Whether you are celebrating a special occasion such as your honeymoon or anniversary or just simply looking for a weekend getaway with your special someone, these are 5 of our favorite Romantic Getaways.
Northern Italy
From the winding canals of Venice to the Dolomites' white-domed peaks, Northern Italy is a magnet for lovers of nature, art, and literature. The city of Verona is even the alleged backdrop for Romeo and Juliet's tragic love story.
Besides museums and history galore in the renaissance capital of Florence, northern Italy offers a range of romantic day trips for couples, ranging from vintage car rentals to vineyard tours and cooking courses.
For those seeking a luxury getaway, many high-end hotels and resorts wind around Lake Como, which is easily accessible from the metropolitan city of Milan. Boasting alpine views in a tranquil lakeside environment, Lake Como provides visitors with the chance to kick back and live like the rich and famous (George Clooney even has property nearby).
Maldives
A list-topper for lovers of all ages, the Maldives is unique for its coral islands, which means scuba diving and snorkeling are possibilities for travelers. Many popular local dive sites take advantage of the coral's natural beauty, and some even offer the chance to swim with sharks.
Spas, hotels, and eco-friendly resorts abound in the Maldives, so there is no shortage of luxury treatment and accommodation. For a high-end getaway that feels removed from society, the Maldives is the perfect couples' retreat.
Iceland
What could be more romantic than watching the Northern Lights dance pink and green above you in the night sky? A land of geysers, glaciers, and other natural wonders, Iceland is the ideal vacation spot for an adventurous couple that can appreciate beauty and solitude.
With a rental car, you can make your way to any one of the numerous attractions on offer. Facilities throughout the country provide opportunities to swim in hot springs, which, aside from being incredibly soothing, are rumored to have magical healing powers. Several of the country's gushing waterfalls are also must-sees, including Dettifoss, Europe's largest waterfall when measured in pure water volume.
New Orleans, Louisiana
It’s always 5 o’clock somewhere, and that place is New Orleans. If you’re looking to celebrate while avoiding the dreaded jetlag brought on by an international trip, New Orleans presents the perfect option for a stateside weekend of fun.
Full of historic southern charm, New Orleans has more to brag about than just its nightlife. With rotating carousel bars, bead throwing, and shotgun houses, the city is quintessentially Southern and stays true to its heritage. Creole influences can be noted in the food, and a date night that involves Jambalaya or gumbo followed by a stroll through the French Quarter is a must.
And of course, you can’t pass up on Sunday morning coffee and beignets, a city staple and the perfect remedy after a busy weekend.
St. Lucia
You are sure to discover romance in this beautiful Caribbean island which features lush mountains and gorgeous views. There is plenty to enjoy on this small island. Even the more adventurous couples will find plenty of activities such as snorkeling, sailing, windsurfing and boating. You can zip line through lush rainforests and ride ATVs through the countryside. Those that want to relax can soak in the volcanic mud baths of Soufrière, take a sunset cruise or enjoy private beachside dining on the pristine beaches. The splendor of Saint Lucia will definitely inspire romance.
