Five ways to bring the romance to a caravan getaway this June

Is there a getaway with a loved one on the horizon? From the sandy expanses of Cornwall or Devon to the wild landscapes of places like the New Forest, the aim is to enhance the romance during the staycation. So, if a June breaks UK destination is on the books, or perhaps something a tad later in the year, here’s a guide to injecting romance into the journey.

How might the romance be introduced?

When on holiday with a partner, it’s crucial to seek out not only enjoyable and adventurous activities in the chosen location but also to inject spontaneity and romance into the excursion. This can be achieved in quite straightforward yet significant ways, such as:

Picnics

Envision the scene – atop a sandy dune, gazing at the ocean, or atop a hill/mountain with nothing but a breathtaking view of the world below. The sun starts to set (or rise for a different start to the day). The couple are seated on a comfortable blanket, with another wrapped around them (if there’s a slight chill in the air). A picnic basket full of favourites, like chocolate-covered strawberries, croissants and pain au chocolat, accompanied by a favourite beverage. There, both partners sit, savouring the food, views, and companionship. This could evolve into a cherished memory from the staycation, enduring a lifetime.

Stargazing

Is there a perfect stargazing spot at or near the staycation location? An evening under the stars is an ideal way to inject some romance into any trip. Top tip – the Isle of Wight boasts several spots that are excellent for stargazing.

Hot tub

What about incorporating a hot tub into the accommodation package? This way, there’s no need to leave the holiday home to sit in a romantic setting, watching the sunset and the stars emerge overhead. Heighten the romance with mood lighting (some hot tubs offer lighting settings), a bottle of a favourite drink, and light snacks such as chocolate-covered strawberries or grapes, or some chocolates. To guide the way to the hot tub, why not lay out some biodegradable petals from the back door to the tub?

Romantic walks

Consider exploring the surrounding nature with a romantic walk, hand in hand, along the beach or through the woodland areas? Use this shared time as an opportunity to converse deeply, learning something new about the partner or simply understanding how they’ve been recently.

Romantic meal for two

Bring the romance to the dining table, be it at breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Explore a local restaurant that offers the ideal romantic meal setting, or create a romantic atmosphere within the holiday home with petals, candles, and a favourite love songs playlist.

Indulge in favourite foods, share stories, and relish the shared time. However the decision is made to infuse the romance into the getaway, the hope is that many moments are created that become enduring memories to be cherished forever.
