The most romantic holiday destinations

When it comes to romantic getaways, St Lucia really hits the spot. This Caribbean island is all about luxury, making it a popular honeymoon destination. Stay in secluded resorts like the BodyHoliday hotel, which is surrounded by 32 acres of gardens and set right on the powder-white beach. The focus here is on wellness – treat yourself to spa treatments like lime and ginger body scrubs at the Wellness Centre, and plenty of fresh, healthy food in the restaurants. There also the adults-only Hideaway at Royalton St Lucia, which offers up rainfall showers, cosy DreamBeds™, and an infinity pool. Plus, there are tonnes of activities designed to bring you closer together in St Lucia, like zip-lining through the rainforest, or treating yourself to a dip in the mud baths at Sulphur Springs – the world's only drive-through volcano.

Think Rome and Venice are Italy’s most romantic holiday destinations? Think again. Sorrento has enough pretty scenery and date-night opportunities to make the rest of Italy jealous. Think intimate cruises to Capri, where you can snorkel in the warm waters and explore the narrow lanes of Capri Town. Or, ditch the beach and head to one of Sorrento’s famous bathing platforms, which are positioned under the cliffs and offer up panoramic sea views. TUI BLUE Nastro Azzurro is our pick for an adults-only escape in Sorrento. It perches on a cliffside high above the town, but thanks to a free shuttle bus, exploring below is easy. Closer to home, you can walk to the local village of Colli di Fontanalle in 20 minutes, where family-run bars and restaurants are perfect for an evening out of the hotel. Prefer a night in? Kick your evening off with a drink from the sunset bar, then head to the main restaurant, where – on most nights – you can dine from a buffet spread or pick a couple of courses from a menu.

Iceland’s cold climate makes it a dreamy option for a romantic holiday, with the country’s low temperatures giving you the perfect excuse to snuggle up to your partner in crime. Catch the northern lights flickering across the sky while hand-in-hand with your other half – we recommend going in between September and April for your best chances of spotting them – and take a dip in the Blue Lagoon to warm up. Explore Reykjavik, one of the coldest cities in the world, and snap selfies together in front of huge natural wonders like Gullfoss Waterfall.
