Horseback adventures
You had me at yeehaw. Embrace your inner harlequin romantic and plan a stay at La Reata Ranch with your favourite dude. You’ll snuggle up by the campfire, enjoy views of rolling golden hills, and ride off into the sunset together every night.

Cobblestones, cabins, and cycling
Meet me in QC. This gorgeous city truly has it all. Whether you’re rendezvousing at the Fairmont Chateau Frontenac, surrounded by cobblestones or hiding away in a Repère Boréal cabin for two, surrounded by trees, take your date night to the next level. Bike tours, whale watching excursions, foodie trips – it’s all here!
8. Muskoka, ON
Charming cottage country
You don’t always have to make the Muskoka trip a family affair. The private lakeside cottages and adults-only resorts here provide the perfect excuse to leave the kids at home. So, boat, barbeque, and bum around to your hearts’ content. You deserve it!
9. Fogo Island, NL
Cozy up on the edge of the world
You can’t go to the moon and back for your love, but you can go to the edge of the world. Fogo Island Inn will show you how.

10. Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON
Sip, sip, hooray!
If you love the beauty of Niagara Falls, but not so much the full-tilt energy of candy-coloured Clifton Hill, head instead to Niagara-on-the-Lake for some much-needed respite (and wine)! Everything about this sleepy town inspires romance: the iconic accommodations, beautiful river tours, horse-drawn carriage rides, and of course, private wine tours.
11. Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Fabulous food & fun is par for the course
Visit Whitecap Dakota Unceded Territory in the scenic South Saskatchewan River Valley Basin, where you’ll find Dakota Dunes Resort. Enjoy a mouthwatering farm-to-table menu, leisurely golfing at Saskatchewan’s top-ranked 18-hole course, and test your luck with a little blackjack and baccarat at the casino.

From peaks to the Pacific
Will you cycle, stroll, or paddle around this beautiful city? Vancouver’s the perfect getaway for any time of year, with dozens of activities happening both outdoors and in. Gawk at the views along the Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler, where you’ll be met with slopes, sips, spas, and so much more.
13. Osoyoos, British Columbia
Wellness, culture, and nature
In the midst of Canada’s only desert, surrounded by trails, hills, and vineyards, Nk'Mip, Spirit Ridge offers a peaceful oasis for both heart and soul. At this all-suites resort, detoxifying mud wraps, wine tastings, and visits to Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre are a must!

Experience the wonder of the Haida Nation’s traditional home
You might think you’re getting away from it all, but once the waves carry you to the shores of Haida Gwaii, you’ve realized that you’ve only just found it. Take the visitor’s pledge to respect and follow the Haida ways of being, then experience the beauty of Haida Gwaii’s air, ocean, land, and people. Whether you’re relaxing in the luxurious Haida House, watching humpback whales breaching, or snacking at all the local restaurants and food trucks, this trip will be like no other.
15. Essipit, Québec
Cottage living with a view
Imagine stepping out of your private riverside cottage to uninterrupted views of whales migrating along the St. Lawrence river. This magical scene takes place in Vacances Essipit, a tranquil collection of cottages, campgrounds, and condo-hotels all perfectly located for outfitting trips, sea kayaking, and more.
16. Trout Point, Nova Scotia
A luxury wilderness resort escape
Why stop at just 5 stars? Feast your eyes on the skies with guided stargazing tours at Trout Point eco-lodge, hidden away in the UNESCO listed Nova Scotia biosphere reserve. You and your sweetheart can sweat it out in the outdoor barrel sauna and wood-fired hot tub, then toast the perfect getaway with award-winning wines over a 4-course gourmet dinner.
17. St. Andrews-by-the-Sea, New Brunswick
A historic seaside escape
Established and lovingly maintained since 1889, The Algonquin Resort in St. Andrews is a Canadian staple when it comes to seaside escapes. Go for a dip at Katy’s Cove beach, chow down on chowder and lobster at Braxton’s, and rent a pair of bicycles to explore the Maritime town at your own pace.
