The agents at Pineapple Escapes can help you decide on a destination that will help you and your partner unwind, reconnect, and fall even more in love with each other!
Romance in the West
Lake Tahoe, Nevada
Lake Tahoe is tucked away in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, offering a stunning natural setting for a romantic getaway! It is home to picturesque mountain and water views, a variety of wellness offerings, and enchanting streets lined with numerous shopping and dining options. Treat you and your partner to a romantic cruise over Lake Tahoe at sunset, take a scenic gondola ride together to witness spectacular panoramic Lake Tahoe views, or relax at Sierra Hot Springs in one of the natural pools after a long day of adventuring. Spending a weekend in Lake Tahoe would be perfect with the one you love!
Sedona, Arizona
Combine deserts, canyons, and mountains and you have yourself a romantic destination! You can find all of that and more in the beautiful town of Sedona. Whether you want to fill your weekend with activities like picnicking along Oak Creek, sharing a bottle of wine on a scenic vista, watching wildlife in a secluded spot, or just lounging poolside in the Valley, there is no better way to reconnect as a couple than with a trip here! When the temperature rises, set aside some time for a tandem massage at one of the many spas, relax in one of the quaint coffee shops, or visit an art gallery at Hillside Sedona. Couples searching for the most romantic weekend getaway in the West should consider Sedona!
Maui, Hawaii
Maui, also known as “The Valley Isle,” is home to world-famous beaches, the sacred lao Valley, views of migrating humpback whales, farm-to-table cuisine, and gorgeous sunrises and sunsets from Haleakala. It is no wonder Maui is considered one of the most romantic destinations in the United States! Whether you and your honey want to surf some waves, take a hike on the area’s diverse terrain, relax on a stunning beach, or take a helicopter tour over the sparkling blue ocean, Maui will more than live up to your expectations. A tropical destination offering both adventure and relaxation makes Maui the ultimate romantic weekend getaway!
Romance in the South
Key West, Florida
Breathtaking sunsets, long walks on the beach, bicycle rides – these are the things you think you can only find in Hollywood’s most romantic movies. Think again! They also happen to be some of the things you can do in Key West during your romantic weekend getaway with your partner! Go on a bike ride down the winding streets of one of Key West’s most historic areas, Old Town, to find architecture dating back to the 18th century. If you want to witness the most spectacular sunset you have ever seen, head over to Mallory Square for the nightly sunset celebration. Here, you can be entertained by local street performers and sip on a glass of wine as you watch the sky turn brilliant colors of red, pink, and orange before your eyes. You cannot visit Key West without going sailing. During your sailing adventure, make sure you hop off the sailboat to snorkel in the beautiful water! Key West will truly offer you a romantic adventure of a lifetime!
Savannah, Georgia
No place shows hospitality like the south, and Savannah is no exception! With its relaxing atmosphere, wide range of dining options, and cozy accommodations, it is no surprise that so many couples come here to experience a special getaway together! Have a picnic under the oak trees covered in Spanish moss in Forsyth Park, one of the most iconic spots in all of Savannah. Take a magical carriage ride while you soak in the stunning architecture of the city. Check out the famous Historic District with a fun trolley tour! If you and your partner are history buffs and appreciate southern hospitality, this may be the best romantic weekend getaway destination for you!
Fredericksburg, Texas
The charming town of Fredericksburg is the perfect place for couples searching for a low-key romantic getaway in the Lone Star State! Fredericksburg is nestled in the heart of Texas Hill Country, which is known for its rolling hills, beautiful scenery, and wineries. Take a sunset hike in Enchanted Rock State Park and snap a picture next to the iconic pink granite dome. Go shopping on Main Street where you will find cute stores filled with jewelry, home goods, clothing, and art. Make sure you stop for ice cream or homemade fudge while you are there too! If you and your partner love wine, you must experience a wine tour. You can either go on one of Fredericksburg’s famous wine tours, or hop on the Wine Road 290 shuttle bus when you are ready to sample the area’s most delicious wine. If small town charm is your thing, you cannot go wrong by choosing Fredericksburg for your romantic weekend getaway!
Romance in the Northeast
Bar Harbor, Maine
Bar Harbor, also known as the “Gateway to Acadia National Park,” is situated on Mount Desert Island on the stunning Frenchman’s Bay. On this island you will find Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on the eastern seaboard. Think ocean cliffs, rocky beaches, glacier-formed lakes, and boreal forest. What I love about Cadillac Mountain is that it is often the first place you can see the sunrise in the country! Visiting in the summer? Do some whale watching in the bay – a popular feeding ground for whales during the summer months. A day trip to Acadia National Park is a must! Drive the 27-mile Park Loop Road to see the prettiest oceanside cliffs and mountain forest. Make sure you stop at some of the most popular attractions during your drive, like Thunder Hole and Sand Beach. Bar Harbor is truly a magical place that is sure to capture your hearts during your romantic weekend getaway!
New York City, New York
From remarkable sunsets to dazzling city lights, New York City provides the most romantic backdrop for couples! Savor gourmet cuisine and sip on champagne while setting sail on a sunset cruise in New York City Harbor. During your cruise, you will spot some of the city’s most iconic sites, like the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, and Ellis Island! Make sure you take a horse drawn carriage ride through Central Park. Now that is an experience that would rival the iconic romantic films gracing the silver screen! Take a romantic stroll along one of the oldest bridges in the country, the Brooklyn Bridge. Go at night when the lights turn on and steal a sweet kiss under the famous arches of the bridge! A weekend trip to the “Big Apple” would be incredible for couples who enjoy a lively atmosphere and want to live out their big city dreams!
Stowe, Vermont
Located at the base of Mount Mansfield, Vermont’s highest peak, Stowe is a four-season destination that has hosted travelers for many years! Its endless outdoor adventure, iconic scenic views and small-town charm combined make it the perfect destination for a romantic weekend getaway for any type of couple. Soar over the Green Mountains in a hot air balloon with your favorite person. Hike to a cascading waterfall like Bingham Falls or Moss Glen Falls, where you can take a dip in the water or simply enjoy the view. Ride the gondola to the top of Mount Mansfield, then take an exhilarating zipline ride down the mountain. There are so many opportunities in this town for you and your partner to connect and fall deeper in love! It would surely make for a great romantic weekend getaway!

Make sure you visit Sleeping Bear Dunes, recently named one of “The Most Beautiful Places in America” by Good Morning America. Here, you can hike up one of the towering dunes for an unobstructed view of the turquoise-blue waters of Glen Lake. Traverse City is the Cherry Capital of the World. You cannot visit the city without trying a slice of sweet, crumbly cherry pie, or signing up for a cherry pie eating contest! Take a tour of Mission Point Lighthouse, located on the tip of Old Mission Peninsula, and stop at one of the ten or so vineyards along the Old Mission Peninsula Wine Trail on your way back into town! Traverse City would be a great choice for your weekend getaway if you are looking for an awesome destination in the Midwest!
Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri
Conveniently located in the heart of Missouri sits the state’s most popular lake destination, Lake of the Ozarks.
