Hawaii

One of the most romantic holidays in the world is Hawaii. If you're American, there's no passport required for this romantic hub, but you might feel as if you went to another country when you catch a glimpse of the truly remarkable beauty of Hawaii. While there are dozens of islands to navigate — from Oahu to Kauai — if you want to wear those head-over-heels rose-colored glasses, set your sights on Maui. In addition to some dreamy luxury resorts, the varied landscape of this Hawaiian island sets it apart from its neighbors. The beaches are so glorious, you won't want to leave.

Couples can drive along the picturesque Hana Highway and explore the Haleakala National Park, including the volcano it's named after. And since most amorous vacations require a beach day, there are 30 miles of sand to set up shop on. Make sure you save time to fall asleep under the dazzling stars and constellations that bring light to the midnight sky. With stunning white-sand beaches, lush valleys, and historic villages to explore, Maui really is a paradise island destination. You can choose to spend your days sun-worshipping together, or you can trek to Haleakala National Park and take in 360-degree views of the park’s volcanic crater.
