There’s no better way to invest in your relationship than by traveling together. From honeymoons to anniversaries, consider these top destinations for romance this year:

Find a Beach: Seychelles offers luxury resorts and beaches that will take your breath away. Arrive in early May for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup on Mahé! Closer to home, Hawaii offers something special for every couple.

Go North: Treat yourselves to a five-star lodge in Banff National Park, Alberta. Hike, bike, or ski, then relax in the Banff hot springs. For something truly unique, head to Churchill, Manitoba to spot polar bears or go beluga boarding in Hudson’s Bay.

But here's what really makes us smile: you can help seed coral reefs, care for rescued sea turtles, or spend your afternoon with wild dolphins.
