Hello,

We're travel bloggers who are passionate about discovering and sharing the most romantic getaways and honeymoon destinations from around the globe, starting with South Africa.

Our main goal is straightforward, to help you spend less time on overwhelming booking platforms and more time enjoying memorable experiences.

We achieve this by doing the heavy lifting - gathering and verifying information from real and recent guest reviews, and various trustworthy sources (including our own experiences), making planning your romantic escape as seamless as possible.

Our story

Welcome to The Most Romantic Places! Founded by Kenji Suwanthong and Melissa Furter, our blog is your ultimate guide to the most romantic places across South Africa. We simplify your search for the perfect romantic getaways, ensuring each retreat is as special as it should be.

From experience, we've encountered significant challenges in finding current and reliable information on romantic getaways that are not only clean and well-presented but also genuinely reflective of what is advertised. Many couples, including us, have faced the disappointment of arriving at places that were oversold, where the accommodations did not match the photos or descriptions online. This discrepancy can turn what was meant to be a romantic and relaxing getaway into a frustrating experience, as couples are left dealing with accommodations that fall short of their expectations.

We value honesty, integrity, and community interaction. So, we'd like to encourage you, as our readers, to share your experiences. Not only do we build trust this way, but we also ensure the accuracy and relevance of our content. Please join our community to explore, share, and discover new romantic adventures. We'd love to hear from you and about your romantic getaways!
