What’s more romantic than a getaway together? Not many things! Getting away from all the hassles and responsibilities of everyday life is the perfect opportunity to enjoy each other’s company and keep the spark alive.
If you’re looking at planning couple holidays in the UK then there’s plenty to consider to make that time away the best and most romantic it can be. It doesn’t matter whether you’re thinking of a countryside retreat or an urban weekend, we’ve put together recommendations for some of the best couple’s activities for you to add to your itinerary.
Exploring the great outdoors together
With summer here, there’s never a better time to head out and enjoy the great outdoors. But even when the weather isn’t quite as sunny there’s still romance to be found in spending time out and away from the indoor distractions.
Heading out to explore a new area together – hiking scenic trails in search of beautiful vistas and pretty landscapes – is a great way to inject something special into your time away as a couple. Whether you prefer a leisurely meander through some woodlands or a more challenging hike up a peak, there are plenty of spots around the UK that provide the perfect backdrop for a couple’s walk.
If you’re looking for something a little different, consider heading out onto the water. From kayaking or sailing to paddleboarding, you can explore the UK’s natural beauty from a fresh perspective together.
Having romantic dining experiences
We all know that food is another key ingredient for romance, just so long as it’s food you both enjoy! And there’s really no better excuse to indulge in some special food experiences than being away from home.
Perhaps you’ll choose to book a table at a fine dining restaurant, sign up for a couple’s cooking class or simply plan a picnic out under the stars. Whatever your budget, there are ways to inject some extra romance into your time away with food.
Experiencing local culture and history
One of the best things about going on holiday is getting to explore and experience new parts of the country. And how better to do that than by exploring the local culture and history?
Touring ancient castles, stately homes and other historical sites is a lovely way to spend a day away. It might not be everyone’s idea of the perfect date but there’s a lot of fun to be had in learning together. Especially if you have an interest in any particular parts of the UK’s history.
Away from history, there are plenty of local cultural events happening regularly throughout the country. Check to see whether there are any festivals or other events on when you’re visiting and enjoy part of what’s so special about that particular area or place.
Spending time relaxing
As tempting as it is to fill your time away with activities and days out, sometimes there’s more to enjoy in taking the opportunity to relax.
Everyday life is increasingly hectic and busy, so why not make the most of your holiday and take it slow?
Cut out the stress and simply spend some time relaxing in each other’s company. There’s nothing stopping you from having some lazy days lounging around in your accommodation and recharging.
Another great way to relax on holiday is to book in a couple’s spa day. Enjoy massages, facials and perhaps a dip in a hot spring as you let all the tension and stress leave your body. It’s not just an excellent way to relax but an enjoyable bonding experience too.
No matter how you want to fill the days of your couple’s getaway, there are a wealth of ways to inject some extra romance and bonding into your time away. So, read up on what’s available in the area once you’ve decided where to go and start planning the perfect holiday together.
