When it comes to a romantic getaway, most couples will head straight to some of the world’s most luxurious resorts, such as those in the Caribbean. But for couples who want to visit something new, here are some unique destinations you may wish to see instead. Some of these places may be familiar to you, but they offer unique experiences that you may not have tried yet.
So, here are unique destinations that can help rekindle the romance.
Unique Romantic Getaways
Italy
Italy is not a unique destination for a honeymoon. Home to many beautiful cities that exude a romantic vibe, it’s one of the world’s most popular destinations to celebrate romance. But instead of the usual romantic stroll in Rome or gondola ride in Venice, why don’t you try something unique on your next visit?
Forget about the more popular Italian islands. Instead, visit the mysterious island of Stromboli off the coast of Sicily. The island is unique because it has an active volcano and is surrounded by crystal clear waters where active couples can scuba dive and snorkel. It’s a welcome change from the more popular islands that are often too crowded.
Your romantic getaway to Italy won’t be complete without indulging in delicious foods. But instead of the usual foodie destinations like Naples and Bologna, why don’t you head to Perugia? If you and your partner are chocolate lovers, this place is your paradise. This is where the Italian chocolate kisses known as baci originated. These truffle-style chocolates are topped with hazelnut, and they don’t only look cute, but they are also absolutely delicious!
Kauai
When going to Hawaii for a romantic getaway, most couples would choose Oahu or Maui. But if you want to visit something unique, Kauai is highly recommended. Also called the “Garden Isle”, the island is home to lush tropical rainforest, expansive beaches, dramatic sea cliffs, and scenic hiking trails. It offers endless amounts of unspoiled beauty and fun activities that can make for a truly unique romantic getaway.
One of the most incredible adventures couples can do on their romantic getaway in Kauai is hiking the Na Pali Coast. At about 11 miles long, the Kalalau Trail is highly recommended for couples who love taking up long hikes. It’s a bit gruelling, but you’ll forget about the difficulties once you catch a glimpse of the stunning sea cliffs off Napali Coast.
For couples who are not fond of hiking, another unique way to admire the incredible beauty of the Na Pali is to go for a helicopter tour. The tour will also take you to Manawaiopuna, known as the “Jurassic Park, ” before reaching the stunning Waimea Canyon. At the end of your adventure, relax in one of the romantic luxury villas in Kauai, overlooking the island’s breathtaking views!
The Maldives
It’s no secret that the Maldives is a popular destination for a honeymoon. Home to the world’s most luxurious resorts, the Maldives are a paradise for couples looking to relax on their romantic getaway.
If you’re planning to visit the Maldives, make your getaway even more romantic by trying something unique. One of these is to dine at an underwater restaurant. The Maldives is home to the Ithaa Undersea Restaurant, an underwater restaurant surrounded by glass walls and the first of its kind. Located at the Conrad Maldives resort, the restaurant is set 16 ft below sea level, offering diners an incredible 180-degree view of the colourful marine life of the Maldivian waters as they indulge in delicious meals.
Another unique thing you can do on your romantic getaway to the Maldives is to explore the local villages. Many resorts offer guests a chance to go on a day trip to the neighbouring islands where you can catch a glimpse of the local daily life. One of the villages you can visit is the Dhigurah, a beautiful and clean island with stunning white-sand beaches. Its main streets are lined with souvenir shops, cafes, and restaurants.
The Lake District
The Lake District would be an ideal destination for a romantic getaway in the UK. Away from the chaos of the big city, couples can enjoy a relaxing break in the Lake District while surrounded by stunning natural landscapes. The Lake District’s UNESCO-protected mountain and lake scenery feel like a million miles away, yet it’s only a 3-hour train ride from London.
If you are looking for a stress-free and laidback romantic getaway, consider glamping in the Lake District National Park. Glamping means sleeping in a glamorous tent equipped with luxury amenities, such as toilets and showers. The Damson View Glamping is one of those places where couples can sleep in a Lake District luxury glamping pod surrounded by spectacular scenery within the scenic Lyth Valley. The glamping pods come with a comfy bed, a bathroom with toiletries and towels, a kitchenette, and a dining table. There’s also a fire pit outdoors, complete with seating, and where you can soak up the stunning views of nature.
While you will probably be spending most of your time in your glamping tent, couples can also indulge in fun activities when glamping in the Lake District. The glamping site is close to a lake where you can enjoy boating, paddling, and other water activities. You can also go hiking or mountain biking on the nearby trails.
The Seychelles
Seychelles is a wonderful destination for a romantic escape. Its crystal-clear turquoise waters and powdery white sands make it one of the most romantic places in the world. Located off the coast of East Africa, Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands and a great destination to visit with the love of your life.
While Seychelles is a popular destination for a beach vacation, it has more to offer than its stunning beaches. A major part of the island is a protected nature area and home to rare animal species, including the giant Aldabra tortoises. Diving is a popular activity here, where you get to explore the amazing underwater world of colourful fishes, crustaceans, and sea turtles.
You’ll find a wide range of beaches in Seychelles. All are breathtakingly beautiful. Forty-one of these are made of granite, while the other seventy are made of corals. The most popular beach in Seychelles is Anse Source d’Argent, on the island of La Digue. It’s repeatedly named one of the world’s most beautiful beaches and has been a backdrop for various films.
