If you could go anywhere for a week as a couple where would you go...

[IdaBattersea]

This isn't really a hypothetical question, I am starting a new job and have some time of in between but in term time....a family member can look after my children for a week and I have a reasonable budget to pay for this.

Where would you go...

I travel a lot for work and I loved this place. Over night flight so it doesn't matter it's 11h.

Bliss

Or maybe Iceland but you’d have to check the best time to go.

Iceland will be great in November but not very beach-y

Iceland. We went last year, it was fab and a week would be a perfect amount of time.

Greece. A mix of historical sites (without bored dc) and beach.

Was going to say we had a lovely week doing Athens and Santorini. But just seen your going in November so it wouldn't be very warm if that's the kind of thing your looking for.
For November if you want nice weather you need to travel abit further

Cape Town.

Sorry posted too soon. We loved The Seychelles. But it might feel too quick for a week.
Perhaps somewhere on the Caribbean? Barbados's is an 8 hour direct flight.

Mauritius

We are looking at Sicily historically fascinating and the food looks so varied and tasty.

Cancun/Caribbean. Rainy season is over and guarded sunshine. Lots of all inclusives and direct flights.

*Guaranteed

Couples resort, Negril, Jamaica

Or

Ortigia, near Siracusa, Sicily

Sorry just seen it’s November. Rio de Janeiro?

The Maldives in November was amazing when we went - would go back in a heartbeat

St Lucia? Cape Verde? Antigua? Bahamas?

Siem Reap, Cambodia.
Such a lovely place. And Angkor Watt and Angkor Thom are close by.
So cool. 👍

I second St Lucia. Caribbean a shorter flight than some of the other long haul options. Look for hotels/Airbnb’s on the quieter and beautiful west coast, around Soufriere and the Pitons. Definitely manageable in a week.

Back to the Seychelles, stunning

Siem Reap, Cambodia.

I'm off there in January, cannot wait!

Antigua. SA too far for a week and November not guaranteed to be warm.

Snorkeling with the dolphins in the Red Sea, in Eilat.
November is the perfect time of year weather-wise!

New York 🥰

Places I would recommend

Vienna
New York
Barbados (but imo I think 10 days here would be better)
Capri
Italian Lake District Lake Garda/lake Maggiore.
Florence
Venice
Santorini
Cape cod USA

Barbados. I love it there.

Italy. Hire a car. Nice villa with pool. Eat loads. Drink wine. Bliss

Philippines! Not expensive once you're there are stunning white beaches especially some of the islands there!
