Snowy Playgrounds and Sunny Escapes: 6 Winter Destinations for Couples
Play in the Snow in Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Jackson Hole is an authentic western town that will leave you feeling as if you’ve stepped back into the Old West. In the wintertime, Jackson turns into a veritable snowy playground. It’s home to one of the best ski resorts in the world so you can spend all day riding the chairlift and carving downhill with your snow bunny.
The piles of snow also means you can enjoy snowmobile rides and sleigh rides through Yellowstone National Park and the National Elk Refuge.
You’ll definitely appreciate a dip in the hot springs afterward. You can even arrive by dogsled to Granite Hot Springs to add to the nostalgic experience. Some of the area’s lodges offer couples’ massages which are the perfect way to unwind with your partner after a long day playing in the snow.
Be Awed by the Northern Lights in Finland
For the best snow vacation for couples, pack plenty of warm clothing and head to Finland where you can stay in an igloo under the Northern Lights. The igloos are made from thermal glass designed to keep you warm and prevent the view from frosting over. There are also opportunities to stay in traditional snow igloos and cabins if the thermal igloos aren’t your cup of tea.
We are fond of the totally ‘grammable Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort which is perfectly situated in one of the best places to see the Northern Lights. For an extra touch of winter charm and romance, schedule an arrival by reindeer-drawn sleigh.
Just keep in mind that the Aurora season runs from the end of August through April, but truth be told we are up for sleeping in a Finnish igloo anytime of year!
Zanzibar tourism is filled with relaxing beach days, lively kitesurfing experiences, dreamy boat cruises and so much more.
Have the Ultimate Ski Vacation in Japan
Japan is a hot spot for ski enthusiasts and is an especially alluring winter vacation idea for couples. Plan to stay in Hokkaido, the northern island. Along with plenty of opportunities for both downhill and cross-country skiing, the area is known for having an abundance of natural hot springs.
This combination makes for the perfect winter trip for couples who love to both play and relax together.
