What to take on a romantic holiday?

**Collaborative Feature**

Romantic holidays may not happen very often but when they do, they are super special and completely different from the average holiday you may go on. Whether it’s a honeymoon, an anniversary trip away, or just an excuse to reconnect and spend more time with your loved one, it’s likely you’ll spend more time in your hotel than venturing out of it. They are a chance to reconnect, talk without disruption and feel closer when you may have become distant or overwhelmed with daily life's stresses. Because of this, you’ll have to be well prepared when you’re packing for your romantic holiday. 

This guide offers a quick list of things for you to consider taking on your next trip away with your other half, including three important tips to remember before you go.

What do I pack for a romantic holiday?

A least one cocktail dress! It’s true what they say. When you look your best, you feel your best. Packing the nicest clothes that you feel your best in will ensure you make your trip special and feel confident in everything you do. Even if you don’t think you’ll be eating out for nice meals while you’re away, remember to pack at least one cocktail dress and some dressier outfits in case you do find yourself going out for some fancy food.

Your favourite perfume

Sensuality is often associated with smell, so make sure to also pack your favourite perfume on your romantic getaway. For those planning their honeymoon or big anniversary, buying a brand-new perfume will help you remind yourself of your trip and the time you spent together every time you spray it when you get back home.

Matching lingerie set

A must-have for any romantic holiday is beautiful lingerie. Treat yourself to a couple of new underwear sets or some sexy lingerie to make your getaway with your partner truly unforgettable - and then bring the magic back home with you as well. Not only will a well fitted set make you feel better too but they will last for many more romantic nights away and getaways too. 

Massage oils

Always dreamed of giving your other half a sensual massage but never had the time for it? A romantic getaway will have plenty of opportunities to indulge in this luxury so make sure to add some massage oils to your suitcase before you head to the airport. Giving each other a massage is also a great way to help each other relax and reconnect in a calming way as it can help release achy tired muscles from any stresses you may have been carrying. 

Nice pyjamas

Nothing makes a woman feel more beautiful than waking up in luxurious silky pyjamas. Coupled with a great tan from hours lying outside in the sun, nice pyjamas will help you relax and get a great night’s sleep ready for even more romantic adventures in the day.

3 things to remember for your romantic holiday

Try to avoid peak season

Outside of school holidays and the regular summer holiday season, prices are cheaper, you can have the whole hotel to yourselves, and everything is a lot less busy in general. 

Don’t feel bad about never leaving the hotel

A romantic trip implies that you’ll spend more time in the hotel than out of it, so don’t feel bad if you don’t get to see all the sights at your holiday destination. Instead, enjoy the quality time you get to spend reconnecting with your partner.

Turn your phone off

Keep your phones and electronics in your room or in a drawer to help you focus on each other while you’re away. You’ll experience a lot more together when there are no distractions. If you have children or any responsibilities, you are worried about missing you can always leave your hotel or accommodations contact details for "emergencies only" that way you know if there is an emergency people have another way to contact you without you needing to keeping checking your phones. 

Using this short packing guide and these three essential tips, you can ensure your next romantic holiday is one you truly won’t forget in a hurry. All that's left to do now is decide where to go? Let me know in the comments where you would love to plan a romantic break too.
