Love is in the air today, and we have put together our top 3 most-romantic destinations! Whether you are looking for a romantic couples’ retreat, an adventure holiday, or the perfect long-weekend to pop the question…here’s why we think these three destinations have you covered!
Hawaii
Hawaii has long been known for its beautiful landscapes, stunning beaches, fabulous hotels, and wonderful culture; Hawaii is the perfect location for couples who want to enjoy a romantic holiday with a sprinkle of adventure! Hawaii consists of 4 main islands: Oahu, Maui, Big Island and Kauai. For couples looking to get off the grid and enjoy the natural beauty of Hawaii, we recommend visiting Kauai and Maui – these islands offer stunning landscapes, shimmering coastlines, and amazing activities from ATV adventures to snorkelling in the crater of an ancient, dormant volcano (Molokini)!
Oahu is perfect for those looking to enjoy city life in Honolulu coupled with magnificent natural landscapes such as Waikiki Beach and wonderful hikes like Diamond Head Crater. Hawaii’s Big Island is the largest of them all and shows guests a completely different landscape to the other islands; here you will find vast lava fields, erupting volcanos and magnificent black sand beaches.
Hawaii is a revered honeymoon holiday spot but it also makes for an epic romantic retreat for you and a loved one, where you can create lifelong memories. The Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort is one of the most beloved Hawaii hotels that is located directly on Waikiki beach and offers epic grandeur and its own private lagoon. Grand Wailea, A Waldorf Astoria Resort is another of the most romantic and luxurious hotels in Hawaii offering guests an amazing spa, multiple restaurants and 40 acres of lush landscape to enjoy.
There are so many wonderful hotels in Hawaii to choose from, and so many Hawaii Holiday options including Hawaii Island Hopping where you can visit and enjoy multiple Hawaiian Islands in one holiday.

Iceland
Iceland makes for the perfect romantic long-weekend away! Unlike many other European destinations known to inspire romance (such as Paris, Rome, Venice), Iceland provides an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Iceland is perfect for couples looking to really spend some quality time together, away from big cities, bright lights, and the distractions of life.
Iceland’s most famous attractions is of course the Blue Lagoon; a baby blue geothermal pool that perfectly contrasts the chilly Icelandic air. Take a dip in the Blue Lagoon and enjoy a romantic day of relaxation, mud masks and tranquillity. Better still, why not make your romantic Icelandic holiday extra special by staying at the luxurious The Retreat at Blue Lagoon and enjoy endless opportunities for romance including a meal at the Michelin-recommended restaurant, a subterranean spa, and rooms with incredible Blue Lagoon views!
Iceland also provides visitors with amazing views of the Northern Lights; as night falls, between October and March, Iceland’s sky comes alive with an incredible display of the Aurora Borealis. A night under the stars and Northern Lights makes for the most perfect opportunity to rekindle romance or indeed pop the ultimate question!
Iceland is full of wonders and mystery, and a holiday to this amazing island makes for the ultimate romantic getaway. For more information on Iceland and to speak to one of our Specialist Travel Advisors, why not visit our dedicated Iceland page.
