If your travel dreams for two revolve around celebrating your engagement, elopement, honeymoon, vow renewal, or anniversary on picturesque beaches, this vacation guide will help you plan for adventure and passion. Consider these inspired ideas for enjoying natural wonders while becoming an even closer couple.

Travel Arrangements
Bargains: Peak and down times vary between Destinations, but fall, late winter, and early spring tourism rates are best generally. Airfare and lodging prices drop during off and shoulder seasons. Resorts charge less mid-week when airlines and city hotel raise rates due to business travel. If driving, a nearby resort may be reasonable Sunday to Thursday with extras like complimentary breakfasts and massages. Cozy inns and charming B&Bs are affordable alternatives that allow indulging in spa days, gourmet dinners, or live performances.

Destinations: Factor your budget, vacation length, and season into destination choices. When splurging, fly somewhere exotic and secluded like Fiji. For a frugal getaway, fly or drive to inexpensive California or Florida accommodations. Select locales by dual priorities. Active resort fun from scuba diving to sailing? Or numerous neighboring eateries? If you’ll visit a spa while he plays golf, get a package deal offering both.

All-inclusive specials: Enchanting resorts in Florida, Hawaii, the Caribbean, Bali, Europe, and Thailand combine all lodgings, meals, activities, and sometimes airfare. You’ll avoid totaling individual costs to stay on budget.

Weekender deals: Lodging packages may include a luxurious suite with pampering amenities like couple’s massages, candlelight dinner, and rose petal turndown service. Even when hotel websites don’t list romance specials, a reservation agent may customize your visit with popular add-ons.
Couple’s cruise: Celebrate your special occasion on a couple’s cruise. Enjoy various destinations, tours, activities, and cuisines. Options range from weekend Caribbean sails to longer Mediterranean journeys.

Packing: Bright, warm climates require sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, and light-colored protective clothing. Take casual outfits and walking shoes for daytime explorations, swimwear, and flirty dresses with comfortable heels for dining and nightlife.

Romantic women’s swimsuits like this black mesh bikini reveal just enough extra skin. Beachwear styles that add flair and appeal to your vacation include this white one-piece mesh swimsuit and this burgundy sheer swimwear. For relaxing hot tub dates, try this black see-thru bikini.

Special Occasions
Engagement: Before planning a distant wedding, basking in your newly engaged glow on a sunny beach will set a honeymooning mood. Unwinding first can ease you through nuptial preparations.

Elopement: Prefer an intimate ceremony to a grand extravaganza? Book a wedding/honeymoon package on a remote Island in Europe, Fiji, or Tahiti. Or choose a seaside American resort or inn.

Honeymoon: Visit a tropical island like Bora Bora with scenic backdrops for stunning photo memories. Stateside, explore a delightful East Coast beach community such as Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, or Cape Cod.

Vow renewal: Rejoice in your lasting love by renewing your wedding vows in magical settings across Hawaii, French Polynesia, and Maui. Call any hotel’s concierge for package details if the website doesn’t list such options. For multi-generational traveling parties, pick a resort with fun pursuits for everyone like swimming, tours, shopping, spa, golf, and kids’ games.

Anniversary: Request a special suite for your anniversary celebration so the staff will supply extras from roses to chocolates. When returning to your original honeymoon site, they’re bound to lavish you even more.

Best Couple’s Destinations
Bahamas: Paradise Island’s scenery and activities make it the most famous Bahamas location, but some private isles are ideal for couple’s hideaways. Offering convenient all-inclusive pricing, Kamalame Cay’s limit of 11 guest lodgings ensures seclusion.
