Paris, France

Known as one of the most romantic places on earth, Paris is every bit as romantic as it is in the movies! With plenty of top restaurants, places to shop, cultural attractions it’s the perfect place to whisk that special someone away to. Watch the sunset from the Sacre-Coeur, enjoy a moonlit cruise down the Seine, sneak a kiss at the top of the Eiffel Tower, or simply wander hand in hand down the city’s charming streets. It’s not called The City of Love for nothing!

Greece

You don’t have to brave a long haul flight to enjoy a luxurious romantic retreat. With glorious weather all year round, exotic beaches and crystal clear waters, there are plenty of Greek islands to choose from, but why just stop at one? The short distances between them makes island hopping really easy and you can explore everything from the mountains of Crete to the stunning landscape of Zakynthos and plenty of lively tavernas in between.

 

Eden Rock, St Barths, Caribbean

All of the Caribbean islands offer something special, but St Barths has made a name for itself as one of the sexiest. With a tiny population and only a small number of tourists visiting every year, you really will feel like an A-Lister as you stretch out on the unspoiled beaches, admire the tropical landscape and appreciate the perfect panoramas.

The Maldives

Peace and quiet is hard to come by, but there are still corners of the world where you can spend time in a lovely romantic setting with nobody but the person you love. Known for its amazing secluded islands, the Maldives is one of these! The sun shines all year round on these tropical islands, and with an abundance of palm trees and unspoiled beaches, these tiny coral reef islands really are postcard-perfect.

The beauty of The Maldives is that there’s very little to see and do here, so you can just soak up the sun and take a dip in the sparkling blue waters. It’s unlikely, but if you do get bored of lounging in the sun, you can explore the underwater world by snorkelling in the beautiful Indian Ocean. One of the best ways to experience The Maldives is in a luxury spa hotel, and you’ll find plenty of great deals on http://hotels.planethikes.com/Place/Maldives.htm.

The Lake District, UK

It might be more Hugh Grant rom-com than Hollywood action thriller, but there’s still movie style romance to be found in The Lake District amidst the lush greenery, breath-taking scenery and sleepy lakeside resorts. You might not be in The Maldives or the Caribbean, but the sunset will be no less impressive and you’ll find it much easier to get a secluded spot to enjoy it. And if the weather isn’t on your side, you can always cosy up in a picturesque country inn.
