Let’s start with some place close to home. In the United States, no tourist area rivals Napa Valley in romance. There is the Vineyard ambiance of Tuscany without the long flight. The stunning scenery of rolling vineyards, wine caverns and grand estates, coupled with award-winning wine, make for an intimate getaway. There are great boutigue bed and breakfasts and hotels that rival any place in Europe. And, the romantic Wine Train packages are not to be missed. Don’t forget that it has close proximity to San Francisco and Yosemite which are also known as great retreats for romance.

A trip to Belize is sure to provide the right amounts of exhilarating adventure and pure relaxation for any couple looking to make lasting memories. This romantic destination offers a range of options for daytime fun for two, including ziplining, kayaking, and hiking through parks and rain forests that are home to hundreds of unique animal species. The country, located on Central America’s eastern coast just south of Quintana Roo, Mexico, offers a nearby paradise for North American travelers seeking a brand-new getaway.
Bora Bora, Tahiti
The French Polynesian island of Bora Bora, Tahiti has long been considered a top global destination for romance. It’s one of the world’s most beautiful beach settings for celebrating love, and is known as a safe, welcoming place for LGBTQ+ couples. Travelers love relaxing on the white sand beaches lined with coconut trees surrounding Bora Bora’s lagoon, home to tropical fish, corals, and manta rays – the perfect setting for scuba diving or snorkeling – and indulging in the luxury resorts and spas that dot the island with overwater bungalows and thatched-roof villas.
