Traveling with your significant other is one of the best ways to get to know them on a deeper level and strengthen your relationship. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing spa getaway, a private island escape or a luxurious adventure in the African bush, I’ve narrowed it down to some of my favorite hotels that are perfect for a romantic adventure abroad.

From Africa to North America, and everywhere in between, here are the most romantic hotels around the world!

Conrad Bora Bora Nui

Nestled beside the Motu To’opua lagoon, Conrad Bora Bora Nui is where I spent my 30th birthday with my boyfriend, Meyer. The five-star hotel gives you the chance to experience a swim-up cocktail bar, infinity pool, spa, four restaurants, and live entertainment.

For the truly romantic experience, stay in an overwater bungalow with the upgraded private pool, hot tub, and sun deck. Snuggle up with your loved one on a hammock under the stars and take in all the beauty that Bora Bora has to offer!

Constance Belle Mare Plage, Mauritius

Mauritius is one of the best tropical honeymoon destinations in the world. Surrounded by the Indian Ocean, it’s home to flawless white sand beaches and luxurious resorts.

The Constance Belle Mare Plage is incredible property for a romantic getaway. I highly recommend opting in for the “full board” option, so you don’t have to worry about any extra expenses creeping up on you!

As for activities, plan on diving, snorkeling, windsurfing, kayaking, glass bottom boat trips, and waterskiing. It’s the perfect destination for couples that love outdoor activities!

Ko’a Kea Hotel & Resort, Hawaii

Ko’a Kea is one of the top hotels in Kauai. The rooms are only a few steps from Po’ipu Beach and the resort gives you a chance to soak up the authentic essence of Hawaiian culture.

While Kauai is known to be one of the wettest islands in Hawaii, the area of Po’ipu is sunny for most of the year. So you’ll have more than enough good weather for long, lazy days at the beach!

If it does rain during your stay, you and your partner can head inside for some world-class pampering. Get a couples massage at the on-site spa, unwind in the lava rock hot tub or visit the award-winning Red Saly Restaurant and sample local Hawaiian dishes with a modern take.

Jack’s Camp, Botswana

Jack’s Camp is a romantic hotel in Botswana that’s perfect for couples that want to disconnect from the world for a few days. There’s no WiFi or electricity, and the hotel is styled with traditional 1940’s African colonial decor that will transport you to a bygone time.

The best part about staying here is the local meerkat colony that you visit on a game drive!

Auberge du Soleil, Napa Valley

Auberge du Soleil is a quintessential adult getaway in Napa Valley. It’s located on a 33-acre property and features 50 contemporary guestrooms and suites.

It’s the ultimate romantic hotel for couples who love wine, fine dining and don’t want to travel outside of the U.S. for a weekend getaway. Get a customized-wine tasting experience, cycle the Silverado Trail or enjoy a scenic hike!

Lion Sands Ivory Lodge and Treehouses, South Africa

Lion Sands is located in the heart of Kruger National Park, one of Africa’s largest game reserves. It’s home to four lodges, each with a different flair

The Ivory Lodge is remote but far from roughing it. The accommodations have a master bedroom, an en suite bathroom, private pool, and an oversize lounge with a fireplace.

If you feel like something a bit more adventurous and magical, stay in one of the tree houses and fall asleep to the sounds of the bush!

Amangiri, Utah

Amangiri is a beautiful property in Utah. The desert surrounds the suites, and design elements include white stone floors, an outdoor lounge with a fireplace and a beautiful pool that overlooks the landscape.

Start a fire and cuddle up with your partner for stargazing while sipping on a glass of wine.

During the day, you can explore the Grand Circle. Amangiri is within easy reach of the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, and Monument Valley, making it an ideal choice for couples who love the outdoors and want a luxurious getaway.

Tongabezi Lodge

Tongabezi Lodge, Zambia

I’ve stayed in a lot of amazing hotels all over the planet, but Tongabezi Lodge in Zambia truly swept me off my feet. During my stay, I fell asleep listening to the hippos and woke up in a tree house with monkeys swinging on the nearby trees.

Elephants crossed the street at sunset, and we sat on a river raft and sipped tea as we watched crocodiles cruise down the river!

