Let there be Love

The 10 Most Romantic Destinations In The World
Victoria Ugarte

Ahh, Romance, that deep and bottomless emotional maelstrom that knocks you from pillar to post, hijacking your logic in the planning and pursuit of pleasurable reward, remarkably displaying all the symptoms of an obsessive compulsive disorder. This disruptive and deliciously tormented state of mind is reported to be as effective at blocking pain as cocaine and other illicit drugs, little wonder that we find every opportunity to recapture its first flush with our significant other.
Enter the romantic destination. While there are certain destinations in the world that immediately conjure up images of romance, a myriad of places still await discovery. Whether renown or not, there are certain key elements that combine in the making of a successful romantic destination, not dissimilar to the qualities we look for in a lover: beauty, sensuality, and the element of surprise.
Whether it be in majestic mountains with stunning panoramas or a ragged coastline, a romantic destination needs to be breathtakingly beautiful. Untouched. Unspoiled. It needs to give the sensation of being away from the world, the illusion of delicious isolation.
A romantic destination needs to engage the senses: Delicious massages with fragrant essential oils ease tired muscles during the day while charm-filled restaurants sparkle under fairy lights and candles at night, offering an array of mouthwatering delicacies as intoxicating music wafts across the tables.
