Amalfi Coast, Italy

This couldn't possibly be a list of romantic destinations without mentioning the Amalfi Coast. This world-famous trait of coast boasts dramatic landscapes and enchanting towns nestled in the cliffs looking like big, colorful cribs: a true spectacle that can really be appreciated from the sea, onboard your private yacht, sipping on a glass of prosecco, accompanied by the colors of the sunset. Sounds like a scene straight out of a romantic movie to us! 

Not to mention the food. They say food is a natural aphrodisiac, and the Amalfi Coast is definitely the best place to indulge in some of the most luxurious and delicious dishes of Italian cuisine: pasta with fresh seafood or freshly-harvested vegetables, high-quality meat and fish, and tasty desserts for all type of tastebuds. Everything about the Amalfi Coast calls for a romantic love story! Would you share this amazing experience with your loved one?

For a dash of extra romanticism, take your loved one to the beautiful Terrace of Infinity, located in the garden of Villa Ciambrone in Ravello. The amazing view of the coast and the Tyrrhenian Sea is perfect for indulging in a long, loving embrace.

Côte D'Azur, France 

If there's one thing France is famous for, that's being a synonym for romanticism; Paris is undoubtedly the eternal city of love, but nothing beats the charm and beauty of the Côte d'Azur. The French Riviera boasts idyllic towns scattered along the coasts, as well as luxurious cities such as Saint Tropez and Monaco, each hosting some of the best marinas in the whole Med, with magnificent yachts and mega yachts moored one next to each other. 

The towns of Côte d'Azur have the typical Mediterranean style, with pastel colors and narrow streets leading to picturesque squares or beautiful seafronts. Taking a stroll hand in hand with your partner through these romantic towns will make you fall in love over and over again. Rent a private yacht and explore the coast together, relaxing in turquoise bays or tasting delicious French food sitting at a typical restaurant.

For an intimate getaway, sail to the Calanques National Park right outside Marseille. This trait of coast is famous for the rocky inlets with turquoise waters nestled between cliffs of pristine nature, a real spectacle for the eyes. Our absolute favourite is the Calanque d'En Veu, a private cove that is quite hard to reach on foot due to the steep hike, but amazing to discover by boat: for a day of total relaxation and intimacy with your loved ones!

Santorini, Greece 

We don't want to sound obvious but have you ever visited Santorini?! Only a few other islands in the world can claim to be as romantic as this one. Santorini is undoubtedly the most famous Cyclades Island, along with Mykonos and Naxos, and presents those typical hills covered in white-washed houses that we're sure you've already seen in some travel pictures. The coasts boast crystal clear waters and amazing beaches, particularly meant for being discovered by boat, away from the crowds of tourists. 

This volcanic island also offers the possibility of getting pampered by natural hot springs that bubble up from the sea: here the water temperature is always around 30° and has healing properties thanks to the presence of iron and magnesium. You can find the most famous ones in Nea Kameni and Palea Kameni.

Being one of the most famous Cyclades Island has its pros and cons. The huge masses of tourists that populate this island can often make the holiday quite annoying and definitely not very romantic, hence the reason to book a private boat and explore it from a different perspective!

One of the most intimate experiences you can do with your loved one is to watch the beautiful sunsets of Santorini from the sea, precisely from the northern village of Oia: this is a perfect and romantic location to witness the magic of nature from the comfort of your own yacht.

St. Martin, Guadeloupe

If you like to organise things in style, then St. Martin is your place! There's a reason why this island is one of the most famous destinations for honeymoons, and that's for the unique and romantic experiences you can do there; this idyllic Caribbean island has everything you need for an exclusive and luxury vacation, from Spas and resorts, to water activities, excursions, restaurants and of course amazing landscapes. 

Sail around the island with your private yacht, anchor in one of the pretty turquoise bays and relax with your loved one under the sun. If you feel adventurous, reach the shore with your dinghy and explore the natural surroundings: you won't be disappointed!

If you want to live an exclusive, romantic experience together with your loved one, we suggest visiting the Butterfly Farm. Here, a guide will take you through the lush vegetation of the farm, where hundreds of rare butterflies hop freely from flower to flower, showing off their mesmerising colours; you might be lucky enough to get one of these beautiful creatures gently laying on you!

Maldives 

Another lovey-dovey destination very much appreciated by couples is the Maldives. This stunning archipelago located in the Indian Ocean, is the perfect, intimate location for an exclusive sailing vacation with your loved one, island hopping on your private yacht.

Similar to St. Martin, the Maldives offer luxury experiences of all kind, such as pampering spa days or spending time on a private island (yes, just for the two of you!). Snorkelling in the turquoise waters is one of the most amazing activities you could possibly do for the unique variety of marine life! 

Most romantic location in the Maldives

If there's one thing we suggest experiencing with your loved one in the Maldives, is to sail to Vaadhoo Island at night to witness the magical phenomenon of bioluminescence, and get mesmerised by the ocean glowing and glittering like a sky full of stars. This natural chemical process consists in the pruduction of light by living organisms, which glow up as they're touched; enjoy this enchanting experience on your boat or by the beach, and don't forget to look up: there's a sky full of starts there too!

Dubrovnik, Croatia

Last but not least, we end this list article with a city that is rich in history and culture, for a romantic jump back in time. Dubrovnik is located in the southern tip of Croatia and is a seaside city that offers high-quality marinas and turquoise bays for mooring or anchoring.

But the real beauty hides ashore: the streets of the old town are filled with historical buildings that dates back to the 7th century, giving this place the title of UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is also surrounded by ancient walls, on which you can walk and enjoy the beautiful view of the sea and the city. 

Most romantic location in Dubrovnik

Although the whole historical buildings are worth a visit, we suggest taking the Dubrovnik Funicular for a unique point of view of the Adriatic Sea and the city. You will reach an observation platform from which you can also admire the green hills of Montenegro and Bosnia. If you fancy a dinner or a cocktail with a view, there's a nice restaurant located on the platform.
