Irresistibly Sexy Summer Getaways for Two

Make this summer hotter than ever with romantic vacation plans that will instantly set the mood. Get inspired here!
By Charli Penn · Updated October 27, 2020
01
On Your Mark, Get Set, Go!

Are you ready to have an unforgettable vacation moment with the one you love? We want you to have it too! And, here’s how…

02
Rent A Private Beach House

Picture this: You pull up to a secluded home on a quiet beach with views that take your breath away, and the only things on your to-do list for the week are kissing, cooking and cuddling. What more do you need to set the mood? Look for last minute deals on private beachfront properties near you and consider renting a larger home with other couples to really cut down on costs.

03
Find Bliss In Arizona

Waking up to picturesque panoramic mountain views is the perfect way to begin a day of bliss with your boo. Escape to Sedona, located in Arizona’s high desert, and enjoy abundant sunshine, clean air and secluded resorts where peace and privacy reign supreme.

04
Visit ‘The Vineyard’

Although billionaires are the only ones who can actually afford their own private islands, an expertly planned getaway to Massachusetts’ Martha’s Vineyard will make you feel like you can too. The island is so large and beautiful, it’s easy to find your own quiet little corner of heaven. Each island town is unique in its geography, personality and character, and the only way to get there is by romantic ferry or plane ride.

05
Play Naughty and Nice in Vegas

The summer nights never end in Las Vegas, which makes it the ideal escape for any couple looking for a vacation filled with long laughs, great fun and a string of unforgettable nights. You know what they say: “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” So, don’t you think it’s high time you two booked your stay there?

06
Go South of the Border

Tequila and time off are the perfect combination for instant relaxation with the one you love. Head across the border to one of Mexico’s lavish resort locations (we recommend Cozumel or Cabos San Lucas) for all-inclusive luxury. Pay before you stay and enjoy unlimited fun in the sun, poolside cocktails and opulent accommodations.

07
Jamaica’s Calling You

Of all the Caribbean hotspots, Jamaica’s best known for its sultry hot and humid nights and lively party scene. Fall asleep in each others’ arms inside the comfort of a cabana or beach hammock by day and share island-inspired cocktails and the dance floor by night. While there, you can make love to the care-free sounds of reggae’s finest, and wake up each morning ready to repeat another day in paradise. Now that’s what we call bliss!

08
Spend the Weekend in Miami Beach

South Beach is known for the loud music and young, rowdy crowds, but not all of Miami Beach deserves a bad rep. Book a weekend on North Beach, the quieter side of town, and check in to a luxurious art-deco inspired oceanfront suite with picturesque beach views and so much privacy you might just forget you’re visiting one of Florida’s most popular beach destinations. Plus, getting there won’t even put a dent in your savings. During the summer months, unbelievable flight deals to Miami are always in abundance. Hurry, before the seats fill up.

09
Go See San Diego

With over 70 miles of beautiful beaches, countless parks and gardens and endless opportunities for pampering at one of the area’s many spas and resorts, sunny San Diego is the perfect place for his and hers relaxation.

Getty Images
10
Escape to Lake Tahoe

Yearning for a true moment alone with him? Lake Tahoe Nevada is the answer to your prayers. Pitch a tent, cuddle up together and take in one of the West’s most beautiful sunsets. It may not be Vegas, but we promise, whatever happens in the tent, well… you know how the rest goes.
