Keep The Love Going: These Are The Best Romantic Escapes in The U.S.

Just because Valentine’s Day is over, there’s no need for the romance to die. These are the best getaways in the U.S. for every type of couple. Whether your idea of romance involves adventures in the middle of the desert, sharing good food and drink, or a restorative couples massage, look no further:

Wine Tasting in California

There’s nothing like sipping wine and a little fine dining to stoke the romantic flame. Even better when the whole trip revolves around these activities. You can opt for a glitzier experience in Napa or Sonoma Valleys or you can go for a more rustic trip in Mendocino or Paso Robles– either way, you’ll enjoy the fruits of the most famous American wine region with stunning natural beauty all around you.

Stargazing in West Texas

West Texas is the epitome of “wide open spaces.” There’s endless room to roam throughout the Chihuahuan Desert, including Big Bend National Park and the funky, artistic towns of Marfa and Terlingua. All this open space translates into wide-open skies with vivid stars at night. After a long day hiking in Big Bend, canoeing the Rio Grande or boutique shopping in Marfa, head out for a romantic evening star-gazing with your partner. Or try to catch a glimpse of the mysterious Marfa ghost lights for an eerie twist!

Spa Weekend Amongst the Sedona Red Rocks

Sedona, Arizona has long been regarded as a sacred and restorative place. The cathedral of red rocks imbue a sense of tranquility and, many argue, even spiritual significance. That’s why it’s the perfect place to run away with your partner and enjoy a wellness weekend. Reconnect with your partner with a couples massage or cozy jacuzzi plunge after a day of hiking. Sedona is known for its many world-class spas and wellness retreats, so there are plenty of options to choose from.

Romantic New York City Trip

What could be more romantic than wandering the Big Apple with your significant other? Whether enjoying a Broadway show, huddling over cocktails in a hole-in-the-wall dive bar or enjoying an afternoon of live jazz, New York City has endless opportunities for couples to enjoy on a romantic trip. The main attractions are always there for you — like going to the top of the Rockefeller Center or shopping on Fifth Avenue — but there’s nothing quite like exploring a new part of town together. If you usually stay in Midtown, think about opting for somewhere a bit farther from the beaten path, like Brooklyn or Nolita.
