3 Romantic Getaways for Couples
Lockdown has brought about a lot of changes for many people. While we are spending more time at home than ever before, mental health is finally more talked about, we are acknowledging our habits and desired work and life balance, and ultimately, we are spending more time day-to-day with those who we live with which can be as wonderful as it is challenging. This past year has put a strain on many couples, especially parents, as there aren’t those outlets for individual activities outside of the home and when there are kids involved, partners can only do their best to at-home school their children, work, try to find time for themselves, and also dedicate time to their romantic relationships.
Ultimately, a nice couple’s getaway without the children is just what anyone wants right now.
Here are 3 locations that make for a perfect romantic getaway:
- Cornwall
Cornwall is a rather underrated destination for a romantic getaway. But with its scenic beauty, incredible sunsets and coastal villages, there is plenty to see and do here so that you can each relax and also have a rejuvenating trip. Polperro is a classic coastal village that looks like it hasn’t aged a day and it is a must to check out, as well as some of the most popular romantic places to propose or spend time with a loved one such as: St. Michael’s Mount to the River Fowey, Tintagel Castle, and Lanhydrock House.
- Blue Lagoon
With so much daylight in Iceland and the midnight sun as the backdrop for a romantic weekend, Blue Lagoon is a perfect destination if you want to be in nature and simply relax. For your time at the Blue Lagoon with your partner, consider visiting other parts of the area besides the spa entrance and the bar area, as these two areas draw a number of people. There are mini lagoons off the main one where you can have a bit more privacy and space. For your trip here, stay at the Retreat Hotel at Blue Lagoon for the ultimate experience.
- Tuscany
Tuscany is a classic destination for a romantic getaway, and for good reason. You can find yourself a spot tucked away in the countryside, surrounded by wine country, nature, and beautiful architecture. You can eat and drink your way through Tuscany, spending time focused on one another and enjoying the natural beauty of Tuscany. Not to mention, Italian culture is very sociable and friendly, and especially after so much time at home, this sounds like great energy to be around. Bonus if you can rent a car while you are here so you can pop around the region and stop off at any quaint villages that you’d like to along the way, such as Montepulciano and Montalcino.
Do you have anything planned with your partners once travels are allowed? Even if you don’t have a specific time where you know you can go away together, it can also be a bonding experience to simply brainstorm where you’d like to go and what you’d like to do and see while you’re there. It can take you away together, even from the comfort of your home.
