Travel inspiration – romantic getaways!

This week we are back with our Maps International top 5 places to visit for couples to get a romantic getaway. Take a look to see if you can get some inspiration…

1. Venice, Italy

Everything becomes more beautiful once you are on the river – especially at night when the light bounces off it and creates a comforting glow. Experiencing a trip on a gondola with your loved one is a must as you will see the awe-inspiring sights without all the noise of congested cars. Romance is found in the magic of this city which floats on water, something you don’t experience every day.

2. Barbados, Carribean

Unwind on the coral shore beaches of fine white sand and take a dip in the blue-green sea as the sun sets. Barbados is famous for its excellent rum so why not enjoy a cocktail tour of the Mount Gay Rum Distillary with your partner.

3. Guangxi Province, China

Fancy a bit more excitement on your romantic getaway. You don’t need to be sat on a beach to find romance. With lush rugged landscapes, eye-catching caves and mountains and the lazy winding river, sit back and relax in this subtropical climate.

4. Bora Bora

With dramatic scenery and overwater bungalows, Bora Bora has got to be one of the most romantic islands. Hire out a boat to enjoy a private lagoon excursion where your guide will take you to coral gardens allowing you to snorkel and swim with the rays in Bora Bora’s famous turquoise lagoon.

5. Rovinj, Croatia

Visit the most beloved town in Istria with its pastel coloured houses and its Venetian bell tower. If you climb to the hilltop, you will be rewarded with inspiring views over the town towards the sea. Go on a romantic cycle tour together and really discover the beautiful Croatian nature.
