People who are looking for an alternative romantic destination should consider Ireland as their next destination. Ireland is surrounded by lush and green landscape which makes the view perfect for intimate moments. Aside from that, castle ruins and luxurious castle accommodations compliment the perfect romantic atmosphere that couples crave for during their romantic getaway.

Ireland also boasts of a romantic history which couples could explore like the myths and legends of the Giants Causeway. Aside from that, couples could also opt to visit St. Valentine located at the Whitefriar Church in Dublin. The best part about going to Ireland is the fact that it seems "secluded" which is perfect for couples who want to relax or for couples going on their honeymoon trip.

Ireland was recently named one of the world's best luxury travel destinations for 2012 by Luxury Travel Magazine, and it's pretty obvious why - the ultimate in luxury accommodations from castles to 5* properties, world-class golf courses and breathtaking scenery.

For the couple looking to hide away, Ireland has much to offer: from remote locations and spectacular natural wonders to spa-retreats and thatched cottages. Quaint towns such as Westport and Kinsale offer great hide-a-ways while being a perfect base to explore the romantic side of Ireland. The adventurous couple will find a plethora of water sports, equestrian activities, mountains to climb and remote vistas to dig into. We recommend Northern Ireland for those looking for unspoilt rugged beauty, water sports and more! Or the newly-wedded couple may wish to jump into the center of it all in Ireland's vibrant cities. Experience trendy Galway, the urban buzz of Belfast or cosmopolitan Dublin, a UNESCO world heritage city of literature, with so much going on in Ireland this year, newly-wedded couples will find themselves a part of the excitement.
