Whether you have been with your partner for a few months or many years, quality time together is an important part of a relationship. While date nights are fantastic ways to bond, every now and then you need something a little more extravagant, like a romantic vacation. If you want to sweep your significant other off his or her feet, surprise them with quality time together at one of these six romantic destinations.
1. Cruise
A cruise is an amazing way to visit not one but multiple destinations. Going on a transatlantic cruise gives you the opportunity to take in a number of beautiful locations, from tropical areas such as Bermuda and Florida to culturally-rich towns, including Barcelona and Rome.
Plus, unlike driving or flying to your destination, some of the perks of a cruise happen during your travels to the ports. Entertainment, drinks and world-class food are all part of the experience of being on a cruise ship.
2. Paris, France
Nothing says “romantic” quite like a kiss at the famous Eiffel Tower. After all, how can a place nicknamed “The City of Love” not be a great destination for a couple?
Besides the Eiffel Tower, the city has many other famous landmarks to visit, including Notre Dame, The Louvre Museum, Les Invalides and Le Mur Des Je t’aime, or the Wall of Love. “I love you” is written in 252 languages on the wall.
3. Traverse City, Michigan
If spending time by the water is your idea of romance, take your significant other to Traverse City, Michigan. Just be sure to go in the summer when the water is warmer.
This town has many beaches and lakes where you can spend the day frolicking in the water or laying out to catch rays. Want to visit a place ranked as the most beautiful place in the United States? Head over to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Finish the day with dinner at one of the town’s nationally recognized eateries.
4. Napa Valley, CA
Whether you enjoy a glass of red, white or sparkling wine, the world-famous Napa Valley wineries have something for every person’s taste. If you struggle to part with your precious pooch, simply bring it along to a dog-friendly winery.
If you want an intimate experience, book a private wine tasting. If you or your partner is a foodie, try a food and wine tasting. This can be as simple as some hors d’oeuvres or a multi-course meal. Burn off the calories with a bike ride for two and view the beautiful sites Napa has to offer.
5. Savannah, Georgia
There is something to delight every taste in this southern city. The city boasts 24 town squares with beautiful parks to picnic at. The city offers numerous architectural delights, as well as robust cocktail and restaurant options. Whether you prefer the great outdoors or cozying up inside, there is something for everyone in this town.
6. Phoenix, Arizona
Maybe you and your partner love working up a sweat. Pack your bags for a hike up one of Phoenix’s gorgeous mountains. Perhaps you bond best on the dance floor. Grab your dancing shoes and head out to one of the amazing nightclubs.
If your idea of romance is relaxing together, cozy up at the Royal Palms Resort & Spa. Not only is there a beautiful view at the base of Camelback Mountain but you also have a world of amenities at your fingertips. Snuggle up by your personal fireplace in one of the Spanish Colonial style rooms. Enjoy fresh appetizers, meals and craft cocktails at the on-site Mix Up Bar.
To experience ultimate relaxation, book a couple’s treatment at the Alvadora Spa. The best part is the spa is located within the hotel, so you do not have to leave the resort.
To completely focus on one another, sometimes you and your partner simply need to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A trip to one of these romantic destinations provides loads of activities for you and your love to grow closer together.
