When you are a couple heading out on holiday you have two key advantages over a larger family or friends group. Firstly, you only need to book something that the two of you will enjoy, you don’t have to make sure that any other family members are happy. Secondly, if necessary,you can usually travel light and have a little more flexibility about when and where you can go.
Here are four holiday ideas that are perfect for a couple to try out together.
Activity Holiday
If you are interested in a particular sport such as skiing, windsurfing or horse-riding, then you can take a holiday that is dedicated to the activity. This only works of course, if you are both keen on the same thing, as otherwise one person will have very large chunks of their day to fill.
If your interests run in tandem however, then you can either spend your holiday doing something that you already love, for example you could take a riding holiday through the South of France. Alternatively you could try something completely new, but that you have always hankered after, such as white water rafting. Either way a holiday like this will see you return home refreshed and invigorated.
Safari Quest
Travelling to somewhere like Africa on safari usually involves vaccinations and being aware of a number of safety issues. This can often be an easier holiday therefore, for a couple who don’t have small children.
Safari holidays also have much to offer in terms of variety. There are camping, walking and luxury safaris to choose from, as well as specific options such as bird watching, photographic, hot air balloon or even culture and history safaris. This means that you can cater the getaway very much to what you particularly want to see or experience.
Relaxing Resort
If relaxation is foremost in your mind then you can never go wrong with an all-inclusive holiday resort. Couples Resorts in the Caribbean are perfect if you want the peace and tranquillity that comes from a child-free environment.
On a holiday such as this you don’t have to worry about any additional expenses, apart from spending-money, and you can enjoy your time exploring the local area or relaxing by the pool or on the beach. This is the perfect way for a couple to spend some time together while topping up their tan and catching up on that stack of novels. The fact that the cocktails also flow freely, just adds to the appeal.
City Exploration
A city break, whether for a weekend or longer, is a perfect getaway for couples. Your days can be spent sightseeing, shopping and learning about local culture. Your nights are free for theatre, dining out and visiting local clubs and bars.
Romance is usually also on the cards with a city break, as you are often visiting some of the most iconic destinations such as Paris, Florence or Barcelona.
All four of these destinations are perfect for couples. What’s more they also offer amazing locations to either pop the question, or follow up the big day with a fabulous honeymoon. When you have the option of travelling off-season or outside of the school holidays, you will also find that you are able to book your vacation at a much lower price.
Couples holidays are also ideal whatever your age, so don’t let that be a limitation. Whether you are in the first flush of romance or marking a special anniversary, then booking time alone together whatever the destination, is the perfect celebration.
