Not Just Another Pretty Place
For the Romantic traveler, a grand getaway is the perfect way to honor a special occasion or to pop the big question. But travelers of this ilk are about romance in the broader sense of the term—think idyllic sunsets, oceanside spa treatments, candlelit dinners, and sea breezes across bare shoulders—whether that be with a partner or the open horizon.
Romance is in the air! And not because it’s Valentine’s Day, or your anniversary, or your best friend’s wedding. For a Hopeless Romantic such as yourself, any day ending in “y” proves the perfect time to celebrate the ever-present force of LOVE in the world. And what better way to get swept up in a fantasy of romance and adventure than while on a dreamy, beachy vacation?
If you consider yourself a hopeless romantic, you’ll be looking for a spot to get away from “reality” and live out your epic fairytale, one where you’re the center of attention and every day is a sensory journey of scents, vistas, foods, and serene sounds. The lapping of waves upon the sand. The touch of a plush robe against your skin. The smell of plumeria in the warm air. The sun-kissed bronze of your cheeks after a day in the sun. The richness of chocolate cake and crisp champagne after every meal (hey, we said it’s a fairytale!)
The beauty of traveling as a Hopeless Romantic is that regardless of your destination, you see it through rose-colored glasses. After all, when you’re struck by the wonder and whimsy that accompanies infatuation —whether with a companion or the world—everything is beautiful, uplifting, and seemingly underscored with serenading violins.
So, to you Hopeless Romantics out there, we say Cheers! to putting your positive spin on things. Remember you don’t have to be celebrating LOVE in the romantic sense of the word. There’s plenty to love about yourself (maybe it’s time to book that wellness retreat), your pals (Girlfriends’ Getaways, anyone?), your family, AND your partner.
Whether you travel to say “I Do,” or to take some much-needed time to recharge and reconnect, there’s something so romantic about seeing your city slip away out the plane window, with new experiences on the horizon. Love is not a finite resource.
