Ready to whisk your partner away on the ultimate romantic escape? I know how special it feels to take time just for each other—especially when life gets busy. Over the years, I’ve found that celebrating milestones, big or small, makes time feel like it slows down for a moment. It’s those getaways that stay with me the longest.

If you can carve out the time (and the budget), I truly believe these handpicked destinations around the world are worth it. I’ve either stayed at these hotels myself or dreamed about them for years—and each one has that magical quality that turns a trip into a memory you’ll both hold onto.
