And the below breaks are proof that a romantic escape doesn’t need to come with a hefty price tag.

REYKHOLT, ICELAND
If adventure is your thing, couples can’t go wrong with Iceland, a country covered in volcanoes (around 130, to be precise).
Plus, if you haven’t managed to spot the Northern Lights in the UK yet, then your chances are much greater here in winter.

November is one of the best months to see the colourful phenomenon light up the skies.
Wrap up warm and head straight to the 3* Fosshotel in Reykholt, about an hour and a half north of Reykjavik in the car.
The cosy and contemporary property offers respite from the snow outside with a spa that's home to a Finnish sauna and outdoor wooden hot tubs (there are also cold tubs for those who dare).
Head to the hotel bar to sample a pint of locally-brewed lager, Gull, then venture out of the village towards the Lava Waterfalls (Hraunfossar).
The falls are a result of a volcanic eruption from many years back. The hot flowing lava created tubes under the earth that water now flows through.
Three nights room-only at the is from £197pp with easyJet Holidays, including flights from Manchester on November 25.
MARRAKECH, MOROCCO
It could be the smell of mint tea wafting through the alleyways or it might be the tightly packed souks, laden with pots of amber spices that match the colour of the sunsets.
Either way, Morocco is the perfect escape for culture vultures.
And at the 5* JAAL Riad Resort at the southern edge of Marrakech you’ll have your fill of culture at your very fingertips.
Couples can participate in leather workshops where they’ll create their own accessories inspired by those they’ve seen in the nearby markets or join an embroidery class where they’ll learn some professional techniques
LANZAROTE, CANARY ISLANDS
Seeking a sizzling retreat before Christmas?
Lanzarote is just the place for you. And easyJet holidays has a seven-night self-catering getaway at the 3* Bitacora Lanzarote Club from just £326pp.
With highs of around 22C in winter, this Canary Island is the optimal winter sun destination for those wanting some heat without flying long haul.
As well as a large swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers, many of the modern apartments have balconies or terraces from which you can soak up the heat.
The beach is around a ten-minute walk away if you prefer to sunbathe by the ocean on soft sands backed by swaying palm trees.
It’s also the place to head for seafront dining and tipples, with rows of pubs, lively cocktail bars and restaurants lining the promenade.
The above package price includes 23kg of luggage per person, transfers and flights from Luton on December 11.
PAPHOS, CYPRUS
There's a reason Cyprus has become such a popular holiday spot for honeymooners.
The hotel sits right next to The Tombs of the Kings, a fascinating Unesco World Heritage Site featuring sunken graves and underground chambers.
The beach is just a 10-minute stroll away, crammed with local cafes serving fresh seafood.
