FEATURED ROMANTIC SPOT
#2 Seoul, South Korea
Seoul may seem like an unlikely ‘romantic destination’ but there is so much life and energy in this city. I remember one night in particular when my (then) boyfriend and I had had a bit too much soju to drink and we were running down the streets of Seoul so fast that the lights were a blur and the music from the nori-bhangs was wafting through the air and we stopped and danced slow and close in the busy streets of Seoul and it was lovely, urban romance.

246. Caño Cristales, Colombia
Well this is a place we’ve never been but it looks so amazing we had to put it out there. This is the most colorful river in the world but only for a short time throughout the year (roughly September - November) when the aquatic life is in bloom. It is still a rough, rustic area that was closed to the public for a number of years due to FARC guerrilla activity but opened again in 2009 - it is still strongly recommended to travel with a group. Despite this, what a wonder of the world a definite spot for the wish list!

245. San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
Is there anything more romantic than roaming the twisted cobblestone streets of a stunning colonial town? We don’t think so. This place is just a feast for they eyes with it’s vibrant color palette, old architecture, smells and sounds. You’ll find markets and horses and cafes. Wander down to the main plaza and just people watch… there are lots of galleries and fabulous restaurants. There are also plentiful celebrations/festivals in San Miguel de Allende. This is a great spot for a romantic getaway.
244. Belitung, Indonesia
Are you looking for a romantic beach getaway? Look no further. Belitung Island is a real paradise, clear waters, white sand beaches… the water is calm and and did I mention clear?. This is a really magical place of place of relaxation, of huge granite stones… a place of delicious seafood and picturesque settings. There are surrounding islands to explore as well (Burung, Lengkuas) it is easy to loose track of time here. If you are looking for a peaceful romantic trip with your loved you’ve found it.
243. Ubud Hanging Garden Resort, Bali
A luxury resort nestled in the lush, forested valley, 30 minutes outside of Ubud with stunning views and first class service. This place is fantastic!. Think infinity pools stretching out into views of the Balinese jungle and wild monkeys that come to visit. This is a place to splurge on your honeymoon or after a long journey through Indonesia. It’s expensive but isn’t romance worth it!?
242. Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia
What is it about waterfalls that is so damn romantic? Just look at this place, it’s fantastic isn’t it? Sixteen interlocking lakes sitting in a lush forest - it’s simply made for romance. Walking the pathways through this park is just wonderful… that said, it can be quite busy especially in the summer. For a better experience go early or go in the off season. You can visit this place in the fall or the winter as well as the summer for a more quiet, romantic experience.
