Whether it’s a hike to share between two, or a candlelit dinner on the beach, Mauritius promises to deliver memories and experiences of a lifetime together and prepares to welcome its guests with gusto and luxury.

A tapestry of colours awaits couples as they drift along the currents, where you can hold hands and reminisce of the times you’ve had and dream about the times to come – all in the comfort of your exclusive catamaran boat on the lagoons nearby. Consider properties such as The Residence Mauritius for curated packages and the like, to make your experience easier.

Never let it be said that Mauritius doesn’t have it all – even the most thrill-seekers of partners can enjoy an adrenaline-fueled surge of fun with a breathtaking view of Mauritius on a parasailing run. Witness the beautiful lagoons and beaches of the country from a bird’s-eye view, working with experts and with many safety regulations to make sure you can enjoy the activity with no restraint.

Hiking

If you look hard enough, you’ll find research out there that suggests that vacations are good for your health. It seems obvious – everybody needs a break from their daily routine, an escape from the nine-to-five, and a chance to just get away. A nice place to visit is Bintan Island, part of the Indonesia archipelago – surrounded by nature’s delights and the epitome of man’s creature comforts. Perhaps a great place to escape, for two?

Visiting the Beach

You can hardly take a tropical visit to an island and not go to a beach – it seems almost a waste. However, even more so of waste would be the missed opportunities between you and your partner, sharing laughs, a fruity drink, and some sunshine together. Maybe you could take in a jet-ski ride together, and you may even find another activity just by looking around.

Going on Hikes

Like to adventure and exercise together? Why not go on a hike and support each other through the wilds of Bintan, strengthening your bodies and minds as well as the bond you share. There’s also the great sense of accomplishment and the shared memory of your achievement with your loved one to boot. On Bintan Island, it’s likely your accommodation will provide you a way to do exactly this!

Try out the Exotic Cuisine

Indonesia is world-renowned for its flavours! Savoury, sweet, sour, and everything in between –  the country offers a culinary experience that is sure to satisfy any palate. Exploring the culinary landscape of Indonesia is an adventure in itself, with each region showcasing its unique specialties and local ingredients. Whether you’re in bustling cities like Jakarta or tranquil islands like Bali, there are countless opportunities to indulge in the country’s culinary wonders. One of the fantastic ways to embark on this gastronomic journey is by dining at renowned restaurants found in luxury properties such as The Residence Bintan. These establishments provide a blend of traditional Indonesian cuisine and international influences, offering a wide range of delectable dishes prepared with the utmost care and expertise. You can savor iconic Indonesian dishes like nasi goreng (fried rice), rendang (spicy beef stew), gado-gado (vegetable salad with peanut sauce), or satay (grilled skewers), each showcasing the unique flavors and techniques of the region they originate from. Try all these and go on an unforgettable journey of culinary wonders with your partner.

Most people’s idea of a romantic getaway is a location by the water or high up in the mountains. Hoi An on a wonderful riverfront location offers a warm ambience assisted in no small part by its quaint architecture, lush greenery, riverside cafes and moped free winding lanes in the old part of town that invites romantic strolls on moonlit nights. There are a number of romantic resorts available for honeymooners too. Anantara Hoi An Resort in a leafy location by the Thu Bon River offers spacious, elegantly appointed split level guest rooms, junior suites and suites that open out onto balconies overlooking the river or garden.

Having been an important port in antiquity as well as from the 15th to the 19 centuries, Hoi An, particularly the old part of town, has quite a collection of quaint alleyways and historical and cultural features that exude a distinct atmosphere. This combined with its riverside setting makes it Vietnam’s most romantic town.

The best time to visit Hoi An is on the 14th day of each lunar month when the town switches off its lights for the full moon festival and is at its most romantic. At this time Hoi An is crowded with couples holding hands and enjoying the special atmosphere. After a romantic candlelit dinner in a cafe by the river many couples float a candle lit paper boat or a lotus down the river to bring them good luck, happiness and love. Others take a romantic cruise down the Thu Bon River. Then as the activity winds down towards mid night it is indeed romantic to stroll the streets to enjoy some of the city’s famed ancient landmarks such as the Japanese Bridge by moonlight in spite of the crowds. The best way to enjoy this very special occasion is to avail of the special romantic getaway packages offered by the hotels and resorts of the area during this period.
