The Best Romantic Getaways for 2026

Carly Faghy • February 3, 2026


Roses are red, violets are blue, no matter what you're looking for, we have a holiday for you....


We had to put a cheesy line in here somewhere… But, we often fall into the trap of a ‘classic romance.’ Don’t get us wrong some of us are secret cringy romantics at heart. But here’s the thing: romance is subjective. For some, it’s the adrenaline of a sunrise hike in Iceland; for others, it’s the total seclusion of a Bora Bora lagoon or the "main character energy" of walking through New York City. 


Whether you are planning a Valentine’s Day trip, a long-overdue anniversary escape, or maybe the perfect proposal spot… we’ve curated a list of the best romantic holiday destinations for 2026.




The Best Romantic Cities in Europe (The Classics)


If you are looking for that quintessential European charm, these destinations are the classics for a reason.



Paris, France, Holidays

Paris, France: The City of Love


There is no list of romantic city breaks without Paris. It’s a cliché for a reason, think champagne watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle.


In 2026, the most romantic way to see Paris is to avoid the midday queues at the big landmarks. Instead, wander through Le Marais at sunset, or find the Mur des Je t'aime (Wall of Love) in Montmartre.

Italy Holidays

Venice & Rome, Italy: History Meets Heart


Rome is cinematic romance. It’s the energy of Trastevere’s cobblestone streets and sharing a cacio e pepe in a hidden piazza. Venice, on the other hand, is a dreamscape. With no cars and only the sound of lapping water, it’s a place that forces you to slow down.


Turn your romantic getaway into a multi-city adventure  and celebrate love in two iconic cities by taking the high-speed train between them (it’s only about 4 hours!)

Iceland Holidays

Iceland: For Adventurous Couples


Not all romance is warm weather. Iceland is becoming a top bucket-list destination for couples who want to trade city lights for the Northern Lights. "Wellness travel" is huge for 2026, and nothing beats soaking in the Sky Lagoon overlooking the North Atlantic while the air is crisp and cold.


Why not chase the Northern Lights on a cruise? There is a specific kind of bond formed when you're wrapped in blankets in the middle of the ocean, waiting for the sky to turn green.



Hidden Romantic Destinations


If you are looking for that quintessential For the couple that has "been there and done that," or those looking for off-the-radar escapes that capture intimacy without the tourist swarms, we’ve got our top up-and-coming destinations. 


But maybe let's keep these a secret between us a little longer…

Tallinn, Estonia

Tallinn, Estonia

The Old Town is one of the best-preserved medieval centres in Europe. It feels like stepping into a storybook, with red-roofed towers and winding alleyways. 


Head to the Kohtuotsa viewing platform at sunrise for a panoramic view.

Ljubljana, Slovenia

Tallinn, Estonia

Ljubljana is arguably the most charming capital in Europe. It’s a "green" city, centred around a river lined with weeping willows and outdoor cafes. It’s small, walkable, and effortlessly romantic.


Take a day trip to nearby Lake Bled to ring the "wishing bell" on the island church, accessible only by a traditional wooden pletna boat.

Siena, Italy

Tallinn, Estonia

For a rustic Italian escape, Siena offers sun-drenched brick plazas and world-class wine.


You have typical Italian charm and romance, but far less crowd than the likes of Venice or Rome.


Take a hot air balloon ride over the Tuscan hills at dawn, it’s the ultimate "saveable" travel moment.

Romantic Destinations Worldwide


Sometimes, a romantic retreat requires crossing an ocean to truly disconnect from daily life. So we’ve listed our top 3 romantic spots, for those looking for a far flung destination.

New York City, USA

New York

Romance in NYC is high-energy and iconic.


It’s the "us against the world" feeling of navigating the city, followed by the quiet of a jazz club or a late-night walk through a snowy Central Park.

Bora Bora, French Polynesia

Bora Bora

Bora Bora is the gold standard for "unplugging." In 2026, the trend is "Sleep Tourism" prioritising rest and luxury.


Here, the only thing on your to-do list is deciding which part of the lagoon to snorkel in.

Hawaii, USA

Hawaii

Hawaii offers a rare blend of relaxation and thrill.


Whether it's the lush "Garden Isle" of Kauai or the volcanic wonders of the Big Island, it’s a destination that encourages you to be active together.

We’re back with another USA blog as part of our FIFA World Cup 26 series. This week, while Las Vegas isn’t actually hosting any matches, we’re seeing plenty of fans adding it into their US trips — and it’s easy to see why. Las Vegas is one of those destinations that doesn’t really need an introduction, but we’ll give it one anyway. This is the city where an Eiffel Tower stands next to a pyramid. Where breakfast at 2pm is completely normal. Where you can watch world-class shows, take a gondola ride through Venice, stand beneath dancing fountains, and try your luck in a casino… all without leaving the Strip. It's loud. It's over the top. It's completely bonkers. And that's exactly why people love it. First things first, let’s get the stereotype out of the way. Yes, Las Vegas is known for hen dos, stag parties and group weekend getaways. But Vegas isn’t selective — it really does have something for everyone. Whether you’re planning the ultimate hen party, a family trip, a couples getaway, or even a solo adventure, Las Vegas works in more ways than people expect. So with that in mind, here are our must-do experiences for your first visit.

Ready for your latest USA instalment as part of our FIFA World Cup 26 series? This week we’re heading to one of the most iconic cities in the world as England prepare to take on Panama on 27th June. Of course, we’re talking about New York City. New York doesn’t really need an introduction. Even if you’ve never been, you already know it — you’ve seen it in films, on TV, in adverts, and probably scrolling Instagram at 2am when you start planning trips you haven’t actually booked yet. Times Square, Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, Broadway, yellow taxis everywhere… it’s one of those cities that feels familiar before you even arrive. But here’s the question we get asked all the time as travel agents: "When is the best time to visit New York?" And honestly? It's a difficult one to answer. Summer in New York is absolutely unreal. Rooftop bars packed, outdoor events everywhere, Central Park in full swing, street performers, long evenings where you lose track of time just wandering around. But then winter rolls in… And suddenly New York turns into something else entirely. It’s the New York you've seen in the films. Christmas lights everywhere. Ice skating in Central Park. Markets in Bryant Park. Fifth Avenue looking like a film set. It’s very “Home Alone 2 energy” if we’re being honest. So rather than picking a winner, we've decided to do something a little different. We've put together two perfect three-day itineraries – one for a summer visit and one for a winter city break. Same New York. Completely different vibe.

If you’ve been to Constantinou Bros Asimina Suites Hotel before, you’ll already know how special it is. And if it’s been on your list for a while, now might be the perfect time to go.  The hotel officially reopened on 2nd May 2026 after a six-month refurbishment, and one of our team (Carly from head office) was lucky enough to spend a week there straight after reopening to see what’s changed. It’s always really important that our agents know hotels inside and out, so that you can trust they know what they are talking about when they make recommendations for your holiday.

We’re back with another USA blog ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026, and this time we’re diving into the legend that is Dallas. Dallas is known for iconic Texas BBQ, high-end shopping, cowboy culture, and the historic assassination site of John F. Kennedy. But most importantly… SPORTS.  And, with England taking on Croatia on the 17th June, there’s no better time to talk about one of America’s true sports cities.
