Romantic travel isn’t all rose petals and couples massages. It’s more about how you love exploring together, whether that’s snuggling under the Northern Lights in Finland, hiking through Patagonia in Chile or retreating to the only resort on the Hawaiian island of Lanai.
You may think your options are limited in winter. But the experts at Travel + Leisure disagree. Their list of the 15 Most Romantic Places to Go in January features everything from easy weekend getaways, like Sedona, Arizona (No. 8), where you can catch the famous rust-colored mountains dusted with snow, to far-flung vacays, like Cape Town, South Africa (No. 2), where January is summer and you can spend your days wine tasting and wildlife-ing in 70-degree weather.
