If you’re dreaming of time away with your partner, I can tell you there’s nothing better than a secluded romantic getaway. Those quiet moments in beautiful, tucked-away places always end up being the most meaningful. You can find cozy cabins in the mountains, beachfront cottages with no one else in sight, or hidden inns where it feels like the world just slows down. Here are my favorites.
Highlights:
- Remote mountain cabins with fireplaces and starry-night hot tubs
- Private beachfront villas in the Outer Banks, Maui, or Big Sur
- Luxury glamping tents in the desert, forest, or near national parks
- Secluded lakefront lodges with paddleboards and picnic spots
- Hidden countryside inns with vineyard views and candlelit dinners
