Longing for a romantic getaway? Places like Paris and the Maldives are lovely, but they're a bit, well, obvious. Plus, big crowds and eye-watering prices are guaranteed passion killers. Instead, consider these swoon-worthy alternatives.
Paris is more popular than ever (thanks, Emily), so whisk your lover away to the Croatian city of Dubrovnik instead. The pearl of the Adriatic offers an intimate and culturally rich getaway. Bask in the tranquility of the St. Lawrence Fortress, dine at Proto and enjoy an authentically romantic trip, free from the over familiarity of Paris.
The Philippines: More affordable alternative to the Maldives
Forget being divas in the Maldives! The Philippines offers an equally enchanting and romantic retreat. The pristine beaches of El Nido, the idyllic charm of Coron Island, and the budget-friendly yet fabulous accommodation on Panglao Island, are heaven for couples seeking an authentic and wallet-friendly island getaway.
Lesser known Greek islands : Less cliché than Santorini
No need to fight your way through a sea of selfie sticks in Santorini. Instead, explore Andros, Tinos, Naxos and Syros on a tranquil island-hopping escape. Drive around scenic coastlines, explore mountain villages and relax on secluded and intimate beaches – a world away from the tourist-saturated atmosphere of Santorini.
Venice is fabulous, but it could do with a break. Instead, follow your heart to one of the many romantic places in the UK. Just like Venice, you'll find canals winding through ancient cities, (hello, Oxford). And there's much more besides. Stroll through the countryside, enjoy a sunset cocktail in a vibrant city and let love blossom.
