By Laura Henry
This is why we’ve put together a guide with the best ideas for romantic getaways that won’t
stress you out to plan. All in a variety of price points. From staycations to beachside getaways to
cozy cabins and everything in between—you are sure to find inspiration for your vacation with
your love.
Nothing brings life into a relationship like getting away from it all with your partner. Sometimes
the monotony of everyday life can start to make you feel like your relationship is a bit stagnant
too. But that is nothing a little time away can’t solve. Getting away from life, reconnecting with
your partner, and enjoying an experience together is imperative for the health of your
relationship. But planning a vacation together can feel stressful, be costly, and get
overwhelming.
This is why we’ve put together a guide with the best ideas for romantic getaways that won’t
stress you out to plan. All in a variety of price points. From staycations to beachside getaways to
cozy cabins and everything in between—you are sure to find inspiration for your vacation with
your love.
The Staycation
This is the perfect idea when traveling feels too stressful. Look up a nice hotel in your
city and stay for a night or two, get a reservation at a restaurant you’ve never been to
before, or catch a show. Looking to do something adventurous and a little spicy? Go to
the hotel alone to check in, get all dressed up, and go down to the bar for the drink. Let
your partner come in and ‘meet you’ at the bar.
Sometimes, all you and your partner need is a night away from all the stresses and
reminders of everyday life. A staycation is a great way to get away without doing a lot
and ignite that spark.
The Cabin Away
What could be more romantic than a beautiful little cabin in the woods? Cozy up with
your sweetie in a little cabin far far away from the maddening crowds. Pile up the car
with groceries, wine, and board games. Unplug from the stresses of everyday life and
just focus on your time with the person you love.
Cook an elaborate meal together, read together, or just enjoy the peace and quiet that
comes with being in the woods.
Pro-tip? Choose a cabin that features a hot tub. The nights might cool off, but you can
keep things steamy with your love.
The Beach Side Soirée
Some people think of one thing when it comes to planning a romantic getaway, and that
is a tropical destination—especially when the colder months are getting you down. Grab
your suitcase, a cute vacation bag, and your sunscreen, and hit the beach. Whether
you’re headed across the world, or just a few states over, a reset in the sun can be just
what you need.
Lounge all day, go scuba diving, ride horses on the beach, or just sit back and sip on a
cocktail. Beach destinations have something for every sort of traveler.
The All-Inclusive Adventure
Want to eliminate as much stress as possible from your trip? Consider an all-inclusive
resort to take the thinking out of the equation. With an all-inclusive resort, you’ve paid
for everything upfront, so now all you have to do is relax and enjoy. No one wants to be
fussing with their credit cards, or wondering if the place you’re sitting at is within the
budget. Paying for an all-inclusive experience ahead of time can help you to have a truly
relaxing experience.
All-inclusive resorts are the ultimate ‘set it and forget it’ of the vacation world.
The Tent Under The Stars
For the adventurous, there is romance to be found in the primal grasp of nature. Hike to
a remote location and pitch a tent to really reconnect with your partner. Camping may be
a burden to some, but to others, there is truly no better romantic experience than being
able to rough it with the one they love.
Build a fire together, toast marshmallows, and look up at the many splendid stars. Go for
hikes together, or even forage in the woods. There are so many ways to enjoy your time
on a camping trip. Reset by reconnecting with nature and your partner in the calm of the
woods.
The Weekend In the Big City
Do you and your partner already live somewhere where the living is slow? Maybe you’re
looking for some excitement in your romantic getaway? Going away to an exciting city
may be the perfect idea to bring a little spark to your vacation. Whether it be New York
City, Los Angeles, or even Berlin, there is vibrancy and life around every corner when
you are in a metropolis.
When you’re in a big city, always go for the experiences you can't have elsewhere.
Broadway shows, cabarets, burlesque performances, comedy clubs, and discos are all
nights out that you won’t get just anywhere. Try new cuisine, or cozy up to a trendy
cocktail bar. When in Rome (or NYC, LA, Chicago, London)...
It’s Not What You Do, It’s Who You Do It With
Maybe you have a month off to spend traversing the planet with your partner, or maybe you just
have a weekend. No matter the time, location, or price point, there is so much to be gained from
spending time away to reconnect and revitalize your relationship. Camp out under the stars,
travel to a new city, rent that cute cabin, catch some rays on the beach, or just kick back and
relax. You’re doing it right, no matter how you do it.
