If you’re one of the many couples planning a winter vacation, there are several factors you’ll want to consider when choosing your destination. First, considering how busy the holidays are, you’ll likely want to go somewhere that’s easy to plan – a destination that has everything you need for fun and relaxation in one spot. Second – what type of vacation are you after? Perhaps you’re yearning for romance in the form tropical private beaches, or maybe you’re looking to be swept up in European culture and cuisine. Or, are you seeking out a snowy winter wonderland? Perhaps all you really want is a luxury hotel with awesome holiday vibes. If you’re dreaming up an epic getaway that has romance written all over it, here are 7 easy-to-plan romantic holiday destinations guaranteed to be ultra-memorable:

1. The Ko Olina Beach Villas – Oahu, Hawaii

Ideal for travelers who are in desperate need of peace, serenity, and gorgeous beaches, the Ko Olina Beach Villas is a stunning luxury property on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. It’s beautifully decorated during the holidays, and boasts its own private beach. One of the many benefits of staying at the Ko Olina Resort is that it’s located on the leeward coast of Oahu, which is notable for almost always having perfect, sunny weather any time of year, while also being only 45 minutes away from the trendy Waikiki strip. The busy streets of Waikiki are fun to drive to for a day of shopping, a Dolphin Quest expedition, a fancy dinner or a night out – but spending your days at the peaceful and gorgeous Ko Olina Beach Villas is ideal. There, you have your own private, beautiful lagoon and it’s sure to be an unforgettable and luxury experience. Being away from the craziness of Waikiki is one of the reasons the Ko Olina is such a special sanctuary on Oahu.

The great thing about the Ko Olina is that some of the suites are privately owned. This means that instead of paying pricey hotel rates, you can get great deals through the Hawaiian Ocean Club Realty Group, and rent ocean-view suites from private owners for a steal of a deal. The suites are huge and typically have 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 3 beds, so couples can split the cost of a luxury suite for as low as $100 per night per couple. The ocean-view balconies of these suites are four times the size of a standard hotel room’s balcony.
