If you are an unconditional romantic but you got tired of Valentine chocolates and stuffed animals, it is high time you went the extra mile and planned the Valentine experience of your life. What a better way to celebrate this special day with your partner than a romantic trip for two to one of the finest and hottest destinations in the month of February!  

Beachionary has chosen for you 5 exotic destinations for a dreamlike Valentine’s Day. Don’t pack your bags with unnecessary clothing. The only thing you will need is your bathing suit!   

1.         Sipadan Island, Sabah | Malaysia     

The island, in the Celebes Sea just off the east coast of Borneo, is formed by living corals that grew on top of a defunct volcanic cone. Sipadan is considered among the top dive destinations in the world. Divers adore these waters for the spectacular marine life that lives here. With more than 3,000 species of fish and hundreds of coral species, Sipadan is an underwater treasure worth exploring!    

2.        Noordhoek Beach, Western Cape | South Africa  

Noordhoek Beach is one of Cape Town’s finest beaches. Wide open beach that stretches over 8 km from Chapman’s peak to the Kommetjie lighthouse. There are two good surf spots here, a right peaking break called the Hoek and, Dunes beach break. The enormous size of this beach and the soft white sand makes horse riding a unique experience!

 3.        Mabul Island, Sabah | Malaysia  

Mabul is a small island in the Celebes Sea less than an hour from Borneo and in close vicinity to Sipadan Island. Mabul’s shallow waters and muddy seabed are a perfect location for muck diving! Bear in mind that you will need a macro camera lens to capture the tiny exotic creatures that live in the muck.

 4.        Wailea Beach, Hawaii | United States  

On the South of Maui, Wailea Beach is a spectacular golden beach and the beachfront of Grand Wailea Resort and the Four Seasons. Get to your hotel, put on your bathing suits and go straight to Wailea Beach for a good swim. You can also choose from snorkeling, bodysurfing and paddle boarding. Whatever your plans, do not miss the astonishingly beautiful sunset!

 5.       Dover Beach, Christ Church | Barbados 

Dover Beach is near the popular St. Lawrence Gap on the south coast of Barbados. The vast sandy terrain of the beach is absolutely gorgeous for lazy walks and you can buy beverages and snacks from the stalls nearby. Dover is safe from strong undercurrents and you can take advantage of the calm waters to try boogie boarding, jet skiing or even windsurfing! 

  

Whatever your destination Beachionary wishes you an unforgettable Valentine’s Day!
