14 OF THE MOST ROMANTIC PLACES FROM AROUND THE WORLD

As Valentine's Day is coming upon us I thought it would be fitting to collate a list of places we deem are the most romantic from around the world.

14. South Africa

Imagine being on holiday with your partner watching the sunset as you see African animals silhouetted in the distance.

12.The Maldives

We have experienced the romance of The Maldives for ourselves. With dazzling white-sand beaches and warm azure seas, it’s no surprise that the islands of the Maldives are such an intoxicating destination. Home to a number of intimate (and often exclusive) resorts, this is undoubtedly a honeymooner’s paradise.

11. Kyoto, Japan

Many people say Kyoto is the epitome of Japan. It is full of rich culture, delicious food, ancient Buddhist temples and gorgeous gardens. Spring is known for the most romantic time to visit, as the cherry blossoms are in bloom.

10. Tuscany Vineyards

Just hearing Tuscany and Vineyard in the same sentence already sounds like a romantic adventure. Sleep in a historic villa, eat amazing food and wonder through stunning vineyards as you sip on different wines - Italy you are one romantic place.

9. The Greek Islands

Island-hopping around the Greek islands ... can it get any more romantic? This place is my honeymoon of choice with its sandy beaches, idyllic sunsets  and stunning white and blue architecture.

8. Colmar, France

If you are into the romantic fairytale setting then Colmar in France is the place for you. It seriously feels like you have stepped onto the set of Beauty and the Beast.

Take a stroll through Central Park. Go on a fairy tale carriage ride. Row along the lake on a little boat. Ahhh New York ... you amaze us.

6. Tahiti, French Polynesia

This classic tropical destination – tiny islands, crystal-clear waters and quiet beaches – is the perfect landscape for two. Choose an over-water bungalow for the ultimate romantic experience, complemented by leisurely days of swimming, sunbathing and gazing out at the endless ocean.

5. Oahu, Hawaii

Hawaii is an obvious choice, and is the way we are spending Valentine's Day this year. It has spectacular beaches, gorgeous sunsets and just the best place to get away to warm weather and relax with your loved one.

4. Brugge , Belgium

Brugge in Belgium is effortlessly romantic. It's only a little town but absolutely quaint and perfect. Visit anytime of the year, it will be as romantic during the summer or the winter.

3. Paris

Paris may be the cliché choice, but that does not make it any less true! The stunning city has tucked away streets, delicious cafes and the smell of romance in the air. Why not take a visit to the romantic Eiffel Tower or add a love lock to the Pont de Art bridge.

2. Lake Louise, Alberta

Lake Louise has been named one of the top honeymoon destinations around the world and we can see why. It is pristine, cozy and has the most breathtaking views we have ever seen. Banff National Park's jewel is romantic, no matter what time you come, snow or shine.

1. Cinque Terre, The Italian Riviera

The rocky shores of the Italian Riviera belong in the pages of a romance novel. We feel that this would the number romantic setting to spend time with the one you love.
