Whether you’re planning a proposal or you’re looking to rekindle the spark in a long-term relationship, there’s nothing quite like a beach to bring out the romantic in us. Here are five places — for all kinds of tastes — where you can sit, sip, swim, hold hands, and just take in the majesty of big water: For the ultimate tropical fantasy, check out Fiji. With over 300 separate islands — many of them almost completely untouched — this place really has it all. Pamper yourself in a secluded, luxurious resort. Take a walk through one of the world’s largest Asian orchid collections. Visit the shores where Tom Hanks taught himself to fish and create fire in Castaway. Submerge yourself in the breathtaking wonderland of exotic fish, gorgeous coral, and crystal clear waters with a scuba dive for two. If you’re looking for an extra boost for your proposal, consider that in 2014, the Fiji tourism board reported 600 asks…and 600 yeses. That’s some good mojo! Looking for the perfect passport free getaway? Look no further than the island of Maui. Part of the Hawaiian archipelago, Maui has attracted honeymooners and romance seekers for years with good reason. Stunning sunsets, breathtaking views, and enough activity to keep you happy Maui is an amazing destination, Take the scenic Road to Hana and play in the various waterfalls and pools dotted throughout the journey. With new nonstop flights on Hawaiian Airlines from JFK, getting to the Hawaiian Islands just got easier. For the ultimate in a private-island escape, I have to mention Belize. Often overlooked in favor of more famous places, Belize is just under 7 hours from JFK with direct flights and a quick 15 minute regional flight or 45 minute water taxi to one of the smaller islands off the coast. Belize boasts some of the most pristine shoreline in the world. Cayo Espanto, just off the coast of Belize, is a private island resort with several secluded 5-star villas, and was recently named the #1 honeymoon spot in the world. One of the bungalows, set 150 feet out in the water, features glass floors through which you can view the colorful and varied sea life. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can explore ancient Mayan ruins on the mainland, go diving in the world famous Blue Hole — or you can simply while away the hours overlooking the cerulean waves from your own private deck while the staff sees to your every need. Looking for Parisian romance without the Parisian price tag? Head to the Caribbean to the Guadeloupe Islands for a French Caribbean atmosphere. A French territory conveniently located in the Caribbean, you will be diving into a island comfortably fused with classic French sensibilities with Caribbean attitude in less than 5 hours during peak season from JFK. One of the best kept secrets in the Caribbean, you will have your choice of accommodations on six of the inhabited islands ranging from being in the center of all the attractions to becoming one with nature in a jungle hotel. Looking for another passport free destination, we would be remiss to not include Puerto Rico. As a commonwealth of the United States, US citizens enjoy passport free travel to Puerto Rico and it is less than 5 hours nonstop from JFK. Our preference would be San Juan which has the perfect blend of nightlife, beach life, and culinary masterpieces. However for more adventure or quiet the areas in Rincon, Vieques, or Humacao are also wonderful places to explore outside San Juan. If you love the idea of a beach getaway but need help finding just the perfect destination for your vacation-for-two, let’s set up a time to chat! There are a million opportunities to rekindle the flame — and one of them has your name on it. You can contact me today by clicking here.
I can’t wait to talk to you!

A word! I am very excited to have a featured post by Shanta Covington of Shanta Covington Photography and Video who is an amazing photographer and videographer servicing the New York City area. When looking for partners in the romance business, Shanta was the logical choice because our missions are the same which is to provide and capture amazing memories.
So if you are looking for a wedding or engagement photographer in the New York City area give Shanta a call. When you book a photography session with Shanta you will receive $100 off your 5 day or more honeymoon or romantic getaway. Now without further ado! Hello Million Miles travel agency followers! I’m Shanta Covington of Shanta Covington Photography and Video. In addition to booking great travel plans for your honeymoon, one of the services that newly engaged or soon-to-be married couples must have is great photography. Here are my top three reasons why. 1) Leave it to the Pros While Aunt June or Uncle Joe May have brought the latest and greatest camera, will they have enough time to tear themselves away from the dance floor when their favorite song comes on? Or will they have the knowledge of what different settings are necessary to shoot indoors versus outdoors? Listen, I get that as you’re thinking of all things wedding, photography is one of many things on your to do list. But I want to implore you that it should be at the top because “getting it right” shouldn’t come at the expense of someone who doesn’t have your special day at the front of their mind. Get yourself a professional photographer who will be focused on you the entire day or session. 2) Realize your vision We live in a very visual world. A professional photographer can help you get that shot in the middle of a busy NYC street where time stands still and you and your partner are the focus. Or the shot in your favorite park or outdoor landscape where it looks like it’s only the two of you highlighted by an area that is meaningful. Planning, conceptualizing and capturing your vision is what a professional photographer can do for you. 3) Create Memories This is perhaps my favorite reason because it really is the crux of why I do what I do. Capturing your story, your love and creating memories for you that you can look back on when you’re in your 60’s, 70’s and 80’s is what this is all about. A photo really does convey a thousand things. But the one undeniable things that gets captured is your love for one another that is crystallized in an image forever.
