- Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to plan a great trip with your partner and discover destinations that combine history, culture and unique landscapes.
- GrandVoyage, specialists in tailor-made trips, highlight that romantic trips to faraway destinations continue to increase, driven by the search for authentic, memorable and shared experiences.
Travelling as a couple has become a way of celebrating love through experiences that go beyond the destination, focusing on discovery, excitement and quality time together. In this spirit, GrandVoyage offers a selection of 10 ideal destinations for celebrating Valentine’s Day while travelling.
Egypt: Visiting the pyramids of Giza or the Temple of Karnak is an experience that combines history and adventure. Sailing down the Nile River allows you to discover the country from a different perspective, while cities such as Cairo and Luxor combine traditional markets, ancient architecture and museums that tell thousands of years of history. Deserts and oases complete a journey that invites exploration.
Japan: A country that perfectly balances modernity and tradition. Cities such as Tokyo, Osaka and Kobe are hubs of urban energy, gastronomy and contemporary art, while Kyoto, Nara and Himeji boast centuries-old temples, castles and bamboo forests. At the foot of Mount Fuji, Kawaguchiko and Hakone offer hiking and hot springs, and the Japanese Alps preserve the rural essence and mountain landscapes.
Peru: Machu Picchu and the ancient Inca trails allow you to delve into a country steeped in history and nature. Cuzco and the Sacred Valley combine craft markets, archaeological ruins and spectacular views, while Lima provides an urban counterpoint with one of the most renowned cuisines in the world, ideal for rounding off a trip as a couple.
Jordan: Petra, the city carved into the rock, and the endless landscapes of the Wadi Rum desert create a unique combination of history and adventure. Trekking routes, archaeological sites and nights under a starry sky make Jordan a perfect destination for couples looking for an active and different kind of trip.
China: The Great Wall and ancient temples contrast with metropolises such as Beijing and Shanghai. Traditional markets, historic architecture and natural landscapes make China a destination full of contrasts, also ideal for enjoying a cruise on rivers such as the Li Jiang or the Yangtze and contemplating their impressive scenery.
South Korea: Seoul dazzles with palaces such as Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung, temples such as Jogyesa and vibrant neighbourhoods where tradition and modernity intertwine. Busan, with its seaside temple, cliffs and colourful villages, completes a trip in which Korean cuisine, designed for sharing, makes every meal a special moment.
India: The Taj Mahal, a universal symbol of love, is just one of the many reasons to travel to India as a couple. Temples, markets and festivals shape an intense and exciting trip. Cities such as Jaipur, Varanasi and Udaipur combine architecture, spirituality and cultural experiences that are even more profound when shared with someone else.
Vietnam: history, exotic flavours and fascinating natural landscapes. The lanterns and bicycles of Hoi An coexist with the bustling Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and the imperial past of Hue. The trip changes pace to sail the emerald waters of Halong Bay or explore the lush rice fields of Sa Pa.
Argentina: Iguazu Falls and Patagonia showcase the country’s enormous natural diversity. Buenos Aires offers culture, tango and gastronomy, while the south offers trekking routes, wildlife viewing and breathtaking landscapes, perfect for those seeking nature and adventure as a couple.
Maldives: A paradise of white sands and crystal-clear waters. Overwater bungalows, quiet beaches and snorkelling in turquoise lagoons create the ideal setting for a romantic getaway marked by calm and disconnection.
Each of these destinations combines history, nature and culture, offering experiences that are best enjoyed in company. This Valentine’s Day, travelling becomes the best excuse to celebrate love and create memories that will last forever.
About GrandVoyage
GrandVoyage was founded in 2012 as the first Spanish digital-native agency specialising in long-distance travel. At a time when many agencies were still operating with traditional models, the company decided to digitise complex processes and offer tailor-made medium and long-distance routes, combining its own technology with deeply human expert criteria.
Since then, its trajectory has been marked by sustained growth: expansion of destinations in Asia, Africa and America; consolidation of a specialised team; and construction of a product that now includes more than 70 destinations and 400 customisable itineraries. The pandemic posed an unprecedented challenge, but it was also a turning point that allowed the company to reinforce its structure, optimise processes and strengthen a more solid and scalable operating model.
This evolution has been accompanied by recent milestones such as the opening of an office in Bogotá to boost its presence in Latin America, the obtaining of sustainability certifications and the entry of a financial partner specialising in scaleups. All this has gone hand in hand with the construction of a more sophisticated brand identity, without losing the accessible and approachable spirit that has always characterised GrandVoyage. Today, with its own technology, international vision and the human factor at the heart of its business, the company is positioned as one of the most solid Spanish companies in long-distance tourism. In an increasingly competitive market, GrandVoyage is moving forward with determination, ambition and a proposal that combines innovation, discernment and approachability to continue growing and scaling up in capital markets such as BME Scaleup.
