Life is to be celebrated, any time of year and, for those who have been married for a decade, we’re sharing some fabulous 10 Year anniversary trip ideas. Why is 10th anniversary important? It’s possible you spend more time looking after others and less time celebrating each other, and the life you’ve made together – and you deserve to spend more than one night doing that.

It doesn’t really matter what sort of anniversary getaway you go for; the key is finding the trip that brings you together. Maybe there’s a city or small town you’ve always wanted to go to, or one you spent some of those heady early days in that you’d like to return to? Maybe there’s a destination that was in the running for your honeymoon? Or maybe you’ve always fancied a hot air balloon ride or a romantic dinner overlooking the Eiffel Tower?

We’ve put together some 10 Year anniversary trip ideas to help you settle on the right romantic anniversary vacation for you. And while we’re here, you might be wondering: what is a traditional 10-year anniversary gift? It’s tin. Might we suggest a little travel tin to go with your trip of a lifetime?

Napa Valley 

If the sound of a classic locomotive steam whistle makes your hearts skip a beat and you also happen to love wine, rolling hills and gorgeous dinners in red banquette seating, the Napa Valley Wine Train is for you. Peel your attention from the windows to gaze into each other’s eyes as you roll into world class vineyards for wine tastings in your exquisitely maintained 100-year-old Pullman train car.

The Maldives 

If you didn’t get to do the most honeymoon of honeymoons the first time round, what’s stopping you? Now you can do it without the accompanying stress of planning a wedding. For this anniversary getaway, think: lounging together in your overwater bungalow, gazing at the Indian Ocean from your own private plunge pool, relaxing on the beach, taking a sunset stroll on the diamond white sand.

Japan

Perhaps you both have a hankering for an adventure – somewhere far from home, that you’ve always wanted to see. Find love in the bamboo groves, temples and gardens of Kyoto, or the sheer thrills and traditions of Tokyo, or the art and peace of Naoshima, or all of the above. Our Majestic Japan journey will introduce you to castles, hot springs and bullet trains – it’s the romance and adventure you’re lusting after, the Luxury Gold way.

Paris

Just because the City of Love is obvious, doesn’t mean it’s not the most romantic anniversary trip in the world. There’s a reason why it features on our list of 10 Year anniversary trip ideas. To embrace your inner cliche, you will need: a hotel with views of the Eiffel Tower from your balcony, a hand-in-hand stroll around some gardens, a cruise along the Seine, copious romantic dinners, a moment together with La Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, a kiss on the Pont des Arts, a padlock.

Cappadocia

If hot air balloon rides are high on your list, you will fall for fairytale Cappadocia, famed for its honeycomb-colored volcanic rock landscapes, sculpted by erosion into towers, cones, valleys, and caves in the central Anatolia plateau. On an anniversary getaway here, you’ll soar above those other-worldly views, sleep in a romantic cave hotel and watch the sunrise over breakfast and Turkish tea on the hotel rooftop – the sky will already be dotted with balloons.

The Amalfi Coast

Take your beloved by the hand and go looking for the dolce vita. You will find there is not much sweeter in the world than the dramatic clifftop views, poolside Bellinis, cliff-clinging villages, vineyards, lemon groves and sparkling, azure waters of the Amalfi Coast. Each small town is as ravishing as the one before it. This is an iconic vacation for a special pair of icons.

New Orleans

If you can’t decide between a vacation and a party, go to New Orleans, where noone would ever make you choose. Spend the night of your life together at a jazz club, sip Sazeracs in a world class bar and send your tastebuds wild over oysters, po’ boys, jambalaya, gumbo, freshly baked beignets and – oh – the pralines! Those little golden morsels of sugar and pecan. And that’s just for starters.

England

If your idea of romance includes quaint English villages, chic cocktail bars and secluded hot tubs in the countryside, pack your peacoat for a romantic getaway on the cobbles. In England, you can do it all in a relatively short space of time: his and hers massages in a world class hotel, Michelin star dining, fairytale castles and all the charm and wonder of those quintessential small towns.

Arizona 

California has the most National Parks in North America but Arizona has some of the most astonishing landscapes to bask in. If you like the idea of going off-grid together for a while, perhaps the canyons and craters are calling – and not necessarily the grand one. The artsy desert town of Sedona is breathtaking – celebrate your love in its brilliant orange-red glow by day, staring at its star-spangled, inky black skies by night, with romantic dinners and wine tastings in between.
