its stylish suites featuring fireplaces and deep soaking tubs, this luxury accommodation provides an intimate setting. The Marriott Fallsview Hotel & Spa , which rests on the edge of the falls, offers luxurious rooms with views of the cascades- an ultimate retreat with the soothing sound of rushing water.

Summer is the best time to visit Niagara Falls — and you don’t need to worry about high temperatures. The spray and mist generated by the falls ensures that the temperature of the surrounding area is a few degrees cooler than it otherwise would be.

Cappadocia is a historical region in central Turkey, known for its unique landscape of fairy chimneys, rock-cut churches, and underground cities. This place is also famous for its hot air balloon rides over the valleys, which make for a perfect romantic date.

A scenic view of two people observing a sky filled with colorful hot air balloons over unique rock formations during sunset.

One of the most popular destinations for these balloon rides is Goreme, a town that blends history and beauty in a captivating way. It is famous for its rock-cut churches and cave houses, which date back to the 10th and 11th centuries. Goreme is also the gateway to the Goreme National Park , a UNESCO World Heritage Site that features spectacular fairy chimneys and valleys. Explore these historical sites hand in hand with your special one, feeling the palpable connection to the past.

Having explored the rich heritage of Goreme, you can then immerse yourself in outdoor activities in the nearby valleys, where nature has carved its own masterpiece. The valleys of Cappadocia, such as the Rose Valley and Love Valley, provide opportunities for leisurely hikes, surrounded by the natural beauty of the unique rock formations.

For a touch of adventure, hop on a horseback riding tour through the rugged terrain, which is best for creating memories against the backdrop of Cappadocia’s distinctive scenery. The Uchisar Castle , perched atop a rocky outcrop, offers panoramic views of the region and is a romantic spot to watch the sunset or stargaze in the evening.

Dining experiences in Cappadocia are infused with warmth and hospitality. Cave restaurants, illuminated by soft candlelight, serve traditional Turkish cuisine, providing the perfect setting for a romantic dinner. Our top recommendations for an unforgettable culinary journey include Topdeck Cave Restaurant , celebrated for its commitment to sourcing ingredients from local farmers, ensuring a farm-to-table freshness that enhances every dish. Meanwhile, Cratus Premium Restaurant stands out not only for its majestic views but also for boasting the finest quality wines the region has to offer.

Cappadocia is also one of the best places to experience modern cave living and enjoy the cozy atmosphere and the authentic decor of the ancient dwellings. One of the best cave hotels is Phocas Cave Suites , located in Cavusin Village, not far from Goreme Open Air Museum. This hotel offers a hot tub and a terrace with views of fairy chimneys. The hotel also has a cave restaurant and a wine house. Another great option is Agarta Cave Hotel , situated in Goreme National Park, with beautiful architecture and well-decorated rooms.

Summer, particularly in August, is the best time to visit Cappadocia, when the temperature has dipped back down to below 85°F (29.4°C). It’s almost the month of the famous hot air balloon festival , where hundreds of colorful vessels soar high above captivated onlookers. It’s a truly breathtaking sight to share with someone important.

Romantic Fall Getaways

In the lineup of the most romantic cities in the world, you can’t skip a beat without hitting Paris, the city of love. It’s like trying to tell a love story without the essence of passion. Paris, after all, isn’t just a destination—it’s the very heartbeat of romance.

The iconic Eiffel Tower , standing tall against the Parisian skyline serves as a symbol of enduring love. As the sun sets, the tower sparkles with a thousand lights, casting a magical spell over the city. It is arguably one of the most photographed locations in the world and a popular spot for popping the big question.

Along the Seine River, you can take a boat cruise, passing under elegant bridges and taking in the illuminated landmarks that line the riverbanks. The ride will give you a different perspective of Paris, and a chance to cuddle up with your beloved.

Finally, wander through the streets of Montmartre, hand in hand with your beloved, which truly feels like stepping into a painting. The bohemian ambiance, the artists’ studios, and the Sacré-Cœur Basilica atop the hill contribute to the neighborhood’s romantic charm. And don’t forget to visit the Wall of I Love You , a mural that displays the words “I love you” in 250 languages. This enchanting wall is a testament to the universal language of love, and a perfect spot for a memorable photo.

To elevate the romantic experience, Paris offers a myriad of Michelin-starred restaurants, where you can indulge in exquisite French cuisine. Picture a romantic dinner at the luxury Le Jules Verne , nestled within the Eiffel Tower, or savoring classic French dishes at Le Comptoir du Relais —a rendezvous for lovebirds seeking a gastronomic symphony amid Parisian charm.

And when it comes to securing a dreamy escape, Paris doesn’t fall short. The Ritz Paris , situated in the heart of the city, exudes timeless elegance with its sumptuous decor and impeccable service. Le Bristol Paris , a palace hotel, combines old-world charm with modern luxury, offering couples a refined retreat in the prestigious Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

If a romantic view of the Eiffel Tower is desired, Shangri-La Hotel Paris provides an unparalleled experience. Nestled in the 16th arrondissement, this historic palace-turned-hotel offers breathtaking views of the renowned landmark, creating a truly magical setting for a romantic escape.

Fall visitors to Paris are rewarded with a stunning color palette of oranges and deep browns. Thinner crowds and more temperate weather means a more personal, comfortable, and romantic experience to share with someone.

San Francisco has been associated with various nicknames over the years. Did you know that it is sometimes also called the ‘City of Love’ due to its progressive and inclusive culture? The term gained popularity in the 1960s during the era of the Summer of Love, a movement that embraced peace, love, and countercultural ideals. The city’s liberal and open-minded atmosphere, combined with its scenic beauty and diverse communities, contributes to its association with love and acceptance. The Golden Gate Bridge , a symbol of San Francisco’s resilience and beauty, becomes a majestic backdrop, especially during sunset with all those warm colors.

A panoramic view of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, with cars traveling on it, set against a backdrop of the cityscape and clear blue skies.

Strolling through the historic neighborhoods, such as the beautiful streets of Nob Hill or the bohemian atmosphere of Haight-Ashbury, is an absolute delight, offering a unique journey through the city’s diverse and vibrant tapestry. Alamo Square, with its iconic Painted Ladies Victorian houses, provides a romantic setting for a picnic while gazing at the cityscape beyond. Twin Peaks, rising dramatically above the city, offers a nice view that becomes even more magical as the city lights begin to twinkle against the night sky.

San Francisco’s culinary scene, influenced by its diverse population, invites you to embark on a gastronomic journey. Treat yourself and your sweetheart to a Michelin-starred meal at Taj Campton Place , where you can savor the exquisite Cantonese dishes and cocktails. Alternatively, indulge in a smooth whiskey flight at Wilson & Wilson Private Detective Agency , a speakeasy bar hidden inside Bourbon & Branch (yes a bar inside of another bar!), and sip on quirky teapot cocktails and scotch in a cozy and intimate setting. Finally, sample the fresh seafood and aromatic wine at Fisherman’s Wharf , where you can also watch the sea lions and enjoy the street performers.

San Francisco boasts opulent accommodations that complement the city’s sophisticated ambiance. The Fairmont San Francisco , on the crest of Nob Hill, exudes grandeur with its historic architecture and breathtaking views of the city and the Bay. The Ritz-Carlton , located in the heart of downtown, combines modern luxury with classic elegance, providing a refined retreat for couples seeking sophistication.

For an intimate escape, the Cavallo Point Lodge , nestled at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge, offers a secluded haven with stunning views of the bay and the city skyline.

