The Maldives<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for a romantic setting where it\u2019s just you, your loved one, and the great outdoors, the secluded islands of the Maldives is it. With fabulous weather almost the whole year round and all the palm trees you could wish for, the tiny coral reef islands are a magical place to kick back and relax with your loved one. There\u2019s little to see and do, beyond snorkelling to see the exotic underworld of the Indian Ocean, or a trip to one of the many spa resorts, but with evocative sunsets, dazzling waters and sparkling golden sands in such ample supply, you\u2019ll likely never want to leave. For that undisturbed romantic stay, head to one of the thatched roof bungalows of Makunudu.<\/p>\n Venice, Veneto, Italy<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0 With its stunning architecture and mysterious passageways, Venice is the perfect hideaway for lovers. Glide down one of its many canals in a gondola, dine by candlelight on northern Italian dishes, and take a moonlit stroll through Piazza San Marco. Romance is guaranteed.<\/p>\n Bali<\/strong><\/p>\n The beaches of Bali are well trodden by all kinds of tourists, from backpackers to the well-heeled, and they also make for a sensational romantic destination. In the balmy waters of southern Asia, the Indonesian island, complete with verdant landscape, volcanic lakes and cultural gems, is as close to paradise as they come. Head to the Karma Kandara resort on Bali\u2019s secluded southernmost tip, a stunning architectural feat merging classic Balinese design with pure luxury. Snuggle up undisturbed in one of the beautifully furnished individual villas, which come with their own tropical courtyard, private pool and personal access to the beach. Enjoy candlelit cuisine at the cliff-face restaurant and sip champagne under the stars at the hotel\u2019s rooftop bar. One tip to note: it\u2019s wise to avoid monsoon season between December and March. Santorini, Greece<\/strong><\/p>\n If there were ever a place that could get by on its looks, it would be Santorini. Whitewashed cave houses framed by bougainvillea and backed by blue-domed churches spill down the rim of an ancient volcanic crater; at sunset, the Sea of Crete is bathed in a rosy glow. Yet as compelling as the scenery may be, Santorini\u2019s true appeal lies in its wealth of diversions\u2014extraordinary wines, black (or red or white) beaches, and archaeological sites from the prehistoric era.![\"\"](\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5524\/12084959053_60949e775c_o.png\")
