Spending a night under the stars in a tent may sound romantic, but what happens when the creepy crawlies make an appearance? Gone are the days when simply being surrounded by nature was enough to spark romance. Today’s couples need destinations that not only offer stunning natural beauty but also provide luxury, comfort, world-class amenities, and a sense of style. Sure, many hotels feature rooms with cozy wood fireplaces and lush gardens, but does that alone make a hotel romantic? Bookmundi has handpicked a selection of romantic hotels that offer the perfect backdrop for couples looking to rekindle their love. Each hotel on this list exudes a uniquely romantic atmosphere, which is ultimately what makes them special.
Below we are listing some of the most romantic hotels in the world. Enjoy!
Qualia Resort, Hamilton Island, Australia
If you’re exploring Australia’s vast deserts, cities, rainforests, and beaches with your special someone, make sure to carve out time for the Whitsunday Islands. Located in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, Qualia Resort is one of the most stunning hotels on the planet. Its sea-view rooms offer breathtaking, uninterrupted vistas of the ocean. The Pebble Beach pool leads straight to the beach, leaving you torn between relaxing by the romantic pool or walking along the equally enchanting beach. The Long Pavilion restaurant serves exquisite dishes, including a delectable tasting menu, while the Champagne sunset cruises are a highlight. According to travelers, the most romantic experience at the resort is taking a trip to a deserted island where the hotel sets up a private picnic complete with beach mats, towels, gourmet food, and wine. Can it get any more romantic than that?
Belmond Hotel Cipriani, Venice, Italy
In 2014, George Clooney chose the Belmond Hotel Cipriani to host his guests. Situated a little away from the bustling San Marco, it’s just a 4-minute ride via private launch. While the Belmond Hotel Cipriani is certainly on the expensive side, its luxurious charm makes it well worth the splurge. With a massive pool, stunning gardens, and a tranquil setting, the hotel exudes romance. Its secluded location enhances the intimate atmosphere, and the hotel also offers private boat tours to explore hidden gems across Guidecca Island.
Beldi Country Club, Marrakech, Morocco
The Beldi Country Club is an ideal retreat for lovers and couples. It’s just about as good as it gets and the best part is that there is no internet in any of the rooms. No more social media distractions or business emails to reply to while you’re on a holiday with your loved one! Each villa comes equipped with outdoor bathtubs, private gardens and fireplaces, and the resort has more than enough amenities to ensure that you don’t feel the need to leave the hotel during your stay.
Ladera, St. Lucia
Ladera has just 32 suites, with each suite having just three walls. Instead of the 4th wall, each suite offers scintillating unobstructed views of the gorgeous Pitons, without compromising on privacy. Things like phones and TVs simply don’t exist here. It’s more about listening to birds and tree frogs from the luxuries of your villas and enjoying the delights of private plunge pools. The hotel also features a “romance concierge” program, whips up delightful cocktails and provides “massage your mate” spa treatments.
The Four Seasons, Bora Bora
It really wouldn’t be possible to write about the most romantic hotels around the world without mentioning the Four Seasons Resort in Bora Bora, considered to be one of the most epic properties in the world. Beautiful thatched huts rise out of the midst of a clear blue lagoon offering guests unobstructed views of the Mount Otmanu and Mount Pahia, the twin peaks of an extinct volcano. Apart from picture perfect views, each bungalow also offers complete privacy. One of the first things that your eyes fall upon the moment you enter the room is the Romance Menu, and you realize that you’re truly in for a treat. Mornings are dominated by lavish breakfasts on private terraces, while the evenings are dedicated to Polynesian fire dancing programs. We recommend you to book a floating love seat that gets tethered to your bungalow. This allows you to drift away into the blue lagoon without having to care about anything else.
Hotel Wailea, Maui, Hawaii
Hotel Wailea is one of the top destinations for romantics visiting the Hawaiian Islands. Considered to be a major attraction in its own right, this 72-room wonder is spread over 15 acres of Zen-inspired gardens at a height of 300 feet above sea level, which means that it also offers beautiful views of the neighboring islands. Each room at the hotel is huge, and each room features amenities such as private lanais, deep soaking tubs and open-air showers. The adults-only policy means that there are no children around, and the streamside gazebo massages are simply phenomenal.
Monaci delle Terre Nere, Sicily, Italy
Monaci delle Terre Nere is located on the slopes of Mt. Etna in Sicily. It is actually a boutique hotel that is set in an old vineyard estate and has just 10 rooms. The hotel’s pool has actually been cut into steppes in Mt. Etna, and hiking through the organic farms in the property is one of the best things to do. Get lost with your loved one in an orange grove, sit by the pool, stare off into the distant ocean or spend hours looking into the night sky. The pleasures to be found may be very simple, but the luxuries are certainly on par with the very best properties. Don’t forget to try out the orange and grape juices. They are pressed from estate’s orchards and are known to be incredible.
Relais Bourgondisch Cruyce, Bruges, Belgium
The Relais Bourgondisch Cruyce is located on the medieval canals of Bruges and is considered to be one of the most romantic hotels around the world. It was built way back in the 16th century and features a stained glass and timber façade, which is majorly responsible for giving the property its timeless and romantic feel. Relais Bourgondisch Cruyce is very popular among the rich and famous, and it truly knows how to spoil its guests through sumptuous meals, delightful comforts and outlandish extravaganzas. Ralph Lauren linen awaits you in your rooms while original artwork from Gustav Klimt and Henri Matisse tantalizes and seduces all kinds of art lovers.
