The Best Group Trips to Take With Your Partner
The surest way to make your travel experiences more memorable is by sharing them with your favourite person. That doesn’t mean you should have to do all the planning, though. With that in mind, here are the best group trips for couples, which you can book with Culture Trip.
Seductive Southern Italy, for a romantic Italian road trip
Romance and Italy go together like mozzarella and tomatoes, which makes our sweeping adventure along the country’s west and east coasts a perfect itinerary for travelling couples. We’ll start off by falling in love with the street food of Naples – Sfogliatella, aubergine parmigiana and pizza (of course) – before driving south along the sumptuous Amalfi Coast. Stop off for gelato in quaint seaside towns, spend an afternoon sunbathing on the beach and go on a cruise along the coastline. Then it’s time to head east, stopping off at the ancient town of Matera and cycling through the vineyards of the Itria Valley before reaching the sea once more. We’ll bask in the beauty of Polignano a Mare’s beaches, sample Puglian olive oil and explore a range of charming towns and cities along the east coast, ending in Lecce, the Florence of the South.
Blissful Bali, for waterfalls, beaches and sunrise mountain views
If you’re after something more immersive then book your place on our 12-day Bali extravaganza – the ultimate retreat for couples in search of an escape. Our trip blends the region’s overwhelming natural beauty with the unique cultures of local communities. You’ll embrace Balinese tradition by making your own sacred offering to place at Batukaru Temple, before embarking on a rural village trek through hillside rice paddies. From there you’ll get to splash about together in Banyumala Twin Waterfalls, try FlyHigh yoga and master the local cuisine with a Balinese cooking class. On day five you’ll make memories for life as we hike Mount Batur at sunrise, gazing in awe at the beauty of Bali in its best light at the top. Then we’ll go for a mini island retreat in Gili Trawangan. Here you’ll barbecue on the beach, snorkel with sea turtles and kick back at our gorgeous island resort. Having thoroughly detoxed at the hotel spa and made the most of the stunning infinity pool, not to mention pristine island beaches nearby, we’ll return to Bali for a traditional Balinese blessing ceremony, the perfect way to cap off a truly special couple retreat.
Epic Morocco, for dazzling cities and desert stargazing
Morocco is one of the most eclectic and enriching places you can visit, so this comprehensive 11-day tour of the country is a real trip-of-a-lifetime, worthy of a special occasion or a special person. You’ll get locally guided tours of electric cities like Marrakech, Casablanca and Fes, but you’ll also get to experience the serene majesty of the Atlas Mountains and the desert sunsets of the Sahara. Highlights include a visit to the magical blue city of Chefchaouen, a home-cooked meal shared with a friendly local family, and an incredible hike through Dades Gorge. The romance really ramps up in the Sahara, however, where we’ll stay at a luxurious desert camp, have wine tasting and stargazing sessions, as well as an unforgettable sunrise camel ride through the Sahara.