Visiting San Francisco in fall means you can avoid the traditionally busy summer months, while simultaneously visiting during the warmest and driest period. September and October temperatures are around 70°F (21°C). The colorful Victorian town houses contrast wonderfully with the darkening browns and yellows of the city’s foliage, making the city a beautiful one to stroll through with someone important.

Buenos Aires, often called the Paris of South America, is full of charm, culture, and romance, making it an ideal destination for couples.

Founded by Spanish colonizers in the 16th century, the city has witnessed revolutions, migrations, and transformations that have shaped its unique identity. Today, Buenos Aires is a cosmopolitan metropolis that offers a variety of attractions and experiences for visitors.

A serene and historical cemetery with ornate mausoleums, statues, and architectural details, set against a backdrop of modern buildings under a clear sky.

One of the most romantic things to do in Buenos Aires is to explore its neighborhoods, each with its own character and style. A walk through the vibrant streets of La Boca will take you to the birthplace of tango, where you can marvel at the murals and sculptures that tell the stories of the immigrants who made it their home.

In Recoleta, you can explore the city’s elegance and history. The famous cemetery , resting place of Eva Perón and other notable figures, is a key attraction. If you’re in the mood, check out Oak Bar , a cozy and elegant bar with antique oak paneling, a fireplace, and a terrace overlooking the garden. It is located in the Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt Buenos Aires , a luxury hotel that also offers art tours and spa services.

Palermo, on the other hand, will seduce you with its bohemian flair, where parks, art galleries, and trendy restaurants and bars invite you to relax and enjoy. If you are looking for a sophisticated and trendy place, you can visit Asmundo Bistro , a chic and elegant restaurant and bar with a stunning view of the Palermo Cathedral . It offers Mediterranean and Sicilian cuisine, cocktails, and live music.

Another romantic activity in Buenos Aires is to watch a tango show or take a tango lesson. Tango is the quintessential expression of the city’s passion and sensuality, and you can find many venues to experience it. You can also join a milonga, a social dance event where locals and tourists mingle and dance to the rhythm of the bandoneon.

To elevate the romantic experience, embark on a twilight cruise along the Rio de la Plata, and watch the sun dip below the horizon while sipping Argentine Malbec. The city’s skyline, illuminated against the night sky, creates a magical vibe that lingers in the hearts of those who visit.

If you are looking for a romantic place to stay in Buenos Aires, you have many options to choose from. You can opt for a luxurious hotel, such as the Algodon Mansion , a former townhouse in Recoleta that offers elegant suites, a rooftop pool, and a wine bar. Alternatively, a cozy boutique experience awaits at the Mine Hotel , a modern and minimalist gem in Palermo, featuring a garden, a pool, and a library. If history calls, the Hilton Buenos Aires , a landmark in Puerto Madero with a stunning glass atrium, a spa, and a restaurant, might be your ideal choice.

Buenos Aires in the fall (March to May in the southern hemisphere) offers comfortable average temperatures of 72°F (22°C), and means you can avoid the heat and humidity of summer. As a city with so much architectural beauty , it’s rewarding to amble comfortably from street to street, plaza to plaza, in your own time.

Romantic Winter Getaways

Zanzibar is a beautiful island in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Tanzania. It has a rich and diverse history, influenced by Arab, Persian, Indian, European, and African cultures. It is a place where you can experience the best of both worlds: the exotic and the familiar, the ancient and the modern, the adventurous and the relaxing. It is an ideal place to create memories with your partner.

The historic Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, whispers tales of a bygone era through its labyrinthine alleys and intricately carved doors. Lose yourself in the narrow streets and discover hidden gems like the Old Fort where time seems to stand still.

A serene beach with crystal clear turquoise waters, a white sandy shore, and a thatched-roof structure extending over the water under a clear blue sky.

Zanzibar’s beaches are a haven for couples seeking seclusion and serenity. From the powdery sands of Nungwi to the idyllic shores of Paje, each beach unveils its own enchanting beauty. Sunset walks along the beach, with the Indian Ocean casting hues of pink and gold, create a romantic setting that is simply mesmerizing.

Experience the romance of sailing into the sunset on a dhow cruise. As you glide along the coast, feel the gentle sway of the wooden boat and the soothing sound of the waves. Watch the sunset set the sky on fire, painting the ocean with its golden light.

For those seeking adventure intertwined with romance, a spice tour through the island’s lush plantations provides a sensory journey. The heady aromas of cloves, vanilla, and cinnamon set the stage for an exploration that engages the senses and sparks connection.

Zanzibar’s culinary scene, influenced by its diverse heritage, is a journey of flavors and aromas. The spice-scented air adds a touch of mystery to the surroundings, enhancing the romantic ambiance. From seafood feasts by the beach at Dongwe Jetty to rooftop dinners with 360-degree view of Stone Town and the Indian Ocean at Tea House Restaurant , the island’s restaurants cater to every romantic whim, offering a symphony of tastes that mirror Zanzibar’s rich cultural tapestry.

For those seeking a luxurious stay in Zanzibar, an array of options awaits. Indulge in the seafront setting of Park Hyatt Zanzibar , a 5-star hotel boasting an outdoor pool, spa, and wellness center. You can also immerse yourself in the rich culture and cuisine of Zanzibar at Tembo House Hotel , a 4-star establishment adorned with traditional Swahili furniture and featuring a refreshing swimming pool.

Winter in Tanzania is the best time to visit. As it’s the southern hemisphere, July is the driest month of winter and the best weather to enjoy a safari, for those couples with a more adventurous streak.

We’ve curated a list of the most romantic cities in the world for a special getaway, saving our best advice for the grand finale. Make your loved one fall even harder for you by booking a Blacklane . Imagine the surprise and delight on their face when they see a luxury car waiting for them at the doorstep.

Also, traffic can be incredibly congested in some of these cities, making it difficult to get to your destination on time and in a relaxed state. With a personal chauffeur, you can sit back, relax and enjoy the convenience of being driven around in style. Our chauffeurs are equipped with valuable local knowledge, fluent in English and the local language, and well-versed in the customs and norms of the region, ensuring that you navigate through unfamiliar territories with ease.

The 16 Most Romantic Cities on Earth

Written By: The Planet D

Travel Bucket Lists

Updated On: February 19, 2024

Looking to add a little romance into your travels? There are some pretty romantic cities to visit and Dave and I have gone around the world rating the romance factor. We feel that we are definitely qualified to rank the most romantic cities on earth since we have actually been to the ones listed below. What do you think? Did we get the list right? Do you have a romantic city we should add?

The World’s Most Romantic Cities

We have personally experienced some of the most sizzlingly romantic destinations on earth. A glamping experience in the Outback ranks among the tops, and relaxing in our own soaker tub as we look over the Aegean Sea of Santorini was incredibly romantic, but Santorini isn’t exactly a city, it is more of an island filled with villages . (albeit it is beautiful indeed!) this post is about the most romantic cities in the world. So without further adieu, here are our choices for the most romantic cities on earth.

1. Paris, France

Ah Paris, the city of light. The City of Amour. The city of love. It may seem cliché but we don’t care. Paris is number one of all the romantic cities in our eyes. There is nothing like strolling along the River Seine as the Eiffel Tower sparkles late at night.

Sharing escargot with a fine bottle of French wine over candlelight is perfectly wonderful and enjoying a quiet moment on the Canal is as stereotypically romantic as it gets. Paris is made for Amour.

