Few things in life are as romantic as a beach sunset, a couples massage, and uninterrupted time together in a beautiful setting. If you’re looking for a romantic escape while enjoying a next-level beach vacation, here are our recommendations to experience passion.
Where to visit
Passion awaits you in French Polynesia, a collective of over 100 islands known for their coral-fringed lagoons and romantic over-the-water bungalow hotels. Bora Bora is perhaps the most well-known island in this region, for good reason. It’s love at first sight! And for many, it’s a honeymooner’s first choice. But you don’t have to be a newlywed to relish romance. Couples can enjoy a slow-paced sun-and-sand getaway with refreshing dips in the dreamlike turquoise blue waters or in a private infinity pool.
Across the Pacific Ocean is another island known for radiating romance, Oahu. The warm reception and tropical aromas will awaken your senses and lift your spirits as soon as you land. This sun and surf destination bursts with casual fun, incredible beauty, and genuine aloha. Hawaii has much to offer, from its sensuous scenery to its rich culture and dining experiences like the traditional luau.
Where to stay
Mount Otemanu rises from the sea like an emerald jewel, one seen from Le Bora Bora by Pearl Resorts. This natural wonder is the perfect backdrop for a romantic dinner on the beach or on an overwater deck. The resort features an authentic Polynesian style and personalized service to meet your every need. With three restaurants, oceanfront access, and a luxurious spa, you have everything you need for romantic rendezvous.
Hyatt Regency Waikiki Resort & Spa urges you to escape the everyday and instead connect with the heart of Hawaii and one another. Set in an idyllic location with views of the Diamond Head Crater and overlooking the Pacific Ocean, you’ll enjoy the perfect view for spectacular sunsets. Kick back in a poolside cabana with personalized service or stretch your legs by walking through the Pualeilani Atrium to see the resort’s onsite waterfall.
What to do
Fall in love on a romantic outrigger boat cruise along the island’s shores. This ancient tradition of outrigger canoes symbolizes escape, the journey, and exploration. It’s an intimate affair with room for only six couples on board or a private tour. You can swim in pristine waters, snorkel in coral gardens, and encounter sharks, stingrays, and colorful tropical fish. Dine on a delicious lunch on a secluded “motu” at a private table. Relax and enjoy your meal with a stunning view of Mount Otemanu.
Take in the wonderous sights of Hawaii on a sunset sail around the island. Board the Spirit of Aloha, a sailing vessel where you can dine on delicious appetizers and drinks as you watch the sunset. You’ll want to keep your eyes on the water around you for dolphin, green sea turtle, and whale sightings during the winter months.
Experience passion and excitement with a trip somewhere new. Where will romance lead you?
