France

“I’ve been to Paris a few times. Best one was when I got engaged watching the sunset at Sacre-Coeur. The beautiful architecture and just the overall atmosphere ooze romance. And the locals sitting nearby clapped for us.“
JM (United States)

Paris is the City of Love as much as it is the City of Lights. From awe inspiring views looking up at the Eiffel Tower to strolling the Tuileries, the backdrop of all of Paris is passion. The city is full of iconic landmarks and charming bridges that create an atmosphere of enchantment and intimacy. The quaint cafes tucked away lend themselves as cozy hideaways nestled among world class museums like the Louvre, d’Orsay and Pompidou. Elegant architecture weaves its way through every corner of the city and seems to kindle romance no matter what arrondissements you decide to explore.

“Paris is the most romantic city I’ve ever visited. Maybe it’s the food or infinite art museums. My romance tip: Eat at a cafe on the Right Bank with view of the Eiffel Tower.”

Italy

“Our first date was by the Tivoli Fountain. The way the lights reflected and the music we could hear playing from a location we couldn’t figure out …it just felt magical. I knew then and there my now husband was special.”
CB (Italy)

Italy exudes romantic charm. It’s woven into the fabric of its culture, breathtaking landscapes and melodic language.

The passionate nature of the Italian people, their appreciation for art, architecture, and well-cooked meals, creates a positive atmosphere wherever you adventure.

Australia

“We celebrated our wedding in Australia. We started in Sydney and attended a concert at that stunning symphony hall. Then we went up the Gold Coast to the Great Barrier Reef and stayed at an amazing resort on Hamilton Island. We had a beautiful suite with stunning views and romantic dinners. We took a beautiful ship to the resort and returned on a water plane to the main airport, that was quite an experience.”
SR (Germany)

The Australian continent’s diversity stretches from sun-drenched beaches of the Gold Coast to the ideal stargazing in the remote swaths of the Outback. You can explore, hand-in-hand, ancient rainforests or dine and shop a stone’s throw from the Sydney Opera House. The combination of adventure, natural beauty, and a laid-back atmosphere makes Australia an incredibly romantic destination.

“Hutt Lagoon is pure magic. Sharing a quiet moment there with someone special and watching the colors change on the water is incredible. The way the pink water reflects the sky at sunset is one in a billion!”
MB (UAE)

Hawaii

“My girlfriend and I met through our local cycling club. Our first trip as a couple was to Maui where we rented bikes and rode up Haleakala. I know it’s geeky, but it’s us. And nothing tests a new relationship like riding up a 35 mile road from sea level to 3000 meters.”
IC (Ireland)

Hawaii, particularly Maui and Kauai, exude romance through breathtaking natural beauty. From sunset strolls along Maui’s beaches or sharing a kiss beneath a cascading waterfall on the Garden Island of Kauai. The islands offer a sense of seclusion and tranquility, perfect for couples seeking to escape the hustle and explore lush island countryside. The spirit of aloha, with its emphasis on love and connection, further enhances the romantic atmosphere, making Hawaii an idyllic destination for couples seeking to create unforgettable memories.

“I don’t recommend this to everyone unless they know what they’re doing. On our honeymoon, my husband and I hiked the Blue Hole on Kauai. It’s 6 miles of muddy and remote trails when the weather is good! But you sure learn a lot about each other on that trek.”

“We honeymooned at Iguazu. The falls are so majestic, it felt like the perfect place to start life together. Every time I see a picture, it takes me right back to those impressive views and those feelings I had.”

“When you’re inside The Hotel Marrakech it’s another world. The intricate tilework and well kept gardens are from another time. The ornate walls are gorgeous and shield you from the desert, city and outside world. We spent our honeymoon there. Pure romance.”
