Feels sooo good. Like really, really good.
Especially when life gets crazy and you need to seriously enjoy time with your significant other.
So we did a lot of research and created a wish list of the 8 luxury hotels we want to escape to.
Where we imagine ourselves sleeping in until noon, talking about the future, sipping on cocktails and wine, laying by the pool, being slobs (and also getting all dolled up), and doing absolutely nothing with the person we love.
And now we’re dying to stay at these places.
In no particular order, these 8 splurge-worthy hotels are on our couples’ dream travel list.
*BOOK THROUGH CREWFARE to get different payment options and to plan couples or group travel.
