Valentine’s Day might seem like the perfect time for a whirlwind weekend away, but for those yet to book, it’s not too late to look ahead instead and lock in a truly romantic retreat for later in the year.
Here are Webjet’s top three romantic picks for 2020:
While domestic destinations like Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane* continue to attract the crowds in 2020 so far, Webjet has seen longer haul, love-inducing locations become an increasingly popular choice, with more Aussies choosing to head away to places like Vanuatu (up 10%)**, Florence (up 13%)** and the Maldives.
Just a few hours’ flight from Australia on the “Isle of Smiles”, Vanuatu, you’ll be spoilt for things to do. From exhilarating adventures like ziplining, to first-class diving sites and the world-famous Champagne Beach, these isles promise an easy-to-reach patch of paradise to enjoy with that special someone. Another equally idyllic alternative for couples dreaming of white-sand shorelines, want-for-nothing resorts, and picture-perfect settings is nearby Fiji.
If you’re looking to take your island adventure to an ultra-luxe level, however, indulge in a trip to the magnificent Maldives with Webjet Exclusives. For $3,999pp, you can have it all including a 5-star Singapore stopover (with everything you could ever wish for, like personalised butler service!), five nights’ all-inclusive stay at the breathtaking The Residence Maldives at Falhumaafushi in a lavish one-bedroom overwater villa, and your choice of activities to enjoy, from snorkelling the house reef to restorative yoga classes.

Those wanting to find themselves swept away by Renaissance-era romance can set their sights on Florence and prepare to fall for the finer things that this city promises – it is also the perfect starting point for an Italian holiday of a lifetime. Now attracting more Aussies than before, the magical capital of Tuscany gives every couple a chance to create unforgettable memories, where days can be spent taking in the incredible culture and architecture of the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio and the Uffizi Gallery, before enjoying candlelit dinners and glasses of Tuscan red wine in cosy trattorias.
No matter where you choose to go however, now is also the perfect time to give your partner (and let’s face it, hopefully yourself!) the gift of travel with a Webjet Gift Card – valid for up to three years.
