Another destination steeped in history: Udaipur isn’t called the ‘City of Lakes’ without reason. The Oberoi Udaivilas itself is situated on the banks of Lake Pichola, spanning 30 acres of gardens and canals inspired by the city itself.

If royal treatment is what you desire, you’ll find it at this award-winning luxury resort, whether it be at lunch in a private boat overlooking the peaceful lake, a candlelit dinner for 2 under the stars, a luxurious session in The Oberoi Spa’s spa suite for couples, or a pampering sleep-in within its awe-inspiring suites.

Planning a couple’s retreat in Croatia and unsure of where to start? Villa Dubrovnik would be our top recommendation as far as romantic accommodation goes; tried, tested and cherished also by seasoned travellers Elyna Effendi in the past.

Firstly, the views: situated on the Dalmatian Coast and a short walk from Sveti Jakov Beach, Villa Dubrovnik is one place where you’d actually be hard-pressed to find a spot without dazzling views of the surrounding oceans, hills and old-world towns.

For a little privacy, opt for the Romance Suite here. It comes with a 28sqm private terrace with luxurious loungers to watch the sunset over the sea, an in-room Jacuzzi, 24-hour room service and an en-suite glass wall bathroom with full shading.

Get ready for something extraordinary: Rosewood Luang Prabang's gorgeous interiors are enhanced by the beauty of its untouched green surroundings.

While the resort’s lavish French-Lao-style suites haven’t escaped our notice, we’re guessing there’s a couple out there who’d be willing to go a step further (or higher, more accurately) with a stay at the Hilltop Tents.

A night or two in this luxury tent overlooking the dazzling mountains outside and you’ll not want to leave. This glamping experience comes with a luxurious bathtub and rain shower, WiFi as well as an oversized balcony to soak in those amazing views over breakfast.
