Romantic spots for Valentine’s Day

13 Feb 2015  2038 | World Travel News

SINGAPORE  Wego, a travel search site in the Asia Pacific and Middle East, says it doing Cupid a favour by revealing some of the best destinations for romantics to celebrate Valentine’s Day if you have the cash to splurge.
“Destination weddings are extremely popular in some countries, especially with travellers from India, the UAE, Australia and Southeast Asia,” said Wego chief marketing officer, Joachim Holte.
But Wego also recommends spots to pop the question claiming the destination where a marriage proposal was made remains a special place when couples travel down memory lane, years later.
“Celebrate Valentine’s Day by whisking your partner away on a romantic retreat. It can help retain the surprise factor and keep suspicions under wraps,” Holte added.

If it hadn’t already crossed your mind airport arrival gates are becoming popular spots to propose.
Wego advises you to “plan ahead, approach the airport authority who can advise you on what you can and can’t do.”
If you are short of ideas Holte suggests a wedding planning service. They may come up with a dance crowd you can rent for the occasion.
Wego’s spots to propose on Valentine’s Day
Take a small plane or helicopter over the Whitsunday Islands in Australia’s Barrier Reef and take out the ring as you pass over mother nature’s, naturally formed nod to romance, Heart Island.
Forget Las Vegas, head to Asia’s gaming and entertainment capital, Macau, just an hour from Hong Kong by ferry. Take a Skywalk around the outside of the Macau Tower. Have the team from AJ Hackett, who run the walk and bungee jump, to hold up a big ‘Marry Me’ sign from inside as you take in the views from 233 metres above the city. Book a suite at one of the five star integrated resorts such as The Venetian or Galaxy Macau and sip champagne delivered by your personal butler.
If you love the water go to Kuala Lumpur’s Aquaria at the KLCC. This impressive aquarium offers several proposal packages. Have a diver hold a ‘Marry Me’ sign from inside the tank among the fish or dive in and do it yourself, while you both distract the sharks.
For something a little more exotic head to Sarawak and the Cove 55 luxury villa. Propose under a star-studded sky and enjoy the lush rainforest and South China Sea setting, which is a truly extravagant and unique location to ask that special question.
inside no 5.1When you think India and love, only one place comes to mind. Built in the name of love, the splendour of the Taj Mahal in Agra epitomises romance. But for something a little more dramatic, check into one of the historic palaces, now converted to luxury hotels. Try the Oberoi Rajvilias in Jaipur or the Taj Lake Palace for a truly elegant and unforgettable proposal filled with atmosphere.
Channel the romance of the Arabian Nights and venture on a desert camel safari from Dubai. Pop the question by the glimmer of a soft antique lamp.
Take a first class flight, anywhere. It doesn’t have to be to the other side of the world. The whole experience of flying in luxury is a treat in itself, even on a two hour flight. While you’re at 35,000 feet enjoying first class service and culinary excellence, tee up the cabin crew to pop the ring in a glass of champagne and you’ll be flying high!
If you hadn’t noticed all the options would leave you broke, so buy the ring before you splurge on these grand setting.
