5 Romantic Destinations for a Valentine's Vacation
Here is our ultimate list of the best Valentine’s Day destinations. Read on for the best ideas and find the perfect romantic destination for your trip for two.
Granada: The Majestic Alhambra
The city of Granada exudes the unique Andalusian charm, with its stunning architecture and hidden corners. Explore the Alhambra, see the Arab baths, unwind at one of the tearooms on Elvira Street, and watch the sunset from the Mirador de San Nicolás.
Things to Do:
WANDER THROUGH THE ALHAMBRA
You may spend hours roaming around the Alhambra grounds and the different garden sections. It’s like you have travelled back in time or to a distant exotic and unknown location.
LISTEN TO MAGICAL FLAMENCO MUSIC
In Granada, you can hear the passion in every word, strum, and stride of flamenco. A Flamenco performance is about more than just the beautiful dance skill; it's about the song's lyrics, the astonishing range of the singer's voice, the traditional guitar playing, and the appreciative clapping and stomping.
A Place to stay:
Alhambra Palace Hotel
The Hotel Alhambra Palace is located in the historical, tourist city of Granada, Spain, near the University of Granada—a culturally rich, metropolitan setting in Spain's most visited region.
Hotel Alhambra Palace is ideal for business and leisure travellers due to its great location, useful services, and affordable costs. It has a sleekly contemporary but traditional look and several on-site conveniences to please even the weariest of travellers. Each room has carefully picked wall art enhanced tastefully with attractive wooden furniture and warm, earth-toned tones. Modern conveniences such as a flat-panel TV with premium cable channels, a direct-dial telephone, an air conditioner with temperature control, and free WiFi keep visitors engaged, connected, and delighted.
Positano: The Pearl of Italy
It would be a near-impossible task to find a site on the Amalfi Coast that isn't charming, but Positano is a village that may be the most romantic of them. This elegant coastal town combines pastel-coloured houses that ooze down the hillside, meandering alleys, lovely beaches, and startlingly blue waters, not to mention simply stunning sunsets and luxury Mediterranean resorts.
Positano is one of those places that was tailor-made for a romantic getaway, with a skyline that still appears the same as it did a century ago due to strict building restrictions that have kept contemporary development out. What more do you need when there is nothing else to do besides tour the local markets and stores, dine, spend time on the beach, and take in the views?
Things to Do:
SPEND A DAY ON THE BEACH
A day at the beach on a sunbed is an excellent way to spend quality time with your lover. Sitting in the Italian sun with your sweetheart and a refreshing drink is quite romantic, and the breathtaking vistas of this seaside splendour add to the romance.
TAKE A BOAT RIDE
Boat rides are a terrific way to appreciate the sights of Positano, and they also happen to be a romantic excursion. This is also one of the greatest ways to view the hamlet in all of its majesties. The charming coloured cottages, the massive mountains in the backdrop, and even the beach with colourful umbrellas can be seen from the water. The views from the sea are as picturesque as they get.
Other things to consider: Visit the local markets and marvel at the ancient but lovely architecture.
A Place to stay:
COVO DEI SARACENI
The magnificent position of Covo del saraceni provides visitors with unrivalled views of Italy's stunning Amalfi coast, which you may appreciate from the private patio.
