#1 Kupu Kupu Barong & Kupu Kupu Jimbaran, Bali, Indonesia Can't choose between a rendezvous in the mountains or romance near the sea? Choose both! Kupu Kupu Barong is a heavenly mountaintop hideaway that will breathe new life into your body and your relationship. The two of you will savor your villa’s open-air terrace, lounging pavilion, and plunge pool. You’ll take pleasure in the staff’s thoughtful touches, like scattering fragrant flower petals along pathways. And should you request it, your handy-but-not-intrusive butler will serve a private sunset dinner of French-influenced, Southeast Asian cuisine on your terrace for a romantic indulgence you won't soon forget. Sister resort Kupu Kupu Jimbaran has a rather amorous setting on the Indian Ocean—here, romance is distilled to its very essence with an endless horizon emanating from powder-white beaches, sun-kissed aquamarine waters, and the sensual fragrances of night-blooming flowers. Your only distractions from each other are to decide whether to have your massage in your thatched-roof cottage or in a candlelit couple's treatment room, or whether to venture out for dinner directly on the beach or stay put in your oh-so-satisfying Balinese bed.

#2 Laluna, Grenada Seduce all your senses at this refined-yet-relaxed sanctuary with a sublime location on a sparkling beach and within wafting distance of the aromatic spice markets. The two of you will swoon over the Laluna's easy-going Caribbean lilt, its restaurant's tempting Italian-influenced offerings and wine list, and your simple yet upscale guest cottage, complete with four-poster bed, perfect-for-skinny-dipping plunge pool, and partly open bathroom that will make you feel as if you're bathing au natural, but with complete privacy.

#3 Blue Palace Resort, Greece Indulge in hedonistic pleasures and savor the very good life accentuated with healthy doses of royal treatment at this breathtaking hideout on Crete's rocky northern coast. While at Blue Palace Resort, the two of you will foster a little romance as you share a sensual steam bath, relax in your own (swimsuit-optional) infinity pool, and savor an open-air gourmet meal by candlelight while overlooking sparkling Mirabello Bay and the Mediterranean just beyond . . . we’ll let you decide how best to use your bed's satin sheets.
