Guernsey’s beautiful landscape, stunning coastal views, and quaint cobbled streets of St Peter Port make it a romantic paradise for couples.

Whatever your love language, Guernsey will have something for you.
We now offer hotels and ferry travel so browse our holidays to Guernsey or get some inspiration for your trip below.
1. Rocquette Cider Tasting Tour
Rocquette Cider is Guernsey’s premium quality cider, and it is all made on a farm tucked into the beautiful Fauxquets Valley. Cider production in Guernsey started as early as the 16th century and was recognised for its unique taste with vast quantities being shipped over to the UK. Try something new as a couple and take a tour of the cider farm and apple orchard, making sure to sample the different varieties along the way!
2. Island Hopping
Guernsey is just one of the beautiful Channel Islands, and what’s stopping you from exploring more? Guernsey is a great base to explore the islands of Herm, Sark, and Alderney, with less than an hour boat travel time between them. Sit back and relax on a comfortable and safe boat, and then discover the charm of each island.
3. Take out a tandem
Guernsey is the perfect place for a bike ride, with the maximum speed limit on all roads being 35mph. There are many different places to rent bicycles, whether you choose to take out your own or join forces and tackle a tandem, the choice is yours! On two wheels, you have more freedom to explore the hidden off-road gems of the island while soaking in the beautiful Channel Island air. Hire a bike here.
4. Hit the town
For an evening in St Peter Port, enjoy dinner at one of our many restaurants, followed by an evening at performance hall St James, where music, comedy and more are available year round. Check out their calendar to see what’s coming up. If you want to keep the evening going afterwards, head back into town for some drinks and nibbles.
5. Watch the sunset at Cobo Bay
There are many bays in Guernsey for couples to cuddle up on, but Cobo Bay on the north western side of the island is the ideal location to sit out with a picnic and enjoy the sunset in the evening. The large sandy shore means you’ll easily be able to find a private place to snuggle up and watch the sun go down. If you rather watch the views from a restaurant, there are multiple options to pick from lining the promenade with delicious food and drinks.
6. Victoria Tower
Head to Candie Garden Museum and Gallery and ask for the secret key. You will be handed an original, somewhat weighty, iron key that will give you access to a historic public building, Victoria Tower. Upon receipt of the key, you can head up the ninety-nine stairs to the top of the tower which overlooks St Peter Port and out to sea. Whilst there, look closely for the carved initials of exiled resident Victor Hugo, who wrote Les Misérables on Guernsey, and his lover Juliette Drouet. The two used to meet in the tower in secret. The view from the top is well worth the climb.
7. Pamper yourself with a couple spa experience
There’s not much more of a relaxing way to enjoy each other’s company than a luxurious spa experience. Guernsey has many spa hotels on the island, so there are a few options to choose from. However, one of our favourites is the Old Government House Hotel and Spa. Here you can pick from a range of treatments, as well as full access to their spa including jacuzzi, steam room and sauna; the perfect way to relax and unwind.
8. Enjoy a surf lesson together
A great way to bring you closer together is to try a new experience, and if you are both surfing newbies, Guernsey is the perfect place to change this! Guernsey Surf School at Vazon Bay has everything you need to get your confidence out in the water. The instructors are all qualified life guards and accredited surf coaches, so you know you are in good hands.
9. Challenge your creativity at Iris & Dora
Iris & Dora is a small, family-run creative workshop, studio and gift shop in St Peter Port. Here, you can pick from an impressive array of objects to decorate, get settled with some paints, then let your creativity take hold. You can paint whatever your artistry skills allow, and if painting isn’t your strong point, you can easily keep it simple. Whatever the outcome, the experience is worth it!