2. Venice, Italy

Many people say “get out of Venice.” We disagree. If you are traveling to Venice by cruise ship or tour bus, we can understand why you feel that way, but if you stay in the city for a few days and explore, you will find it absolutely enchanting. When the hoards of tourists leave, the city goes quiet, and getting lost in the maze of alleyways and back streets is pure romance.

Go during the off-season, or stay in Venice overnight for a few days and you’ll understand what we are talking about. A private water taxi tour is the perfect way to explore and feel that you are creating your own storybook romance or Hollywood movie scene.

And of course, you must take a gondola ride through the canals. What says romance more than floating through Venice waterways. The setting is bewitching. Take a boat over to San Giorgio Maggiore to gaze upon the city from the clock tower, you cannot help but fall in love.

3. Hangzhou, China

Located on the very picturesque West Lake, Hangzhou is the honeymoon capital of China. Known for its touching love story “The Legend of the White Snake,” lovers and newlyweds flock to its shores to capture some of Hangzhou’s romance and magic. The tragic tale is romantic enough, but the setting makes it truly magical. Marco Polo declared “In heaven, there is paradise: on earth there is Hangzhou.”

Mountains surround the lake filled with islands, pagodas, parks, and pathways. It’s as relaxing as one can get in urban China and stopping for a huge bowl of frozen yogurt is the ultimate date.

4. Udaipur, India

Udaipur is known as one of the most romantic cities in India. Its idyllic setting makes it truly marvelous. Situated on Lake Pichola with the famous Lake Palace standing proud in the center of it all, Udaipur makes for a fairytale setting. With palaces and temples, mosques, and ghats, it is a city fit for royalty.

We dined on balconies overlooking the lake and lounged on cushions sipping tea and enjoying the bustling daily life outside. With a hotel located directly on the water, you couldn’t ask for a more romantic setting.

5. San Francisco, USA

How can you not include a city that has hearts springing up everywhere? San Francisco is one of the most popular places to visit in the United States and it is certainly one of the most romantic cities. The heart of San Francisco was an art installation started in 2004 and artists bid to design their own unique heart each year. San Francisco is such a beautiful walking city. There is waterfront dining and people watching at Union Square.

A romantic walk near the Golden Gate bridge or bike ride down near Marine Drive and the Golden Gate Bridge. If hiking and biking is your idea of romance, this is the city for you. San Francisco is for being outside and enjoying the waterfront and high seas. As a metropolis, it has all the fine dining, nightclubs and lounges you could hope for.

6. Quebec City, Canada

Quebec City is North America’s most European city and if you want an old-fashioned romantic getaway this is the place to go. Quebec City is a place to get lost in the cobblestone streets of the old city. Take a horse carriage ride or walk along the St. Lawrence River. Quebec City just may be the only city that gets better in the winter.

Go ice skating in the old city outdoor arena, take part in the Quebec Winter Carnival. Quebec City is one of those cities that makes you feel as if you want to do something Grand. It is here that you must cuddle up with your loved one in a big old grand hotel, eat decadent French food and enjoy drinks at Le Concorde while overlooking the city skyline.

Yep, Quebec is pure romance.

7. Cape Town, South Africa

When we first laid eyes on Cape Town we both gasped and said, this is the most beautiful city on earth. As we stood on a bridge at the V&A Waterfront, we looked back at the city with the enormous Table Mountain looming overhead. It was so romantic. Table Mountain framed the picturesque city mixed with colonial buildings and modern high rises situated on the water.

It’s all about water in Cape Town, and you can dine by the sea in places like Camps Bay, Cape Town’s most scenic oceanfront route. Just driving around Cape Town is romantic. Chapman’s Peak is one of the most scenic drives in the world. Rent a car , and take a day trip to drive the coast with your honey by your side. Now that’s romantic.

8. Melbourne, Australia

While many people put Sydney at the top of their list, we fell in love with Melbourne. It is considered one of Australia’s top romantic destinations. Take a hot air balloon over the city at dawn followed by a champagne breakfast.

Get lost in the hidden lanes of Melbourne, or buy some fresh bread, cheese and wine at Victoria Market. Restaurants line the picturesque Yarra River, where you can enjoy a romantic dinner on a patio to watch the sun go down. Take a day trip to the incredibly beautiful Twelve Apostles and you too will fall in love with Melbourne.

Dublin is one of our favorite cities on earth, but it is also a place for romance. Saint Valentine is buried in Dublin, so you know it has to be a romantic city right? One of the great romantic writers of the ages grew up in Dublin. Visit the Oscar Wild Memorial and get lost in the romance of Dublin.

Take a walk through Saint Stephen’s Green or make your way to Love Lane. Yes, there is a place called Love Lane in Dublin. Love Lanes are a series of lanes that have transformed the old dark streets of Dublin to bright and cheery date night locations.

Trinity College is a wonderful place to go for a walk, and simply strolling hand in hand along the River Liffey is a lovely romantic thing to do.

10. Marrakech, Morocco

Nothing says romance more than an exotic destination. Marrakech was made for romance. It reminds me of an old-time romantic adventure movie where damsels and explorers ride through the Sahara Desert to the Atlas Mountains. Stay in a Riyad in this Morrocan City and see how sheiks and Bedouins lived.

Get lost in the maze of streets in the Medina and buy your loved one a trinket in the souks. End your day overlooking Djemma El Fna from a rooftop patio as watch the sunset while sweet peppermint tea with your sweetie.

Japan, how we love you! Staying in a Ryokan is probably one of the most romantic things we have done in our travels. Kyoto is considered one of Japan’s most romantic cities with beautiful temples and those iconic Tori Gates.

Kyoto and Tokyo can be crowded, but if you make sure to have an escape in a Ryokan, all the crowds and chaos will melt away.

It took us a few trips to Athens before realizing it was a romantic city. It’s not only its rich history, stunning architecture, and iconic landmarks such as the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and the Temple of Olympian Zeus that make the city so romantic there is so much more. One can only imagine what couples strolled the streets of Plaka or gazed upon the city from Lybaticus Hill.

Athens boasts charming neighborhoods, scenic parks, and picturesque seaside promenades that are perfect for romantic walks.

The beaches are exotic.I have never been in a plane let alone gone out of my country Kenya but I love travelling and experiencing new things,hopefully i will get to do that soon. Being young, 20 yrs i dream of many things and having my honeymoon in either of the two countries will be a dream come true.

I hope to get to the Maldives one day soon. It’s my dream trip to stay in one of those stilt houses on the water.

Yes, Udaipur is one of the most beautiful romantic destinations in India. But, there is also Kerala, which is the most visited honeymoon destination in south India.

Great addition Courtney. We loved Kerala too! that’s where we started our India travels and it’s wonderful!

I don’t know if I will ever get the privilege of traveling to these wonderful Cities, so I will be honored if you allow me to take these adventures through your Journey.

Ever So Grateful,

Thank you Barbara. That is what we used to do before traveling ourselves. We were inspired by photos and stories and then one day we managed to have the opportunity to go there. Hopefully the same thing will happen for you!

I would disagree in one point. I would put Ukiah, California at the top of the list because that is where my husband and I live and I can not think of any place more romantic that a place with him.

Thanks for letting us know about Ukiah, we’ll have to check it out. Cheers

I totally agree with Paris, France and Venice, Italy, such amazing and romantic places. The sceneries are magic so are the food, people and culture. What a well rounded adventure for two lovers or even solo!!!

I have to say, Italy could have it’s own post for romantic cities. It was difficult to choose. There’s Florence, Rome, Bologna, Pisa,…the list goes on and on.

Agreed they are great cities for any type of travel. So much to see and do in all of them. Not just for romance.

