Many people fall short of ideas when it comes to couple holidays. However, we are giving you so many travel ideas in this post that you will have ample ideas for many years. If you and your partner are not the DIY types, couple holiday packages are a nice alternative. These deals ensure amazing experiences and relieve you from the worries of planning or making arrangements as they come with all the essential services like flights, accommodations, meals and day trips.
With that being said, here is our 2025 travel bucket list for couples. Let’s dive right into it.
Stay in an Overwater Bungalow
This is our favorite and that of many couples too. A night at one of the best overwater villas in Bora Bora or the Maldives will refresh your mind and make you fall in love with each other all over again. The two places we mentioned above are home to amazing overwater villas. Keep in mind that overwater villas are not cheap and the prices can be very high during the peak season. But there’s a hack for it too. Travel during low season or book in advance and you will get the best deals.
Watch the Northern Lights in Iceland or Norway
Not only sea and beaches romantic, clear skies with natural lights are an amazing and lovely experience too. The Northern Lights phenomenon is only available for people who travel to Iceland or Norway between September and March. Simply hold hands with your partner and marvel at the amazing sight in front of you. These countries have numerous other activities and things to do for couples as well. So, be relaxed as your trip to one or both will be worth every penny and second.
Plan a Luxury Safari Trip
If both of you have a knack for adventure, a luxury safari trip is a must-do thing. The continent of Africa offers the best safari holidays and some of them are not that costly as well. Such a trip is not only about early morning game drives or watching wild animals as they go about their daily routine; it involves some serious luxury elements like swimming pool breakfasts and dinners under the open sky. Kruger National Park in South Africa is a mid-range place but still comes with all the essential services for couples. Kenya is a nice option for couples as well.
Visit Paris (Period)
The reason we mention Paris this way is that this is the city of love and if this is not on your bucket list as a couple, we are sorry; you have made the list the wrong way. Each and every experience in the city oozes love. To begin your love trip in the city, start with watching the sunset from a rooftop in Paris with the Eiffel Tower in the back. Take a stroll hand in hand along the Seine River and sip some coffee while you stop. The artistic streets of Montmartre deserve all your time as well.
Float in a Hot Air Balloon at Sunrise in Cappadocia
It is time to go literal with the phrase “love is in the air” by taking a hot air balloon ride in Turkey. These rides are generally shared but you can book one for the two of you if you are ready to splurge. The views below are amazing and you can seize the moment to get down on one knee and present your proposal. We are sure that your significant other will remember this for their entire life and you will too (whether they say yes or no). If you want a more raw experience, a balloon ride over the Masai Mara in Kenya is a great idea. You can see the wildlife from the top. Before you take on such an adventure, don’t forget to bring your binoculars.
Lantern Festival in Chiang Mai, Thailand
There is one similarity between this and the experience that we mentioned above; they both use the same technique to rise in the air. However, what’s more important here is that both of them are equally romantic. In Chiang Mai, one of the most romantic places in Thailand, thousands of tourists release lanterns during the Yi Peng Festival. As the lanterns go up, the sky starts to glow and shine, making the next 5 to 10 minutes highly romantic. Hold hands while you observe this magical scene. Other than this, candlelit dinners, temple visits and relaxing spa days are waiting for you at Chiang Mai.
Private Picnic by a Vineyard in Tuscany, Italy
Europe is home to some of the best romantic destinations for couples and this is why no travel bucket list for a honeymoon is complete without it. Just a short flight away from England, there is Tuscany in Italy and it is an excellent spot for city breaks as well. You can take your special one there for a weekend and rekindle the spark or simply plan a special event like an anniversary or celebrate your promotion. Pick a quiet spot among the vines and enjoy a private picnic with local wine, cheese and fresh bread. Add in a sunset stroll, and maybe a cooking class to learn to make pasta as every bite tastes like love.
Island-Hopping & Secret Lagoons in El Nido, Philippines
There are many island hopping destinations in the world but the Philippines has something different about it. First of all, the country is not overcrowded like others and secondly it is surprisingly cheap for someone coming from the UK or the US. As you move from one island to the next with your lover beside you, you can relax at beautiful beaches or engage in adventurous activities like snorkeling, swimming and paddleboarding.
Final Words
We are sure that these experiences and destinations will give you some serious travel goals and, of course, some insta-worthy pictures. So, get ready for your next trip and book exceptional couple holiday packages at Virikson Holidays.
