Romantic experiences for every couple

02 February 2026

From handpicked accommodation to exclusive activities, your Travel Counsellor can elevate your romantic getaway to something that neither of you will ever forget – one filled with curated moments that resonate with your unique love story. The sky is your limit when it comes to the amazing holidays we can put together for you, so let the following suggestions inspire you.

For the romantics

For a truly magical romantic experience, chase the Northern Lights in destinations like Lapland or Iceland, where the sky comes alive with swirling colours of green, purple, and pink. A stay at Villa Spirit in Levi can include a night in a glass igloo, where you can drift off to sleep in a luxurious bed while admiring the starry Arctic sky and, hopefully, the Aurora Borealis. Days can be spent exploring snow-covered landscapes, husky sledding, or soaking in geothermal hot springs, while evenings are reserved for quiet moments together, sipping hot drinks and gazing at the night sky.

For the private island dreamers

If you long for total privacy and uninterrupted seclusion, a stay on a private island offers an unparalleled romantic escape. You'll have your own stretch of pristine beach, complete with turquoise waters perfect for swimming, hidden coves to explore, and a hammock where you can unwind together for hours. While some of the most enchanting private islands are found in the Maldives, there are incredible options in Indonesia, Kenya (Chale Island Resort), and Fiji’s breathtaking Yasawa Islands, each offering its own unique blend of luxury, natural beauty, and intimate seclusion.

For the wellness enthusiasts

Go beyond traditional spa treatments with a full wellness and reconnection ritual for two, start with a couples’ spa journey that could include a private hammam or onsen session, followed by side-by-side massages and time unwinding in a relaxation suite with sweeping views. Kamalaya Wellness Sanctuary in Koh Samui or Amanemu in Japan are perfect for a well-rounded wellness retreat. This can be paired with a guided wellness activity tailored just for you, such as sunrise yoga, breathwork, beachside meditation, or forest bathing with a specialist guide, before rounding off the day with a thoughtfully planned digital-detox evening.

For the foodie lovers

For lovers of food, wine, and gentle landscapes, Europe’s countryside offers romance in every vineyard and village lane. In Tuscany and Chianti, wander rolling vineyards hand in hand, enjoy wine tastings at family-run estates, and savour farm-to-table Italian cuisine, while Santorini and the wider Greek Islands promise stunning sea views, white-washed villages, and intimate sunset dinners that have made them iconic romantic favourites. Meanwhile, Provence in France will enchant you with fragrant lavender fields, quaint local markets, and charming boutique accommodation, creating the perfect backdrop for slow, unhurried days spent together.

For the adventurer seekers

Imagine sharing a game drive at dawn, spotting lions and elephants together against a dramatic sunrise - safaris aren’t just about wildlife, they’re about shared discovery. You can enjoy early-morning or sunset drives with a private guide, seeking out the Big Five in their natural habitat before returning to camp for a bush dinner beneath a brilliant canopy of stars, complete with lanterns and candlelight. In iconic destinations such as the Serengeti or Maasai Mara, drifting over the plains in a hot air balloon at sunrise adds an unforgettable sense of wonder, while luxury tented camps and lodges provide the perfect romantic retreat.

Unmissable Route 66 stop-offs and experiences

30 April 2026

Few journeys capture the spirit of the open road quite like Route 66. Stretching nearly 2,500 miles from Chicago to Los Angeles, this legendary highway has long been a symbol of adventure, nostalgia, and classic Americana. Nicknamed the ‘Mother Road’, Route 66 passes through eight states and countless small towns, desert landscapes, and neon-lit roadside attractions. While the journey itself is part of the magic, it’s the memorable stop-offs along the way that truly bring this iconic road trip to life. From retro diners to truly unique natural wonders, these are some of the experiences that shouldn’t be missed.

See another side of Africa beyond the safari parks

27 April 2026

Africa is often introduced through safari, but that’s only one part of a much wider experience. Across the continent, you’ll find coastlines, cities, mountains, and food scenes that feel completely different from one another. South Africa is a good example of this variety, where you can move from beaches to vineyards to historic sites within a relatively short distance. It’s a destination that works just as well for a multi-stop trip as it does for a single base with day trips.
