Who can travel to the Isle of Man
With its fabled seaside towns, dramatic coastlines, and gorgeous countryside, this starlet of the British Isles is the perfect setting for your very own love story.
If you're looking to wow your partner with a romantic weekend away, look no further than the Isle of Man. We've crafted an itinerary to help you make the most of the Island's most beautiful settings.
Nothing sparks romance quite like a breathtaking ocean view, so we suggest a dreamy morning walk at one of the Island's coastal beauty spots. Try walking along a section of the Raad ny Foillan if you're feeling adventurous, or take a more leisurely stroll on a Derbyhaven & Langness Nature Walk. Afterwards, stop for some brunch at Kellas in Port St Mary for excellent food in a stunning setting. If the sun is shining, head to the garden area for unrivalled views over Chapel Beach.
Following this, treat yourself to a calming session at one of the Island's luxurious spas; Comis Spa and Wellbeing, The Willow Spa, Brightlife, or The King's Spa. What better way to chill out and enjoy time with your partner? Afterwards, stay zen with an amble through one of the Island's pretty glens, we recommend Ballaglass Glen in the north, Groudle Glen in the East, Silverdale Glen in the South and Glen Helen in the West.
In the evening, enjoy drinks at Douglas's Kiki Lounge, a funky cocktail lounge located on North Quay. Then grab dinner at one of the city's most romantic restaurants, L'Experience or Coast Bar & Brasserie.
A wander around the vibrant gardens of a picturesque mansion house is the perfect way to spend your second morning on the Isle of Man. Pair this with brunch at Milntown Cafe to enjoy a meal that features homegrown produce from the very gardens that you've just walked through.
Follow your serene morning with a distillery tour and tasting at The Fynoderee Distillery to learn about the process of making the Island's well-loved premium spirits. You'll get to enjoy some wonderful beverages in the distillery's Fyn Bar, located on site at the Ramsey premises.
Hop aboard the Manx Electric Railway and trundle towards the quaint fishing village of Laxey. Here you can enjoy the lovely beach, The Great Laxey Wheel, and Laxey Glen, before settling down for dinner at The Shore Hotel Laxey, an elegant restaurant and pub housed in a beautifully modernised hotel.
Start your third day in Peel with a look around the dramatic ruins of Peel Castle, there's a romantic, whimsical feel to the Viking castle that makes it the ideal place to add a bit of Manx culture to your couple's weekend. You can also check out the idyllic Fenella Beach, located right beside the castle.
Get yourselves a tasty lunch from Greens Cafe in St Johns before taking a look at the incredible jewellery at Element Isle, based at the nearby Tynwald Mills Shopping Centre. Why not buy a special present for your loved one? Alternatively, make your way to Ballasalla for a mouth-watering afternoon tea at The Abbey, accompanied by a walk along the babbling Silverburn River.
No visit to the Isle of Man is complete without an epic sunset, and the best place for this is Peel, AKA "Sunset City". Sit atop Peel Hill, on Peel Headlands, or on Peel Beach to enjoy a scenic sunset. Follow this up with a delightful seafood dinner at The Boatyard Restaurant.
End your trip to the Island with a spot of stargazing. Thanks to its almost non-existent light pollution, the Isle of Man is a dream for stargazers, with 26 dark sky sites located across the Island.
