Traveling with your significant other is one of the best ways to get to know them on a deeper level and strengthen your relationship. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing spa getaway, a private island escape or a luxurious adventure in the African bush, I’ve narrowed it down to some of my favorite hotels that are perfect for a romantic adventure abroad.
From Africa to North America, and everywhere in between, here are the most romantic hotels around the world!
Conrad Bora Bora Nui
Nestled beside the Motu To’opua lagoon, Conrad Bora Bora Nui is where I spent my 30th birthday with my boyfriend, Meyer. The five-star hotel gives you the chance to experience a swim-up cocktail bar, infinity pool, spa, four restaurants, and live entertainment.
For the truly romantic experience, stay in an overwater bungalow with the upgraded private pool, hot tub, and sun deck. Snuggle up with your loved one on a hammock under the stars and take in all the beauty that Bora Bora has to offer!
Constance Belle Mare Plage, Mauritius
Mauritius is one of the best tropical honeymoon destinations in the world. Surrounded by the Indian Ocean, it’s home to flawless white sand beaches and luxurious resorts.
The Constance Belle Mare Plage is incredible property for a romantic getaway. I highly recommend opting in for the “full board” option, so you don’t have to worry about any extra expenses creeping up on you!
As for activities, plan on diving, snorkeling, windsurfing, kayaking, glass bottom boat trips, and waterskiing. It’s the perfect destination for couples that love outdoor activities!
Ko’a Kea Hotel & Resort, Hawaii
Ko’a Kea is one of the top hotels in Kauai. The rooms are only a few steps from Po’ipu Beach and the resort gives you a chance to soak up the authentic essence of Hawaiian culture.
While Kauai is known to be one of the wettest islands in Hawaii, the area of Po’ipu is sunny for most of the year. So you’ll have more than enough good weather for long, lazy days at the beach!
If it does rain during your stay, you and your partner can head inside for some world-class pampering. Get a couples massage at the on-site spa, unwind in the lava rock hot tub or visit the award-winning Red Saly Restaurant and sample local Hawaiian dishes with a modern take.
Jack’s Camp, Botswana
Jack’s Camp is a romantic hotel in Botswana that’s perfect for couples that want to disconnect from the world for a few days. There’s no WiFi or electricity, and the hotel is styled with traditional 1940’s African colonial decor that will transport you to a bygone time.
The best part about staying here is the local meerkat colony that you visit on a game drive!
Auberge du Soleil, Napa Valley
Auberge du Soleil is a quintessential adult getaway in Napa Valley. It’s located on a 33-acre property and features 50 contemporary guestrooms and suites.
It’s the ultimate romantic hotel for couples who love wine, fine dining and don’t want to travel outside of the U.S. for a weekend getaway. Get a customized-wine tasting experience, cycle the Silverado Trail or enjoy a scenic hike!
Lion Sands Ivory Lodge and Treehouses, South Africa
Lion Sands is located in the heart of Kruger National Park, one of Africa’s largest game reserves. It’s home to four lodges, each with a different flair
The Ivory Lodge is remote but far from roughing it. The accommodations have a master bedroom, an en suite bathroom, private pool, and an oversize lounge with a fireplace.
If you feel like something a bit more adventurous and magical, stay in one of the tree houses and fall asleep to the sounds of the bush!
Amangiri, Utah
Amangiri is a beautiful property in Utah. The desert surrounds the suites, and design elements include white stone floors, an outdoor lounge with a fireplace and a beautiful pool that overlooks the landscape.
Start a fire and cuddle up with your partner for stargazing while sipping on a glass of wine.
During the day, you can explore the Grand Circle. Amangiri is within easy reach of the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, and Monument Valley, making it an ideal choice for couples who love the outdoors and want a luxurious getaway.

Since moving to Cape Town, I’ve got to experience some of the city’s best hotels. Tintswalo Atlantic is one of the most romantic hotels in South Africa,
Tucked away along the Atlantic coast, it’s a five-star boutique hotel that offers guests incredible views and seclusion. It feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
With decks overlooking the ocean and fireplaces to cozy up in front of, it’s the perfect place for a romantic getaway with your significant other!
