These are the best hotels for couples, scattered in breathtakingly beautiful destinations around the globe.
Best romantic hotels in the US
The US may not be known for romance in the same way that European countries practically ooze it, but these hotels turn ye ole stars and stripes a lovely shade of pink.

Check each hotel’s website to see exactly what to expect, and be sure to review state and local restrictions before booking.

Go to wine tastings and gourmet cooking classes during the day. And at night? Well, that’s up to you.

- Nayara Springs in Costa Rica and Jade Mountain Resort in St. Lucia are your best options for a romantic escape during the first half of 2021, since these countries are currently welcoming US travelers — though COVID-19 screening measures apply. Before booking, confirm the travel restrictions in the country you’d like to visit.

Nayara Springs — San Carlos, Costa Rica
This adults-only boutique resort is only accessible to the outside world via a 250-foot pedestrian bridge. It’s that secluded, deep in the Costa Rican rainforest.
Sway to live music during a candlelit, poolside dinner for two, and watch for toucans and hummingbirds from the oversize infinity pools that disappear into the forest. Luxuriate in treatments like organic coffee scrubs, volcanic mud and chocolate clay.
- Daily yoga sessions included
- Located in Arenal Volcano National Park

Jade Mountain Resort — Saint Lucia
Jade Mountain’s serene sanctuaries are the closest thing to heaven this side of the universe. The land, sun, stars and your significant other are the standout sensory experiences, as guests are asked to leave their phones on silent mode.
Curved infinity pools dissolve into the ocean and illuminate at night, so you can extend your evening dip into the wee hours. Its chocolate laboratory harvests cocoa from the 2,000 cocoa trees nearby — sweets for your sweetie, freshly made.
- No televisions, radios or telephones in the rooms

Cap Rocat — Balearic Islands, Spain
Sleep in an ancient island fortress located on east of mainland Spain. Cap Rocat is renowned for the glamorous restoration that transformed a 19th century military citadel into a magical Mediterranean retreat.

- Yacht through the Mediterranean during the day
- Gourmet, locally-sourced cuisine

Taj Lake Palace — Udaipur, India
First built as an island palace for an Indian prince, Taj Lake Palace is like a Far East-fairy tale come to life. You might recognize it — the James Bond movie Octopussy was filmed there.

The only way to reach it is by boat. You’ll be greeted by the palace butlers and treated like royalty throughout your stay.

Dine at a Michelin-starred restaurant overlooking hopelessly blue water, but reserve a special evening from the Sommelier’s Table — an intimate cave for two tucked away in “the wine library.”
- Rooftop solarium with unbelievable coastal views — and lots of champagne
- Clubhouse by the Sea has beach terraces and a dock

The Kayon Truly Ubud Resort — Bali, Indonesia
Hidden away in the lush privacy of the Ubud rain forest preserve, Kayon Resort is built on a series of stone hills. Upon arrival, you’ll instantly smell the ylang-ylang, jackfruit, coconuts and durian growing in the magical gardens. Take a dip in the infinity pool, which hovers above the river.
