10 most romantic getaways

The Seychelles
Flight time from Dubai: 4.5 hours
A speck on the map off the southern African coast, the Seychelles are an escapist fantasy for travellers, with all the luscious coastline and classic paradise features you could want, and then some. You could spend a day exploring one of the globe’s smallest capital cities, Victoria, try some deep-sea fishing or go mountain biking, but you’ll probably be more tempted to relax on the beach, in front of some astonishing cliff faces. However you ultimately decide to spend your time, you’ll have one of the world’s most romantic destinations as your backdrop.
