Fire up the passion in your partnership with a dinner to remember in an equally unforgettable location. Joanna Tovia reveals some of the most romantic restaurants and ravishing private-dining experiences for couples across the globe.
THE OBEROI AMARVILAS Agra, India
You’ll need to plan ahead to make this moment happen, but your special someone is sure to appreciate your efforts. The Oberoi Amarvilas is a luxury hotel with clear views of the ultimate monument to love: the Taj Mahal. Reserve a room facing the marble Mughal icon during a full moon and book a private, four-course candlelit dinner on your balcony – complete with your own butler – to marvel at the view as the sun goes down. Combine your stay with a Taj Romance spa experience for couples and perhaps even a Hindu renewal of vows ceremony to really show you care.

TALI WIRU AND MAYU WIRU Yulara, Australia
With magical views of Uluru and Kata Tjuta, a Tali Wiru (‘beautiful dune’) dinner in the desert is an intimate and often spiritual experience. It begins with the didgeridoo music resonating into the silence and ends with an Aboriginal storyteller sharing Dreamtime tales after dinner. The Tali Wiru experience is available from April 1 to October 15. From October 22 to March 24, the Mayu Wiru experience treats a limited number of adults to a private dinner with innovative use of Indigenous flavours, a nightcap and an exclusive tour of the Field of Light art installation in Uluru’s foreground.
