Romantic Getaways

Love on the Map: Your Insider Guide to Unforgettable Romantic Getaways

What Makes a Getaway Truly Romantic?

(Spoiler: It's way more than just rose petals on the bed!)

Let's face it, life gets busy. Between work, chores, and endless scrolling, carving out proper time for each other can feel like a mission. That’s where the magic of a romantic getaway comes in. It’s not just a holiday; it’s a deliberate escape hatch. It's about hitting pause on the everyday chaos and hitting play on connection, adventure, and maybe just holding hands without checking your phone.


I’m a firm believer that romance isn't about grand, expensive gestures (though they don't hurt!). It's about shared experiences. It’s the giggle when you get lost down a beautiful cobbled street, the quiet moment watching a sunset together, the thrill of trying a totally new food side-by-side. A romantic getaway is your chance to rediscover each other, away from the usual distractions, in a setting that makes your hearts beat just a little bit faster.

Why Pressing 'Pause' Together is Pure Magic

It's not just a trip; it's an investment in your 'us' time.


There's something incredibly special about packing your bags and heading off, just the two of you. It’s a chance to shake off the routine, put yourselves first, and remember why you fell for each other in the first place. It’s like hitting a giant reset button for your relationship, and here's why these escapes are so vital.

Reconnection Central: It's Just You Two

Without the daily grind demanding your attention, you actually have time to talk. Properly talk. You can have those long, meandering conversations you never seem to finish at home, laugh without interruption, and just be together. It's amazing how a change of scenery can strip away the stress and bring you back to basics.

Shared Adventures = Shared Memories

Trying something new together is relationship gold. Whether it’s navigating a foreign metro system, attempting to order dinner in another language, or tackling a scenic hike, these shared challenges and discoveries create brilliant inside jokes and stories you’ll be telling for years. It’s teamwork, but way more fun!

The 'Spark' Gets a Serious Boost

Let's be honest, a beautiful hotel room, a candlelit dinner, or watching a sunrise over a new city is romantic! Being away from the familiar allows you to see each other in a different light, focus purely on each other, and bring back some of that early-days excitement. It’s like a spa day for your relationship.

My Little Black Book of Places Guaranteed to Make You Swoon

Romance can be found anywhere, but some places just have that extra sprinkle of magic dust. Here are three spots, near and far, that I think are perfect for lovebirds.

Bruges, Belgium: Like Stepping into a Chocolate Box

Forget grand scale; Bruges is all about intimate charm. This tiny medieval city is pure fairytale—think winding canals, cobbled lanes perfect for hand-in-hand strolls, and cosy little pubs tucked away. My tip? Skip the main tourist boat tours and hire a tiny private one, or just wander away from the Markt square and get utterly lost in the quiet, dreamy backstreets. And yes, you must share some ridiculously good Belgian chocolate.

Paris, France: The Classic, Done Right

Okay, it's a cliché for a reason—Paris is undeniably romantic. But avoid the scrum at the Eiffel Tower! My insider advice? Head to the Musée Rodin. Explore the beautiful sculpture garden (home to 'The Kiss'!), then find a quiet bench. Afterwards, wander through the charming streets of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, find a tiny bistro, share a bottle of wine, and just people-watch. That's the real romance of Paris.

Ubud, Bali: Spiritual Sparks in the Jungle

For a different kind of romance, Ubud offers a blend of natural beauty and spiritual connection. Think private villas with plunge pools overlooking lush rice paddies, couples' massages in serene spas, and quiet walks through monkey-filled forests. My top romantic tip? Take a private Balinese cooking class together. Learning to create those fragrant dishes side-by-side is a beautiful, bonding experience (and delicious!).

My Top 6 Secrets for the Perfect Romantic Escape

01

Plan it Together

Don't just spring a surprise (unless you know they'd love it). The fun starts with the planning! Dream up ideas, look at pictures, and decide on the vibe together. That shared anticipation is part of the magic.

02

Ditch the Itinerary (Mostly!)

Yes, maybe book that one special restaurant or tour. But leave plenty of room for spontaneity! Some of the most romantic moments happen when you just stumble upon something wonderful—a hidden garden, a live band playing in a square, a perfect spot for sunset.

03

Pack a Little 'Surprise'

It doesn't have to be big or expensive. Maybe their favourite snack for the journey, a small, thoughtful gift waiting in the room, or having booked a couples' massage without telling them. Those little thoughtful touches scream "I love you" louder than any grand gesture.

04

Go 'Screen-Free' (Even for an Hour)

Make a pact. Maybe it's during dinner, maybe it's for the first hour of the morning. Put the phones away. Properly away. Be present with each other. Look at each other, not your notifications. It makes a HUGE difference.

05

Find Your 'Secret Spot'

Every couple needs their own little place. Actively look for it on your trip. Maybe it's a specific bench in a park, a tiny bar down a side street, or a viewpoint you discovered. Claim it as 'yours'. It becomes a lovely shared memory.

06

Do Something Slightly Out of Your Comfort Zone

Romance loves a little bit of thrill! Maybe it's trying that weird-looking local dish, taking a dance class, or even just hiring bikes if you haven't ridden in years. Shared vulnerability and laughter are incredibly bonding.

A romantic getaway is more than just ticking a box. It’s a chance to celebrate your connection, create new inside jokes, and fall in love all over again—with each other, and with a new corner of the world. It’s about remembering that the greatest adventure is the one you share. So, start dreaming, start planning, and get ready for the magic.
