The Top 5 Travel Trends for Couples in 2025

The decision-making process behind picking the perfect couples holiday destination can be complex. The location itself, is of course the most important factor, however, reaching a final verdict on where you’re going can often be multi-faceted and is driven by a number of aspects. With trends constantly changing in the social media age, it can be challenging to keep on top of what’s hot and what is most certainly last years news. All is well though, we’re here to keep you in the loop – here are 5 of the hottest travel trends for couples in 2025.

1. Ecologically Conscious Excursions

Seeking an ecologically sustainable stay at your chosen destination is becoming a high priority on many travellers’ checklists in 2025. With consistent reminders in the news regarding climate change and the negative impact that overwhelming tourism may have on popular resort destinations, it’s important for many to consider the consequences of their luxury stays. Thankfully, many hotels and resorts are privy to the effect that neglectful practices may have on the often-beautiful surrounding areas and their endemic populations and have begun tackling the problem head on. Examples include providing recyclable materials for villa-delivered food options, sourcing locally farmed ingredients for in-house restaurants, scheduled beach cleans with hotel staff and much, much more. All of these environmentally sustainable and community driven practices will ensure you leave your chosen destination with full hearts and clear consciences, no matter the location.

2. Cultural Cohesion

Out with tourist traps, in with indigenous immersion. Many travellers are opting to ditch the conventional holiday hotspots and their mainstream merriments in favour of more authentic experiences. With many supremely popular holiday destinations being surrounded by outstretches of beautiful towns, naturalistic marvels and deeply significant cultural landmarks available for travellers to visit, it’s no surprise that many are avoiding conventions associated with typical tourism in favour of more genuine happenings. Many hotels and resorts often promote local attractions and visitations, taking advantage of their location and proximity to these stupendous encounters with the native populations and their beautiful traditions. Pick the perfect place to stay and venture forth with your loved one into the often-magical surroundings of your chosen destination.

3. Chilled Out Holidays

Typically, hotter holiday destinations seem to attract the majority of travellers. However, due to the ever-increasing summer temperatures around the world, many jetsetters are opting to visit cooler climates in pursuit of escaping the soaring weathers at home. The crystalline peaks of Iceland, the shimmering waters of coastal Greenland and the sweeping cityscapes of Sweden are just some of the countries that travellers are flocking to in their quest to find chillier ports of call. Wrap up warm, throw on your finest pair of hiking boots and get ready to find some frostier fancies in 2025.

4. Delicious Destinations

If your prerogative is tracking down the perfect plate of food, you’re in luck – there’s been a surge of travellers heading overseas in order to indulge in the finest foods the world has to offer. Many of the most popular hotels and resorts reside in locations famed for delectable gastronomic experiences, with many hosting organisations offering worldly cuisines within the premises. Authentic eats have become a hot commodity for most travellers, with astoundingly opulent boards such as The Capel Rosso Lighthouse offering the tastes of the Italian island of Giglio to its guests, providing a flavour palette that cannot be experienced anywhere else on the globe. Combining the goal of finding the most flavoursome food options with the aforementioned trend of experiencing the less commercial aspects of your visit will ensure that foodies will be firmly satiated on their next 2025 trip abroad.

5. Group Gallivanting

Our mission is to make sure couples are able to find the very best places to visit on their joint travels. That being said, the more the merrier is a sentiment you and your partner can acknowledge when choosing who to travel with in 2025. Group holidays have always remained a fixture amongst travel trends over the years and are often associated with friendship fuelled debauchery in party destinations, however, the tides have begun to turn in 2025. Choosing to travel with other friends and their partners can lead to exceptionally memorable group experiences whilst abroad and will allow you to indulge in equal parts romance and platonic pleasures. With resort-based activities to enjoy and astoundingly unique traditional experiences being the move in 2025, there are plenty of ways to bask in the pleasures of your chosen location with your special someone and favourite friends. Remember: life is better shared!
