The New Year is rumored to bring exciting experiences and opportunities, but dinner and a movie isn’t exactly MissTravel’s idea of a good time. If the routine and domestic dating is feeling a bit bland for you, read on and discover some new and exotic ways to make a date more memorable.

1. Locks of Love in Paris, France

In this romantic city, expressing your affection is anything but passé. Paralleling the Seine River is a chain-link fence covered in secured padlocks, each adorned with the initials of the couples who placed the lock. Once the padlock is clinched it is the lovers tradition to throw the keys into the river, forever fastening their admiration. Awwww.

2. Hot Tubbing at the Tree House Lodge in Limon, Costa Rica

Nestled in the trees and surrounded by the lush forest and beachfront on Punta Uva, this resort is a great place to get lost with your partner. The unique lodging accommodations and tranquil atmosphere offer a break from reality, not to mention a private locale for sudsing in a luxurious and romantic tub.

3. Sex on the Beach of Islamorada, Florida

After a sunrise yoga class or a morning of golf, the perfect activity for couples is an intimate rendezvous on the tranquil beaches of this Key West staple isle. What could be better than an private wrestle in the sand for two?

4. Reindeer Sleigh Ride at The Igloo Village in Kakslauttanen, Finland

As an adventurous alternative to traditional skiing in domestic locations, this unique inn has an array of conventional cabins as well as glass roofed igloos. Imagine the Northern Lights overhead and a special someone under the covers… a perfect getaway!

5. Lovina Hot Springs in Bali, Indonesia

If you’re ready to explode from trip anticipation, the volcanic hot springs of Banjar is only a few miles from Lovina Beach, and a positively steamy and exotic destination. This quiet and intimate spot is sure to erupt with romance and pleasure.

Dating at home can be a bore. Strive for more adventure in 2014 and take your love abroad. Happy New Year!
