Elevate your romantic getaway with unforgettable experiences

Stay in a Finnish glass igloo to watch the Northern Lights

A stay at Villa Spirit in Levi can include a night in a glass igloo, where you can drift off to sleep in a luxurious bed while admiring the starry arctic sky and, hopefully, the Aurora Borealis. Experiences on offer here and in the surrounding area include dining in an ice restaurant, snowshoeing, riding Finnish horses in the forest, a snow sauna, ice floating, and an evening with a geophysicist.

Dine in a grotto in Thailand

Nestled under an ancient limestone cliff on the edge of divine Phranang Beach, Rayavadee Krabi’s magical spot for leisurely lunches and twilight dinners is The Grotto. Like nowhere else on Earth, this dining destination has a fabulous location on the edge of Krabi's National Marine Park, plus award-winning architecture evoking the atmosphere of a southern Thai village.

Watch the sun rise over Ha Long Bay      

This northeast Vietnamese UNESCO site, with its rainforest-topped, towering limestone islands, is best discovered by small cruise boat. Spend a night aboard then wake to see the sun rise above you. You can also go kayaking here and enjoy incredible snorkelling.

Go hot air ballooning over Napa Valley      

Taking to the air is an unforgettable way to experience the lush rolling hills and gorgeous coastline north of San Francisco, famous for its hillside vineyards and high-end restaurants. Flights launch just after dawn so that you can catch one of the splendid sunrises here.

See wildlife on safari and treat your loved one to a special gift  

Offering an exceptional safari experience, Cheetah Plains Lodge in South Africa’s celebrated Sabi Sand Nature Reserve offers a fully personalised experience in gorgeous villas, delivered by a host, a butler, a culinary team, a spa therapist, an expert field guide, and a tracker team. Those looking for a special memento of their trip can even sign up for a session with the in-house gemologist and jeweller.

Go wine-tasting at Tinos in Mykonos with Domes

Get away together to Domes Noruz Mykonos, an adults-only boutique lifestyle retreat with a focus on curated experiences and meaningful interaction with local heritage – the likes of urban walking tours, rural excursions, musical interludes, and gastronomy workshops. A real highlight is the wine-tasting boat trip to the hidden gem of Tinos Island with its pretty vineyards.

Enjoy Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Night at Sea experience

Virgin’s groundbreaking, adults-only cruise ships have the feel of sleek yachts and thrilling entertainment with festival-like line-ups created in consultation with leading producers, directors, choreographers, and artists. Its Scarlet Nights are immersive celebrations of the fabled love between the mysterious Goddess of the Sea and the sailor who won her heart: think pop-up circus performances, karaoke, live music, and a pool and dance party.