You guys are two cute, love all the kissing photos! I love a good beach for my romantic spots, but Paris is pretty high up on that list too.

Thank you! We love the beach too! That will have to be another post in the future. The most romantic beaches. Thanks for the idea!

I have always wanted to travel to Quebec

I hope you make it there one day, you’ll love it.

Dar Es Salaam has its romantic charm in a different way. Its a city to get close. https://fairtravelr.org

Thanks for the recommendation. We haven’t been to Dar Es Salaam, we’ll definitely have to go now!

Where is Prague / Czech republic / Europe?! 😀

Prague is another great choice for sure. We only spent 2 nights in Prague so we felt that we couldn’t properly include it because we just didnt’ know enough about it.

I was reading this, thinking “where’s Prague?” when I saw someone beat me to it. We spend 3 months there last summer and are going back for a week next month. Spanky needs a little romance after 6 months in SE Asia…. Nice post, great pics. Frank (bbqboy)

Ha, yes, many people love Prague. We only spent a couple of days there and it was very crowded. WE’ll have to go back and give it another try. Maybe at a quieter time of the year. But we did enjoy the city and it is beautiful. We do have it in another list where we say it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

I would have never thought of Hangzou, China as a place that might be listed. That said, maybe I’ll have to add it to my list of new places to take my lady.

Hangzou is pretty nice. It’s picturesque and relaxing by China city standards. We loved it there.

Lovely the cities and I would Included in this list the city of Rio de Janeiro and Barcelona, special for a lovely Honeymoon. Brazil Honeymoon vacations

What a coincidence! I also wrote a similar post on my blog for Valentine! And I also mentioned Udaipur’s Lake Pichola. I am glad you guys had a lovely time in India. Happy Valentine’s Day to both of you! <3

That is a coincidence. So glad you mentioned Udaipur as well. We just loved it there. Hope you had a Happy Valentine’s Day too!

I have always wanted to travel to Quebec. From the scenery to the culture, everything there seems absolutely wonderful. Hopefully my travels will lead me there sooner rather than later! Thanks for sharing.

I hope you manage to get to Quebec one day soon as well. It’s a beautiful city and so romantic.

What a great list. I agree that Paris is the number one romantic place in the world. It really is the city of love. From the first time that I went there, I fell in love with the city itself, not just my special person with me. I have not been to Venice, but it is high on my list of places to see. I always felt that it would be a very romantic place (just imagine being on a gondola with someone special). I hadn’t thought about San Francisco, but it is definitely a place where I left my heart. I would never have thought that Cape Town would be on such a list. I will have to check that place out. Thanks for such great ideas.

Glad we could give you some ideas Bob and so glad you agree about Paris. I know it’s the obvious choice, but it is always number one on our list.

i follow yor blog and day after day i discover new things i ts realy wonde’rful so sorry for my bad english good job

Recommended by mari of mari on the map.

There is quite literally something for every couple in Santorini , whether you want to sit around in a pool or hot tub, relaxing, take in the spectacular views (you can do just that at the romantic Athina Luxury Suites), go hiking on a volcano and off-roading on ATVs, or a little bit of both. Form adventure to romance to relaxation, this island has it all. Santorini’s iconic islet and crescent-shaped island in the Aegean Sea were born from the still-active volcano that the town sits on. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can take a quick boat ride over to the volcano and hike it. The views of the inhabited portion of the island are amazing from here.

If you want a tamer water excursion, the docks where the ferries come in have many boating tours available, from smaller or even private romantic journeys to more of a party atmosphere with about 50 other guests. These mini cruises always include the amazing food and wine that Greece is known for. Back on the top of the inhabited island, the easiest way to get around is by renting an ATV (4-wheeler) or a motorcycle. There are many paved and dirt roads you can ride along the island to make it as tame or wild as you choose. Don’t miss the option to ride to Oia to see the sunset at least once. It’s one of the most spectacular in the world!

All of these elements make Venice a perfect destination for couples looking to experience romance and culture.

Vrnjacka Banja, Serbia

Recommended by marya of the beautraveler.

Vrnjacka Banja may not sound like one of the most romantic cities in the world, but it is certainly one of the best romantic places to go in Serbia . Best known as a spa town in the central part of Serbia, Vrnjacka Banja is a great destination if you’re looking for a place to relax with your beloved one.

Many accommodations in Vrnjacka Banja usually offer affordable spa packages, even the budget-friendly ones. While the city itself is not that big, Vrnjacka Banja is surrounded by UNESCO heritage sites in Serbia, including Sopocani and Studenica Monastery.

Whether you want to explore further through the Ibar River Valley to visit all these famous monasteries or stay in the city, there are plenty of things you can do as a couple in Vrnjacka Banja.

Not too far from the town square, you can visit the famous Most Ljubavi , or the local term for the Bridge of Love. Known as the landmark of Vrnjacka Banja for over a century, the Bridge of Love is believed to be one of the first spots for the love padlocks tradition in the world.

The history of the Bridge of Love in Vrnjacka Banja started in the early 1910s when a local school teacher Nada fell in love with a man called Relja. The bridge above Vrnjacka River is believed to be the spot where they usually met before Relja was deployed to the war in Greece as a soldier.

It is believed that Relja fell in love with a Greek girl from Corfu during the war, that he broke up with Nada upon his return to Serbia. Nada never recovered from that, and she eventually died of a broken heart after that.

Nowadays, the locals believe that putting their love padlock with their name and their partner on the Bridge of Love will prevent them from facing the same fate as Nada and Relja, which you can do with your loved one if you visit Vrnjacka Banja.

Los Angeles, California, USA

It may be hard to think of Los Angeles as a romantic city when you compare it to other more well-known cities like Paris, Florence, Bruges, or Kyoto but it does have its perks. It’s romantic in that there are many amazing options on what you can do with your significant other. Any type of couple can find something to make that night just a little extra special.

For outdoor couples who enjoy nature and hiking, make your way up to Griffith Observatory at night. You will have great views of the city at night with all its lights, be able to see the Hollywood Sign, or catch a stargazing light show in the observatory.

The more artistic and hipster-esque couples should go to the LACMA or Getty Center for great art displays, sculptures, and beautiful garden grounds. Music lovers can catch a show at the Greek Theatre or Hollywood Bowl for amazing performances

Foodies and fine drink lovers need to head to Malibu Estate Vineyard. This casual wine tasting is great as it’s right across the street from the beach on the Pacific Coast Highway. Along with some quality seafood to pair it with it’s a great place for lunch or dinner. So, purchase a bottle and feel the sand beneath your feet and take in the calm ocean waves.

A good central hotel to stay at that is romantic and close to all these areas is the Culver City Hotel. It’s historic and has catered to many Hollywood legends. It’s small but you can feel the energy here with classic furniture, a well-stocked bar, and even live music of the jazz variety on occasion.

Mexico City, Mexico

Recommended by ashlea of she roams about.

Mexico City is easily one of the most romantic cities around the world, with charming European architecture, history at every turn, countless museums and galleries to explore, and incredible cocktail bars and restaurants to indulge in.

Foodies, history buffs, culture seekers and city lovers will be spoiled for choice as there is so much to do and see when visiting Mexico City . Foodies will lap up the culinary scene of Roma and Condesa with Michelin-quality restaurants like the world-renowned Pujol that will have taste buds dancing. Local favourites like Blanco Colima will also impress and offer all the flavour, style, and service at a comfortable price point. History buffs can explore the more than 200 museums and galleries or wander the Centro Historico, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. Culture seekers will feel at home in Coyoacán, the oldest part of the city. Stroll along the cobblestoned streets lined with colonial buildings, snack on elotes (Mexican street corn) in the central garden or peruse the wares at the Mexico design market.

