Unlike traditional trips, a romantic vacation is about coming back to each other through shared laughter, a little bit of adventure and enough quality time to actually talk.

Romance fades when you are constantly coordinating, that is why destinations with built-in experiences tend to be more romantic than a traditional hotel.

Many couples want a place that is peaceful and value driven. For instance, hotels with romantic rooms featuring personal whirlpool tubs can offer the perfect ambiance to make the vacation both will never forget.

There are a number of romantic places to visit in this former German region, but the one stands tall from the rest is the Texas Hill Country town of Fredericksburg, about a 1.5 hours drive from Austin.

While wine tasting breweries line up on the main strip, couples who are fond of history can spend time at the Pioneer Museum to gain an insight on the town’s colorful history as a gateway to the west.

Orena Fredericksburg offers an incredible blend of architecture featuring personal soaking baths and hot tubs.. Add in the glowing Hill Country sunset, and you have got the state’s most beloved couple escape.

If your idea of a romantic vacation involves breathtaking sunsets, dipping toes in the sand and adventure mixed with luxury, then South Padre Island should be high on your mini-vacation list.

Couples can unwind in the seaside cabanas of the Isla Grand Beach Resort, enjoy fresh seafood on the beach or opt for a horseback ride at sunset.

From watersports to relaxing with a cocktail on the seashore, this paradise on the Gulf Coast delivers romance with a pack of adrenaline pumping action. Visit in spring or early fall for lesser crowds and more privacy.

# 4. Sage Hill Inn, Kyle

Just west of Kyle, couples can find miles of hiking trails and a place to relax with private hot tubs. Located at the end of the Violet Crown Trail in a 2500 acre protected area, the region is rich in wildlife and offers stunning sunsets and bright starry skies.

The inn’s cottages and suites have deep soaking tubs, perfect for relaxation after a hectic day of sightseeing in the countryside.

Other activities include on-site spa for couples massage, nature walks and complimentary cookies and wine delivered to the room.

# 5. Cypress Valley Treehouses, Spicewood

Located just west of Austin, couples can nestle against ancient cypress trees, while you and your partner are wrapped in a blanket and listen to the owls or stargaze.

The treehouse suites feature a private outdoor soaking tub, set among romantic wooden decks amid pure nature.

Couples can zip line over the forest floor or simply sit in the hammock and enjoy a romantic dinner under the twinkling lights of the canopy.

When you want to spend special time with your loved one for a weekend in Texas, you are better off to make a booking a few weeks, or better still, months in advance.
