Nothing is better than coming home from a whirlwind romantic vacation with some of the best pictures of you and your special someone. If you want to capture some romantic memories while having the trip of your life, these are some great destinations for a romantic getaway with your significant other. So grab your partner, pack your bags and get ready for one of the most romantic and scenic trips of your life. From the Taj Mahal in India to the beautifully picturesque island of Santorini in Greece, these awe-inspiring locales prove going on a romantic vacation and getting that perfect picture can both be achieved in just one trip.
For those who are familiar with the beaches of Florida, Mexico and the Caribbean, there’s a lesser-known island that serves up beaches with just as beautiful views: Caye Caulker in Belize. Located off the coast of Belize City, Caye Caulker features Instagram-worthy bright turquoise water alongside fun backdrops like the gorgeous beach and picturesque palm trees. Photograph your partner while participating in fun activities like zip lining, scuba diving and manatee spotting. Hardcore adventurers can take a scenic flight over the Great Blue Hole — a marine sinkhole that is 1,043 feet across and 407 feet deep. Whether it’s relaxing on the beach or exploring its stunning sights, Caye Caulker is both romantic and photogenic.
If you love iconic sights that carry centuries of history, Agra, India has ancient monuments that will take your breath away. The Taj Mahal, a mausoleum commissioned in 1632 by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan for his favorite wife, is 42 acres of awe-inspiring beauty. The mausoleum is one of the New 7 Wonders of the World and features a mosque, guest house and gardens filled with over 400 plants. After visiting the Taj Mahal and getting all the pictures you want, you can also visit the Agra Fort near the Yamuna River, which served as the home for Mughal Dynasty emperors. It doesn’t matter if you take a traditional photo right in front of the Taj Mahal or stage artistic pictures around the city, Agra, India should be on your travel bucket list.
Few sightings are more beautiful than the coastline of Santorini, with the cliffside villages serving as a perfect backdrop. Whether you want to go because of the gorgeous landscapes or because you want to fulfill your “Mamma Mia!” fantasies, a trip to this island is more than worth it. It doesn’t matter if you snap photos left and right in the village of Oia or capture the sunset at the Kastro castle, picture-perfect views and a romantic stay await you. Fabulous photos can also be taken in one of Santorini’s cave houses — which are unique alternatives to a hotel room — or during a romantic dinner at one of Santorini’s upscale Greek restaurants. After spending the day exploring all of Santorini’s hidden gems, relax during a wine tasting tour or while on a boat trip around the island.
Alongside cities like Hong Kong and Tokyo, Seoul delivers on atmosphere, culture, romance and beauty. The capital of South Korea, Seoul is full of great places to visit with your partner and spectacular spots to take a photo or two. Those who love nature should stop by the Seoul Forest, a national family park that features over 12 million square feet of plants, trees, sculptures and natural beauty that stands out on Instagram. You and your significant other can also take in the sunrise from the top of the Achasan or Gaehwasan Mountains. And for a romantic date night, visit one of Seoul’s many distilleries or enjoy a water and light show at the Banpo Bridge Moonlight Rainbow Fountain. Whatever you end up doing, you’re sure to get some great memories and pictures out of it.
