Venice

Attend the opera, glide silently through the streets on a gondola and explore the slightly faded magnificence of this unique city. Marvel at the splendid architecture and even retrace the footsteps of that world-famous lover, Casanova. The outlying islands offer unique views of the city and offer a glimpse into an historic way of life. Release yourselves from your regular routine and make time to admire the sunrise, and be sure to view the city at sunset, when the water reflects the glorious colours of the sky.
Paris
Paris is every lover’s first choice for a romantic city break. The ‘capital of romance’ is convenient for travellers from the United Kingdom and positively oozes continental charm and savoir faire. Cruise the Seine by night, dine at the top of the Eiffel Tower and stroll the wide avenues with the one you love, observing the sights, sounds and smells of the city. Explore splendid architecture, linger over masterpieces in the Louvre or simply stay in your hotel room getting to know each other and enjoying the food and drink that has made France famous.
Taj Mahal
Laid out precisely and built painstakingly, the Taj Mahal is, perhaps, the most romantically inspired building in the world. A monument to his beloved wife of nineteen years, the Taj Mahal was completed in 1653, after twenty years of work, by the fifth Mugal Emperor, Shah Jahan. As a symbol of eternal love and devotion the Taj Mahal stands tall, serenely reflecting in the shallow pools of water nearby, as beautiful and elegant today as it was 300 years ago. Explore the grounds and gardens with your loved one, and compare the depth of your feelings to each other to that long-ago ruler and his adored Mumtaz Mahal.
Seychelles
Find a secluded cove or patch of beach, explore the beauty of the island or simply relax and socialise with your lover on this island paradise. The hotels are well aware of the romance of their home island and the staff will go out of their way to make this holiday the most romantic one of your life! Sip chilled champagne, dine on freshly caught sea-food and swim and sunbathe with your partner as you get to know each other in a beautiful and relaxed setting.
Grand Canyon
For truly memorable photographs and memories, visit the Grand Canyon in Arizona. The sight of the immense depths of this natural feature will stay in your minds forever, enhancing and deepening your memories of this time spent together. Luxury amenities designed for lovers, breath-taking naturals vistas stretching off into the far distance and plenty of activities and tours will make your romantic getaway at the Grand Canyon a memorable and wonderful occasion.
