5 Luxury Destinations in Europe for a Romantic Getaway

EUROPE, LUXURY AIRLINES & CRUISES TOURS, LUXURY HOTELS, LUXURY TRAVEL DESTINATIONS

When planning a romantic getaway heading off to a secluded island resort isnā€™t everyoneā€™s idea of romantic. With Europe being home to some of the most beautiful islands and stunning cities in the world, hereā€™s 5 luxury destinations within Europe for you to enjoy a romantic break:

Paris

Beautiful white buildings, endless cobbles, delicious cheese boards and spending your nights drinking Merlot in quaint Montmatre cafes, Paris is known as the city of love for a reason. Enjoy a delicious afternoon tea at Laudree on the Champs De Elysee with some gourmet macaroons for desert then saunter down to the Jardin Des Tuilieres and admire the beauty of the city.

Rome + The Amalfi Coast

Not a city to be discounted as simply for art fans and history enthusiasts, Rome is most certainly a city for lovers. Enchanting, unspoilt and charming, Rome is both culturally and visually stunning. With candle lit tables for two in sun soaked piazzas, itā€™s the perfect city to indulge in delicious food and copious amounts of prosecco to celebrate your wedding. After a whirlwind city break, head to the Amalfi coast afterwards with Exsus Travel to extend your holiday in the picturesque towns enjoying some of Italyā€™s most beautiful views.

SantoriniĀ 

Breath-taking views, luxurious hotels, and idyllic white buildings shaping the landscape, Santorini is one of the most romantic locations in the world for sun seekers. Sip champagne watching the sun go down on one of the most photographed hills in the world before heading back for a dip in the infinity pool overlooking the bay.

Barcelona

Beautiful Barcelona is a wonderful honeymoon destination for couples who like to do it all. From the vibrant nightlife to spending days on the sun drenched beach to sampling some of Europeā€™s best shopping and some wonderful architecture. A trip to the Sagrada Familla is a must, along with heading to Park Guell to check out the wonderful mosaics.

VeniceĀ 

A city chosen by the one and only George Clooney for his wedding, Venice is most certainly on of the most luxury honeymoon locations in Europe. Enjoy a leisurely ride through the back street canals on a Gondola then chill out with an ice cold glass of the finest prosecco from Harryā€™s Bar in St Markā€™s Square.

With so many amazing locations, Europe is the ideal place to enjoy a luxury romantic getaway.

      I’ve visited Venice several times with my husband and kids. We love strolling around the little side streets and finding new restaurants and shops to explore. Have a great time in Venice!

    Drool… I love everything on this list, but Santorini is the spot I’ve been most aching to go. Every photo if it is out of this world.

      We loved Santorini! We spend three days in Oia, and it was very relaxing and of course very romantic. The sunsets at night are out of this world.

    Somehow none of these places occurred to me as a luxury destination, I guess that’s because they are rather close to me and I’ve been to them all. Oh no wait, not to Santorini but I was close. Loved them all, although I’d definitely avoid Venice in the summer šŸ™‚

      I can see that if you live near by. It’s the same for us here. People come from all over the world to spend a few days in Miami or Fort Lauderdale. I’ve never been to Venice in the summer, only in the fall or springtime.

      I heard of Sant Jordi Day in Barcelona, a day of books and romance. You’re right, I should go someday.

    In my mind nothing beats Paris – I keep meaning to go back because I remember finding the roof restaurant at the top of Pretempts and want to go back and take some pictures. Very romantic!

      Without a doubt, Paris ranks first in the list of the most romantic cities thanks to places like the Pretempts with such wonderful views.

  6. Santorini must be gorgeous, I’ve always wanted to go there! (Barcelona is great, although not my favourite place in Europe) Rome is another one on my list – can’t wait to explore the city in October! šŸ™‚

      You should travel to Santorini one day, you will be impressed with the beauty of the city just like I was. I’m glad you are going to Rome soon, it will be a great experience.

    Thanks for the list. Every place looks nice. But I better not share this with my wife or we will have problems:)

      All are incredible places, maybe your wife will want to go to all of them for a wedding anniversary, so you’ll really be in trouble.

      I’m sure you’ll love the contrast between the colors of the city and the blue sea, Santorini is one of my favorite destinations.

      Budapest and Istanbul are also very romantic cities, which certainly deserve to be included on the list.

      Spain and Italy are lovely countries; Both Barcelona and Venice are cities that reflect very well the spirit of these countries.

    If I choose from this list, its Barcelona without hesitation. Although Dubrovnik is romantic too:)
