Chances are you have been working long hours or perhaps raising a family and desperately need some time away, alone. For couples to reconnect, they need to have quality time together, which is why vacations are so important. If you find you are on a budget or simply do not have the time to fly overseas, you will discover a number of excellent vacation options specifically for couples.

In this article, we wanted to provide you with some of these couple’s destinations to consider, places where you can relax, but also enjoy the local culture, needless to say these are not ideal locations forhoneymoon travel, but for those traveling with friends they should be great. Within the United States are literally thousands of possible destinations with rich history, excellent shopping, local cuisine, warm sunny beaches, and hospitable people. The next time you and your spouse decide to take a vacation, consider any of the following destinations within your own country.

Hawaii

Hawaii is rated as the number one destination for couples. Although many couples will stay on Oahu, Honolulu, or Maui, keep in mind that Hawaii has other islands worth exploring. However, if you stay on the Big Island of Oahu, the Fairmont Orchid is a great place to stay.

This hotel offers waterfall gardens, ocean view suites and much more. If you choose the couple’s package, you will be pampered with champagne and chocolate-dipped strawberries. Then, you can retreat to the privacy of your room, enjoying a romantic bath of bubbles, salts, and lit, floating candles.

Nashville

Home of the Grand Ole Opry, Nashville is a great couples destination. In addition to visiting the Opry, you can also enjoy riverboat dinners, dancing, and exceptional dining. Most couples who venture to Nashville agree that the capital of country music makes an excellent romantic getaway.

For accommodations, we highly recommend the Hermitage Hotel, which has a long, interesting history. This hotel was named after Andrew Jackson’s home and first opened back in 1908. Many famous people have enjoyed staying at this hotel to include Al Capone and even President FDR. The décor of the Hermitage Hotel is grand, offering a magnificent vaulted stained glass ceiling in the lobby, massage suites, and even 24-hour room service.

Another possible consideration for your vacation in Nashville is the Wyndham Union Station hotel, which was built in 1900. Previously a train station that was converted to a hotel, you will be thrilled with the accommodations. For instance, the lobby features a 65-foot vaulted ceiling with Tiffany stained glass. Other amenities include a central location to many of the downtown attractions, as well as no two rooms being identical.

Las Vegas

Another great couple destination worth noting is Las Vegas. As you can imagine, the opportunities for fun are endless. You could head to any of the casinos, take in a show, or simply enjoy some R&R at the hotel pool. The Venetian Hotel and Casino is a wonderful option that is not only affordable, but also gorgeous and very romantic. Designed to look and feel like Italian architecture complete with gondola rides, the entire experience is steeped in European style. You will find that the Venetian is quiet, making it the perfect destination.
