Here are 6 amazing destinations in the US for your next romantic holiday:
1. Maui, Hawaii
On Maui, there’s no wrong answer to ‘What shall we do today?’ Wherever you turn, there’s something to see and do, something fun, something cultural and historic, something indulgent, something amazingly scenic. It is where your island dreams come true. The second largest of the Hawaiian Islands, Maui as a destination has the ideal tropical weather and sandy beaches, in addition to a range of luxurious properties to stay in.
For adventure lovers, an option to hike in Haleakala National Park is also an invigorating choice. The Pipiwai Trail has photo stops at a massive banyan tree, an eerie bamboo forest, and Makahiku and Waimoku Falls. To add flavour, tour the plantations to devour the fresh taste of tropical fruits, and dine on Hawaiian cuisine one evening while watching a hula performance during a traditional luau. Many things make it the perfect holiday with your special someone.
2. Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Cape Cod and its islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket are celebrated for their unadulterated shores and New England seaside way of life.

The 15 towns and handful of fishing villages contribute to the region’s maritime character and air of romance, offering everything from glasswork studios and vineyards to gabled inns serving straight-from-the-ocean seafood.
The 64 km long shoreline spans six beaches, but the sand feels endless at Cape Cod National Seashore. Swim and beachcomb, or, for more action, cycle along the Shining Sea Bikeway or go surfing. Each town has its own character, making Cape Cod a patchwork of influences, from progressive Provincetown to an artistic community with a thriving nightlife, and so much more.
