Traveling the with friends is great, and we all know that exploring solo can often times end up changing your life, but as wonderful as those moments are, there’s nothing like seeing the world with a bae on your arm. From fun filled days to steamy, romantic nights, traveling with the one you love is an experience like no other. Plus, you have a built in photographer to help you do it up for the ‘gram. These five baecation getaways were built for two, and perfect for creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Amalfi Coast
Italy’s Amalfi Coast has long been a playground for the rich and famous, but it’s also the perfect destination for couples looking to indulge in the finer things, and each other. Breathtaking scenery, picturesque villages, sun filled beaches and fine dining combine to put you in the mood for amor. Visit starting in mid April, and stay at the romantic, cliffside Punta Tragara Hotel in Capri. Stroll the romantic gardens of Villa Rufolo in the town of Ravello, and spend the day island hopping on a yacht, indulging in ancient thermal baths before returning to Capri to enjoy a delicious (and affordable!) dinner with a view at Ristorante Villa Margherita.Phuket
From affordability to adventure, a baecation to Thailand is always a good idea. Skip the hustle and bustle of Bangkok and head straight for the beaches of Phuket. Make the villas of Sri Panwa Resort your den of love as you spend your days island hopping, shopping, making new animal friends, and eating everything in sight. Once you get back to the resort, indulge in the stunning views as you get cozy during your couples massage and watch the sunset in each other’s eyes at Sri Panwa’s exclusive rooftop lounge Baba’s Nest.
Nosy Ankao
The Maldives is cool, but if you want your vacation – like your love – to be different from all the rest, you need to plan a vacation to Nosy Ankao island in Madagascar. Known as the Maldives of Africa, Nosy Ankao is home to amazing marine life that can only be found in the region, sandy beaches, magnificent forests, local culture, and more. Staying at Miavana Resort means that your experience on this untouched eco-paradise will be like no other, especially since the property has only 14 villas, making it feel like you’re on an island built for two.
Bermuda
Located just a short plane ride away from the East Coast, Bermuda is a lovers paradise pretty much all year long. Cambridge Beaches is the perfect home base for love as you dive shipwrecks, jetski, relax on sunset cruises, nosh on the island’s famous fish sandwiches at Woody’s, enjoy a private spa treatment in Prospero’s Cave, take in harbour views and happy hour cocktails at 1609 Bar and Restaurant and dine on fine local seafood cuisine at the Fairmont Southampton’s Ocean Club.
Big Sur
If you’re looking to do something different than the traditional beach getaway for your baecation, a glamping adventure in the woods of Big Sur, California is right up your alley. Now usually camping in the woods wouldn’t be seen as romantic, but this isn’t your average night out in the woods. At Ventana Big Sur Resort the glamping experience comes complete with a premium safari style tent (with daily housekeeping), a basket with a s’mores kit, mugs, tea, cutting board, cheese knife, bottle opener and wine glasses, a private guided hike, access to a sommelier wine and cheese hour, heated blankets and cozy wood burning fire pit so you and bae can snuggle under the stars.
