Time flies so fast – February is here! Planning to surprise your partner with a budget-friendly romantic getaway?
From secluded beaches to cherry blossom lined-streets, here are 5 of the most romantic travel destinations that couples can choose from.
Palawan, Philippines
If you are looking for an exotic destination that won’t hurt your pocket, then Philippines is the best country for you. One of the beautiful islands is Palawan – home to one of the New 7 Wonders of the world, the Puerto Princesa Underground River.
This island is filled with so much nature, wildlife and landscapes that make it a perfect paradise for the outdoor lovers and adventure seekers.
Okinawa, Japan
One of the best viewing spots for Cherry Blossoms is the floodlit 700-year old Nakijin Castle. Since Okinawa is subtropical, Cherry Blossoms already start to bloom during late of January to early February which is perfect for a Valentine’s Day trip.
Aside from the cherry blossoms, you can also enjoy a romantic sunset sailing in Ishigaki Island or some outdoor activities such as Paragliding and river trekking. Here’s a blog post that lists down the top 10 things that you can do in Okinawa.
Napa Valley
To wine and dine in Napa Valley sounds very romantic. There are a number of wineries that offer vacation packages that include wine tasting and gourmet dining. But aside from drinking wine, you and your partner can also do other fun activities such as enrolling in a weekend cooking seminar, trying different kinds of olive oil, going for a relaxing spa treat or seeing the beauty of the Valley by riding a Hot Air Balloon Ride.
Las Vegas
Las Vegas is a popular place for bachelor/bachelorette parties and 21st birthday celebrations, but it is also a perfect destination for a fun romantic getaway.
For the married (and unmarried couples), why not renew your vows or actually get hitched at the Graceland Wedding Chapel? There are also shows that you and your partner can watch together, as well Spas for a relaxation treat and of course, see some romantic icons such as the Fountains of Bellagio, the Eiffel Tower Experience and the gondola rides at The Venetian.
Verona, Italy
Italy is known as a perfect destination for lovers – from the beautiful sunset to the art cities, the beaches to the lake towns, everything in Italy is just filled with romance. However, most people hesitate to visit Italy because European countries are known to be expensive travel destinations.
If you are looking for a more affordable city in Italy, then you should check out Verona. It is a city in the Northern side of the country and is famous for being the setting of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”. You can also visit different Museums, Churches and enjoy authentic Italian food.
