The Algarve is now becoming a well-known destination, but it was not like that not long ago.
The truth is, that is hard to keep such a hidden gem a secret. If laying down in great unspoiled beaches is your holiday idea, this is a top destination.
Is better to explore The Algarve during the summer months since the options are greater. The beaches are stunning and not nearly as crowded as other places on high season, although that is changing quickly.
There are many little beautiful villages around to explore and the seafood here is not only amazing but cheaper than in most places. Water sports are one of the best things to do in The Algarve
Our personal recommendation is to visit and explore Lagos and Sagres, which are stunning.

11. Menorca, Spain
Is amazing how Menorca goes unnoticed because of Majorca. Yes, Majorca is also great, but way more touristic and expensive as well.
Instead, Menorca offers even better beaches in dreamy locations in the Balearic islands. If the budget allows it, renting a boat for a day with a skipper is such an amazing thing to do. Alternatively, there are much cheaper options like exploring beaches around by yourselves, jeep safaris or a bit of snorkeling and paddle board.
But if you do rent a boat for a day, you will live one of the most amazing experiences in your life!

Exploring the lost city of Petra is a dream for a lot of us. It is with no doubt, one of the most desired couples breaks.

A hike through Petra, visiting the Royal Thumbs, the Siq, the tombs, and many other impressive constructions are some of the most popular activities.

21. Tanzania, Africa
Tanzania is truly a unique holiday destination for couples.

And although is truly amazing and offers really unique experiences, it might be more expensive than the rest. The reason for this is mainly because of the Safaris.
