Most people label French as the ‘Language of Love’ and Paris as the ‘Eternal City of Love’. And even though it’s hard to debate those claiming this, we’d like to divert your attention from the capital of France and drive it a bit southward. The French themselves choose Cote d’Azur, not Paris, as their premier holiday destination.

The glitz, glamour, natural beauty, and diversity in attractions make it perfect for both newlyweds and seniors. South of France offers chill, serene, prestigious locations with a laid-back atmosphere and an exciting nightlife scene, topping almost anything besides the likes of Ibiza. 

Hawaii, USA

If you’re a free spirit and love exploring nature, which is untouched and remote, Hawaii is a great pick. These remote islands are known as a romantic getaway paradise, far from the mainland US.

The legendary Waikiki Beach needs no introduction, but you can do so much more… For example, renting an SUV and exploring the islands on your own is plenty of fun. In addition, it’s a surfer’s and snorkeler’s paradise, with spots like Hanauma Bay listed atop many snorkelling spot rankings.  

Turks and Caicos, Caribbean

The Caribbean is often listed as the perfect holiday destination by default. When you say ‘Caribbean’, people imagine crystal-clear, baby blue waters, white sandy beaches and palm trees with sunny days. Turks and Caicos is the go-to spot for this. It’s loved by top-tier rappers, entertainers like Drake, and regular tourists. 

Grace Bay Beach is often described as the world’s most beautiful beach. If you want a relaxing romantic anniversary trip, Turks and Caicos is a great pick.

Lapland, Finland

This one is a bit different from the rest. Visit Lapland and get away from it all. Watch the Northern Lights dance, see the birthplace of the real OG Santa Claus, and stay at a remote cabin or even a glass igloo to fully immerse yourself in the epitome of a ‘Winter Wonderland’. It’s a spot unlike anything else around the world.

Corfu, Greece

This is the most under-appreciated and under-the-radar spot for an anniversary trip on our list. Corfu is one of Greece’s hidden gems, offering loads of sights and great food at an affordable rate. For example, renting a top-tier villa from https://ambertonhotels.com/en/ is much more affordable than in other European countries and islands.

In Corfu, you can enjoy local delicacies in a seaside taverna while watching the sunset, explore Corfu Town, or just swim around the island in a boat. Doesn’t that sound romantic?

Brașov, Romania

Nestled in the heart of Transylvania, Brașov is a charming medieval city perfect for a romantic anniversary escape. Stroll hand in hand through its cobbled streets, admire the stunning Gothic architecture of the Black Church, and enjoy the cozy cafés lining Council Square. For breathtaking views, take the cable car up to Tampa Mountain or walk to the White Tower at sunset. Just outside the city, the world-famous Bran Castle (aka Dracula Castle) adds a hint of mystery to your trip. And some of the best Romanian SPA resorts are nearby, perfect for spoiling your loved one. So whether you’re savoring a candlelit dinner in a historic restaurant or looking for an active trip in the Carpathian Mountains, this enchanting city offers the perfect blend of history, nature, and romance.
