Whether in the alleys of Paris, on the beaches of the Caribbean, or in the skies of Cappadocia, these journeys offer an unforgettable romantic odyssey, weaving memories that will last a lifetime!
For Europe (Paris, Venice, Santorini), aim for April-May or September-October. You’ll enjoy pleasant weather and lower prices, while avoiding the summer crowds. The Maldives, Thailand and the Caribbean are particularly pleasant from December to March, while Bora Bora is ideal from November to April during the dry season. For Bali, look for May to September, when the climate is least humid.
The key is to use your loyalty points wisely for flights and hotels. Book several months in advance and travel during low season. Don’t hesitate to mention your special occasion when booking: establishments often offer special attentions to couples celebrating an event.
The most memorable moments are often the simplest: a picnic at sunset in Santorini, an early morning stroll through the narrow streets of Venice or stargazing on a beach in the Maldives. The magic of a romantic location doesn’t necessarily depend on the budget.
Boutique hotels offer an intimate, personalized experience, perfect for short city breaks. All-inclusives are more suited to couples who want to relax without worrying about a daily budget, especially for longer beach breaks. For a truly romantic ambiance, look for adults-only resorts such as Secrets or Sandals, which guarantee a peaceful, child-free atmosphere.
