When it comes to romantic getaways, the most magical experiences often lie beyond the usual tourist hotspots. Whether you're planning a honeymoon, an anniversary trip, or a spontaneous escape with your partner, these hidden gems offer secluded beauty, intimate settings, and unforgettable memories. Here are 10 hidden romantic destinations you’ve likely never heard of but should definitely visit in 2025.
Forget Napa — Colchagua Valley is Chile’s best-kept secret for wine-loving couples. This lush region is dotted with boutique vineyards, charming haciendas, and breathtaking Andean backdrops. Sip world-class Carménère wines, enjoy private vineyard tours, and indulge in candlelit dinners under the stars.
While Bali and Lombok steal the spotlight, Gili Meno remains an untouched paradise. This tiny island offers white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant coral reefs perfect for snorkelling. With no cars or motorbikes, just the sound of waves and whispering palm trees; it’s the ultimate romantic escape.
Tucked away in the Austrian Alps, Hallstatt looks like a scene from a fairy tale. Its pastel-coloured houses reflect off a serene lake, surrounded by towering mountains. Take a boat ride at sunset, stroll hand-in-hand through cobblestone streets, and savour hearty alpine cuisine in cosy lakeside cafes.
This cliff-top village near Tunis is a Mediterranean dream. Picture whitewashed buildings with vibrant blue doors, narrow winding streets, and panoramic sea views. Share mint tea at a rooftop café, explore local art galleries, and watch the sunset over the sparkling Gulf of Tunis.
Skip the crowds of Amalfi and head to Puglia, where romance thrives in olive groves, whitewashed villages, and hidden coves. Stay in a traditional "trullo" (a conical stone house), savour fresh seafood by the Adriatic Sea, and explore charming towns like Alberobello and Ostuni.
El Nido is an archipelago of dramatic limestone cliffs, hidden lagoons, and turquoise waters. Rent a private boat to explore secluded beaches, snorkel in crystal-clear bays, and enjoy a beachfront dinner as the sun dips below the horizon.
While Santorini and Mykonos are famous for romance, Folegandros offers the same stunning sunsets without the crowds. Wander through the whitewashed village of Chora, perched on a cliff with breathtaking views. Enjoy quiet beaches, traditional tavernas, and an authentic Greek island vibe.
Lake Bled is a hidden gem that feels straight out of a storybook. A medieval castle perched on a cliff overlooks the emerald lake, with a tiny island and picturesque church at its centre. Row a boat to the island, ring the wishing bell together, and soak in the enchanting alpine scenery.
Known as the "Garden Island," Taveuni is a lush paradise with waterfalls, vibrant coral reefs, and hidden beaches. Hike through tropical rainforests, snorkel in the Rainbow Reef, and watch the sunrise from the international dateline — literally the first place to greet the new day.
Just an hour from Lisbon, Comporta is an under-the-radar beach haven where rice paddies meet the Atlantic Ocean. Think bohemian vibes, chic boutique hotels, and deserted stretches of sand. It’s perfect for couples seeking a laid-back yet sophisticated retreat.
