You don't have to travel far to find the perfect spot for a getaway with your significant other. Whether you want to spend a week, or just a long weekend, there are plenty of options close to home. Here are a few of our favorites.
Hawaii
You can’t go wrong with a stay on any of Hawaii’s islands. While Kauai and Maui are my favorites, each island has it’s own charm. Every island has beautiful beaches, lush gardens, and plenty of activities. Whether you want to enjoy water sports, romantic walks on a beach or explore the natural beauty, there is a reason why Hawaii is one of the number one spots in the world for honeymoons and romantic retreats.

Napa is a wine lover’s paradise but even if you aren’t into wine, there is so much more to see and do in this scenic region of rolling vineyards. The region has chic restaurants and top-notch hotels and is the ultimate romantic getaway. There are dozens of wineries that offer wine tasting.

This charming Southern town is best explored on foot. With hundreds of small squares full of trees draped in Spanish moss, there is a new delight around every corner.

If you are looking for a bit of a thrill, try out one of the many Ghost Tours after dark. Whether you are a foodie, history buff, or adventure seeker, be sure to soak in all the southern charm and romance Savannah, Georgia has to offer.
