Tips for an autumn romantic getaway for just the two of you

Ideas for a romantic Autumn

Spring is not the only time to awaken the butterflies in your stomach – autumn is just as good! Our Green Pearls® partners have collected a few ideas for romantic yet sustainable evenings, short trips, and holiday destinations that are sure to awaken those tingling feelings.

Wellness for two

The classic for a romantic date in autumn: taking time to relax together. You can do this at home with a nice bath and a relaxing massage. Bath salts and massage oils are available from natural cosmetics lines, so they’ re not only good for you, but also for the planet.

If you want to relax together without any preparation, you can of course also plan a day at the spa. Let yourself be completely pampered at the Lifestyle Resort zum Kurfürsten in Bernkastel-Kues on the Moselle. With massages and sauna along with culinary delights. At the Weihrerhof on the Ritten in South Tyrol, you can „lax” for a day and enjoy signature treatments with products from their own cosmetics line. A visit to the boathouse sauna followed by a swim in Lake Wolfsgrubner is the perfect way to end the day. At the ROMANTIC Boutique Hotel & Spa, guests can experience very special traditional Lithuanian treatments at the Ethno Spa, memories that are sure to last for a long time.

Short romantic break

The best way to really switch off is on holiday, even if it’s just a romantic weekend trip. During this time, you can be present only for yourselves. Everyday life is worlds away and it’s easy to concentrate on each other. Explore a foreign city together and make new memories. Milan, with its active, bustling city flair on the one hand and its quiet, romantic corners on the other, is a wonderful destination. The Hotel Milano Scala is right in the middle of it all, but still maintains a romantic atmosphere. From the roof terrace you can watch the sunset over the city undisturbed while enjoying a drink.

Things get really romantic in your own mountain lodge. The Summit Lodges in Pfunds and the holiday homes The Peak in Sölden offer just that: a private retreat in the mountains with everything a romantic’s heart desires. Fireplace, private sauna and a dreamlike view of the Alps.

(Sustainable) essentials for a romantic getaway:

Let family and friends know that you won’t be available
For the holiday home: shop in advance and plan your meals
Think about the journey: if you travel by train, you will have time for yourself and no one will be exhausted from driving in the evening

Romantic time out while escaping Autumn

Autumn is not your season? Then take the chance and escape. How about a relaxing, extended weekend in southern Italy? At the historic A’ Cràpa Mangia estate in the Cilenta National Park, an all-inclusive weekend awaits you with a romantic dinner, a fireplace and two special hiking suggestions from the estate owners.

For a longer trip to avoid autumn and spend romantic time with your favourite person, both Zeavola in Thailand and Cerf Island Resort in the Seychelles are perfect.

At Zeavola, minimalist, sustainable luxury awaits. The resort, styled like a traditional Thai village, offers retreats in your own romantic wooden bungalow with outdoor shower and a jungle feel.

Lonely white beaches, a private villa, and a romantic candlelight dinner on the beach: that’s what you’ll experience at Cerf Island Resort. A special trip not only for honeymooners or newlyweds, but also for long-term (perhaps already married) partners.

(Sustainable) essentials for a romantic vacation:

Prepare everything well before you leave so that you can start your holiday relaxed
Planning a surprise for your favourite person? Talk directly to your hotel! The local staff will be happy to prepare a special arrival for you
Water bottle, beach bag, coral-proof sunscreen: pack sustainably and not too much
