What is the most romantic and adventurous vacation in your life time?

If you’re looking to recharge your romance by getting away together, an adventure sports vacation could reignite your spark. That heart-pounding, sweaty-palm feeling you get when you’re first falling in love is partly due to your body’s release of adrenaline and cortisol. Those same stress hormones are also triggered when you’re doing adventure activities such as, say, skiing or mountain biking.

Moreover, getting away with your partner can help refuel your sex life and make you feel more connected because it takes you of out of your daily routines. The best vacations for couples allow plenty of opportunities to de-stress and unwind, as well as offer adventure activities to make your relationship feel more fun. Check out these 3 destinations that offer excitement and relaxation among romantic backdrops.

Mountain Biking in the Holy Land Mild weather and stunning desert landscape make mountain biking in Israel’s Negev desert an ideal way to explore, and more and more trails are being marked for adventurous tourists. (If you’d rather explore on your own 2 feet, the Israel National Trail is a nearly 600-mile hiking path that traverses the nation.) Geofun Desert Cycling Center is located near the unique Ramon Crater and offers multi-day tours with experienced guides, as well as bike rentals. The most romantic -- and luxurious -- place to stay on the Ramon Crater is the new Beresheet Hotel.

Set 2,600 feet above sea level on the edge of the crater and designed to blend in with the desert landscape, the structures are made of natural elements such as wood and stone. Have a sunset drink while gazing out at the crater in the infinity pool; get a couples massage or soak in the Turkish baths at the Carmel Forest Spa; and lounge over locally-sourced food (such as the sinfully sweet sesame paste confection known as halva) in the gourmet restaurant.
