The title already reveals everything there is to know about this post. We are almost all ready for the island and we have nothing against romance. The more romantic, the better! So let’s waste no time and start directly with our top list.
Number 1: Malta
Yes, you read that right, the Maltese archipelago, which consists of the main island as well as Gozo and Comino, is not only known for the rugged rocks and the numerous online casinos that stretch out of the Mediterranean. Many people visit these casinos online, but have never had the idea of getting on a plane and taking the almost three hours of flight. What a pity, but Malta is absolutely worth a trip! It is not only worthwhile for couples in love, but is also considered an insider tip for singles.
It is not unlikely to run into nice people and maybe even find your dream partner:
- while swimming, snorkeling or diving
- in one of the bars or in the restaurant
- at the language school
- when visiting the casino
- on the party mile in Paceville
- while shopping
Romantic Island Tip Number 2: The Galapagos Islands
If you are looking for romance in the distance and are willing to take on the almost 24-hour flight time, you can expect one of the most romantic places in the world. The Galapagos Islands are something very special. The nature is breathtaking and there are animals to see that you usually never get so close to:
- giant turtles
- playful dolphins
- imposing sea lions
- noble penguins
- wild cormorants
- impressive whales
On the Galapagos Islands, the world still seems to be in harmony and order. This is romance in its purest form.
No mass tourism desired on the dream island
Nature-loving romantics must register their visit to the tourist centre, because hospitality has its limits. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The island’s government makes sure that it is not overrun by crowds of tourists. This keeps the ecosystem in balance and preserves the wild romance so that many generations can enjoy the sight of whales and other inhabitants.
Romantic island tip number 3: Bali
Bali is no longer an insider tip, because it is widely known that it is one of the most beautiful islands in the world. The white sandy beaches, Asian hospitality and tropical beauty are praised. Bali must also be mentioned in this list of the most romantic islands. Whether in the water or on land, romance literally jumps into the viewer’s face.
Romantic Balinese sights:
- colorful coral reefs
- mystical temples
- picturesque volcanic mountains
- huge rice fields
- wild jungle with exotic animals
- traditional handicrafts
For a flight to Bali, about 16 hours must be planned. After landing, a completely different world opens up, offering many amazing aspects. It is the land of yogis, Nasi Goreng and temples, but also a land of contrasts and, above all, a place of romance.
Romantic island tip number 4: Island of Rügen
Some readers will now be surprised that a German island appears in this list. Many automatically associate the word “island” with long-distance destinations abroad. Yet it makes sense, in the truest sense of the word, to stay in Germany. The Baltic Sea island does not always offer the coveted bathing weather, but an island does not necessarily need it to be romantic.
What does Rügen have to offer that is romantic? Aplenty! The list is endless, but here are some of the best romantic spots:
- the roaring sea with huge waves in autumn or winter
- beautiful sandy beaches where you can build sandcastles and sculptures even as an adult
- picturesque towns with restaurants and culture, such as the theatre in Putbus and museums
- Beach promenades and hotels
- Interesting hiking trails
- the chalk cliffs
- romantic bays and hidden beaches
- probably the best fish sandwiches in the world
- picturesque harbours
Rügen is also good for last-minute decision-makers
How convenient that you don’t have to plan a trip around the world to spend a romantic getaway. Rügen (just like other, attractive Baltic Sea islands) is probably the easiest destination for people who are ready for the island. Especially outside the high season, you can always find accommodation for a weekend and can travel by car or train. This is realistic even if you live in Bavaria, for example. In addition to the romantic flair, the stay is also beneficial to health, as Rügen is an excellent climatic health resort due to the mild stimulating climate. So body, mind and soul can simply breathe a sigh of relief!
Romantic Island Tip Number 5: Tasmania
Tasmania, or rather the 51 Tasman Islands, is not only a romantic, but also a rather unusual destination. Tasmania is an Australian state and is located near Melbourne. One thing in advance: The flight easily takes 24 hours, which is why the destination is hardly suitable for a spontaneous romantic trip. But that’s exactly what Tasmania does for Europeans. The Tasman Islands are foreign to us, which is why our curiosity is aroused.
What we will discover in Tasmania :
- there is supposedly the best air in the world
- Tasmanian Devils
- Wallabies
- Coastal camping (ultra-romantic!)
- The city of Hobart with the famous Theatre Royal
- a breathtaking backdrop of deserted beaches, rugged cliffs and impenetrable rainforest
- Adventure in the wilderness like probably nowhere else in the world
Tasmania is perfect for outdoor romantics
If you think away some quite dangerous, poisonous animals , wild romance remains. Tasmania is not for couch potatoes, because the attraction lies in the call of the wild. If you want, you can feel like Robinson Crusoe in Tasmania, because the island is very sparsely populated. So you can be alone if you want to enjoy the peace and quiet – or togetherness, depending on your romantic preference. In Tasmania, you can experience outdoor and campfire romance that freedom-loving nature lovers long for.
Ready for an island? Everyone can find their romantic oasis
In the top 5, distant islands were mentioned in the first place, but also alternatives in the vicinity. An island stay can touch the heart, heal the body and relax the soul. You can’t always pack your things and head for an island. That’s why romance experts recommend creating your own little “islands” at home.
This can mean many things:
- taking time off
- create oases of well-being at home (bathroom, balcony, a rocking chair)
- to reflect on oneself and one’s loved ones
- to respect nature
- to smile and laugh
- to take time for idleness
- just consciously make yourself comfortable
