February is often associated with Valentine's day (cue rolling of eyes or whoops of joy), but we believe that romance can be celebrated all year round. Here are our top romantic holiday destinations to set the mood.
Most romantic hotel
We cannot emphasise just how romantic Capri is. Explore by boat or by foot, swim in blue grottos and enjoy incredibly good Italian food. The JK Capri is one of the most stylish hotels in Europe, situated on a cliff-top overlooking the Marina Grande (main harbour) of Capri, with views across the Bay of Naples to Mount Vesuvius.
Most romantic view
Wake up at dawn and take a hot air balloon ride over the temples of Bagan in Myanmar, there are few things more memorable than a bird's-eye view of the 2,142 temples and pagodas as the balloons glide over glittering stupas.
Most romantic table
Enjoy dinner overlooking Zighy Bay on the Musandam Peninsula in Oman. With the rugged Hajar mountains in the background and a stretch of sandy beach in front, it is a magical place to watch the sun go down.
Most romantic thing to do
Curl up in bed under a glass-roof igloo to watch the Northern lights in Finland.
Most romantic bed
This private camp at the Wolwedans lodge in Namibia allows a spectacular view of the desert scenery. Lie out and watch the stars and wake up to fresh air and a warm sun rise.
Most romantic overall destination
The Maldives is without question the ultimate destination for romance. Each of the many islands offers privacy and relaxation surrounded by powdery white sand beaches and atolls of crystal clear waters. Contact Original Travel
Practical advice and inspiration for your next trip
A multifaceted metropolis, Tokyo caters to everyone – and every season. While it's become synonymous with cherry blossoms in recent (Instagrammable) years, it has far more to offer than merely a springtime sojourn. Painted in shades of red throughout autumn, blanketed in snow in winter, and heavy with heat and humidity in summer; this urban titan yields to the full influence of every season. Whether you want to part from the herd to witness snowy wonderlands or brave the crowds to capture the fleeting floral blooms, you can experience it all right here.

There’s something undeniably magic about standing in the very place where your favourite story unfolded. While film buffs chase Hollywood backdrops, we’re championing a new kind of traveller: the fictioneer – book lovers looking to swap their reading chair for the real-life setting. Picture yourself sailing down the Nile, channelling Hercule Poirot as intrigue lingers around every bend, wandering Transylvanian streets in search of Count Dracula (garlic optional), or retracing the journey of The Odyssey in Greece.
