Is your anniversary coming up? Want to celebrate a milestone in your relationship? Do you want to spring a romantic surprise on your loved one just because?
If you’re racking your brains on how to best spend a romantic moment together with your significant other, read on and be inspired by these ideas. From a scenic private seaplane tour to simply cozying up at home, there are creative tweaks that you can do to make every moment as romantic as it gets.
Treasured moments
Whether you want to go big or are just looking to amp up the volume on regular days, you can definitely add some sugar and spice to your time spent together. If you’re tired of the usual movie night or in need of something extra for quiet evenings at home, then be assured that there are other ways to dial up the romance factor.
Loving someone also means making an effort to show how much you care. It doesn’t have to be ostentatious all the time, but your partner will surely appreciate a surprise or two from time to time. The time, energy, and resources that you put into each activity will also be something your other half will surely be pleased about. A romantic dinner on a private island, for example, is a welcome alternative to the usual meals you have.
You don’t even have to have a specific reason for celebrating your relationship. While it will be ideal to remember special occasions such as wedding anniversaries, birthdays, or Valentine’s Day, preparing something romantic just because you feel like it is something that will ring the bells of romance.
If you’re looking for inspired ways to bring that nice butterfly-in-the-stomach feeling, here are some creative ways to celebrate romance:
1. Take an exclusive seaplane tour
Soar on the wings of love with a private seaplane tour. Book an excursion with just the two of you aboard a plush seaplane and enjoy expansive views of the ocean and city from miles above. The heady combination of being on the water one minute and up in the air the next will surely raise the romantic element in your relationship.
Since it is an exclusive seaplane tour, you can arrange for a tailor-made route. Whether you want to fly over sites that hold a special significance in your lives or take you to new and exciting sights, you have complete control over where you can go.
You can even take it to another level by choosing add-ons that will make your tour much more memorable. For example, you can do a stopover tour at a major landmark or book an additional wildlife drive with an expert guide.
2. Arrange a private cabana dinner
When you’re ready to experience a change from the usual drab dinners, fast food feasts, or home deliveries, why not book a romantic dinner by the beach?
Take your special someone to a private island or a premier beach resort and sate your appetites while gazing at the sunset. Plan a private dinner for two in your own cabana as the sun descends. Enjoy intimate conversations while you tantalize your taste buds with a gustatory treat that you will never forget.
As you celebrate your love under a starlit sky, you can either cozy up in your private cocoon or take a stroll along the seashore.
3. Have a couple’s spa day
Have you or loved one been feeling harried lately? Why not book a private couple’s spa day?
Massage away your worries, aches, and pains as professional spa therapists pamper you from head to toe. Take this time to simply indulge your senses and soak in the peace and quiet that a tranquil spa provides.
Organizing this special time together at the spa will not only mean rest and relaxation for both of you. It will also show your partner that you are observant and attuned to his or her needs. Your thoughtfulness and care will surely go a long way.
4. Try something new
Movies. Check. Theme parks. Done. Concerts. Over with.
When you’re tired and bored with the usual activities that you do, then it is time to expand your horizons a little (or a lot). Try out something new. Who knows, you might discover something that you both love?
There’s an authentic Filipino restaurant that just opened. Why not book a table there? A bowling lane in your neighborhood has always intrigued you. Why not make a date out of it on a weekend? Your friends have been raving about this new book shop and café. How about you try it out for yourselves, too?
Whether it’s a new food haunt, a novel sport, or a new hobby, finding new things to do together can help inject verve into your relationship. It will also allow you to discover new things about your partner that may help forge a stronger bond between the two of you.
5. Cook for your special someone
Sometimes, even the most seemingly mundane things can make the biggest impact. If your other half knows that you are not the homebody type or that you really have no interest in the kitchen, you can surprise him or her by whipping up a signature dish.
Prepare ahead of time so you can be confident in your cooking skills. You can even take culinary arts classes in your free time if you want. The point is that you want to impress your loved one by taking the time to cook for him or her. Bonus points if your cooking turns out to be absolutely yummy, of course.
It’s the thought that counts
There’s no hard and fast rule on how you should celebrate your love. Romance can be relative, and it differs from one relationship to another.
Whether you scale mountains together or dive into the deepest seas, it’s your thought, time, and effort that are important. Making the move to keep the love burning is something that will truly be appreciated and treasured by your loved one for years to come.
