Oman is one of our favourites as you could propose on a private overnight cruise along the coast from Muscat, up against the beautiful mountains. Montenegro or Croatia are beautiful short- haul destinations with romantic coastlines. You dont want to trump where you end up going on your honeymoon. Can the old clichs such as Paris still conjure romance? Theyre clichs for a reason but youve got to be canny; avoid school holidays so there arent thousands of children, and Valentines Day because youll be in the restaurant with 19 other men on their knees proposing. Whats a top holiday proposal? Weve had some outstanding proposals and weve sent people on short breaks where theyve got engaged, done their honeymoons and babymoons. One guy was in the Maldives diving and we arranged for him to take down a message board with Will you marry me? written on it. Is romance on your agenda? Destination love: Follow the experts advice on the best things to do on your romantic escapades Jane Ward is an adviser for Travel Counsellors Which destinations are hot for proposals this year? Burgh Island off the coast of Devon, which has a beautiful art deco hotel built in 1929. Its like going back to the 1920s, and if the tides in you can go over on the sea tractor. Can the old clichs such as Paris still conjure romance? Walking hand in hand along the Champs-Elyses or on the Seine. Whats a top holiday proposal? I had somebody organise what his girlfriend thought was a very short trip to Ibiza. In fact he was taking her to New York. He proposed on top of the Empire State! Best honeymoon destination? South Africa. A trip to Cape Town, a private game reserve and then on to Mauritius is perfect. Whats the most romantic way to travel? The train, and it has to be the Orient Express. You have your own cabin and a steward who looks after your every whim. The bar car has a pianist. A night on the train is really romantic, nothing like commuting. h USA SALE NOW ON!

She snatched it off him and wrote: Yes! Best honeymoon destination? People are moving away from fly and flop. Theyre tired after their weddings but want to combine relaxation with something active. The bush and beach combination in eastern or southern Africa is always a winner and Brazil is popular; Rio is hugely sexy. Whats the most romantic way to travel? Flying business or first class makes such a difference. You feel really spoilt; the problem is it can get quite addictive! index.html2.html3.html4.html5.html6.html7.html8.html9.html10.html11.html12.html13.html14.html15.html16.html17.html18.html19.html20.html21.html22.html23.html
