“Enjoying a sunset with your main squeeze is a romantic pastime the world over but if you want to take it to the next level, this activity becomes utterly unforgettable when done on a safari in Africa! Most lodges also offer unique Sundowner experiences at sunset – think romantic happy hour cocktails in the middle of the bush or on a vista – all while soaking up the daily wonder of the sun going down.”

“I’m actually getting married soon and our dream romantic honeymoon would be to spend the night under the stars while on safari. We both love hiking and camping so to spend the night out in the bush would be a dream. Lion Sands Game Reserve has a small collection of treehouses that are raised so that you can look over the trees out into the wild or get an unobstructed view of the marvelous night sky. What speaks to romance more than being isolated with your loved one in a beautiful destination?”

“My number one destination would be Iguaçu Falls. The amazing sights of this collection of hundreds of waterfalls is a perfect background for the unforgettable ”Will you marry me?” moment. Located in the division between Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay, it offers an opportunity to extend this major event with visits to these 3 countries. Enjoy tango lessons in Argentina, visit the exotic Atlantic Forest of Parque Nacional Ybycui in Paraguay, and end your romantic getaway celebrating the “I do” in Brazil, on Ipanema Beach, where the Girl From Ipanema song was composed.”

“When you think honeymoons most people picture lounging on the beach sipping Mai Tais. Well, the Maldives takes the experience to the next level. Private overwater bungalows, spa treatments on our deck, exclusive dining options, paddle boarding over calm clear water and so much more. The pristine beaches, coral reef gardens and the ultimate in scuba diving the Maldives offers incredible land and sea activities. For those up for a little excitement, one of the highlights is the year-round resident whale sharks. Perhaps yoga on the beach is more your pace. No matter your desire the Maldives is sure to offer calm tranquility for the start of the rest of your life together.”

“My favorite city, hands down, is New York City and the potential it offers for finding romantic moments with that special someone is limitless! With no shortage of restaurants and bars filled with cozy corners and dimly lit places, you can use the sometimes loud and crowded atmosphere to your advantage to move in closer to your sweetheart. When you are ready to break away from the crowds and get some air, NYC’s public green spaces are second to none whether you choose to take a rowboat out on the lake in Central Park, ice skate in Bryant Park, or catch a summer movie under the stars in Prospect Park. And let’s be honest, who can’t help but fall in love while soaking in the skyline from one of the city’s iconic observation decks (Empire State Building, Top of the Rock, One World Trade Center) or as you stroll, hand in hand, across the Brooklyn Bridge.”
