Romantic Getaways From Hotels with Private Pools to Adults Only Resorts

By , May 15th, 2018

You’re sipping a glass of wine, cuddling up with that special someone after a day of exploring a new city. Or maybe you’ve skipped the city and stayed in, taking full advantage of that hotel room with the private pool. However it goes down, every couple knows that your neighborhood haunts and evening spent Netflix and chillin’ get old after a while. No couple is pulled from the pages of a Hollywood script. We all need some time to reboot and rekindle that spark; that spark that forced you to look into the eyes of a stranger and see something special that blossomed into love faster than ever expected.

Enter the romantic getaway. Romantic getaways are essential for any couple that wants to keep the fire burning, so we’ve gone ahead and compiled some of our favorite stories covering romantic getaways around the United States and beyond. Whether you’re looking for some fresh air or a fancy hotel to set the mood and get you two under the sheets, there’s something for every couple.

 

Best Romantic Getaways

Hotels with Private Pools

Hotels with Private Pools

The hotel pool experience is supposed to be a relaxing, rejuvenating experience. Unfortunately, too many pool scenes are ruined by obnoxious partiers and early wake-ups calls from children running around the floor above. Come to think of it, people are the problem. What you need is to get away from other people.

Fortunately, there’s a remedy for that — hotels with private pools. At these properties from South Beach to Scottsdale, you can leave your swimsuit at home and enjoy a sexy romantic getaway.

 

All-Inclusive, Adults-Only Resorts

Maybe you’re a parent or you’ve happily opted yourself out of the offspring game. Whatever the case may be, nobody likes having kids around all the time. We don’t care if you’re Mr. Rogers reincarnated. Everyone needs a break and some of us aren’t so nuts about children in the first place. Yet crying, screaming, sticky children seem to be ubiquitous when we travel, especially when it comes to relaxing at the hotel pool.

Enter your savior, the all-inclusive, adults-only resort. We’ve covered a number of destinations over the past year, including Cancun and Playa del Carmen, across Mexico, Thailand, Costa Rica, and the Caribbean, offering readers a variety of possibilities to get as far away as possible from the little ones and to someplace where swimsuits are optional. Start your wanderlust.

Valentine’s Day Ideas For Him

Flip the Script with These Valentine's Day Ideas for Him

We know what you’re thinking. Valentine’s Day is just once a year and your guy probably doesn’t even care about it. It’s a day almost exclusively marketed for women, not their boyfriends, husbands, and certainly not gay men.

You may be right, but the great thing about this list of Valentine’s Day ideas is that you can use them any time of the year. Surprise the man in your life with a Hot Air Expedition in Phoenix or perhaps a tour of the Continental Divide. Or if you’re a traditionalist at heart, keep these ideas in mind for next Valentine’s Day.

 

Hotels with Fireplaces

Hotels with Fireplaces

The spark, rekindle the fire, burning desire — there’s a reason why fire plays such a prominent role in the way we talk about romance. Love, passion, desire — they happen unexpectedly, but once you have it, it takes care and attention to keep it going. You can take care of your relationship and have the pleasure of losing yourself in the warmth of a literal fire by planning a romantic getaway to a hotel with a fireplace. With a special nod to the Midwest, we’ve put together a list of hotels, inns, bed and breakfasts from Kansas City to Wisconsin that promise a warm fire in the comfort of room.
