When does a holiday stop being merely a getaway and start being a sublime experience which you will remember for the rest of your life? Quite often, romance is the ingredient which can make a trip truly unforgettable, and there are some travel options which are simply perfect for igniting the passion and affection within us.

In this article, we take a look at four of the most authentically romantic holidays to be enjoyed anywhere in the world:

1. A Croatian cruise

Croatia could be dubbed as one of Europe’s best-kept secrets. The country boasts over 1,000 miles of beautiful coastline and beaches; prime waters for a magnificent cruise for you and a loved one. If you are thinking overcrowded cruise ships, then think again, because there are many tour operators who offer much more intimate transport choices on small ships which can guide you gently around the calm waters of the Adriatic Sea.

You’ll stop at European cities packed with history and culture, such as Split and Dubrovnik, as well as more serene spots along the Dalmatian coast. This is the perfect opportunity to discover amazing new territories together.

2. An Indian wedding

Attending an Indian wedding is truly a once in a lifetime experience – it is a festival centred around the commitment and love of the happy couple, including a fantastic display of traditional Indian clothing. Thanks to a unique tour, you can now attend a real Indian wedding experiencing all the ceremonies throughout the day, including; the Baraat Swaagat, which is the welcoming; Havan, which is the lighting of the sacred fire; the Saptapadi, which is seven steps together; and the Gath Bandhan, which is the tying of the Nuptial Knot.

3. A Koh Samui hideaway

Koh Samui is one of the jewels in the crown of the Gulf of Thailand; the calm, tranquil and tropical waters to the South East of the country. Whether you are planning a honeymoon, or a special trip with a loved one, this island offers some simply mesmerising resorts which place you in paradise.

How about the Four Seasons? This resort is set in steep hills overlooking the coastline, offering views over the water to neighbouring Koh Phangan, or back to the mainland. Then there is the Conrad, with its exclusive luxury holiday villas built into the cliffside on the coast. Koh Samui is Asia’s answer to the islands of the Caribbean.

4. A treehouse in Tulum

Tulum is a town on the Caribbean coastline of Mexico, and situated there are the Azulik luxury treehouse villas. For an opportunity to reconnect with each other without the digital distractions we can often encounter in the western world, nobody does it quite like Azulik.

These villas are not deprived of comfort in any way, benefitting from superb interior design and ocean views, but are designed to allow couples to escape from the electronic vices which can become bad habits. The result? A natural environment for connecting as people.

We hope that’s given you some inspiration for a romantic adventure! Remember, choosing our location and activities carefully are essential to creating an environment for romance to blossom.
