Santorini, Greece
Santorini continuously ranks as one of the most popular honeymoon destinations. The Greek island offers incredible views and sunsets; beautiful, blue-domed white houses on the cliffside; and sights of the stunning blue Aegean Sea. Spend your time wandering through the quaint villages, wine tasting, visiting volcanoes and taking in the sunrises and sunsets on the beautiful beaches.
Venice, Italy
Venice allures travelers with its canals, architecture, history and art. There is nothing more romantic than sailing off into the sunset on a gondola or strolling hand-in-hand through the town and over romantic bridges.
The Maldives
Go off the grid this year with a romantic getaway to the Maldives. Enjoy crystal-clear waters and soft-sand beaches and treat yourself to an overwater bungalow for the ultimate private paradise getaway. Soak up the sun on your own private deck and take a secluded dip in the water right from your balcony.
Paris, France
As one of the most romantic cities in the world, Paris is a must-visit on Valentine’s Day. Couples can explore iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Pont Des Arts bridge, Notre Dame or stroll along the Seine River. Enjoy delicious French cuisine in chic cafés and restaurants.
Kauai, Hawai’i
Kauai, a picturesque destination in Hawai’i, offers couples endless sandy beaches, waterfalls and breathtaking scenery. The island is perfect for love birds looking to escape crowds and set out on a romantic adventure. Enjoy activities such as surfing, snorkeling or just relaxing on secluded beaches.
Cancún, Mexico
Enjoy some of the world’s most luxurious beaches, amazing food and pampering from the stunning resorts in Cancún. With multiple adults-only resorts, couples can enjoy lavish spas and treatments or head out for adventurous nature trips like exploring natural swimming pools and Mayan ruins.
Bali, Indonesia
Bali, Indonesia, is the perfect destination for an enchanted jungle getaway. Enjoy breathtaking vistas, magnificent volcanoes, waterfalls and mystical temples.
Dubrovnik, Croatia
Not many travelers consider Dubrovnik, Croatia, a romantic destination, but with its stunning medieval town, cobblestone streets and beautiful sea views, it offers a great setting for romance-seeking travelers.
Budapest Hungary
Located on the Danube River, travelers can enjoy amazing riverside views and romantic experiences during a trip to Budapest. Take a relaxing stroll along the river bank or indulge in some traditional Hungarian cuisine at a boat restaurant.
Fiji
The exotic tropical paradise of Fiji is known for its dreamy resorts, vibrant reefs and pristine beaches. Spend your time island hopping and maybe even finding a private beach to spend some alone time with your partner. Stay at Turtle Island, the adults-only resort which only hosts 14 couples at a time.
