* Some can’t resist Ideas for your quality Romantic Memories:

  1. Candle light dinner: Candle light dinner beneath the moon, along sea shore, is great thing to experience. Deep conversations are taken forward with a glass of wine is more romantic thing to do. Several restaurants in Andaman offer such candle light dinner. Candlelight dinner on the beach is a must-do sensory delight, probably it is the most romantic dining experience, ideal for an under-the-stars celebration. The aromatic candles spread the romantic mode and you will be led to the dining table arranged near the beach. Enjoy the delicious food on your table as the sea waves play the chorus music.
  2. Dine on a cruise ship: Cruise ship journey is demanded by every tourist. Couples can have a romantic dinner with the open blue sky and sea to get heavenly experience.
  3. Dive: Swim along the marine life of the sea with your partner makes your honeymoon more memorable.
  4. Wobble along with the music: No matter whichever club you go, this adds more romance in between you and your partner.
  5. Indulge each other, together: Couples massages encourage bonding, increase the comfort level for both individuals, and offers a rare opportunity. For you do something together where you’ll both leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. As if these weren’t reasons enough, imagine experiencing all of these things on a pristine beach. The sound of waves lapping on the shore in the background, and the cool ocean breezes teasing your skin.
  6. Scavenger Hunt on the Beach: Scavenger hunts on the beach make for such a cute date idea. This is particularly true if going in the late evening or early morning as there will be fewer people around and the things that get hidden won’t be disturbed. Not only is this a fun activity to do with a significant other, but it really sparks up the bond between two people.This is because the scavenger hunt revolves around their relationship and there is usually a prize at the end. This could be the proposal ring from the last idea, flowers, jewellery, tickets to something, etc. Basically, the prize is any kind of gift the other wants to give their boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, or wife! Planning out a scavenger hunt may sound like a lot of work, but it is not! In fact, it can be quite simple. It all depends on how much hunting has to be done. Shorter scavenger hunts can be fun and still result in a great time. However, going too overboard and it taking too long can ruin the experience. There should be a balance! This balance can be 5 to 10 clues. The clues can be pictures or quotes from the relationship or a favoured television show. The key is to create a build-up for the prize. The clues will drop subtle hints as to where the other clues are and ultimately the prize. It can also be clues describing bits of the final prize as well. When doing this on the beach, planning is key. The clues can be put in envelopes or small boxes from a dollar store that can be buried in the sand. They can be found through playing “hot or cold” by telling the person how close they are to a clue. Another great way to execute it can be through a small map that is drawn up for the clue locations. Other places to consider hiding clues can be in driftwood, behind rocks, or even plant life that backdrops a beachfront. This fun idea really makes an exciting beach date!
  7. Collect sea shells and make each other jewelry: Part ways from your significant other and find seashells and other beach items to make jewelry for your other half. Even if the jewelry is not 100% wearable, it is the thought that counts.
  8. Have a Private Slow Dance Party: Pop in your I-Phone into portable speakers and make a playlist with the most romantic slow songs(perhaps Lag ja gale would be the best one, thank me later) for couple dance. Dance the night away under the moon lite sky.
  9. Carve your names into the sand: Use a stick or your fingers to carve you names into the sand. Although, the water might wash away your words, you love will live through you both.
  10. Holds hand while you star gaze: When you are at the beach, the stars seem bigger and brighter than usual. You can try guessing the name of the star constellations while holding each other’s hand.
  11. Pitch a tent and wait for sunrise: Sunsets are always amazing to watch but if you can catch the sunrise, it is even better. Pitch a tent together and stay up all night waiting for the sunrise. You can fill in the time to talk about your likes, ideas, and hobbies.
  12. Under-water proposal: Proposals are most special yet important part of a relationship for any couple. So, its highly advisable that it should be done in a way that its romantic essence never gets faded even after decades. The more creatively done, the romantic it becomes and what can be more creative than doing it underwater, where the thoughtless mind intensifies soulful values to the proposal.
