Valentine’s Day is tomorrow, which makes it the perfect time to plan a romantic trip with your partner, so you can reconnect by spending some quality time on a fun adventure. No matter what your budget is, you and your sweetheart can enjoy a creative romantic getaway any time of the year, and anywhere in the world.
The truth is any destination can be romantic, when you are with the right person. No matter where you are in the world, being with the person you love makes everything, brighter, funnier, happier, and more romantic.
Instead of getting destination specific in this blog, I decided to come up with five travel themes that are great for couples vacation, and can be adjusted to fit every couples style, hobbies, and budget.
5 Creative Romantic Getaways To Take With Your Special Someone
Plan A Trip Around Your Common Interests
I love the trips that two of my best friends, Bart and Melissa go on. If you follow me on Instagram (which you should, let’s connect), you would probably have seen this beautiful, married couple in some of my stories. These two will occasional plan trips based on their common interests, and I personally think it’s a great idea.
They both love the TV show, Breaking Bad, so one time they went to Albuquerque, New Mexico and went on their own Breaking Bad tour, and took these amazing photos at the filming locations.
They are both into haunted houses, ghost stories, scary movies, and paranormal activity of all sorts, so they decided to spend a few nights at the infamous Stanley Hotel.
Shows about drug lords, and ghosts may not be every couples’ idea of a “romantic” vacation but that’s okay, in fact that’s the point. These are things that Bart and Melissa have in common – the things that they can geek out on together, drawing them closer, and keeping their love strong. Not only are they exploring the world together, they are also engaging in the topics that they bond over, which makes these trips super cute, and is one of many reasons their relationship is #couplegoals.

Hopefully you and your lover have things in common. Plan your next adventure around something that bonds you two together.
When In Doubt Go French – Creative Romantic Getaways
Did you know that “I miss you”, in French is “tu me manques”, which literally translates to “you are missing from me”? Gosh darn it, how cute is that!
French is the language of love, making any french speaking city, hotel, or restaurant a great option for a trip with your lover. Obviously France is going to be a great destination to explore, after Paris is the city of love. You could also plan a trip to the french speaking parts of Switzerland, and enjoy time in the cute country towns and Alps.
If you are on a smaller budget, you can head to the Great White North, aka Canada, and enjoy a romantic getaway in either Montreal, or Quebec city. Montreal is extremely affordable, and exploring the cobble stone streets of Old Montreal is super romantic.
If you are on a super tight budget, you can have a stay-cation and explore your area for a french themed hotel, and restaurant.

Sail Around Europe With Intrepid Tours
Why not sail around Europe with your mate, and a small group of like-minded adventurers.
Sailing trips in Europe can feel a bit like you’ve stumbled into a Bridget Bardot movie: sleepy Italian hamlets perched on limestone cliffs, the sun-drenched glitz of the Cote d’Azur, lazing the day away on deck with a handful of Grecian olives. It’s one of the best ways to explore the continent, although you are faced with some tough decisions: spend the afternoon snorkelling that secluded cove, or sail Croatia’s favourite archipelago? Indulge in a family-run taverna banquet, or burn the calories on a bike ride through the hinterland? To take that evening cocktail before or after Santorini’s marmalade sunset? Ah, decisions, decision.
Intrepid tours offers fun and affordable unique adventurous all around the world. If you and your soul mate love a good adventure, check out their sailing tours now.
All-inclusive Resort – Warm Destination
I am not one to promote all-inclusive resorts, but sometimes it’s really nice to just relax. Staying at an all-inclusive resort at a warm destination is a great way for you and your special someone to slow down and spend some quality time together. I recommend this option to couples who are super busy with work or other commitments. Enjoy sleeping in, tanning by the pool, and all the comforts the resort has to offer. You can usually find great deals to resorts in Mexico, Cuba, or the Dominican Republic.
No matter where you and your lover venture too, have fun and enjoy the journey.
