10 most romantic places in the world to spend quality time with your love this weekend!

One of my life’s goals is to travel around the world, exploring new cultures, lifestyle, beauty, peace and serenity with the one I love by my side to share the sweet memories with.

Seeing new places, and having new experiences together in entirely different sceneries is an incredibly powerful way to bond and grow more in strength, knowledge, and love. Plus, with all the work and busy schedules, who doesn’t deserve a little time out and a little more adventure.

What qualifies as a romantic destination is a little different for every couple, simply because people are different. We all have different choices, and different things that appeal to us. People who are in love can make just about any place very romantic. But really, anything that encourages you to take in the wonder and beauty that surrounds us and, in turn, makes us appreciate each other more, counts.

So! I have put together 10 most romantic places you and your partner should go to, and celebrate your love this weekend. These places wouldn’t be the same if you were to visit them without someone you care about by your side. Plus, who says your weekend has to end in two days?? 😋

If you’re looking for the ultimate tropical location, the Ladera Hotel on St. Lucia sets the perfect scene. This adults-only resort located atop a volcanic cliff, offers rooms with four-poster beds and private plunge pools with jaw-dropping views of the Caribbean and the Piton Mountains that rise nearly 3,000 feet from the water. The glorious fiery sunsets, secluded stretches of idyllic sands and turquoise waters complete the dream setting, as well as offering the opportunity for private horseback rides, catamaran cruises and delectable candlelit dinners. Imagine time out and alone with bae, no TVs, no phones… just the sound of tree frogs and birds! The perfect place to bond. Their Private plunge pools make it near-impossible to ever leave, and the property has an on-staff “romance concierge” to schedule aphrodisiac cocktail-concocting classes and “massage your mate” spa treatments.

The Maldives is a paradise for snorkeling and diving, and the resort has its own fully equipped PADI diving school plus a variety of water sports. This place tops the list of must-do destinations for those seeking the aquatic paradise.

This is simply a sanctuary hidden from the world.

Oberoi Udaivilas, Udaipur, India

In a city fabled for its palaces, the Oberoi Udaivilas can take its place with pride. With views over Lake Pichola to the spectacular City Palace, the hotel itself resembles a grand palace. Landscaped gardens and shady courtyards, decorative fountains and reflection pools, cool marble, ornate carving, inlay work and detailed interiors create a marvellous ambience of days gone by.

The magic of this island is its exclusive location where a captivating view exists in every direction. All Bungalow Suite are housed in thatched roof bungalows, with custom-made beds, outdoor showers and all the requisite luxe amenities. There are no telephones or televisions, or guests under the age of 16 – the only distractions are the outdoors and each other.

If you haven’t the time to jet away to the South Pacific, a trip to Little Palm Island is your next best bet. Thatched-roof bungalows, outdoor showers, and wild key deer neighbors are highlights on this six-acre island, accessed by boat or seaplane. The champagne-included turn-down service at night is a nice touch, under butterfly-netted beds.

I just love the romance in this soft closure. Too beautiful! Just ‘enough’ for that ‘alone’ time with bae.

Mystique Hotel, Santorini, Greece

Santorini is famous as one of the most romantic islands in the world, and arguably the most enchanting of all the Greek Isles.

By staying at the luxury Mystique, set atop a cliff overlooking the Santorini caldera, you can watch the sun sink into the dazzling sea in total privacy from the 150-year-old wine cellar, while feasting on delectable eats like mussels and sea urchin salad paired with a crisp vinsanto wine. Afterwards, you can spend time together in your white-washed, cave-style suite with a secluded terrace, where more incredible views await.

Bora Bora, French Polynesia

For some quality alone time, rent a luxurious water gazebo in Bora Bora, where you can take in the gorgeous aqua water and snorkel with exotic marine life — just by setting one foot out of your door.

Bora Bora is a small South Pacific island northwest of Tahiti in French Polynesia. Surrounded by sand-fringed motus (islets) and a turquoise lagoon protected by a coral reef, it’s well known for its scuba diving. It’s also a popular luxury resort destination where some guest bungalows are perched over the water on stilts, and at the island’s center rises Mt. Otemanu, a 727m dormant volcano.

Intoxicating Bora Bora is the island of romance. In fact, it was named the No. 1 island for romance by Travel + Leisure readers because of its dramatic scenery, privacy and amenities. One of the most desirable locations for couples in love, you can stay in overwater bungalows that sit just above the turquoise lagoons, and if you want to go all out when it’s time for that proposal, you can opt for a special sailing tour just for two, around Mount Otemanu, on one of the most beautiful lagoons on the planet. Sip champagne as you watch the sun slowly sink below the horizon just before countless stars shine across the night’s sky.

Stunning!