When it comes to romantic boutique hotels in Mexico City it’s hard to beat Casa Emilia, located in Reforma. This neighbourhood is named for the Paseo de la Reforma, a wide avenue modeled after the Champs-Élysées of Paris. A romantic nest in the heart of the city, this boutique oozes Mexican luxury. The location is ideal, a quick Uber to Chapultepec Park complete with a castle and lake, and steps from the Angel of Independence.

For a truly romantic date night head to Cityzen Rooftop Kitchen for handcrafted cocktails and snacks to share at very reasonable prices. The view on the wraparound patio is the best in the city so snuggle up under a provided blanket and watch the city turn from day to night by firelight.

Québec, Canada

Recommended by jessica of jet off with jess.

If you’re looking for a romantic European feel city in North America, Québec is the perfect choice. The city is one of the oldest cities in North America, founded over 400 years ago. Because of this it has a very different vibe compared to the more modern cities in Canada, such as Vancouver and Toronto. This destination is perfect for a couple looking to relax as well as enjoy some culture and good food. There are so many things to do in Québec and it’s best to stay 2-3 days to experience the city in full. I recommend visiting Palace Royale, Terrasse Dufferin, and taking the Québec-Lévis ferry. The Petit Champlain is a must and the district’s cobblestone streets are lined with beautiful bistros and boutiques. Walking down you will make you feel you’re in a fairy-tale town.

Most restaurants in the city will not disappoint with amazing food and service. You can’t leave Québec without trying the famous local meal; poutine. Poutine is a dish of French fries and cheese curds topped with a brown gravy and it’s so good! For a romantic hotel to stay in, the famous Hôtel Château Frontenac is the most idyllic for a couple and is situated right in the centre. This hotel also holds the title of the world’s most photographed hotel and was also designated a National Historic Site in 1981. It is quite expensive to stay in this hotel because of its reputation but if you’re looking for a cheaper option but still a luxury stay, then try Hotel Nomad. The best time to visit Québec is between June to September for the summer season or from December to February if you want a romantic snowy vacation.

Willemstad, Curacao

Recommended by sabrina of shades of summr.

Willemstad, the colorful capital of the Caribbean island Curacao , is one of the most romantic cities I can think of. The city is incredibly vibrant and rich in culture that will have you in a great mood immediately. Couples interested in culture, food, and an eclectic atmosphere will love going to Willemstad for a romantic getaway.

The most prominent feature of the town is the colorful houses and the amazing street art. In the evenings, fairy lights light up the small alleys and you can see people dancing in the streets everywhere. Another great perk of visiting Willemstad is that it is conveniently located by the water, so you can watch an amazing sunset over the Caribbean ocean every evening. The city is filled with romantic restaurants, lovely bars, and historical sites for you to enjoy.

A great and romantic place to stay is the Avila Beach hotel just outside of Willemstad. You can reach the city center in just a couple minutes’ of walking and it has a stunning beach. This hotel is also famous for hosting the Dutch King and Queen, when they go on vacation in Curacao.

For a great romantic dinner experience, I can recommend Fort Nassau, a former castle located on top of a hill just outside the city. Book their romantic dining experience for two and they will seat you on a lovely balcony, from where you can see the sunset over Willemstad. The food is absolutely great and there are only three other couples on the terrace with you. This is a great spot for a romantic evening.

An email you’ll actually love

Most romantic cities in the U.S.

1. Napa, CA

World-class wine, views of rolling hills covered in vines, gourmet dining and extra-extravagent resorts—there's a reason Napa Valley is the destination of choice for honeymooners and romantic vacations for couples of any age (well, over 21.) A getaway to Napa is certainly centered around wine. And with more than 400 wineries and 90 tasting rooms across the county, it can be hard to choose. Some of our favorites include Markham Vineyards in St. Helena and the iconic Trefethen Winery in Napa proper. But one of the best ways to make the most of a trip to Wine Country is to book a ticket on the historic Napa Valley Wine Train , which offers a variety of rides that let you ride through the vineyards and, on some, stop off at various wineries along the way.

2. New York, NY

In the city that never sleeps, there is a bevy of romantic hotel options from The William Vale in Brooklyn to The Pierre overlooking Central Park, gorgeous spots to rest and recharge after a day gallivanting around the Greatest City in the World . While in New York , take in a Broadway show, enjoy a leisurely dinner at Le Bernardin , or an afternoon visiting The Guggenheim . Whatever your inclination—bagels in the park or a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge—you’ll find no shortage of romantic options.

3. Aspen, CO

No matter the season, Aspen delights travelers looking for some luxe, mountain fun—though, to be sure, no skiing and/or mountain biking is required for maximum enjoyment of this artsy enclave, home to five-star hotels like The St. Regis and restaurants like French Alpine Bistro , oozing romance (and fondue!). The city is removed enough to feel like a true escape from chaos but bustling enough to radiate big-city energy.

4. Marfa, TX

Although it rose to fame and became a destination in its own right, thanks to a thriving art scene, Marfa is much more than an art lover’s paradise. This West Texas city is home to the state’s highest golf course, a boutique winery offering private tastings for two, and Convenience West , a BBQ joint that's a 2024 James Beard semifinalist. Get back to basics with your person via a stay at El Cosmico , where yurts, trailers, and tepees encourage off-grid intimacy.

5. Cape Cod, MA

If you're looking for romance on the Eastern seaboard, you and your boo won't be disappointed by the ever-charming Cape Cod . Situated along the Atlantic coastline, a trip to Cape Cod feels like a step back in time—with its white-sand beaches and classic New England aesthetic (think quaint cottages with American flags and historic lighthouses). Picnic on the beach, stroll hand in hand with ice cream, or hop on a bike to cruise town — here, there's a timeless romance that will leave you enchanted.

6. Scottsdale, AZ

Considered by many to be the OG of the spa vacation, Scottsdale is the place to be when life and all its stressors start to feel unwieldy. Scottsdale is home to more than 50 spas in total—many are within resorts (such as the VH Spa at the Hotel Valley Ho and Sanctuary Spa at Sanctuary Camelback Mountain), but there are plenty of more affordable day spa options and even more holistic treatment options at Second Nature Clinic . But it’s not all body scrubs and deep tissue massages; take a horseback ride through the desert or experience Arizona's up-and-coming wine scene at Old Town tasting rooms like Merkin Vineyards .

7. San Francisco, CA

The Golden Gate Bridge at dusk. Old Victorians. A slew of romantic restaurants to serve every budget, including hot spots 7 Adams , Aphotic and Dalida . A diverse dance club scene . All existing in an inimitable inclusive atmosphere firmly cements San Francisco as one of the country’s national treasures. Agreeable weather, beach access, and an option to retreat to wine country for a half or full day add to Northern California’s magical appeal.

8. Miami, FL

Yes, that Will Smith song is now stuck in our heads. Miami is an ideal choice for couples who eschew the generic. Spend time people-watching as you walk along South Beach or meander the grounds of Vizcaya Museum and Gardens before retreating to the tranquil confines of the splurge-worthy Setai, where gracious staff sees to it that you and yours bask in the lap of luxury.

9. New Orleans, LA

Who says a city famous for its parties and raucous open streets can’t be romantic? Certainly not us. New Orleans is the place to get silly and buzzed with your other half, sure, but it’s so much more than that. It's also a culturally rich city with sultry appeal beyond its beignets. Creole-style architecture, some of the best restaurants in the country , an evolving cocktail scene, live music every night of the week, and festivals galore provide NOLA’s visiting couples with ample opportunity to spice things up.

