Each offers its own rhythm of privacy, adventure, and intimate luxury—perfect for romantic getaways where the focus is simply being together, whether sipping wine on a terrace, strolling along a white-sand beach, or losing yourself in centuries-old gardens.
Vocabolo Moscatelli’s travertine pool, accented with Lispi and Paola Lenti touches
The former monastery opens onto a central piazza, anchored by a historic church
Most suites feature a deep cantilevered bathtub, placed outdoors on a spacious loggia
Umbria, Italy
Set within a former 12th-century monastery, Vocabolo Moscatelli has earned its spot among the best romantic destinations without trying too hard. Original beamed ceilings, stone fireplaces, and worn wooden floors ground the space in Umbrian history, while airy interiors, soft color, and custom pieces by local artists keep it feeling light and modern. Some suites open onto panoramic terraces curated by Paola Lenti, where deep soaking tubs face rolling countryside; others come with private gardens. Luxury here is relaxed and unstructured—breakfast has no hours, the restaurant leans plant-forward, and days unfold at your own pace. Wander the Mediterranean garden, hunt truffles, take a pottery or cooking class, or simply disappear into the hills that have sheltered seekers for centuries.
MIRA Earth Studios sits naturally within the rocky terrain
Mira Poolside pairs meticulous culinary detail with a relaxed, playful atmosphere
Each studio, inspired by Wabi-Sabi and desert design, offers a quiet, intimate retreat
Baja California, Mexico
Hidden high in Baja’s wine-country hills, MIRA Earth Studios feels like a secret you weren’t meant to find. This adults-only couples’ getaway has just 10 hillside studios, each wrapped in privacy and quiet, with a firepit, private sauna, outdoor jacuzzi, and wide-open views of desert and vines. Inside, the space is calm and generous—king bed, lounge-worthy seating, and glass doors that slide away to let the landscape in. Nights are for soaking under the stars, making s’mores by the fire, or turning the floor-to-ceiling window shades into a movie screen. And when you’re ready to rejoin the world, Valle de Guadalupe’s best wineries and farm-to-table restaurants are only a short drive away.
Cap Karoso’s modernist villas feature private swimming pools
Sumba, Indonesia
Cap Karoso is a striking outlier—an artful romantic beach getaway set above Sumba’s Karoso Beach. Its modernist concrete forms reinterpret local craft through a French lens, with limestone drystone walls, abstract works by Ines Katamso, and hand-glazed tiles inspired by traditional wicker. Rooms range from airy studios with terrazzo floors and ocean-facing balconies to garden-wrapped suites that feel like private villas, complete with open living spaces and semi-outdoor bathrooms. Time drifts by the two pools, while evenings are reserved for sunset cocktails at Apicine or intimate dinners at Julang, where visiting chefs cook with ingredients from the resort’s organic farm. Add elemental spa rituals and Sumba’s wild, cinematic coastline, and Cap Karoso is romance, reimagined.
A poolside retreat at Villa Arnica, where water, gardens, and alpine vistas come together
Villa Arnica serves Mediterranean cuisine infused with the villa’s own garden
An Old World villa celebrating both grandeur and effortless ease
Lana, South Tyrol
Villa Arnica feels like the kind of place you arrive at and immediately exhale—a quietly enchanting stay that redefines luxury romantic getaways through warmth, intimacy, and ease. Housed in a historic estate, the adults-only retreat blends old-world soul with a relaxed, lived-in elegance. Every corner reveals a thoughtful detail: vinyl records waiting in the Salotto (living room), vintage furniture and lighting layered just right, fresh flowers gathered from the garden placed by your bed. Each of the ten rooms and suites has its own personality, shaped by the building’s original architecture. Lounge by the pool beneath palms and pines, breathe in drifting lavender, or retreat to a quiet garden nook with a book. Yoga in the glass-enclosed atrium, leisurely meals at the pool house, and easy bike rides through nearby orchards and vineyards make it effortless to settle into the rhythm of the place.
From the south side of Pansea Bay, The Surin Phuket stretches toward the endless ocean
Phuket, Thailand
Neatly tucked into a coconut grove along Pansea Beach, The Surin Phuket is a quietly iconic choice for a luxury tropical honeymoon. Built into the hillside, the resort opens onto sweeping views of white-sand shoreline, clear turquoise water, and sunsets that feel almost unreal. Recently renovated, the pavilions and cottages reinterpret classic Thai beach design with local materials and clean, modern lines. Elevated walkways connect open-air public spaces, while private cottages feel cocooned in nature, with shuttered doors, secluded sundecks, and verandas that invite the outdoors in. Spend your days walking along the powder-soft beach, swimming in the serene pool, rejuvenating at the spa, and falling asleep to the gentle sound of waves beneath your cottage.
Boca de Agua’s treehouses transform the lush jungle into an integral part of their design
A cenote pool framed by soaring trees and serenaded by birdsong
Each of the 22 villas features its own private plunge pool
In Bacalar, Boca de Agua overlooks lagoons that shimmer from dark blue to gentle lavender
Bacalar, Mexico
Tucked beyond two kilometers of rugged, unmarked road, Boca de Agua hovers above Bacalar Lagoon like a dream—a treetop escape and one of the most enchanting romantic getaways in Mexico. Each of the 22 villas floats above the jungle, with sunlight-filled wood interiors, private plunge pools, and elevated walkways winding through mangroves. Dine at Flora, where fragrant, locally inspired dishes like cochinita pibil tacos delight the senses, lounge in hammock-dotted pools, or indulge in spa treatments that blend Mayan healing traditions with modern wellness. Paddleboard, kayak, or sail on the lagoon, then watch the sunset shimmer over the water.
