If your new relationship is going well, you might feel the time has come to enjoy a romantic trip together. In addition, the time away will provide an opportunity to get to know each other further, which could strengthen your connection.
As you will want the break to be as enjoyable as possible for both you and your other half, there are various steps to perform to ensure you have an unforgettable time. Read the following tips on how to plan your first romantic getaway:
Pick the Perfect Destination Together
Don’t rush into picking a destination for your first trip away. Instead, sit down with your other half to discuss the best possible options for you both. For example, if you have your heart set on a rural backdrop and your partner is eager to step onto a plane, picturesque Ireland is a worthwhile consideration for a vacation. It offers many beautiful destinations that are bound to take your breath away, from cultural Galway to scenic County Mayo.
Find a country or city that ticks every box on both your lists to avoid arguments before and during the getaway.
Choose the Perfect Accommodation
The accommodation you choose can make or break your trip. Sweep your partner off their feet by choosing a stunning spot that will allow you to focus 100% of your attention on them. For example, if you have your heart set on visiting the likes of Galway or County Mayo, you will be spoilt for superb options when browsing the various holiday homes in Ireland.
It will ensure you’re not bothered by noisy guests and can enjoy a private property in a stunning destination.
Plan a Relaxed Travel Itinerary
It is a wise idea not to overfill your travel itinerary with attractions, restaurants, and events, as it will leave little wiggle room for breakfast in bed, an off-the-cuff activity, or time to explore a destination. Plus, you might be so tired from the many plans to focus your full attention on each other.
Identify the sights and experiences you both want to enjoy during the break away and leave some space for a romantic stroll and heading off the beaten track.
Don’t Ignore Your Other Half
It might feel tempting to immerse yourself in a good book in your hotel room or to text your friends when out for dinner, but avoid doing so. As it is your first getaway together, you must try to be as present as possible for your other half. While you’re free to bring a book along with you, read it while they are showering, grooming, or enjoying a nap. It will make your partner feel as if they have your undivided attention, which can prevent frustration and arguments during a vacation.
Your first romantic getaway should be memorable for the right reasons. So, choose the perfect destination together, find the best accommodation options for your needs, and put down your phone to provide your significant other with your full attention.
