Adventurous holiday ideas for couples

From strolling the streets of Europe’s most romantic cities to settling back on the soft beaches of a Mexican resort, or adventuring through Africa on a safari holiday, you and your partner can choose a trip designed for two. Whatever your interests, we have a range of destinations and types of travel including cruises, long-haul holidays and short cultural city breaks.

Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Croatia…there are so many countries in Europe that are calling out to couples. Looking for relaxation? The Spanish Costas, Balearics and Canary Islands are perfect for beach sunbathing, staying in elegant hotels and sipping refreshing cocktails. You can also enjoy day trips to places like Gibraltar, or challenge your partner to a round of golf or an onsite tennis match.

Italy’s beautiful lakes, mountains and rustic villages provide a wonderful backdrop to a couples holiday. Learn some basic Italian phrases, dine on freshly cooked local cuisine and explore cities such as Rome and Naples. Alternatively travel to Greece for island sunsets, laidback ferry journeys, wine tasting and history round every corner. Take some time to explore sites of interest such as the Bronze Age settlement at Akrotiri, or chill out at your luxury hotel’s secluded beach.

For couples who want to spread their wings a little further we offer plenty of long-haul flights transporting you to locations like Australia, Africa and North America. Here are some of our highlights…

Follow in the footsteps of David Livingstone and head to the roaring Victoria Falls, the sprawling Chobe National Park and the marshes of the Okavango Delta with our 12-night trip. If you have always longed to book a wildlife safari you should try our A World in One Country tour, which takes in Kruger National Park, Cape Town City and Table Mountain, to name just a few highlights. What could be more romantic than witnessing the Big Five in their own habitat?
