    Romance and Honeymoons

Whether you've got an upcoming anniversary or just fancy treating your other half, a romantic holiday is never a bad idea. Taking a sunset stroll along a sandy beach, sleeping under the stars, and having plenty of adventures - it's a gift that's unlike any other. Make sure you make it the trip of a lifetime with one of our favourite romantic escapes.

Bali, Indonesia 

Bali has long-since been a location associated with paradise and love. Take a trip to Uluwatu and discover hidden beaches, treating your loved one to a bottle of champagne on a remote, sandy stretch of sand. If you’re an adventurous couple, hiking up Mount Batur for sunrise is a must, where you can watch the morning slowly break over the mountain tops. For the pinnacle of romance a resort stay in the jungles of Ubud is highly recommended! Spend your days relaxing with couple’s massages, spotting monkeys leaping around tree tops, and discovering all that Bali has to offer at its cultural centre. 

Discover serenity at Shambala

Kenya, Africa

If you have a loved one who prefers adventure to relaxing on the beach, an escape to Kenya is bound to go down well. The wildlife in this land is like no other, where cheetahs lounge in trees and birds of paradise fly through the air. Stay in vintage luxury at, Cottar’s 1920s Camp as you explore its private conservancy and the seventh wonder of the world, the Maasai Mara in Kenya and the Tanzania Serengeti game reserve. Or head to Giraffe Manor for a surreal experience with our long-necked friends. Of course, if serenity and sea is what you crave, Almanara Luxury Resort can also be the perfect place to enjoy private seclusion in romantic surroundings of incredibly clear, starry skies.

Explore the wilds of Kenya

The Italian Riviera, Italy

The glamour that surrounds The Italian Riviera attracts a wealth of exclusive visitors, and it is easy to see why. Not only is the Riviera home to some of the most exclusive hotels and restaurants in Europe, the natural beauty of the Mediterranean coastline cannot be underestimated. A short walk into the hills will reveal outstanding panoramic views and the perfect photo opportunity for you and your partner.

Experience la dolce vita

Tahiti, French Polynesia

From spear-fishing to body boarding, Tahiti is far from a dull island. Treat your partner to an indulgent getaway on this lush island and try out many of the local activities on offer. Of course, if you prefer a more laid-back vibe you can certainly enjoy that too, opting to lay back on the sand or swim lazily in the warm ocean. Whilst you are there, be sure to take a trip to the indulgent island of Bora Bora for the famous turquoise lagoon. The Intercontinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa is the perfect destination to take in the rich Polynesian culture, whilst relaxing in one of their overwater villas and suites, taking you even closer to the crystal clear lagoon surrounding the island of two hearts, Motu Piti Aau. If residing at the foot of the picturesque Mount Otemanu is more appealing for you and your partner, then the Four Seasons Resort in Bora Bora may be more suited to you! The resort is located within a truly idyllic, stunning setting and offers the chance for guests to enjoy a worry-free holiday in an extremely exclusive part of the world.

One of the many small islands surrounding Tahiti, Tetiaroa, is a destination like no other. The private island is home to beaches whose inhabitants include sea turtles, manta rays and numerous exotic birds that can all be found by walking along the golden sandy beaches here. The Brando hotel is a destination like no other, based on the private island, and offers both the chance for complete relaxation or a taste of adventure.
