Romantic Getaways: Room for Two
Jenny Hontz - Newsweek


| | Hacienda San Angel in Puerto Vallarta is an exquisite boutique hotel decorated with museum antiques. | The weather may be cooling off, but there's nothing like a romantic getaway to heat things up again. Plenty of resorts cater to lovebirds or honeymooners with special settings, accommodations and services.
 These sultry spots should help rekindle any flagging flame:
 If you plan to pop the question, try the Perfect Proposal package at Hacienda San Angel in Puerto Vallarta, an exquisite boutique hotel decorated with museum antiques. Drink in a view of the Bay of Banderas during a private wine-pairing dinner on your terrace. After dessert and champagne, a chartered plane will shower you with rose petals just as you drop to your knee. Who could say no to that? (haciendasanangel.com)
 Las Ventanas al Paraíso on the Sea of Cortez in Los Cabos is a favorite hideaway of celebrity honeymooners. Try a secluded torch-lit din-ner on the beach, or a six-course tasting menu featuring chocolate in every dish. Then retire to your terrace Jacuzzi. (lasventanas.com)
 Take a dip in your private plunge pool and shower outdoors at the luxurious new Wailea Beach Villas in Maui. Hire a private chef and pamper yourself and your beloved with in-room Lomi Lomi massages. Then sail on the Alii Nui catamaran to a hidden spot teeming with sea turtles. (waileabeachvillas.com)
 Le Saint Géran in Mauritius is so remote you'd never expect to find an Alain Ducasse restaurant or Givenchy spa on site. Relax and let your private butler handle everything at this exclusive Indian Ocean resort. (oneandonlyresorts.com) |
