Whether you add these dreamy getaways to your bucket list or immediate future, we have 15 destinations that are sure to light a spark and deepen your love, even when you return back to everyday life. Who’s ready to dream big? 

Santorini, Greece

We’re madly in love with Santorini, especially when we have romance on the mind. With its iconic whitewashed buildings, blue-domed churches, and breathtaking sunsets, it’s a picture-perfect destination. Imagine pouring wine from a carafe on a cliffside terrace while the Aegean Sea sparkles below. It’s magic in a bottle. 

Paris, France

Paris was made for lovers, wasn’t it? In the City of Love, all you have to do is stroll hand-in-hand along the Seine and steal a kiss or two atop the Eiffel Tower. As you’re sipping on some wine in a cafe or feeding each other small bites of a baguette, you’ll quickly find that romance abounds on every corner. 

Kyoto, Japan

For something a little more serene, head to the mountains of Kyoto. Book into a ryokan, or a traditional inn, for easy access to the onsens or hot springs. Healing abounds in this beautiful city and, when you’re ready to explore nature together, the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove will leave you both spellbound. 

Venice, Italy

Can you imagine anything more romantic than a private gondola ride through Venice’s charming canals? Together, you can lose yourself in the city’s labyrinth of cobblestone streets and hidden piazzas before you share a plate of spaghetti, à la Lady and the Tramp.
