Top Destinations for Couples to Travel! 💖

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to mean roses, crowded restaurants, or predictable gifts. Sometimes, the most romantic thing you can do is board a plane and fall in love with a new place together.

Whether you and your partner thrive on adrenaline, slow mornings, or deep conversations over beautiful scenery, the right destination can transform a simple trip into an unforgettable couples’ retreat. From romantic cities to dreamy beaches, these places for couples to travel are perfect for reconnecting, celebrating love, and creating moments that last long after the trip ends. 🫶🏻

And because love comes in many forms, we’ve included getaway ideas for best friends and solo travellers too! 🥰

1. Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo may be famous for its energy and neon lights, but for adventurous couples, its real magic begins when you escape the city for a night under the stars near Mount Fuji. Camp around the Fuji Five Lakes and wake up to cool morning air, quiet lakes and sweeping volcanic panoramas.

From July to early September, couples can take on the challenge of climbing Mount Fuji together, beginning the ascent at night and reaching the summit just in time for a spectacular sunrise.

2. Labuan Bajo (Komodo), Indonesia

For even more adventurous duos who believe romance is found in shared discovery, Labuan Bajo (Komodo) is one of the most exhilarating places to travel as a couple. Explore Komodo National Park, dive and snorkel in clear blue waters to see giant mantas, hike Padar Island, or go on a guided tour to see the world’s largest lizard, the Komodo dragon!

3. Iloilo City, The Philippines

Iloilo City’s relaxed pace, warm hospitality, and walkable charm make it ideal for couples who prefer calm conversations over packed itineraries.  

Spend unhurried afternoons along the Iloilo River Esplanade, explore heritage sites like Jaro Cathedral, enjoy comfort food such as La Paz Batchoy, or take an easy day trip to Guimaras Island for serene beaches. The absence of crowds makes every moment feel personal, turning simplicity into something deeply romantic. 

4. Shenyang, China

Shenyang is an underrated gem for couples who value rest, comfort and quiet indulgence. Spend entire days (or nights) together at 24/7 luxury spas, moving between hot pools, steam rooms, massage suites, nap lounges, and private cinemas without watching the clock. 

Then stroll through the serene grounds of the Shenyang Imperial Palace or Beiling Park, where the city’s calm pace makes slow, effortless romance easy. 

5. Nha Trang, Vietnam

Nha Trang is ideal for couples who love adrenaline‑filled experiences together. Visit VinWonders Nha Trang, one of Vietnam’s largest theme parks, and ride high-speed roller coasters, challenge yourself with extreme water slides, or soar above the landscape on one of the longest over-water ziplines in the region.  

Just three hours away, Dalat turns up the thrill with its famous alpine coaster, mountain ATV rides, and early‑morning hikes
to chase floating clouds.

6. Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a surprisingly intense playground for thrill‑seeking couples. Take off with parasailing or paragliding near Dragon’s Back, soaring above dramatic ridgelines and the South China Sea for an unforgettable rush. Complete the experience with rock climbing on Tung Lung Chau, speedboat rides in Victoria Harbour, or wakeboarding in Sai Kung, perfect for couples who bond best while chasing the next rush together.

7. Taipei, Taiwan

Wander hand-in-hand through Raohe or Shilin Night Market, where pepper buns, oyster omelettes, beef noodles, and desserts fill the air as the streets come alive after dark. Add romantic alleyways, cosy cafes and unbeatable value, and Taipei becomes a place where love and flavour meet effortlessly.

8. Ipoh, Malaysia

Ipoh is a cosy destination for foodie couples, where slow mornings and great food go hand in hand. Spend the day café-hopping around Old Town and New Town, stopping at heritage shophouse cafés and pairing it with visits to iconic kopitiams for silky white coffee and Nanyang breakfast sets. Between meals, enjoy the relaxed pace by wandering laneways, murals, and limestone backdrops.

Love comes in many forms, from late-night conversations to inside jokes and friends who show up for every version of you. Celebrating love can mean celebrating the people who know you best, and a trip with your closest friends can be a reminder that friendship is one of the purest and most meaningful forms of love there is.

9. Seoul, South Korea

Spend your days café‑hopping in Ikseon‑dong, shopping and people‑watching in Hongdae, and ending nights with K‑BBQ, karaoke, and midnight convenience store runs. It’s a city made for shared laughs, spontaneous plans, and memories that feel even better when experienced together.

10. Melbourne, Australia

A Melbourne road trip is perfect for a getaway with besties, where time in the car jamming out to each other’s playlists, singing badly, and talking about everything becomes just as memorable as the stops themselves. Drive the Great Ocean Road, pulling over at Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, and London Arch for dramatic coastal views and iconic group photos. With flexible detours, shared laughter between destinations, and no rush to be anywhere, the road trip turns friendship into the real highlight of the journey.

Solo travel can also be a quiet form of self‑love, where choosing yourself becomes the most romantic gesture of all. It’s about honouring your own pace, interests, and discovering that a getaway can feel just as meaningful when the love you are celebrating is your own.

11. Bali, Indonesia

Bali is a romantic destination for solo travellers, offering a soulful self‑love escape inspired by the film, "Eat Pray Love". Wander through Ubud’s rice terraces, join yoga retreats, or unwind on Canggu’s beaches. From spiritual healing to sunset cafés, Bali is the perfect place to reconnect with yourself.

12. Vienna, Austria

Vienna offers a romantic atmosphere perfect for solo explorers with a love for culture and elegance. Spend the day exploring the Schönbrunn Palace, Kunsthistorisches Museum or the Austrian National Library, and nights attending classical music concerts that celebrate the city’s artistic soul. Join a city walking tour to connect with fellow travellers and possibly meet someone new along the way.
