LET'S BE HONEST...
Date nights at home usually involve traffic, tiredness, and someone saying, “Let’s just Uber Eats.” But put the same couple on holiday? Suddenly, everything feels a little more romantic, a lot more relaxed, and way more memorable.
Here are date ideas that are simply better on holiday, especially when you’re staying somewhere cosy, scenic, and stress-free with MyResorts.
1. MORNING COFFEE WALKS (WITH NO RUSH, NO ALARM)
At home, mornings are chaos. On holiday? Pure magic.
Take your coffee outside, wander around the resort, and enjoy the quiet before the day begins. No emails. No meetings. Just fresh air, birdson, and that "we've got nowhere to be" feeling.
2. DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING (TOGETHER)
This might be the most underrated date idea of all.
Lying by the pool. Sitting on the patio. Watching clouds drift by. Talking… or not talking at all. No guilt, no to-do lists.
3. BOARD GAMES, CARDS & A LITTLE FRIENDLY COMPETITION
A little competition never hurt nobody.
Bring out the cards, dust off the board games, or try something new from the Resort Reception. Whether it’s a serious game of Rummikub or a laugh-filled round of UNO, holidays turn simple games into core memories.
4. COOKING TOGETHER (OR DECIDING NOT TO)
Holiday cooking hits different.
You can:
- Braai together with a view
- Make breakfast slowly, still in pyjamas
- Or decide cooking is cancelled and head out to eat
Whatever you choose, it feels less like a chore and more like an experience.
5. SCENIC DRIVES THAT TURN INTO ADVENTURES
Some of the best dates don’t need a plan.
Hop in the car, explore nearby towns, stop for viewpoints, or a spontaneous lunch spot. These are the moments you laugh about long after the holiday ends.
6. FIRESIDE CHATS & EARLY NIGHTS
(Or Late Ones)
There’s something about a fire, whether it’s a boma, fireplace, or outdoor braai that invites real conversation. Talk about dreams, memories, future trips… or just sit quietly and enjoy the moment.
7. ENDING THE DAY WITH GRATITUDE
(And Maybe Wine)
Sit outside as the sun sets. Reflect on the day. Laugh about the small moments that made it special. Sometimes the best date is simply appreciating where you are - and who you're with.
