Romantic Destinations

If you and your boo are overdue for a vacation, we've got ideas—and seriously romantic getaways at that. It's time to feel the love again.

There's more to European romance than moonlit walks along the Seine and decadent meals in Tuscany. Just as swoon-worthy experiences can be found in the continent's quaint seaside towns, where authentic coastal dishes, atmospheric hotels, and gorgeous ocean views are a quiet stroll—preferably hand-in-hand—away.

Grab your partner/lover/husband/wife and pack your favorite weekender cause we've planned the perfect romantic getaway.

There’s a time and a place for staying in a big-name, high-design hotel, but when it comes to experiencing the best of the Emerald Isle—we’re talking greener-than-green rolling countryside, staggering sea views, and an unmatched level of hospitality—the country’s soul lies in its charming bed and breakfasts. If being treated to cozy fireplaces, storied antiques, friendly innkeepers, and some of the country’s best homemade breakfasts sounds like your perfect Irish vacation, these seven stays…
