Find a destination that works best for the kind of getaway you have in mind. If you seek silence and privacy, opt for a dreamy and remote destination.
Escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life in order to enjoy blissful isolation with your partner is refreshing.

Balance is important. Although you may want to explore your destination and try out some of the activities available, downtime is also essential.
Outside of all the fun, exploration and activities, be intentional about setting time to just relax together. What your downtime looks like is completely up to you. For example, it can include simply staying in the hotel room all day and ordering room service.
Choose activities that are new to the both of you
Only a few things in life are better than experiencing new things with your partner. On your itinerary, be sure to include some activities which are new to the both of you. These can range from ziplining to pottery or any other activity which is new and interesting to the both of you.
New experiences can deepen your bond, increase excitement and add to the overall positive mood of your getaway.

Incorporate a digital detox
Being away with your partner is also a great time to practice mindful presence. Place your cellphones and other devices in the hotel safe and fully immerse yourselves in the experience. This will make room for active listening, as well as deep, beneficial and undistracted conversations.
Capture some memories
Although you do not want to turn your entire holiday into a photoshoot, capturing memories is important. As such, it is advisable to keep your camera nearby to capture a few special moments. After all, pictures are the perfect way to travel back in time and re-live moments which shaped the romantic getaway of a lifetime.
