1. CAPPADOCIA TURKEY

Float in a hot air balloon above the exotic landscape of Cappadocia, Turkey. With your romantic heads in the clouds, look down on the fairytale landscape, richly textured with fairy chimneys, honeycombed hills, and giant boulders. Gaze at the dramatic sunrise or sunset during a champagne toast to your love. Stay in a cool cave hotel.

2. JULIET’S BALCONY VERONA, ITALY

Juliet’s Balcony, in Verona, Italy, from where the famous lovestruck girl is said to have uttered “Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?” is a beautiful inspiration. Plus the ancient town of Verona is filled with old-world charm and even more romantic places to share with your true love.

3. CLIFFSIDE HOTELS -- SANTORINI, GREECE

Whitewashed Katikies and Mystique are two particularly lovely hotels nestled into the cliffs of Santorini, Greece. Look into each other's eyes whenever you can steal your eyes away from the spectacular view over the turquoise Aegean Sea filled caldera and the spectacular sunsets.

4. CLIFFS OF MOHER -- IRELAND

The Cliffs of Moher offer a romantic edge along the emerald coast of Ireland. Stroll hand in hand with your sweetheart for miles as you gaze at the view (and each other). You’ll be treated to lovely beaches below, rolling green hillsides alongside, and charming seaside villages dotted along the way.

5. HAVASU FALLS -- ARIZONA

Get a rush of passion under the rushing Havasu Falls, in the southwestern region of the Grand Canyon, in Arizona. The blue-green water strikes a contrast against the red rocks and the soft golden sand beach.

It’s a beautiful place to feel your spiritual side as well, as the spot is considered sacred by the Havasupai Indian tribe.

6. AMAZON RIVER -- PERU

Travelling down a lazy river is a romantic dream. Take an Amazon River Cruise in Peru. Watch the rainforest roll by, as Amazon River dolphins, manatees, and tamarin monkeys play. Catch a glimpse of three-toed sloths, caimans, jaguars, hyacinth macaws and loads of other wild things.

Go wild together!

7. OFF THE GRID -- SITKA, ALASKA

Get way off the grid so you can focus totally on love at Sitka, Alaska. Gorgeous wilderness, with mammoth snow-capped mountains, glorious glaciers, crystalline lakes, and endless skies await. Take epic hikes and get cozy at romantic B & Bs.

8. NA PALI COAST -- KAUAI, HAWAII

Lush tropical beauty frames your romance on Na Pali Coast of Kauai, Hawaii. Exotic flowers, birds and butterflies make romance of their own, while waterfalls tumble for you. There are lots of secluded spots to tempt you.

9. NEUSCHWANSTEIN CASTLE -- GERMANY

If you are looking for somewhere to celebrate your fairytale romance, Neuschwanstein Castle, in Germany is your place.

It was the inspiration for Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty castle and Disney World’s Cinderella castle.

10. ISLE OF SKYE -- SCOTLAND

Rugged, ancient, and full of contrasts, the Isle of Skye, in Scotland is the perfect setting for deep romance. The coasts are full of drama, with jagged mountains and tumultuous seas.

Fairy Pools delight, with a series of cascades leading down to the River Brittle. Rainbows are plentiful. Check out Celtic castle ruins and more. Quaint B & Bs will ply you with soft feather beds and smoky local single malt whiskey.
