We have all seen the images of couples strolling hand-in-hand along empty, sandy beaches; watching the playful flames in front of a fireplace at a mountaintop cabin, enjoying the scenery of foreign cities from a horse-drawn carriage - it is all tremendously magical, yet how many people can actually afford these elaborate escapes?
Although not everyone can afford a trip to Paris, Venice or Hawaii, romantic getaways are more in demand than ever. Couples need to spend quality time together and renew the passion they felt before responsibilities, jobs, and kids took over.
When planning romantic getaways, consider your interests as a couple, what you want to accomplish with this vacation, and how much money you can splurge on this escape. Although you may have your heart set on a Caribbean cruise, your finances may force you to shelve that dream for a while. Instead, you may have to settle for destinations closer to home.
Couples who enjoy urban landscapes, mountain air, and have a fascination for Japanese culture can fuel their passion at a Japanese mountain retreat at the foot of the magnificent Dandenong Ranges, not too far away from Melbourne. In these idyllic settings, lovers can unwind, pamper themselves, and enjoy each other's company without distractions.
Japanese-style mountain retreats offer more than luxury accommodations. While enjoying your holiday, you can sample from a variety of Japanese and Thai delicacies, such as 'Miso' soup, 'Gyoza' dumplings, 'Okonomiyaki' (savory pancakes), 'Chicken Kara Age,' marinated in soy sauce, or Korroke (potato croquettes). Scrumptious Japanese or Western-style meals can be served in your luxury suite all day long. Imagine, how magical it would be to surprise your honey with a six course banquette!
Aside from delicious meals, resort guests can also participate in a unique, yet traditional tea ceremony, which is conducted by a certified performer. Spa retreats are meant to be leisurely and luxurious, therefore, also encourage slumbering on traditional tatami mats, or finding the perfect tranquil waterside spot to watch the moon rise slowly over the retreat's eye-catching lake.
Away from the hustle of the city, it is time to truly relax. You can schedule a deep tissue massage, or enjoy your own private garden while soaking in the Ofuro (bath tub). Whatever helps you to unwind so you can dedicate your full attention to your partner, goes. Generally, the list of available spa services is quite extensive. They entail several types of soaks and massages, which are geared to relax both your body and mind. All guests will be able to chill out, even those who are worried about their delicate skin. Authentic Japanese mountain retreats will only use natural ingredients and curative essences for their spa and bathing rituals.
Romantic getaways can be planned any time of the year. You can abduct your partner for her (his) birthday; couples can celebrate their wedding anniversary in a secluded Japanese-style retreat; it can be a gift for newlyweds; consider it an amazing honeymoon destination, or it can be an unexpected surprise... a gesture to show your partner how deep and sincere your feelings truly are!
