These seven destinations, handpicked by our deal experts, will inspire you to plan a truly unique trip with your partner.
Stay in a Cave Hotel in Cappadocia, Turkey
Floating over Cappadocia’s iconic fairy chimney rock formations in a hot air balloon is romantic enough, but elevate the experience by booking a cave hotel. This region in Turkey is riddled with natural caves transformed into accommodations ranging from cozy hostels to luxurious resorts. Expect breathtaking views of the surreal landscape and genuine Turkish hospitality.
Watch the Sunset Over Inle Lake, Myanmar
While Bagan’s pagodas draw crowds for their legendary sunrises and sunsets, Inle Lake offers a more intimate vantage point. Stay in wooden bungalows perched on the freshwater lake, surrounded by floating gardens and Intha fishermen who row standing on one leg—a sight as mesmerizing as the sunset itself.
Witness Sea Turtles Hatching on Lankayan Island, Borneo
Just a 1.5-hour boat ride from Sandakan, Malaysia, across the Sulu Sea, Lankayan Island feels like a private paradise. Part of the Sea Turtle Corridor, it’s a key nesting site for endangered green and hawksbill turtles. From June to September, watch hundreds of hatchlings race to the sea—a profound, shared moment of wonder.
Go Off-Grid in Cape Tribulation Rainforest, Australia
Skip the urban buzz of Sydney and Melbourne for Queensland’s northeast coast. Cape Tribulation sits at the unique junction of Daintree National Park and the Great Barrier Reef. Retreat to a rainforest guesthouse, with beaches nearby and the world’s largest coral system just a short boat ride away.
Hike Waterfalls in Mayflower Bocawina National Park, Belize
Nature enthusiasts will fall for Mayflower Bocawina National Park in Belize’s Stann Creek District. Base yourself at a jungle eco-resort within its 7,100 acres, featuring hiking trails, swimming holes, diverse flora and fauna, 200 wildlife species, and ancient Mayan ruins. Adventure-seeking couples can tackle Belize’s longest zipline or rappel down five stunning waterfalls.
Experience Oktoberfest in Colonia Tovar, Venezuela
Step into Colonia Tovar and you’ll swear you’re in Germany’s Black Forest. Founded by European settlers in 1843, this Venezuelan town boasts authentic German architecture, apple strudel, bratwurst, and a vibrant annual Oktoberfest celebration.
Chase the Northern Lights from a Glass Igloo in Finland
Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort in Finland sets the standard for unique stays with its glass-domed igloos. After days of snowmobiling, dog sledding, and winter adventures, cozy up under the stars from your bed—and with luck, catch the mesmerizing Northern Lights.
