If you want to make this Valentine’s Day only about the two of you and are looking forward to tapping into the honeymoon spirit, that phase when nothing else matters but creating, nourishing and strengthening your bond, the best plan of action would be to purchase two tickets and take off to the many love destinations, far and near.
Picturesque Venice

Before Venice sinks, discover the city of canals. And if your loved one is by your side, even better! The gondolas are synonymous with Venice. Hire someone to serenade you and your beloved with the mellifluous sounds of a violin. If you are lucky, your gondolier might sing a haunting tune to heighten the beauty that fills you.
Go Goa
Goa is the ultimate stop for some rest, relaxation and tender loving! Put away your itinerary and just go with the flow. Share a drink snuggling in a hammock under the cool shade of a palm. Imagine time has stopped and walk on the beach. Surf, sand and the two of you is all that matters. Sit by a bonfire. Exclaim gleefully at all the quirky knick-knacks you find at flea markets. Try some seafood. At the end of day, find yourself a good spot on the beach to sit back and reminisce.
High on Shimla

Shimla sits silent and splendid amidst the majestic Himalayas. You and your sweetheart will literally walk on clouds when you arrive at this cool hill station. You can run around the oak and pine trees in true “Bollywood” style. You can take a ride in the train. A quaint train chugging in the middle of such a beautiful place is quite magical. You can later walk around hand in hand taking in the colonial buildings.
Romantic Paris
Paris is a must visit for all romantics. It is after all the City of Romance. Love is in the air and spreads easily. Sit at an outdoor café sipping some coffee. Go to a fromagier and taste different cheese. Walk along the city and as you get to know her, you will get to know each other all over again. Last but by no means the least, go up the Eiffel Tower and find out why most people choose to declare their love here.
The world is a treasure trove of romantic getaways. It doesn’t matter whether you go some place near or far, hot or cold, secluded or glamorous. It is all about being in love and relishing it.
