ROMANTIC GETAWAYS
Ditch the Life Admin. Find the Romance.
It's time to trade the shared calendar and the weekly shop for shared sunsets and Champagne toasts. Welcome to the art of the romantic getaway.
Somewhere between discussing whose turn it is to take the bins out and debating what to have for dinner, it’s easy to forget you’re not just co-pilots in the mission of life, but a couple. The daily grind is the ultimate passion killer. That’s where a romantic getaway comes in. It’s your official permission slip to press pause on the real world, put the to-do lists away, and remember the two people who started this whole adventure in the first place.
This isn’t just a holiday. It's a circuit-breaker. It’s a chance to hold hands without having to reach for a wallet, have a conversation that doesn’t involve logistics, and see your other half in the flattering glow of a foreign sunset instead of the harsh light of a laptop screen. It’s about carving out time to reconnect, rediscover, and fall in love all over again.
The Official Excuse to Be Selfish (Together)
So, why is a dedicated couples holiday one of the best investments you can make? It’s simple, really. It’s about prioritising your relationship.
Swap the To-Do List for a 'Just Us' List
For a few precious days, your only responsibility is each other. There are no chores to divide, no errands to run, just a blissful blank slate waiting to be filled. Will you have a long, lazy brunch? Explore a hidden side street? Or simply do absolutely nothing at all? A romantic break is your chance to escape the endless cycle of tasks and replace it with a much more important agenda: having fun, just the two of you.
Your Love Story’s Next Chapter
A great trip becomes a part of your story. It’s the ‘remember that time we got lost in Rome?’ or the ‘remember that amazing little bar we found in Lisbon?’. These are the adventures that belong only to you. They are shared secrets and private jokes that add new, exciting chapters to your life together. It’s a chance to be the main characters in your own adventure movie, not just extras in the story of everyday life.
Pressing the 'Do Not Disturb' Button on the World
Perhaps the greatest luxury of all is uninterrupted time. It’s a long dinner where no one’s phone buzzes with a work email. It’s a morning with no alarm clock. It’s an afternoon where you can talk for hours without being interrupted. Holidays for couples are about creating a bubble for two, shutting out the noise and distractions of the world so you can actually hear each other, and yourselves, think.

Destination: Romance. Population: Two.
Ready to plot your escape? Here are three destinations guaranteed to make you feel like you’re in your very own rom-com.
Paris: Because Some Clichés are Clichés for a Reason
Oh, Paris. Yes, it’s a cliché, but it’s the best kind. There is simply no city on earth that does romance quite like it. It’s strolling arm-in-arm along the Seine at dusk, sharing a bottle of red wine in a cosy bistro, and getting lost in the charming lanes of Montmartre. It’s a city that practically commands you to slow down, look into each other’s eyes over a flaky croissant, and be hopelessly, wonderfully romantic. Don’t fight it.
The Amalfi Coast: For When Your Love Life Needs a Shot of La Dolce Vita
If your idea of romance involves jaw-dropping views and a dash of glamour, Italy's Amalfi Coast is calling. Picture yourselves sipping limoncello on a sun-drenched terrace in Positano, with pastel-coloured houses tumbling down the cliffside to the sparkling sea below. Charter a boat to the isle of Capri, share a perfect plate of pasta overlooking the water, and live out your glamorous Italian film fantasy. This is a feast for the senses, and for the heart.
Bali: Find Your Zen (and Each Other) in Paradise
For a long-haul escape that soothes the soul, Bali is unbeatable. This Indonesian island offers a more spiritual, serene kind of romance. Think private villas with your own infinity pool overlooking lush rice paddies, incredible couples’ spa treatments, and healthy, delicious food. You can explore ancient temples, watch dolphins at sunrise, or simply relax in the jungle’s peaceful embrace. It’s the perfect place to disconnect from the world and reconnect with each other.
The Couple's Playbook for a Perfect Escape
Book One 'Blow the Budget' Meal
01
Research and book one truly special restaurant—one with a spectacular view, a tasting menu, or just an incredible atmosphere. It elevates the whole trip and gives you a night to really look forward to.
02
Try the 'One Phone Between You' Rule
For a day of exploring, leave one phone in the hotel safe. Using just one device for maps and photos forces you to work together, be more present, and stops you from mindlessly scrolling.
03
Master the Sunset
Make it your daily ritual. Wherever you are, find the best spot—a rooftop bar, a quiet beach, a hilltop viewpoint—and just stop everything to watch the sun go down together. No phones, just the view.
04
Create a Holiday Soundtrack
Before you go, create a shared playlist of songs that remind you of your relationship, plus new ones you want to be the soundtrack to your trip. It’s the perfect way to get in the holiday mood.
05
Learn to Say "A Table for Two, Please"
Learning just a few key phrases in the local language is always a good idea, but there’s something particularly charming about this one.
06
Don't Over-Schedule
Leave big, empty spaces in your itinerary. The most romantic moments are often the ones you don’t plan for—the spontaneous decision to turn down a little side street, the afternoon nap that turns into a lazy evening.
Your Table for Two is Waiting
Life will always be busy. The to-do list will never truly be done. That’s why making time for just the two of you isn't an indulgence; it's essential. It’s an investment in your partnership, a reminder of why you chose each other, and a way to gather memories that will keep you warm long after you’ve landed back home.
