Deciding on a location for a couple’s holiday can be tricky. Do you want somewhere romantic or exciting? Do you both want a relaxing holiday? Or do you want different things from the trip?
Every couple is different, so below we have compiled a list of our top 10 destinations for couple’s holidays. We have included a real mix so there should be something for everyone.
The Caribbean is always a popular destination for those in love; and especially for honeymooners; thanks to its tropical climate and secluded atmosphere. Here you can share some real alone time with your partner, enjoying the sun or relaxing in the pool or sea.
There are plenty of activities for you to partake in, with water sports being top choices. Snorkelling, scuba diving and boat trips are all among the favourites to do in the Caribbean but these aren’t all. If you’re not a fan of the sea or want to take some time away from the water, why not try off-roading or take a treetop walk through the jungle.
