Live in the moment.
Instead of sharing photos and videos on the social networking sites during your vacation, take this time away from it all and spend memorable moments together. You can share the happy memories from the trip after you’re home.
With all the responsibilities in life, a short break is definitely rewarding. But most of the time, when the actual decision has to be made as to which location or city to take the vacation in, the mind simply goes blank. Of course, there are endless possibilities when it comes to taking a vacation, but the destination can only be decided as per your likes. If a person isn’t into adventure sports, asking them to go bungee jumping or skydiving is pointless, right? And since this is a couple’s vacation, inputs from both the partners is required. So before you can make your final decision, get a pen and a paper, get cozy inside the bed, and find some vacation spots for couples.
9 Types of Vacations for a Young Couple
Whenever we wish to take a vacation, there are countless possibilities and plans to choose from. From breathtaking beaches to magnificent mountains, there is no limit to where you two can spend quality time together. Which is why, apart from providing you with some amazing and best vacation spots for young couples, we have also given you ideas on the type of vacation.
1. Cruise
There are many couples cruises that offer amazing voyages to the Caribbean, Spain, Honolulu, Portugal, China, the Bahamas, Canada, Europe, South America, Alaska, and many more places. You can get national and international cruises that are 4, 5, and even 8 days long. There are tons of activities to be enjoyed on and off the ship for couples. With amazing prices, you can actually experience the voyage over the ocean, have the best meals on and off the ship, and visit a completely new country/city. This is a great idea for couples as you get the open sea, the cool breeze, and the love of your life by your side. Do you need anything else in life?
2. Sightseeing
Whether it’s exotic wildlife or tall buildings, a sightseeing trip is a must for every couple. Not only you will explore new places, but it’ll be an unforgettable experience. Some of the popular destinations for a city sightseeing tour are Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York, Niagara Falls, Grand Canyon, and Honolulu. On the other hand, for nature trips, there’s nothing more exciting than a national park. Of course, if you’re a history buff, search for small towns and cities to quench your thirst for knowledge.
3. Wine Tasting
Explore Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley in California like never before. There are many wine country packages for couples that include hotel reservations, sightseeing, wine tasting (of course), hot air balloon rides, golf and spa packages, and scrumptious meals. You can visit different vineyards, taste the wines on the estates, and also get the opportunity to take a train ride to Napa Valley. Along with tasting and sipping wine, why not visit a 61 acre Quarryhill Botanical Garden in Sonoma Valley, where there are large numbers of endangered plants from Asia. And to top it all off, you can even fly with your sweetheart on a vintage aircraft ride. Isn’t that exciting!
4. Theme Park
Of course, Disneyland, Disney World, Universal Studios, and Six Flags are always the top-ranking theme parks visited by people across the globe. For a young, adventurous couple, perhaps exploring other parks may prove helpful. Visit Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio (it’s known as the roller coaster capital of the world), Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysburg, Pennsylvania for some old-fashioned fun, Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels, Texas (65-acre water park), or to King’s Island in Mason, Ohio.
5. Road Trip
Nobody can turn down a road trip; whether it’s an impromptu idea or otherwise. Of course, if you’re going to travel for a short distance, you may not have to plan ahead of time. On the other hand, a cross-country trip does require a lot of thought and planning into it. Besides the amazing company, you need to pack comfortable, weather-appropriate clothes, a camera, toiletries, pillows and blankets, water and snacks for the road, a smashing playlist, and most importantly, a trustworthy travel app (maps, restaurants, etc.). Once you have all these essentials sorted, the next thing to do is head out into the open roads; the adventures will follow.
Depending on where you reside, pick destinations such as national parks, gorgeous mountain ranges, popular beaches, or even small towns to find excellent roads to drive on. Obviously, the most important part of a road trip is the journey, and definitely not the final destination. So take your time, sing, laugh, and enjoy this time together.
6. Safari
A safari vacation doesn’t come cheap. So the most efficient way to cut cost is to travel off-season. As the lodge rates drop by 40% in East and southern Africa, you can be sure to get the best of everything. Visit Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve in late May, the Samara Private Game Reserve and the Addo National Elephant Park from May to September, go to Chobe National Park from August to October, explore the Bwindi Forest National Park in Uganda from June to August and December to February, visit South Luangwa National Park in eastern Zambia from January to April, or take a self-driven safari in Kruger National Park from May to September.
7. Beach
A beach vacation is always among the top 5 vacation spots for young couples. The superb sun shining, the cool water, and the beautiful sandy beach; isn’t life just perfect! If you stay in a city where there are no beaches, then what are you waiting for? Book your tickets to Hawaii, Thailand, Australia, Greece, the Caribbean, Bora Bora, Aruba, or Fiji; or better yet, drive to San Diego, Los Angeles, Miami, Kiawah Island (South Carolina), or Sarasota. Have fun playing beach sports, go scuba diving, whale watching, fishing, or parasailing. You can even take a moonlight walk in the nights after dinner, lay on the beach and watch the starry sky, and sip wine as you’re wrapped up in a blanket.
8. Spa
For a quiet, yet totally relaxed and rejuvenated vacation, plan a weekend (or maybe a week-long) trip to a spa and wellness destination. With rooms to make the guests feel welcomed, and the staff ready to help you in any way possible, who can ever say no to some downtime. Seaside spa, yoga on the beach, healthy and delectable foods to enjoy―what more can anyone want. Some of best destinations include the Red Mountain Resort in St. George, Utah, Zoëtry Wellness & Spa Resorts in Dominican Republic, Pimalai Resort & Spa in Thailand, Belmond Jimbaran Puri in Bali, Indonesia, Esencia in Mexico, and Mii Amo Spa in Sedona, Arizona. Pick either of these places or your favorite wellness resort, depending on your budget, and you won’t regret it.
9. Adventure
If adventure is on your minds, you need to explore all the options in front of you. There are so many place to choose from in the U.S.―river rafting in Yellowstone River or down the Colorado River, heli-skiing in Alaska’s Tordrillo Mountains, exploring Montana and Alberta with a Crow elder, or backpacking in the mountains (Colorado, Idaho, or California). Or how do these places sound―trekking through the Andes along the Futaleufú River, bicycle ride through the Golden Triangle (Myanmar, Laos and Thailand), hiking an active Costa Rican volcano, dog-sledding in Finland, kayaking in the Galápagos Islands, or take a journey across the Bolivian Altiplano. Our earth is filled with places and adventures just waiting for you.
Well, these were our suggestions on fun, entertaining, and romantic vacations for couples. A vacation is something to be enjoyed with the right company and much gusto. Regardless of the location or travel destination, find happiness and content in the small moments, and make every vacation filled with lifetime of memories.
