Find romance and adventure at every turn—we’ve rounded up four dreamy getaways to some of the farthest reaches of the globe.

There’s nothing quite like the anticipation of a romantic adventure to spice things up. It’s the next best thing to being there! We’ve rounded up a sampler of four dreamy getaways to some of the farthest reaches of the globe.

Each and every one of our trips can be tweaked to set the stage for romance wherever you choose to go: We can ensure seclusion and privacy, and add tailored, extraordinary experiences that a couple will never forget.

Whether you want to spend a night in a luxury palace in Rajasthan, an opulent lodge set in the fjords of Patagonia, or in a cozy treehouse under gauzy netting and the bright skies of the bush, we can make your honeymoon, anniversary, or ultimate romantic adventure happen.

From the Bush to the Beach

Calling all lovebirds! This epic safari starts with a wedding celebration in the wild, featuring a Maasai Blessing Ceremony and a sundowner celebration. It continues with a honeymoon journey through the savannahs of the Masai Mara and a stay at the classic, tented Richard’s River Camp. Then it’s up to the rustic luxury of Borana Lodge for an immersion in another part of Kenya’s magical, wildlife-rich landscapes. You’ll score romantic bonus points with a beachfront island retreat at Manda Bay on the impossibly romantic Swahili Coast.

PLAN YOUR ADVENTURE

Honeymoon at the End of the Earth

This itinerary combines two bucket-list destinations in one spectacular journey. Start your trip exploring the epic landscapes and stunning lodges of Chile’s Lakes District and southern Patagonia’s Torres del Paine National Park, where steep sierras meet cobalt waters. Next, board a grand but small cruise ship and set sail for the icy waters of Antarctica, where the wild grandeur of the seascape rivals only the cozy luxury of your cabin.

From Northern Tip to Southern Tail, an Epic New Zealand Adventure

New Zealand is arguably the most beautiful country in the world, which qualifies it as an awe-inspiring setting for a transformational couples adventure. From wild, forested coastlines and endless sandy beaches, to snow-capped pinnacles and breathtaking bays, this is the land to truly experience sea to summit. There is nothing better than concluding the trip in the comfort of a resplendent, romantic hotel after a day of trekking and biking around the country’s adventure capital, Queenstown. We’re all in agreement: This voyage has all the greatest-hit elements of a bold but dreamy and idyllic wedding anniversary destination.

Say "I Do" with Nature as Your Witness

Whether you and your partner envision exchanging intimate vows on a secluded rocky shore amidst the calm of a temperate rainforest, or your style leans more towards a helicopter ride to an altar atop a mountain glacier, we can turn those wild dreams into reality. For those looking for a destination wedding just for two, British Columbia’s Nimmo Bay is simply one of our favorite Northern American UNCHARTED Outposts. They have turned the romance up to 10 (and beyond), and can create experiences for couples looking for smaller ceremonies, vow renewals, or “honeylopes”—which combines the elopement and the honeymoon all in one. What’s not to love?
