Visit Nantucket, Massachusetts, together in late August, when the tourists begin to wane. The White Elephant Hotel is the most exclusive and elegant on the island---a perfect oasis for a romantic weekend. The hotel is decorated very comfortably, making guests feel at home, and the lounge chairs on their private beach cannot be beaten anywhere on the island. The White Elephant is right near Brant Point Light house, a stunning scene at sunset. For dinner, walk Nantucket's cobblestones to Town, a newly renovated restaurant with plush couches, dim candlelight and Indian fusion food to share with your partner.

Although trips to a city like Boston can seem stressful, if done correctly, you can focus all your energy on romance. On a warm Saturday in May, after you've plowed through the winter, take your partner to the Four Seasons on the Boston Common. Request a room with a view of the Public Gardens when you make the reservation and tell them this is a romantic getaway for some extra-nice treatment. While you're preparing for your night, have strawberries and chocolate sent to your room. For dinner, visit La Voile for French cuisine and a European atmosphere. Having everything within walking distance eliminates any stress from your trip so you can focus on each other.
