Paris, France

Known as the City of Love, Paris tops the list of romantic getaways for good reason. Take a sunset stroll hand-in-hand along the Seine River or get lost together in the narrow streets of Montmartre. Share a kiss at the top of the Eiffel Tower or on a bridge over the Seine with the city lights twinkling in the background. Enjoy a cosy cafe au lait and croissant at a sidewalk cafe, then browse elegant boutiques and art galleries. Cap off the day with a romantic dinner and champagne at a Michelin-starred restaurant. With its beauty, history, art, culture and cuisine, Paris sets the mood for romance.

Bali, Indonesia

With lush jungle, serene rice paddies, private pool villas and superb beaches, Bali is a tropical paradise tailor-made for couples. Laze away the days getting couples massages and soaking in your private plunge pool. Take long walks on nearly deserted black and white sand beaches, then watch the sunset while sipping cocktails cliffside. Explore local culture with visits to ancient temples, colourful markets and artisan villages. Enjoy daily fresh seafood, fruits and Indonesian specialities. The warm, caring Balinese people and the island’s sacred, spiritual vibe make it easy to focus on each other and your relationship.

Venice, Italy

From gondola rides along the winding canals to getting lost in the maze of narrow, romantic alleys, Venice is one of the world’s most unique and romantic cities. Glide past ornate palazzos and under charming bridges while your gondolier sings Italian love songs. Sip Prosecco and cicchetti at a waterfront cafe then stroll hand-in-hand through St. Mark’s Square. As the sun sets, listen to live music while dining on fresh seafood alongside the Grand Canal. Retire to your historic hotel room only reachable by boat. Venice is romantic, elegant, full of atmosphere and perfect for couples.

Santorini, Greece

With its whitewashed buildings clinging dramatically to cliffsides above sapphire waters, Santorini is undeniably romantic. Enjoy sunsets and candlelit dinners overlooking the caldera, take in the sensational views while soaking in your own private hot tub, then relax with couples massages and wine tasting. Explore the island’s charming villages, black sand beaches, wineries and archaeological sites together. Watch the sunset from Oia, one of Greece’s most photographed villages, then enjoy a romantic, locally sourced Greek meal at a cliffside restaurant. Santorini’s stunning scenery, laid-back vibe, and wealth of amenities for couples make it a Mediterranean dream.

Hawaii, USA

From sun-soaked beaches to lush jungles teeming with rainbows and waterfalls, Hawaii’s natural beauty sets the scene for romance. Relax in an overwater bungalow in Maui, sip tropical drinks on your own private stretch of sand in Kauai, watch the sun sink into the Pacific from a posh resort in Waikiki or enjoy a helicopter tour over Hawaii’s five major islands together. Spend your days snorkelling with sea turtles, hiking through volcanoes and waterfalls, and trying fun activities like surfing and stand-up paddleboarding as a couple. Hawaii’s year-round warm weather, stunning and diverse landscapes and welcoming spirit make it a top romantic destination.

The Maldives

Situated in the heart of the Indian Ocean, the Maldives features over 1000 coral islands with lush tropical vegetation, blinding white beaches and the most luxurious overwater bungalow resorts on earth. Relax in your glass-floored bungalow, steps from the turquoise lagoon. Book a private sandbank picnic just for the two of you and fall asleep under the stars. Relax with daily massages, scuba dive and snorkel to incredible coral reefs, and enjoy beachfront candlelit dinners of freshly caught seafood. This tranquil, beautiful island nation focuses entirely on luxury romance and ensures an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime romantic escape.

Tuscany, Italy

With its rolling hills dotted with vineyards, olive groves and charming villas, Tuscany epitomises Italian romance. Stroll hand-in-hand through mediaeval hilltop villages and lively regional markets. Enjoy long, leisurely lunches of local specialities like bistecca fiorentina and pizza margherita. Tour historic wineries, castles and museums together before retiring to your villa to relax by the pool and take in the views. Watching the sunset over the vineyards wearing your 80s leather jacket outfit with a glass of Tuscan red wine is the perfect way to end the day. Tuscany’s rich culture, cuisine and scenery provide an idyllic setting to focus on each other and strengthen your bond.
