Every couple has their own unique way of expressing and receiving love. When planning a romantic getaway, why not let your love languages guide your choice of destination? 


Whether your relationship thrives on quality time, physical touch, words of affirmation, acts of service, or receiving gifts, here are dreamy destinations tailored perfectly for each.

Quality Time: Uninterrupted Togetherness

If your love language is quality time, you want somewhere that lends itself to plenty of deep conversations which stretch into the early hours of the morning, rooms that make you want to batten down the hatches and ignore the outside world, and a place where you can disconnect from your regular life.

So, picking a holiday destination which delivers plenty of moments of undisturbed togetherness is key. Consider destinations like the Maldives, where a water villa hovering above crystal-clear water will mean you’ll want to spend every moment gliding between your villa and the ocean. If your love language is quality time, another option is the gorgeous island of Santorini, in Greece. Famous for its breathtaking sunsets, beaches, and whitewashed villages, Santorini is a spot where you and your partner can completely disconnect from everyday life and enjoy each other's undivided attention

A closer to home option is Kruger National Park, where you can choose somewhere far away from the hustle and bustle. Spend peaceful mornings on wildlife adventures and evenings stargazing or relaxing around a fire. Bonus points for areas with zero cell phone signal, giving you true undivided attention.

Physical Touch: A Relaxing and Intimate Escape

Couples whose love language is physical touch will thrive if they pick a romantic holiday that emphasises relaxation and intimacy. Bali is just the ticket. Firstly, it’s renowned for luxury spa retreats. In Ubud, try out couples' massages and wellness treatments which are designed bring you closer both physically and emotionally. Plus, there are loads of wellness retreats, gorgeous beaches for you to stroll along hand in hand, and even couples’ yoga classes to try.

Or take a trip to visit the hot springs of Iceland. This underexplored gem is home to the legendary Blue Lagoon, where the warm, mineral-rich waters naturally encourage relaxation and closeness. Visiting in winter might even treat you to the magical northern lights. And you know what that means: cosy evenings cuddled up beside roaring fireplaces while you keep an eye on the night skies.

Receiving Gifts: Meaningful Souvenirs and Surprises

For couples who like to show their love through receiving gifts (or giving them!), there are so many choices. The gift of a holiday (any holiday, let’s be honest) should already have you getting ready to exchange vows and live happily ever after. But although you could fall in love with any getaway, Dubai is hard to beat. Shop for special keepsakes at extravagant malls, spoil your loved one with unforgettable dining experiences, or enjoy surprise adventures like desert safaris or helicopter rides.

If your love language revolves around giving and receiving gifts, Dubai is a fantastic choice which ticks all the boxes. 

Alternatively, Japan is great for the couples who have ‘receiving gifts’ as their primary love language. Why? You’ll be spoilt for choice with beautifully wrapped souvenirs, handcrafted goods, and lots of deep symbolism. While you’re there you can spend time tracking down gorgeous, meaningful tokens of your love which will come to remind you of your Japanese adventure for years to come.

Acts of Service: Thoughtful Experiences

If your partner is an acts of service person, you’ll make them go weak at the knees with an all-inclusive resort which will make them feel appreciated and pampered. A luxury resort means they don’t have to lift a finger or make any decisions while they’re there.

Mauritius or Seychelles are both options which are near to home and there are loads of resort to choose from. Whichever one you choose, rest easy knowing they’ll handle every detail, allowing you both to simply enjoy each other’s company.

Alternatively, a couples’ cruise around the Mediterranean or to see the Northern Lights is an amazing choice too. They’ll be able to relax at a spa or chill by the pool, try out loads of different restaurants and bars, plus have different entertainment every night 0 and that’s before we even touch on the new places they’ll see during port days.

If your partner prefers being in the thick of things or experiencing the undiscovered parts of new places, then you already have your answer. A well-planned trip anywhere will be received with joy and appreciation. Plus, Flight Centre's expert advice can help you plan activities and travel details, showing your partner how much thought you've put into making their experience special.

Words of Affirmation: Romantic Conversations and Shared Experiences

Couples who value words of affirmation will find joy in destinations rich in history and beauty that encourage deep conversations and heartfelt expressions. Paris, known as the City of Love, is a dream destination for couples who cherish words of affirmation. What better place to whisper sweet nothings than beneath the Eiffel Tower or along the Seine? There’s definitely something poetic about a French rendezvous filled with charming cafes, art gallery visits, and Montmartre strolls. Just make sure you visit one of the many beautiful gardens or rooftop bars for a scenic spot which sets stage for a night of heartfelt conversations – your partner will fall even more deeply in love with you, we promise!
