18 Life-Changing Vacations for Couples

Barbados

The west coast of Barbados is home to several high-end resorts with various offerings to make your Caribbean escape extra memorable. Of course, you can arrange some classic island excursions, such as snorkeling, private boat trips with companies like Seaduced, and visits to local attractions like the spectacular Hunte’s Gardens and Rihanna’s childhood home. For a dose of the local cuisine and culture, enjoy an upbeat Friday night at Oistins fish fry or sample some of the island’s best rums at Mount Gay rum factory. You could also kick back and make relaxation your number-one priority by simply enjoying the beautiful beaches and temperate water. No matter how active you decide to be, Barbados makes for one of the best vacation spots for couples. Some hotels offer unique experiences for couples wanting to up the romance even more. The House by Elegant Hotels, for example, is an adults-only property with a romance concierge whose main job is to help you personalize your trip and create experiences that are perfect for the two of you. For an off-property dinner you won’t soon forget, head to The Cliff, which overlooks the water in a sultry, fire-adorned setting.
