7 Paradise Trips for Pairs

Like two peas in a pod, some people travel best in a pair. From booking side-by-side seats on a plane, to comfortably sharing an Uber, it seems many travel protocols are simply perfect for two.

The Eat, Heal, Travel team has seven ideas for your next couples trip. Whether traveling with your best friend, a family member, or your sweet Valentine, here are options for a traveling duo.

1) Adventure Parks: Pairs are perfect for theme parks and amusement rides. Most roller coasters are built for two, which is why couples can have a great time. Together you’ll enjoy the thrill of each ride and keep one another entertained in long lines.

2) Ski Lodges: Always wise to have a partner when you hit the slopes. Not only will you share the chairlift, you’ll have someone by your side in case of an injury or a fall. Many ski resorts and lodges cater to couples with activities and deals. A ski trip may also ignite sparks in a romantic relationship with an exhilarating day of physical activity followed by a cozy night by a warm fire.

3) Cruises: If you’ve ever enjoyed a cruise, you know that the cabins provide rather tight quarters, which is why they’re ideal for couples longing for closeness. While a cruise could easily be enjoyed alone, it is often fun to have a buddy along for excursions and wandering exotic ports. Additionally, cruise pricing is often ideal for duos looking for package deals or discounts.

4) Hotel Packages: Check hotel websites for discounts, deals, and package options. Even if you aren’t a romantic couple, any traveling pair might benefit from a set “romance package” or other special offerings. From fine wine baskets to dinner-for-two at the onsite restaurant, there are often couples packages that could save you two some hard-earned dough.

5) Spa Getaways:

Resorts and spas are always a fabulous choice.

You can find a wide range of structured getaways with menu items for a couple’s massage, fitness programs for friends, and spa services for any pair looking for pampering. Depending on your tastes, you can find an array of settings for dynamic spa experiences close to home or around the world.

6) Scenic Places: Whether a friendly trip or a romantic weekend, anyone can enjoy nature’s beauty. Lovebirds, however, often opt for a scenic setting. Notoriously romantic spots include the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the canals of Venice, the red landscape of Sedona, and the mountains of Asheville.

7) Special Events: Always research event calendars and compare seasonal rates before you book. For example, February is a fantastic time of year for low-season rates and events. In addition to Mardi Gras in New Orleans, you’ll find numerous carnivals and festivals around the world this time of year.

We hope these ideas help you choose a perfect trip for you and that special someone. Let us know via Twitter or Facebook where you think traveling pairs can find paradise. Eat well, live long, and travel far!
