At Southern Travel Agency, February is arguably our favorite time of the entire year. Thanks to Valentine’s Day and the budding spring season just around the corner, romance always seems to be in bloom — and you know how much we love a good love story! As winter starts to fade, you may find yourself dreaming of your next romantic couples getaway. Whether you and your loved one are planning a quick trip or an extended holiday, we’re sharing our top 3 travel secrets to help ensure your next couples’ vacation is the best one yet!
These 3 Tips Will Make Your Next Couples’ Vacation Out of this World
#1 Go All-Out for an All Inclusive Resort
In today’s fast-paced world, our daily lives are filled with tasks and responsibilities. Often times, holidays away are the only opportunities we have to truly nourish our relationships. For couples who desire a space where they can reconnect, opting for an all-inclusive resort can maximize your precious quality time together.
Bonus tip:
To really up the romance, try splurging for butler service! With everything you need and more just steps from your suite, you’ll never have to leave each other’s side — but if you want to, there’s a world of social activity catered to couples like you waiting right outside your front door!
Real client experiences from all-inclusive resorts:
“The Sandals staff at Emerald Bay was so accommodating, there were so many restaurants to choose from, and the spa was outstanding. Not to mention the blue water was magnificent! We’re so glad we used Mike to plan our trip, and we will continue to use him. He made great suggestions on places we should go, made all the reservations, and supplied us with travel documents with an itinerary — all we had to do was just show up at the airport!”

#2 Try a New Activity Together
Research shows that couples who participate in novel activities together experience higher overall relationship quality — and there’s no better time to try something new than when you’re in a completely new environment! Whether you’re taking a cooking class in Rome, learning to scuba dive in the Caribbean Sea, or touring through the local museum to understand a new culture, these shared experiences often stand out as some of the most vivid memories upon returning home.
Bonus tip:
New stimuli sparks both creativity and romance, strengthening the bond between partners and reinforcing the feeling of being a team.
#3 Hire a Romance Travel Planner
For the ultimate treat, nothing says “I love you” like having a romance travel planner curate a tailor-made vacation for you and your lover.
Bonus tip:
Having a personal expert in the romance travel industry by your side means you and your partner can fully immerse yourself in the excitement and romance of your getaway, knowing someone else is on top of those stressful travel details. Plus, insider knowledge and personalized service mean your travel itinerary can be customized to your every whim and desire!
“We just returned from a two-week honeymoon at the Sandals resorts in Barbados and Grenada, planned by Southern Travel Agency. It was all so beautiful! As a true beach lover, I really appreciated how the atmosphere and focus of direction at the Sandals Barbados resort revolved around the incredible beach. Almost every restaurant had a full beach view. Thank you to Mike for finding the right fit for us. He truly listened to what we are looking for before making suggestions, and he set up beautiful packages for us. It was a very personal planning experience, and he helped make what we were wishing for a reality. Plus, he takes the stress out of planning. We never had to worry about timing or that things weren’t well organized. We’re already working with him on planning a family trip and another couple’s trip in the future!”
