What makes for a special couples getaway?
Whether you’ve been together for two months or twenty years, you’ll both have your own idea of what makes the perfect getaway.
Ultimately, the ideal luxury couples getaway will always depend on who’s travelling. Just because you’re spending time together doesn’t mean the experience has to follow anyone else’s idea of romance. What matters is what feels right for you.
That said, a few timeless elements help set the tone for a truly special getaway.
First and foremost, it should feel indulgent. This is your chance to step away from the everyday and immerse yourselves in comfort, pleasure and a touch of the extraordinary. Perhaps that’s a five-star hotel room surrounded by unspoiled beauty, a candlelit dinner prepared by a Michelin-starred chef, or simply the ease of knowing every detail has been anticipated for you.
Of course, romance lies at the heart of it all. Yet, romance is more than rose petals and champagne – it’s about creating the time and space to reconnect. This may be an unhurried morning, a sunset walk, a private wine tasting, or a shared spa ritual.
Whatever romance looks like to you, the most memorable couples escapes should feel effortless. That means transfers arranged, itineraries curated and every small detail handled with care, so all that’s left is to relax and create moments that feel entirely your own.

Different types of getaways for couples: which suits your travel style best?
Every couple connects differently, and a unique couples getaway should reflect that. The experience should feel as natural as it is unforgettable.
Romance
For some, the emphasis is firmly on relaxation and reconnection. Picture wellness retreats where sunrise yoga, bubbling hot tubs and couples massages allow you to focus entirely on each other. Evenings spent wining and dining with scenic views allow you to slow and savour the moment.
Adventure
For others, the perfect vacation is all about shared discovery on an adventure getaway. Think horseback riding through rugged mountain trails, driving supercars through scenic state parks, or exploring hidden corners of a historic city, hand in hand.
Indulgence
If indulgence is your love language, a culinary escape may be ideal. Culinary indulgence comes in many forms – whether you’re revelling in the comfort of an opulent five-star hotel with a Michelin-starred menu, or sharing a table at an authentic local BBQ spot where the craft ales flow.
Culture
For the culturally curious, romance flourishes through discovery. Think nights in boutique hotels, days spent admiring local art and architecture, and immersive excursions that bring a destination’s heritage to life – from stargazing sessions to cookery classes that explore local flavours.
