A Couple’s Guide to Making Your Trip More Romantic
There’s a moment at the beginning of a getaway when you finally exhale.
The bags are down. The ocean is somewhere nearby. Your partner looks a little more relaxed already, and for once, there’s nowhere you both need to rush.
This is the part you’ve been looking forward to.
A few days with room for long lunches, lingering glances, and evenings that deserve the outfit you tucked carefully into your suitcase.
Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, escaping for a weekend, or treating yourselves to time away, a little thoughtful planning can make your Nassau getaway feel wonderfully personal.
Consider this your invitation to turn up the romance.
Here are a few ways to bring a little more romance along—and make your time in Nassau feel as special as the person beside you.
Make Your Arrival an Occasion
Imagine your partner opening the door to your hotel room or Airbnb and pausing.
Soft candlelight. Rose petals. Something sweet. A note written just for them.
Then they turn to you with that smile.
You know the one.
A romantic welcome lets your partner know you’ve been thinking about this time together—and about them. Choose details they’ll appreciate, whether that’s flowers, chocolate, or a few handwritten words you don’t say nearly often enough.
“For the next few days, my favorite place to be is wherever you are.”
Feel free to borrow that. We’re happy to help you look good.

Find Your Kind of Indulgence
What does a beautiful afternoon together look like to you?
Perhaps it’s a couples massage, followed by a quiet evening with no reason to check the time. Perhaps it’s being out on the water, glasses raised as the light begins to soften. Or trying something creative together and discovering that one of you has rather more confidence than talent.
Every couple has their own rhythm. Give yourselves permission to follow yours.
Ask your partner, “What would make this trip feel special for you?”
Listen closely to the answer. They might want an adventure, a chance to be pampered, or simply an evening where you’ve taken care of every detail.
Choose an experience you’ll both look forward to. Let the anticipation become part of the pleasure.
Give the Evening Room to Unfold
Some dates deserve a little more time.
Time to get ready slowly. To notice each other. To enjoy a drink before dinner and stay for dessert afterward.
When planning your getaway, leave space around the moments that matter. An afternoon packed with activities can make a dinner reservation feel like one more appointment. A leisurely afternoon gives you the chance to arrive feeling rested—and perhaps a little flirtatious.
Choose the table where you can hear each other. Put your phones away. Ask a question you haven’t asked before.
“What would you love for us to do more of?”
“What’s a memory of us that still makes you smile?”
Or start with, “Have I told you how good you look tonight?”
An excellent conversation opener, in our opinion.
Make Staying In Feel Like a Treat
There’s something lovely about closing the door for the evening and knowing you have nowhere else to be.
Let your hotel room or Airbnb become the setting for a private date. Put on your favorite music, arrange a few treats, and settle into an evening made entirely for the two of you.
You could paint together, bring out a conversation game, or take turns giving each other a massage. A few considered touches—a softly lit room, a chilled drink, a favorite song—can make the evening feel special.
And staying in needn’t mean leaving your best outfit in the wardrobe.
You brought it for a reason. Give your partner the pleasure.
Choose Details Only You Would Know
A beautiful setting creates the mood. Personal details make it yours.
Play the song that takes you back to the beginning. Bring a photograph from your first holiday together. Write a note about something your partner does that still makes you feel loved.
If you’re marking an anniversary, take a moment to celebrate the life between the milestones: the laughter, the everyday kindness, the ways you’ve shown up for each other.
Tell them what you notice.
“I love that you can still make me laugh when I’m determined to be annoyed.”
“I’ve been looking forward to having this time with you.”
“There’s so much more I want us to experience together.”
A few sincere words can become the part of the evening they remember most.