10. Maui, HI

From families to solo travelers, Hawaii is a dream trip for nearly everyone. That includes couples looking for a romantic escape to paradise. Because paradise, Hawaii is. While you can't go wrong with any of the islands, we find Maui to be a quite romantic choice, as it's less crowded than Honolulu but offers more action than Kauai. On the 'Valley Isle', you can spend an entire vacation relaxing on breathtaking beaches and lounging at your resort—or for the more adventurous, explore the famous Road to Hana. Whatever you do, make sure to be respectful of this cherished land.

11. Greenville, SC

While certain other Southern cities have bogarted the love in recent years, it’s high time this little South Carolina gem takes center stage. The romance in Greenville is evidenced in its sparkling clean, eminently walkable downtown bursting with restaurants ( Camp is the ultimate date night spot), art galleries, adorable gift shops, and inviting cafes—all the fixings for a lovely, low-key respite.

12. Las Vegas, NV

Kitschy wedding chapels aside (or not?), there’s far more to Sin City than an impromptu elopement. Thanks to an unbeatable high-end hotel scene, dining rooms brought to you by bold-faced restauranteurs like Michael Mina and Giada De Laurentiis, and exciting musical residences from Katy Perry and Adele, Las Vegas is always uber-glamorous. And if the casinos don’t stoke the fire (or your bank account), head off-strip to enjoy the nearby hiking in glorious Red Rock Canyon, the perfect selfie spot.

13. Portland, OR

Oregon state's largest city has long been considered cool, but the buzz about this PNW city shows no sign of dimming any time soon. Portland is packed with walkable or bikeable neighborhoods, depending on your mileage, incredibly diverse cuisine , a growing hotel scene, and some of the finest dispensaries in the state. Portland's exploratory appeal is clear for all to see, and its love affair with donuts is truly inspiring stuff.

Cooperstown is undeniably family-friendly – it's home to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum and Cooperstown Dreams Park, after all. But this central New York village is also ideal for a romantic weekend getaway, whether you and your beau are baseball fans or not.

Nicknamed "America's Most Perfect Village," Cooperstown boasts plenty of boutiques, breweries and art galleries, such as the Fenimore Art Museum, located on a property once owned by James Fenimore Cooper, author of "The Last of the Mohicans." In the winter, you and your partner can also try cross-country skiing or showshoeing at Glimmerglass State Park.

Glenmere Mansion: Chester

You'd never guess that this 150-acre estate is located in the U.S., let alone that it's only around 70 miles from New York City. Constructed in 1911, the mansion – then the summer home of industrialist Robert Goet – sits in the countryside of the Hudson Valley, intended to resemble the villas of Tuscany at the time. Now a Relais & Châteaux boutique hotel , Glenmere Mansion features more than a dozen guest rooms, each one thoughtfully redesigned and unique. Most rooms have fireplaces, and many offer terraces.

Romantic retreats can (and should) include indulging at the Glenmere spa, which features a tandem suite with side-by-side soaking tubs and treatment tables. Guests of the spa enjoy pre- or post-treatment tapas and access to a variety of amenities, including an herbal steam room, dry heat sauna and a Swiss shower.

Visitors at Glenmere also have access to four fine dining venues and local activities such as historic sightseeing and wine tasting at the award-winning Brotherhood Winery, widely considered the oldest winery in the U.S. Note that Glenmere Mansion is an adults-only resort . Many previous guests praise Glenmere, noting that the food is exceptionally good.

Perhaps the grandest of all the mansions and castles in New York (and the U.S.) is Mohonk Mountain House. Founded in 1869, the resort can be found tucked into the Hudson Valley, less than 100 miles from New York City.

Another major draw? It's one of few all-inclusive resorts in the U.S. Rates include three farm-to-table meals daily plus afternoon tea and cookies; a roster of activities, spanning water sports on Lake Mohonk to 85 scenic miles of hiking trails; wellness offerings such as a spa and fitness classes; nightly entertainment including live music and seasonal campfires; and, for families, additional kid-specific activities. Couples can choose Victorian-style guest room or suite accommodations with wood-burning fireplaces in the Mountain House, or opt to stay in the more private Grove Lodge.

While this National Historic Landmark resort is pricey, previous guests agree the cost is well worth the experience.

Address: 1000 Mountain Rest Road, New Paltz, NY 12561

While the Catskills may always be synonymous with "Dirty Dancing," the region looks a bit different than it did when Frances "Baby" Houseman and Johnny Castle fell in love here. A boom in boutique lodging options is once again attracting travelers to an area that saw a period of decline from the 1970s until recent years.

Modern-day Babys and Johnnys can now go glamping at AutoCamp Catskills; spend the night at Wylder Windham, a full-service boutique hotel next to Windham Mountain Resort; relax in rustic-luxe rooms with soaking tubs at Urban Cowboy Lodge; tuck into cozy cabins at Eastwind Windham, which also features standalone saunas in the woods; or even spend the night at a revamped retro motel such as the Starlite Motel, with its outdoor pool. Throughout the region couples will also find breweries and cideries, U-pick farms, and (of course) the outdoor adventures that first put the Catskills on the map: skiing, hiking, biking and more.

Courtesy of Niagara Falls USA

Known as the "Honeymoon Capital of the World," Niagara Falls is the original romantic getaway in New York. Couples in search of romance have been visiting the region since the 1800s, particularly after the Erie Canal opened. Connecting the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean via the Hudson River, the canal – along with railroad expansions – made Niagara Falls a more accessible vacation destination for honeymooners.

Today, couples who want to experience the beauty of this natural wonder can hike or bike scenic trails at Niagara Falls State Park. You and your sweetheart can also watch a nightly illumination of the falls from a cozy blanket in the park, which is an especially colorful spectacle during Pride Month. Of course, there are plenty of guided tours in Niagara Falls , including the iconic Maid of the Mist (where Pam and Jim said their vows).

The New York side of Niagara Falls is home to a large wine region, with the Niagara Wine Trail offering more than a dozen wineries. For romantic accommodations, look to The Giacomo in the heart of downtown. Built in 1929 as the United Office Building, The Giacomo is now a luxury boutique hotel with architecture that blends art deco and Mayan Revival styles. In-room amenities include a nightly cookie delivery and panoramic views; select rooms have whirlpool baths and fireplaces. Duos can grab cocktails at the Giacomo Lounge before taking advantage of the "Sweetheart Package," complete with a bottle of Champagne, souvenir glasses, chocolate truffles and a rose petal display.

While the Hamptons remains an elite vacation spot on Long Island, the North Fork has been giving that resort destination a run for its money – especially in recent years. Thanks to an ideal terroir for growing grapes, Long Island has an established wine scene, with most of the vineyards and wineries located on the North Fork.

25 Best Vacation Spots for Couples

Planning a romantic getaway? Here are the best couples' vacation spots around the world to visit with your special someone.

Claudia Fisher is a digital editorial director on the Commerce News & Deals team at Dotdash Meredith. She's been writing, editing, and strategizing for women's lifestyle publications in NYC for nearly a decade, with a special interest in beauty and style.

Elizabeth Rhodes is a special projects editor at Travel + Leisure , covering everything from luxury hotels to theme parks to must-pack travel products. Originally from South Carolina, Elizabeth moved to New York City from London, where she started her career as a travel blogger and writer.

