Just the Two of Us!!!
We all want a lovely beach vacation when it’s just the two of us, but if you have never been to an isolated tropical location or secluded European cove, you might want some pointers.
So I have listed below 10 of the most popular and romantic beach locations around the world where you can get to spend a lot of time with your loved one without being in the center of a city, or close to a giant harbour!
The Maldives - The best location I have ever found where you can guarantee peace and quiet are the islands of the Maldives, just south of Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean. Some of these beautiful islands have less than 20 rooms, and all you can see on the horizon across the azure waters are a few dotted islands and the splashes left by dolphins and turtles.
Fiji - Here in the south Pacific, there are plenty of islands to visit, all of which have their own secluded beaches and tropical hideaways for you to explore. Not only can you do nothing on your hammock here, you can also charter a small boat and day-trip to an uninhabited island all to yourselves.
A Villa in Italy - How many times have you looked at a cluster of terracotta buildings perched on a rocky slope overlooking a pristine cove and wanted to be there? Wanted to explore the tiny winding passageways from your room to the beach in the sunshine. Well, you can, and it’s in the Mediterranean.
Bermuda - These gems in the Atlantic certainly have the desired isolation and warm climate for total relaxation. With intriguing pink sandy beaches and a colonial feel, you will find sophistication and charm in the resorts with walking, cycling and water-sports all available without the high temperature and humidity of more tropical locations.
Bahamas - Need I say more? This place oozes romance; with great weather, stunning views and plenty of islands to choose from - and if money isn’t an object, why not charter a boat for the 2 of you to guarantee isolation and a view of whatever beaches you want!
Turks and Caicos - This beautiful chain of over 40 islands and cays is certainly a place to ‘get away from it all’. Breath-taking turquoise waters, powder white soft sandy beaches and a tranquil vibe sums up this location.
Brazil - A relatively undiscovered destination, with Buzios as an area famed for it’s 20 lush beaches and a bustling night life or Ponta Negro’s beaches can ‘wow’ you with the same vibrancy after dark! It is Brazil so your romantic vacation will not be boring…..
The Seychelles - A more expensive location - mainly to keep it exclusive. And you will want it that way - just you and the lapping ocean! There are a few more isolated spots away from the main island, and it’s these locations that will make you want to stay…….
Hawaii - The smaller resorts on these amazing volcanic islands could be your ideal beach vacation if you look around - it’s not all chain hotels and surfing here - you can still find pristine locations where it will just be you two and your dreams…..
South of France - You don’t need the beach for romance in this country, but the south coast of France has it anyway. Miles and miles of pristine beaches and lonely coves. The culture will make you feel like you are the only couple in the world enjoying it.
Plan Your Romantic Beach Vacation
Don’t let you dream romantic beach vacation be ruined by something avoidable otherwise you could end up just having another great holiday - rather than that special break.
The vacation you hoped would be the perfect dream of a quiet, sunny, and secluded vacation could become ‘nothing special’. Money and memories wasted.
So, to keep your romantic beach vacation just as you planned here are a few tips that will help you really enjoy that unforgettable and romantic vacation on a tropical or isolated beach.
- Plan in advance for your accommodation - otherwise you could end up settling for something not 100% what you wanted, but the dates were right.
- Think ahead for car hire and special trips or romantic meals. Popular trips and restaurants can book up in advance - leaving you without a thing. Don’t risk a last minute decision as you may be very dissapointed.
- Sun creams, insect repellants and mosquito nets may not be romantic - but if you are travelling to areas where you could be affected by sunburn or insect-bourne illnesses, these are essential. You don’t want to end up in pain, or in hospital!
- Holiday Insurance is vital if you are travelling abroad - even for just a few days - as you never know when anything unplanned could happen.
- Unless you are planning a family, make sure you are more than prepared for all eventualities as mild sickness or time zone changes could affect the effectiveness of some oral contraceptives!
- To help - always avoid tap water and ice if travelling abroad and make sure you only eat well cooked foods from busy restaurants, cook your own or eat at your hotel.
And above all - Enjoy your trip!
