We’ve all been there, the butterflies you feel right before your first holiday as a couple. Don’t worry, On the Beach are here with our tried and tested top tips to ensure your first romantic break with a new partner runs as smoothly as possible…
Research
Before you book your holiday, make sure you’ve sat down and done your research on everything from flight time, weather, currency and even what there is to do there (you can find our travel guides here.)
By researching a few destinations you’ll have an idea of what there is to do in your resort and you can even plan what you want to do when you’re there, leaving more time for doing activities…
Test the waters
Before you jet off to a fortnight away in Mexico, why not try a long weekend in Barcelona or even 7 nights away in the Balearic sun? That way you’ll spend less time on the plane and more time in the sun with your loved one…
Work out a budget
Agree on a budget before hand and decide who’s paying for what to avoid any confusion when you’re on your romantic getaway. Maybe suggest splitting everything 50/50, it is 2016 after all…
Activity planning
When deciding what you want to do whilst on holiday, make sure that each party have chosen at least one activity. So if your partner fancies a day at the waterpark and you’ve got your eye on a shopping trip, plan out what days you intend to do each activity on and stick to avoid any arguments when you’re there…
Make new friends
It’s very likely that there’ll be other couples on their first holiday abroad so why not strike up a conversation and see where it leads?
You never know… you may end up meeting your new BFF and it means you don’t have to do that morning aquafit class alone…
Relax on your first holiday as a couple
