Research romantic destinations 
The first step to planning a romantic getaway is to choose a destination. Research romantic destinations around the world to get inspiration, or look for tips on blogs and forums online. Your destination will largely depend on the time and budget you have available, but it’s a good idea to consider different options. Speak to your partner to get an idea of where they would like to go, perhaps they’ve been dreaming of a tropical island escape, or they’ve always wanted to stay in a romantic log cabin in the Swiss alps. 

Remember that you don’t have to fly halfway around the world to impress your other half. There are plenty of romantic destinations in the UK and Europe that can be reached easily and affordably. Planning a getaway close to home will mean you have more budget left to plan romantic activities and surprises once you reach your destination.
Book the perfect accommodation 
The accommodation you book is key, so be sure to do your research to find the perfect base for your romantic getaway. There is an endless choice of romantic accommodation choices, from cosy cottages and log cabins, to quirky guesthouses and luxurious hotels. If you truly want to treat your loved one, then you should consider hiring a romantic villa. This will give you ultimate privacy, plus many come with romantic upgrades like jacuzzis and terraces for al fresco dining to make your trip even more special. You can find a wide selection of Villas For Couples online, so be sure to shop around to get the best deals. 

Plan thoughtful activities
Once you have your destination and accommodation sorted, you need to consider what activities your partner would enjoy on your trip. The activities you choose will depend on your travel style, but some popular romantic activities for couples include cooking classes, guided tours, wine tasting and massages. Make sure you tell your partner if they need to pack any clothing for particular activities i.e. hiking boots or warm clothing. You should also consider arranging a romantic experience to surprise your loved one. This could be a relaxing champagne picnic in the park watching the sunset, or a romantic private candlelit dinner. Many hotels and guesthouses can help plan these experiences, so be sure to contact them beforehand if you want to arrange something special for your partner. 

This may include sightseeing, hiking, biking, wine tasting, and exploring the local culture. If you’re looking for something a little more adventurous, consider skiing, exploring the local area with the help of motorcycle hire tenerife or snowboarding in the winter months or white water rafting during the warmer seasons. No matter what you choose to do, be sure to keep your partner surprised by not revealing the details of the activities until you’re actually on your trip. This will make for a much more special and memorable experience for both of you.

Decide how to reveal 
Once your plans have been made, the final step is to decide how to reveal the trip to your partner. You may decide to leave the surprise until they get to the airport, or tell them a few hours before so they have time to pack their own bags. Alternatively, you could tell them about the trip a few weeks before but leave the destination a surprise, then leave clues around the house to build excitement.
