WAKE LIKE AN EGYPTIAN
How better to put the stresses of modern life and the winter blues far behind you than to relax with a special someone on the sun-drenched shores of the Red Sea? At Sinai Stars you’ve not only got the opportunity to leave your worries behind, you’re positively forced to. Just a few miles from Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt, Sinai Stars isn’t a luxury resort with 24-hour Wi-fiand all the mod cons, but that’s the whole point. Lying on an idyllic stretch of white sand with warm water lapping gently at your feet and nothing behind you but desert and mountains, you’ll never want to return to reality. The traditional Bedouin beach shacks are basic but comfortable – the perfect place to hole up with no distractions and enjoy a serious amount of quality time with the one you love. www.sinaistars.de
LOVE IN A COLD CLIMATE
Don’t be put off by the name “Igloo Village” – no one treks 5,000ft up a mountain for the social life. While there are a range of group activities, such as night walks across the Alpine snow, as well as a restaurant and sauna in case you just can’t take the cold any more, you can choose not to leave the solitude of your icy abode. If the journey through the rugged, snow-covered Swiss Alps and the spectacular views don’t get you in the mood for romance, then wait until you reach your mountain hideaway. Iglu-Dorf’s Romantic Igloo Suite in Gstaad, Switzerland, isn’t just a shelter from the elements, it’s a luxurious den of seduction with its own heated whirlpool – plenty warm enough for one, but even better when enveloped in the arms of a lover. www.iglu-dorf.com
TREE-HUGGING
Where could be more romantic than the rolling hills and lavender fields of Provence? And if you’re looking for something more private than its celebrated rustic villas and honey-coloured farmhouses for your romantic break, this lovely region of southern France is also home to a hotel that offers a room with that je ne sais quoi factor. Hidden away in the foliage at Hôtel Les Ateliers de l’Image, outside the historic town of St Rémy, is a secluded tree house where you can shut yourself off from the modern world to be at one with nature – and each other. It’s equipped with every contemporary luxury, as well as panoramic views to warm the fire in any heart. www.hotelinprovence.com
