The Most Romantic Places on Earth

Table Mountain at nightOf course, Valentine's Day is largely about romance. In my opinion, the most romantic place I've ever been was on top of Table Mountain. After riding the aerial cableway car to the top, my wife and I found a secluded spot, whipped out a bottle of South African wine, and watched the sun set. It was beautiful. However, many people might not think of a mountaintop as particularly romantic. To that end, here are some other places that might be more "classically" romantic:

  1. The Samode Palace in amber-soaked Rajasthan, India.
  2. Chaa Creek's Treetop Suites high above Belize.
  3. Mfuwe Lodge's chalets, overlooking animal-packed South Luangwa Park.
  4. Bavaria's Schloss Neuschwanstein, nestled among so many mountains.
  5. Chile's Hacienda Los Lingues is for the horse lovers.
  6. California's Muir Woods, which conservationist John Muir claimed was "best tree-lovers monument that could possibly be found in all the forests of the world."
  7. The Daintree Cape Tribulation coast is where the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree rainforest meet, and the only place on earth where two World Heritage areas exist side by side.
  8. Zanzibar's gently-sloping Paradise Beaches.
  9. The Sheraton Moorea is guaranteed to make you melt.

What should we list as #10?