One of the best parts of being in a relationship is having a built-in travel buddy — and enjoying uninterrupted one-on-one time as you visit new places together. A trip with your significant other, whether domestic or international, almost always guarantees you'll learn something new about one another — perhaps your girlfriend gets a rush from cliff diving, or your boyfriend can make friends with anyone despite only being able to say one phrase in the local language.

When you're deciding where you want to go, consider which components of a romantic getaway matter most to you. Are you up for sightseeing and doing outdoorsy activities together or do you lean more toward enjoying quiet moments in intimate settings with a view?

For instance, couples looking for a chance to fully unwind might opt for a beach vacation or spa weekend in a beautiful destination, while those searching for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure may want to book an African safari. Foodie couples might want to eat their way through Paris's fine restaurants, while more active travelers may prefer to hit the slopes or go snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef.

Whatever your travel style, here are 25 of the best vacation spots for couples.

Bali, Indonesia

Daniel Gorostieta/Travel + Leisure

If your version of romance is hiking through monkey forests and rolling rice paddies — or dancing to DJ sets and light shows until the wee hours of the morning — head to Bali, a beautiful Indonesian isle known for its vibrant nightlife scene. Stroll hand-in-hand on white-sanded shores in the southern part of the island or by the volcanic black sand beaches of its northern and eastern coasts. In addition to historic temples and shrines, Bali is also home to heaps of high-end resorts, yoga classes, spas, and Australian-influenced cafes worth checking out during your trip.

Santorini, Greece

Visiting Santorini is like traveling to a cloud-like oasis that envelops you in an ethereal fantasy. In other words, there's no surprise as to why it's a popular choice among newlyweds looking for a picture-perfect honeymoon destination . The romance of the island pretty much sells itself; wandering the hilly, weathered streets, you'll be surrounded by bright white walls and blue roofs, while in the evenings, you'll have front-row seats to incredible sunsets. Once the sun is down, the island really lights up, with its houses, churches, and restaurants glowing like stars.

Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

Aside from traveling to Tanzania to hike Mount Kilimanjaro, many make the trip to see the country's incredible wildlife conservation sites and national parks. Going on a safari allows you and your significant other to share some unique firsts: the first time you see a lion, the first time you drive across the African plains, dotted with baobab trees, or the first time you meet someone from the local Indigenous community, to name a few.

You'll want to visit Ngorongoro Crater , the world's largest inactive and intact volcanic caldera. Its bowl-like shape makes a natural border for the animals, boosting the chances safari goers will be able to spot all of the Big Five — lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo — during a tour. Serengeti National Park is another popular safari destination because of the area's mass seasonal migrations of wildebeest and zebra, its large lion population, and the sheer diversity of habitats and animals you'll find here.

Tulum, Mexico

Two core pillars of many romantic vacations are relaxing in intimate settings and enjoying exciting experiences, and Tulum has plenty of chances for you to do both. Rotate between lounging out on tropical beaches, snorkeling at nearby Xel-Ha Park , swimming in a natural sinkhole (or cenote), and touring ancient Mayan ruins, many of which are still intact. After a perfect day in Tulum , packed with leisure, adventure, or both, the cherry on top will be grabbing a drink at Gitano and relishing in its funky jungle atmosphere.

Whistler, Canada

A great way to bond as a couple is by getting active, and skiing on Whistler and Blackcomb mountains is great for both veteran and beginner skiers alike. Take on the mountains, offering numerous trails of varying intensity, enjoy an overhead view of the snow-capped trees from sprawling gondolas, break for lunch at the mid-mountain lodge, and top off your day with an après ski special at one of the slope-side bars. If one day of skiing leaves you with wobbly legs and your fill of downhill action, there's a lot more going on at the base of the peaks. Whistler Village is a lively, pedestrian-only hub of bars, shops, and restaurants. The little winter wonderland is as charming as the inside of a snow globe, and what's better for a romantic getaway than that?

Cappadocia, Turkey

For a fairytale vacation, there's nothing more fitting than a landscape dotted with "fairy chimneys," the tall, thin cones topping the many rock sites of Cappadocia. Cave churches, underground cities, and homes carved into the rocks work to create a whimsical aura usually reserved for the fictional realm. Floating high above the rocky terrain in a brightly-designed hot air balloon , you'll feel like characters wandering the pages of a Dr. Seuss book (or like astronauts discovering a civilization on the moon). Either way, the otherworldly experience will have you recapturing your sense of childlike wonder and awe together.

Paris, France

Most clichés became clichés for a reason, and so is the case with Paris' romantic reputation. Looking at pictures of couples in the City of Light, you can practically see the cartoon hearts in their eyes as they embrace in front of the Eiffel Tower. Paris and romance go together like Valentine's Day and chocolate, anniversary dinners and candlelit bistros, marriage proposals and world-famous landmarks… all of which Paris is not-so-coincidentally known for having.

Hakone, Japan

While not as romanticized for cherry-blossomed strolls as its neighbor, Kyoto, Hakone is a worthy day trip from Tokyo, offering an intimate escape from city travel in the most relaxing way possible: hot springs resorts . Aside from relaxing in onsen (hot springs) at a traditional ryokan (Japanese inn), you can take advantage of the natural sites, like Lake Ashi and the volcano Mount Fuji , or tour the fire-engine red Hakone Shrine and open-air sculpture museum . The many transportation options , ranging from boats and cable cars to rolling train routes through the mountains, also seem like mini adventures, making yours all the more memorable.

Northern Norway

If you've ever considered stargazing a romantic experience, northern Norway really ups the ante with its naturally occuring cosmic activity. The region covers about one-third of the country and is considered one of the best places to see the northern lights in Norway . They usually make an appearance from autumn to mid-April, while from late April to mid-August, the sun is still visible late at night thanks to a natural phenomenon known as the " midnight sun ."

Feeling adventurous? Venture even farther north to Svalbard, the northernmost inhabited region of Europe, to experience 24-hour daylight between April and August. On the opposite end of the light spectrum, Svalbard's January and February months have "polar nights," when night lasts for around 24 hours, making the aurora borealis particularly visible.

If you do decide to take this kind of trip together, be warned: Looking up at the stars in your own backyard might not be quite as impressive anymore.

Porto, Portugal

Paula Galindo Valle / Travel + Leisure

Porto is a waterfront merchant city that seemingly transports visitors to an earlier time with its cobblestoned streets, baroque churches, and prevalence of port factories and family-owned businesses. Nearby in the Duoro Valley , you can visit vineyards where wine has been produced for more than 2,000 years, sample it, and participate in harvesting practices such as stomping on the grapes. It's the perfect part of Portugal to spend a day or two , if not longer. In a city infused with the culture of wine making and drinking, you and your significant other can get tipsy on the energy alone.

Amalfi Coast, Italy

Known for its natural and architectural beauty, Italy's Amalfi Coast is a prime choice for a romantic Mediterranean getaway. Travelers can bask in the natural scenery, hike through dreamy seaside villages with picturesque views, and visit famous sites such as the Grotta dello Smeraldo (the " Emerald Grotto "), as well as medieval churches, gardens, and museums. When you need some quiet time for just the two of you, there are a number of secluded hotels offering oceanfront views and luxurious amenities.

Buenos Aires, Argentina

In Argentina's bustling capital, you and your significant other will never run out of activities to try, with lots of live entertainment and a multitude of restaurants and bars. For a day-to-night date, La Boca is a vibrant neighborhood known for Tango dancing and El Caminito, a pedestrian walkway lined with houses and shops painted in bright primary colors — strolling through this vibrant neighborhood is one of our favorite things to do in Buenos Aires .

