The Romantic Retreater

The Romantic Retreater

Unabridged time spent just the two of you, in lands that cultivate the senses and make the ‘real world’ but a distant memory. Here there are no worries, no burdens, nothing but a guilt-free stretch of time to spend doing exactly what you love, with who you love. For those looking for a slice of grown-up peace and quiet, this is our pick of where to hide out à deux.

Greek chic

Just like many an aristocrat before them, guests to the newly restored adults-only retreat, Domes Miramare, a Luxury Collection Resort in Corfu, will receive the kind of laid-back five-star service that allows them the space to truly be with themselves. Highlights include dining overseen by a Michelin-starred chef and chic waterfront suites just steps from the sublime private beach.

Connection & conversation

Rosewood Mayakoba ticks a lot of beachside bliss boxes: intimate dinners on private lawns, your own rooftop sundeck and plunge pool, not to mention scenic boat rides to the spa sitting on a private island. Yet, nestled between Cancun and Playa del Carmen means it also makes for the ideal gateway into the heart of Mayan culture - although, you may find yourself not wanting to leave the resort’s gates at all.
