Who doesn’t love a romantic beach? It’s a bit hard to get truly romantic if you’re sauntering past a row of one hundred sun loungers, or you arrive at a beach that looks like a bird colony only it’s people and towels. If you really want to get away to somewhere secluded and romantic, it does take a bit of effort but it’s worth it in the end. Be imaginative and make the journey, you won’t regret it. The best beaches are awaiting your well-informed towel.
Menorca
Often overlooked because of her glamorous neighbour Ibiza, but if you want to experience secluded beaches this is definitely a destination to keep in mind. Rent a car on arrival in Menorca and based yourself centrally at the really stylish Casa Ladico. Drive to little white sand beach of Cala Macarelleta which is framed with pine trees and cliffs, it’s just gorgeous. For pure turquoise water head to Cala Turqueta where the snorkelling is wonderful and the white sandy beach a total dream.
Greece
Not somewhere everyone goes, so perfect for adding a little surprise the romantic summer trip. The all-suite hotel of Olea is designed for seclusion with your own pool. But if you can tear yourself away for a day from your incredible view and private pool for a beach adventure, then head to Shipwreck Beach which can only be reached by boat. Concierge can sort out the boat. Porto Vromi is little white pebbles and deep clear water, as well as a jump off point for boats, so perhaps combine both in one day. Mama Mia it’s magnificent.
Puglia
The is a little peace of romantic heaven on earth outside Lecce in the form of the gorgeous Masseria Trapana presided over with great hospitality and oodles of style by Australian Rob Potter Sanders. The team will pack you the most delectable picnic and then give you excellent directions to Santa Maria di Leuca so you can experience turquoise sea framed by cliffs. You’ll love the soaring romance of it all before returning the sanctuary of the Masseria to climb into a hammock or sit under a lemon tree with your glass of ice cold gavi.
Wales
If you don’t want to head to the airport but want to stay in the UK, then you can’t beat the seclusion of Pembrokeshire in Wales. While Cornwall and Devon are gorgeous, in peak season they don’t offer the seclusion you can experience in Wales. Make the Manor Townhouse in Fishguard your home, where you will be hosted in stylish perfection by Helen & Chris who can point you in the direction of more than one secluded bay or coastal path. Mwnt pronounced Munt, is just divine, and on a sunshine day is sheer perfection.