Whitsunday Islands, Australia

At the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, these 74 islands off the coast of Queensland, Australia, will have you sailing into uncharted relationship territory with unbelievable sites to discover together. Whitehaven Beach is one of the most popular white-sand beaches in the country — despite it being a tourist hotspot, you've got 4.3 miles to play with, making it easy to stretch out and find your own space.

In addition to enjoying blissful beach days, you can embark on some truly unforgettable and romantic excursions while visiting the islands, such as flying over Heart Reef in a helicopter, staying aboard a boat for a few days, or snorkeling at the legendary Great Barrier Reef.

South Caicos, Turks and Caicos

While Turks and Caicos is certainly not a new destination for romantic vacations, most visitors flock to Providenciales, the first major stopping point on the tropical archipelago.

Far less popular (and far more secluded) are the pristine beaches of South Caicos , just a short, scenic connecting flight away. If you're looking for something truly special — perhaps to celebrate an anniversary or another special occasion — Sailrock Resort is a luxury property nestled within natural brush along white-sand shores that lead into crystal-clear water. You'll experience the type of picturesque serenity you thought was only accessible to movie stars, yet there the two of you will be, sipping colorful cocktails together on a hammock at the beach's edge, with nothing but the open, beautiful horizon spanning ahead of you.

No matter how active you decide to be, Barbados is one of the best vacation spots for couples. The island's west coast is home to several high-end resorts with various offerings to make your Caribbean escape extra memorable. Arrange some classic island excursions, such as snorkeling, private boat trips with companies such as Seaduced , or visits to local attractions like the spectacular Hunte's Gardens and Rihanna's childhood home.

For a dose of local cuisine and culture, spend an upbeat Friday night at Oistins fish fry or sample some of the island's best rums on a tour of the Mount Gay rum distillery . You could also kick back and make relaxation your number-one priority by simply enjoying the beautiful beaches and temperate water. For a dinner you won't soon forget, head to The Cliff , which overlooks the water in a sultry, fire-adorned setting.

Dalmatian Coast, Croatia

For the ultimate romantic vacation, charter a boat and sail along the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia. If you start your journey in Dubrovnik and end up in Split, you'll get a comprehensive look at the country, from nautical exploration to sightseeing in both small seaport towns and big cities. With a stopover in a new place every night, the transit is part of the fun, rather than merely a means to get from point A to point B.

Travelers mainly book Turkish gulets (or small yachts) with separate quarters for the crew. Companies like Gulet Yacht Adriatic Holiday offer packages that include the services of a captain, chef, and one or two crew members to help curate not just your route, but everything else you do while you're on the water or shore. While the busy season is typically from June through early September, trips also set out in October and make a great option if you want a bit more quiet and privacy on the Adriatic Sea.

Cotswolds, England

Step into a romantic period piece on a vacation in the Cotswolds , located in the picturesque English countryside. The rolling hills and fields are dotted with the most quaint towns you'll ever find — popular stops include Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water, and Castle Combe. Grab a pint in a storied pub or tea in a cute cafe after spending the day exploring town after adorable town.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming

What could be more romantic than snuggling up by the fire after a day out in the snow? In Jackson Hole , you can enjoy winter sports in a stunning setting just a short distance from Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks . Plus, you can book a stay at a luxurious property like Amangani or the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole for a truly romantic trip — or the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort if you're both skiing or snowboarding enthusiasts.

Charleston, South Carolina

Charleston is often a favorite city among Travel + Leisure readers , and once you visit, it's easy to see why. Dine at delicious restaurants, take a sunset cruise in the harbor (where you may even spot a dolphin or two), and visit one of the nearby beaches. For romantic accommodations, we recommend staying outside the city on Kiawah Island, a little under an hour's drive away, where you'll find The Sanctuary , a beachfront luxury hotel.

Tucson, Scottsdale, and Sedona, Arizona

Looking for a mindful way to connect with your partner? Consider booking a trip to a wellness resort with a spa and classes to deepen your relationship. Miraval Arizona , located in Tucson, has an all-inclusive experience that throws in fitness classes, health and wellness lectures, and spa treatments, among other amenities. The Civana Wellness Resort & Spa near Scottsdale offers a serene escape amid the Sonoran Desert, while Sedona, with its red rocks and mysterious vortexes, is another popular destination among wellness travelers.

Kauai, Hawaii

Find paradise together on a trip to Kauai , Hawaii's Garden Isle. You'll find the best of both worlds, with a beautiful mix of lush jungle landscapes and beautiful beaches. Spend your days alternating between lounging or strolling hand-and-hand along the shores and exploring its natural wonders by foot, boat, or helicopter. Popular romantic resort options include Timbers Kauai in Lihue and Koʻa Kea Hotel & Resort in Poipu Beach.

Napa Valley, California

A romantic jaunt to California's wine country might be the perfect getaway for couples looking for delicious vino, beautiful views, and world-class dining. Spend a few days touring vineyards together and tasting different varietals while gazing out at the rolling, vine-covered hills. You can also opt for a ride on the Napa Valley Wine Train for more scenic views. Retire to one of the many beautiful luxury resorts in the area, such as the Auberge du Soleil , Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley , or Solage, Auberge Resorts Collection .

Sea Island, Georgia

This Georgia barrier island resort offers secluded, five-star luxury across several styles of accommodations, including The Cloister, located in the heart of the resort, as well as private cottages. In addition to the beach, guests can golf, lounge by the pools, enjoy spa treatments, and participate in other activities like tennis and horseback riding.

New York City

For some couples, taking on a major metropolis is just as romantic as spending a week by the beach. And when it comes to big city destinations in the United States, it's hard to beat New York City . Every night is date night on vacation, so go to dinner and take in a Broadway show, enjoy extended evening hours at some of the world's best museums, visit acclaimed restaurants and cocktail bars, and stroll through Central Park to soak in the sights and sounds of the Big Apple.

Newberry baseball travel team asks city commissioners to reconsider eviction for their facility

NEWBERRY, Fla. (WCJB) - Parents and children filled the Newberry City Hall asking the Newberry City commission to reconsider evicting the ‘Elite Pro-ball Academy’.

In 2012, Cedrick Bowers began coaching the baseball travel team in Newberry. The organization has more than 200 players from all ages. Years later, Bowers was notified by the city attorney, that the building was behind on property taxes.

“Its a lot of things that’s going back with that, my former partner that comes into this, this situation,” stated Bowers.

Bowers said the organization paid off $15,000 dollars this year, having a clean slate, but then they received unfortunate news. “Mr.Bowers got a letter from the city of Newberry saying that they wanted him to, they wanted to terminate their 20-year agreement and wanted him to leave the facility,” shared parent Christopher Luetgert.

Despite paying their dues, Luetgert, a parent who assisted bowers through litigation, said the city wants to break the contract. “The city manager assured me that nobody was getting evicted over back taxes and to give him two weeks to work it out,” shared Luetgert.

Many parents say a new development near the facility may the reason behind the eviction. “In my opinion they really just want to use that facility for other purposes and they don’t want to live up to their 20-year commitment,” stated Leutgert.

Bowers says over the weekend, the city attorney sent a letter, offering $50,000 for Elite Pro-ball Academy to vacate the building. However, Bowers refuses and said he is ready to fight for his team.

“I’m at a point that I’m willing to fight for the kids. I’m willing to fight for my ground, for everything that I worked hard for to get all these kids to believe in me,” stated Bowers

He and several parents hope the city reconsiders their decision. At this meeting no action was taken.
