Life can steal romance out of your life. It’s tough to find time to say those “I love yous” that once flowed so easily from your tongue. Special moments can easily get lost in the daily life of work, dinners, meetings, school, repeat…

You need a holiday to rekindle what you once had. Romance thrives on the new and novel. A holiday to the coasts of Spain will do wonders to reignite that passion that you once had for each other. A night in Cadaqués, a seaside walk along the streets of Lloret Del Mar or a candlelit dinner in a small Barcelona café will bring the two of you back to when you first met.

Isn’t it time you rediscovered falling in love?

Travel to Remote Locations

“Remember that time we had the entire cove to ourselves?”

You’ll reminisce about the times when you got to be truly alone. It will instantly bring back all those feelings of love and passion that you shared with each other.

Just for the two of you, there are plenty of places that you can travel to when you want to be alone. Remote locations are for times when you want to spend quality time together, sharing an experience that becomes that much more special when it’s secluded and private.

Surprisingly, although there are tens of thousands of tourists that flow through this area every year, you can still find secluded, hidden places that you can share with your lover. Llafranc and Cadaqués don’t have the popularity of other beach towns, so it’s easy to find yourself alone on a street at night or sharing a table at a quiet café where no one will bother you. Tamariu has a quaint fishing-village atmosphere, and it’s intimate enough that you never feel as though you’re sharing this place with anybody else.

Escape the crowds with some seclusion and privacy. A few days will be all that you need to remember that all you need is each other anyway.

Share Beautiful Places

The Costa Brava has more places that are stunning than seems fair. Its overwhelmingly spectacular scenery will take your breath away. Sharing beauty with someone else is what drives us. Think about it. When you watch an amazing movie, see an incredible photograph or admire a jaw-dropping sunrise, what’s the first thing you think?

“I need to share this with someone”.

We long to share beauty with each other, to have moments that we can both enjoy together. That’s why the Costa Brava is meant for lovers.

Watch the sun rise over the sea at Lloret del Mar. It’s an experience that is worth getting up for. As you stroll along some of the world’s best beaches, you get to marvel at the colours and quiet serenity of a sunrise just peeking over the horizon. And, with over 300 sunny days in Spain, you won’t have to do it just once.

Gola de Ter is where the river Ter empties into the sea. It’s a stunning place that allows you to walk in the fresh water of the river and the saltwater of the sea. You can see the Medes Islands off the coast, giving you a stunning spectacle to share with your loved one.

There are places that have to be seen to be believed. The rock formations at Cala dels Frares will astound you and delight your senses. Be sure to take plenty of pictures so that you can both remember the experience after you’ve left.

Create Shared Memories

Studies show that sharing experiences brings people closer together. Try to include at least one experience that is new, fun and a little outside your normal routine.

Try dancing lessons in Barcelona. You’ll get to mingle with locals and have fun trying out something you may never have done. Try a new tapas bar that expands your senses to include tastes and flavours that might be foreign at first, but that you’ll grow to love. Find a winery or vineyard where you can try a new wine, sampling some of the incredible whites and reds that make Spain’s wine exports highly coveted. Drinking them straight from the vineyard is an experience that neither of you will forget soon. Unless you drink too much…

Create a New Routine

You have a chance to try a new routine. Your old routines got you into the mess of forgetting romance. Love is all about doing unexpected things and inviting a little mystery and novelty into your lives.

If you normally eat dinner at 6 PM, try setting a dinner date for 9 PM. It’s a unique opportunity to eat and drink late into the night, sharing a private table with your loved one. If you normally get up early because work beckons you every day, set a morning routine that ensures that you stay in bed until 10. Have a late breakfast, take a stroll on the beach, make a lazy morning your new normal while you’re on holiday.

The new routine will capture your imagination and cause you to look at each other differently than simply falling into old patterns. Who knows? Maybe you’ll be able to take some of these new outlines home with you to keep that rekindled passion alive well after the holiday is finished.

Stay in Private Accommodation

Imagine this:

You’re in your hotel room. You’ve set the mood with some wine. You’ve got soft music playing, and the lights are dimmed.

All of a sudden, you hear loud noises in the hallway as that noisy family comes tramping down, trying to find their room. Or you hear your neighbour’s TV through the walls of the hotel. Or maybe there’s a knock at the door from room service, effectively killing any chance of romance tonight.

Why not skip all that hassle and book a private villa just for the two of you? It’s much more affordable than you think. It can even cost less for an entire private villa than a small room in a hotel in town.

You get the luxury of privacy, your own pool, a kitchen to whip up some romantic treats, and nobody to bother you as you spend quality time together. Privacy and alone time are the central ideas of rekindling a romance. So why waste your time sharing a hotel with hundreds of other guests? Search for the perfect villa today.

Disconnect from Technology

Phones, laptops and tablets can steal your attention. It becomes too easy to fall into the trap of “just checking a couple of emails” when you’re on holiday. It’s detrimental to your relationship if your lover feels they are second best in a contest with your phone.

Do away with distraction, and unplug. There are plenty of times to check emails when you’re at home, but this time is all about each other. Make your loved one feel they are truly the most important thing in your life by unplugging from technology altogether. Make it a game to go an entire day or week without checking your phone once. Have a friendly competition with each other.

Although you might feel a little anxiety or a pang of guilt that you’re not instantly available, you’ll let that feeling go as you spend more quality time with each other and less time swiping through pictures of others online.

Look Your Best

Pack a cocktail dress. Take some fancy lingerie. Bring your best suit. Just because you’re on holiday doesn’t mean that you can’t dress up. Look fancy for your loved one, and you’ll let them know that they’re worth it, even when you’re taking a long-needed break from normal life.

Take a dinner or just one night where you plan a fancy night with each other, taking the time to look your very best. It could even be fun to play “dress-up” if that’s not your normal experience. You’ll feel great, and your partner will notice the effort you’ve made to look good just for them. They might have seen you in your ripped pyjamas and your ratty housecoat. But tonight, let them see you in your most carefully planned attire.

Bring back that fiery passion

Every romance needs a boost. That’s why we highly recommend taking a break on the beautiful Costa Brava to bring back those feelings that you tend to forget over time. Love needs to be rekindled. Passion needs a spark. And Spain’s coast is the perfect place to light that fire once again.
