Everyone loves an extravagant getaway to the Amalfi Coast or Paris, but the truth is, there are a lot of dreamy and ultra-romantic destinations to experience throughout the U.S. From quiet seaside escapes (in Georgia, the Hamptons, Florida, and Hawaii) to charming small towns (Michigan, Oregon) to chic mountain escapes (Aspen) to treehouses (California) to bustling big cities (NYC) — a plethora of wonder, adventure, relaxation (and yes, romance) await.
Whether planning an anniversary trip, honeymoon, or an intimate weekend away ‘just because,’ the following romantic US destinations (and top-tier Airbnbs) will surprise and delight. Among a few of our favorites:
