The best love is the kind that awakens the soul, planting a fire in our hearts and bringing peace to our minds. Romance keeps the fire’s flame alive.
Crystal Lagoon Lodge believes the heart of romance lies in togetherness, surprises, and joy.
Every great love starts with a great story. So, our suggestions for adding to your great story are:
· Celebrate nature together: select a special spot – at the beach, in a forest or a koppie in the veld – pack your favourite eats and toast your love over a glass of champagne.
· Enjoy a starry night: grab a blanket to look up at the stars. If you’re lucky, you might even see a shooting star.
· Take over your partner’s daily chores: And surprise him/her with an ‘I did it for you’ – complete with a little memento.
· Incorporate romantic ideas each week. That’s what having a strong relationship is all about. For instance, if your partner has a million-and-one errands to run, offer to do half these for him/her – or the whole lot. Actions speak louder than words!
· Show re-assurance/commitment/ direction: This can be done with regular little notes or text messages to reinforce your feelings, commitment and gratitude.
· Set the scene for relaxation: add bubbles to the bathtub, arrange tealight candles and be creative with herbs or rose petals.
· Prepare a next-level dinner surprise at home with candles, music, flowers and a dress code. Nothing as exciting as date night!
· Have a couch day together: grab the popcorn and drinks and binge-watch a good series on NetFlix.
· Volunteer: Bond by volunteering together at a local animal shelter or in a beach clean-up. Doing good will enrich your souls and strengthen your relationship.
· Book a staycation at a romantic hotel/lodge. Treat yourself to a couples massage or other romantic activities like in-room platters, cocktails, picnic baskets on the beach. And this is where Crystal Lagoon Lodge rules the roost – because we’re absolute suckers for romance. We’ll make sure your staycation will be the most romantic time of your life.
