A romantic getaway: 8 destinations for couples

Choosing well as a couple

A dreamy setting, moments just for the two of you and a few experiences to share: here are the destinations travel specialists recommend most to couples, and what you can enjoy there together.

Santorini: the sunsets of Oia

Sunset over the caldera from Oia, a sailing cruise around the island, the clifftop trail from Fira to Oia, and a tasting of the island's wines facing the sea.

Amalfi Coast: Italy at its finest

The colourful houses of Positano, the hanging gardens of Ravello and their terrace above the sea, the Path of the Gods for a breathtaking hike, and a boat trip to Capri.

Maldives: an island just for you

A villa on stilts above the lagoon, snorkelling among rays and turtles, dinner with your feet in the sand and, in some hotels, a meal under the sea.

Bali: gentleness and spirituality

The terraced rice fields around Ubud, temples and waterfalls hidden in the jungle, a Balinese massage for two, and sunset at Uluwatu temple with the Kecak dance.

Marrakech: riads and desert

A night in a riad, a hammam for two, a stroll in the Majorelle garden, dinner on a terrace above the medina, a night in a tent in the Agafay desert and a sunrise hot-air balloon flight.

Kyoto: the Japan of temples

The thousands of red gates of Fushimi Inari, the Arashiyama bamboo grove, a tea ceremony, the lanes of Gion at nightfall, and a night in a ryokan with a traditional hot bath.

Mauritius: lagoons and landscapes

A catamaran day to Île aux Cerfs, the Seven Coloured Earths of Chamarel, the viewpoints of the Black River Gorges, and a sunset facing Le Morne.

Saint Lucia: the romantic Caribbean

The view of the Pitons, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, snorkelling at Anse Chastanet, the mud baths of the Soufrière sulphur springs and a sunset cruise along the coast.
