While we tend to think most of romance around Valentine's Day, our favorite romantic vacations are guaranteed to rekindle a long-standing romance, or kick a new one up a notch, all year long.
Whether you choose to cuddle up on a gondola ride in Venice, snuggle under a blanket on a caleche ride in Quebec City, dance cheek-to-cheek in Buenos Aires, spend long days canoodling on spectacular islands like Bora Bora, Santorini, and Nevis, cruise magical Halong Bay, or discover breathtaking Dubrovnik together, you're bound to feel a renewed (or new) sense of intimacy with your partner.
Of course, no list of this sort would be complete without a nod to Paris, the epitome of romantic cities (and site of countless marriage proposals), but dear Santa Barbara, closer to home, is just as ripe for a tryst, with countless spas and vineyards in the vicinty sure to help you and yours relax – and lose your inhibitions.
