3. Sunrise Breakfast by the beach
Can you think of a better way to start the day? You can enjoy a romantic breakfast by the beach at most of the resorts. Likewise, some guesthouses in local islands also feature restaurants located on the beachside. In addition to that, you can also enjoy a sunrise breakfast on private sandbanks.
4. Floating breakfast in the comfort of your villa
Since we’re in a time social distancing is crucial, you can opt to dine in the comfort of your villa. But, if you want to take things further with a twist of romance (or a surprise) for your partner, a floating breakfast in the pool is fun and perfect for your Instagram.
5. Candlelight dinner under the stars on the beach
Candlelight dinners have long been the classic way to have a romantic evening. But, when you pair it with a sky full of stars and the moonlight, you’re definitely going to feel the difference. If you can’t travel right now to enjoy it on the beach, you can try this at home too!
