A rather memorable dinner underwater. At Latitude 4° on Huvafen Fushi, you can enjoy your meal by candlelight and under the watchful eye of passing fish.

Supposedly, nothing sparkles as much as the eyes of someone in love. Whether that's true will be hard to verify. What is certain, however, is that the stars in Tenerife's dark night sky are happy to accept the challenge. Near the Gran Hotel Bahia del Duque there is an observatory where lovers can reach for the stars. They can even baptize them! Additionally there are still more romantic experiences to be enjoyed there for Valentine's Day. For example, partner treatments or a picnic on the third highest volcano in the world.

For example, in the African savannah. Above the Arizona desert. And among other places, Vilnius. It is the only city in Europe that allows rides over the houses of the city.
