The Couple’s Travel Style Guide: Where to Go Based on How You Vacation Together

Every couple travels differently — and that’s what makes planning a romantic escape so meaningful. Whether your ideal time together means long dinners and wine tastings, unplugging in a quiet hideaway, or seeking out shared adventures, the right destination can bring you even closer.

Here’s how to choose a destination based on your couple travel style — with destination suggestions and planning inspiration to help you get started:

1. The Reconnect Couple

You value calm, comfort, and meaningful time together.

You both have full schedules and little downtime, so your ideal trip is one that helps you pause, slow down, and truly connect without distractions. The goal isn’t to do it all — it’s to be present with each other.

Reconnect Destinations:

• Finnish Lapland – Stay in a glass igloo with views of the northern lights, snowshoe through peaceful forests, and end your day by the fire with a warm drink in hand.

  
  

• Maldives – Relax in a private overwater villa, enjoy meals delivered by boat, and let the quiet beauty of the ocean be your backdrop.

  
  

• Bali – Unwind in a villa tucked in the jungle, book a couples spa experience, and enjoy mornings that start slow and stretch into the afternoon.

  
  

• Banff, Alberta – Cozy cabins, snow-covered peaks, and natural hot springs create a peaceful setting that feels far from everyday life.

  
  

2. The Wine and Dine Couple

You connect best over great food, beautiful settings, and time to linger.

For you, travel is as much about the dining experiences as the destination. Whether it’s a candlelit dinner, local tasting menu, or a vineyard lunch with a view, sharing good food and conversation is your idea of romance.

Wine and Dine Destinations:

• Bruges, Belgium – Explore canals, historic streets, and bistros serving traditional Belgian fare. Stop by a chocolate shop and find the perfect treat together.

  
  

• Anguilla – Enjoy low-key island charm with refined beachfront dining, fresh seafood, and calm waters perfect for a post-lunch swim.

  
  

• Mendoza, Argentina – Discover Argentina’s wine region with long vineyard lunches, mountain views, and some of the world’s best Malbecs.

  
  

• Charleston, South Carolina – Known for its culinary scene, Charleston offers rooftop cocktails, candlelit courtyards, and southern hospitality at its best.

  
  

3. The Explore and Adventure Couple

You thrive on discovering new places, trying new things, and sharing the experience.

You’re not the type to sit by the pool for long. You enjoy the energy of travel, from hiking through mountain landscapes to diving into local culture. Your ideal trip includes stories worth telling — and plenty of activity.

Explore and Adventure Destinations:

• Dolomites, Italy – Spend your days on alpine trails or the ski slopes, and your evenings sharing pasta in cozy mountain lodges.

  
  

• Costa Rica – Hike rainforests, zipline through the treetops, and unwind on a beach before heading back to your jungle lodge.

  
  

• Tanzania – From wildlife-filled safari drives to quiet evenings under a vast sky, Tanzania combines excitement and serenity.

  
  

• New Orleans, Louisiana – With live music, bold flavors, and rich culture, New Orleans is an unforgettable mix of celebration and connection — especially leading up to Mardi Gras.
