Date : 2016-05-28

Fancy spoiling your special someone by whisking them away for a romantic City break? Barcelona is a perfect place for that well deserved getaway with your partner, boasting an impressive selection of cosy bars, intimate eateries and mesmerising landscapes for you to admire hand in hand. There is a reason why it’s internationally renowned as a top honeymoon destination afterall!

Here are a few suggestions of luxury infused locations and experiences which will promote relaxation and ensure that you enjoy your time out - and enjoy one another. 

A sensual wine tour

It is no secret that with (good) wine comes romance. Fortunately, this beautiful city and its surrounding areas are blessed with the ideal conditions for vino-making, meaning that you certainly will not go thirsty during your stay in the Catalan capital. It therefore bears reason that a day trip to one of the region’s top wineries - with the wine country’s spectacular scenery, breathtaking views and glorious Mediterranean weather features in our list. Take a tour of Barcelona's quirky boutique wineries and art nouveau cellars, where you can sample an exquisite selection of authentic wines. 

Bask on the beach

Take a trip to Barceloneta Beach, one of the city’s oldest stretches of coastline for a break from your sightseeing, and a quiet moment on the golden sands. Its outstanding natural beauty and vibrant atmosphere makes it a favourite amongst locals and tourists alike, so if you are hoping to spend time tanning it is advisable to arrive early to secure a prime spot in the sunshine and treat yourselves to a refreshing drink or cocktail from one of the fabulous chiringuitos along the beachline (it would be rude not to). Whilst a glorious place to spend the day we think the beach is also an ambient setting to experience the sunset and embrace a moment of reflection. 

A sumptuous day at Aire de Barcelona

If you have a desire to escape the ordinary in exchange for a peaceful and serene sanctuary that will leave you feeling deeply relaxed and revitalised then be sure to visit Aire de Barcelona - an oasis of ultimate luxury and relaxation and the perfect place to seek refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Located in the cosmopolitan Born neighbourhood in a former meat storage area of El Born Market, it has an inherently calm and harmonious atmosphere, imbued with sweet aromas and sounds of peace and tranquillity, to satisfy each of your senses. Disconnect from the modern world and enjoy the uninterrupted company of your partner in their exclusive thermal baths. Where better to heighten the sensual energy than in the midst of the remains of medieval Barcelona?

A passionate trip to Port Vell

Passion does not exist like passion at Port Vell. From the divine selection of seafood restaurants spilling out on the quay to the unbeatable views of the Mediterranean with its glistening waters. You may choose to begin your evening at La Gavina, located just below the stunning arches of the impressive Palau de Mar, where you can indulge in fine dining accompanied by flawless service. Reknowned as serving the best seafood in Barcelona La Gavina is certain to provide a truly divine and memorable dining experience.

For some post-meal relaxation, and only a stone’s throw away, you will find 1881 Per Sagardi - a hidden gem perched atop the Museu d’Historia de Catalunya. A seat on their outside terrace rewards you with breathtaking views of the Barcelona skyline and the beautifully illuminated Port Vell. This Barcardi-sponsored cocktail bar has a wonderful selection of delicious wines and decadent cocktails, including a mouth watering menu of the non alcoholic kind. 

And to conclude your evening? How about a romantic late night stroll along the Passeig de Colom, where you can admire some of Barcelona’s most beautiful architecture as you make your way along the stunning palm-lined pathway.

So there you have it, our thoughts for a romantic stay in Barcelona. We would love to hear yours too.
