Relationships take work, and although the honeymoon phase might wear off after the first year or two, if you want to keep the romance alive, you need to work at it. It can be easy to find yourself or your partner feeling taken for granted, and while communication is always key to a successful relationship, being affectionate and showing tokens of your appreciation for each other is also important.
This is why scheduling time together for date nights is a good idea. But if you want to do something extra special, why not book a romantic getaway together somewhere new? Here are five suggestions that would make excellent trips for couples who want to spend some all-important alone time together. Hmmm, is that an oxymoron? Anyway…
Here are 5 ideas for the perfect romantic getaway.
Glamping
Stargazing together somewhere remote with a glass of sparkling wine certainly is romantic, and if you are both lovers of the outdoors, then a camping trip could be the perfect experience for you both. While renting a motorhome or pitching a tent can still be an enjoyable experience, why not add a touch of glamour to your trip away together?
Glamping is the ultimate upgrade, and it will give you an extra level of comfort to help inspire some romance.
Rent A Private Holiday Home
If you don’t like the idea of being stuck in a field somewhere, consider looking into renting a private holiday home for a long weekend or even a full week away together. This can provide you with all the necessary comforts you will need, and many homes offer additional amenities like hot tubs and swimming pools for a little extra luxury.
You can either enjoy a meal at a local restaurant or choose to cook together in the holiday home’s kitchen and have a candlelit dinner in private. To see some fantastic examples of the kind of properties you can rent, take a look at these luxury cottages in Cornwall from Cornish Gems.
A Vibrant City Break
Another option to explore is staying for a long weekend in a vibrant and inspiring city somewhere on the continent. As we’re sure you know, there are countless options to choose from!
Paris might be the most obvious one to visit for a romantic trip, but consider looking at Berlin, Rome, London, Edinburgh, Barcelona and even Verona and the wider Veneto region, the home of the world’s most romantic story, Romeo and Juliet. All are excellent destinations for romantic getaways, and there will be plenty of fun things to do together. This is the ideal choice for couples who love a night out on the town and visiting cultural hotspots.
Exotic Beach Holiday
If you’ve been feeling exhausted due to busy work schedules and other commitments, as well as the general state of the world, then you might both be yearning for a break that can allow you to truly relax. There is no better setting for this than a gorgeous beach with white sands and turquoise waters, so why not look into a few exotic beach destinations for your trip? It might be on the more extravagant side, but this time spent together to recharge and recapture the magic of your relationship will be worth every penny.
An Adventure Holiday
When taking a trip which promises adrenaline and adventure with your partner, a special type of bond is created and you’ll come out the other side with a deeper understanding of your companion. Moreover, working together to reach a goal or to get to a certain location can help to improve relationships and the ability to communicate with each other, so it’s a great choice for couples.
Just think of all the amazing memories that you’ll make. Jumping out of a plane, skiing down a mountain, ziplining over a jungle; these are the moments that you can tell your grandchildren about in years to come.
The Bottom Line
If you and your partner could use some quality time together, consider getting a change of scene and booking yourself a romantic trip, using these suggestions as inspiration.