The biggest draw to the resort is closeness to Victoria Falls. You can take guided tours or book your own. I took a microlight flight over the falls, and it was one of the coolest things I have ever done in my life.

Tintswalo Atlantic, South Africa

Since moving to Cape Town, I’ve got to experience some of the city’s best hotels. Tintswalo Atlantic is one of the most romantic hotels in South Africa,

Tucked away along the Atlantic coast, it’s a five-star boutique hotel that offers guests incredible views and seclusion. It feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

With decks overlooking the ocean and fireplaces to cozy up in front of, it’s the perfect place for a romantic getaway with your significant other!

La Loma Lodge is an incredible remote getaway in Bocas Del Toro on Bastimentos Island. It’s one of the most magical accommodation experiences I’ve had and is an incredible romantic getaway in Panama.

The property is only accessible by boat, and it stretches across 23 hectares of tropical forest, groves of cacao, banana, and coconut. You’ll also be on the border of the national marine park, and a short boat ride away from the beach!

The rooms are tucked away in the jungle, and the showers are private with a view of the surrounding landscape. If you book for Valentine’s Day, you’ll get treated to a delicious dessert and an amazing dinner!

Ventana Big Sur

Ventana Big Sur, California

On my California coast road trip, I stopped off at Ventana Big Sur, a woodsy-chic resort right off the Pacific Coast Highway, for a few days of relaxation. It’s a luxury resort that features 60 guestrooms, two outdoor pools and all the bells and whistles you’d expect.

With each room designed to be a sanctuary, it’s the perfect option if you want to plan a romantic getaway and pretend that you and your partner are the only two people in the world. I highly recommend booking the Cottage House for couples.

It’s a free-standing 722-square-foot house and is the epitome of an ultra-luxe escape!

From the Wolwedans Dunes Lodge in Namibia, the vast area of Sossusvlei feels boundless, set atop a dune plateau, the panoramic view is unforgettable. Couples planning a romantic getaway can choose from the eighteen bedrooms at Dunes Lodge or splurge on the exclusive Mountain View Suite!

You’ll have an unforgettable view of the Namibian landscape, and you can book a massage that you can enjoy from the comfort of your chalet. During the day, you can go on a guided game drive, relax at the pool or watch the sunrise from the sky with an air balloon ride. Did I mention amazing star-gazing at night?!

Giraffe Manor

Giraffe Manor in Kenya is one of the top hotels in the world for a reason. It transports travelers back to the 1930s and lets you experience a time that’s been long forgotten.

The hotel is incredibly preserved and sits on top of 140 acres of land. With only ten rooms available, it’s an intimate and luxurious escape.

You can unwind with couple massages and enjoy a three-course fine dining meal that you can share with the local giraffe population that calls the hotel’s grounds their home.

Ion Hotel

Ion Hotel, Iceland

Sometimes a hotel is an experience in itself, and that’s exactly what the Ion Hotel in Iceland is- an experience. It’s located an hour outside of the Reykjavik and is an eco-friendly hotel that’s won awards for sustainability and design.

Hot springs surround Ion, and even the standard rooms have incredible views of the lava fields towards Thingvellir National Park. It’s a cozy romantic getaway and is one of the best places to see the Northern Lights!

Korakia Pensione was dubbed one of the “Sexiest Hotels in America” by Forbes. Located in Palm Springs, it seamlessly blends the Mediterranean-style you can expect from Morocco’s seaside town of Tangier.

You and your partner can pamper yourselves at the spa, curl up with a book in the vintage library lounge or go for a plunge in the heated pools. Once the day comes to an end, you can lie out on the Moroccan daybeds for an evening of stargazing or keep warm around one of the fire-pits.

Bellevue Palace, Switzerland

The Bellevue Palace in Bern is one of the best hotels for couples who want to feel like royalty. Located in the gorgeous and historic part of the city, you’ll be close to all the top attractions.

After a day of exploring, you’ll want for nothing at Bellevue Palace. The rooms come with complimentary Swiss chocolate, a luxurious bathroom with all the amenities you’ll need (plus heated floors!), and you’ll wake up to an incredible view of the Swiss mountains in the distance!
