Whether you are looking for something more intimate or an entirely new experience, we’ve got you covered with the top 10 places to spice up your love life.

Located on a secluded hill encircled by emerald forests, tropical gardens and overlooking the Arenal Volcano, you and your loved one will experience total seclusion. Spend your time together in one of the many hot springs to re-energize, share a meal at one of the six dining options then enjoy each other’s company on your private balcony that includes an outdoor shower and hot tub.

Museum of Sex, New York, New York, United States
Eager to learn something new? The Museum of Sex is here to inform. Its mission is to preserve and present the history, evolution and cultural significance of human sexuality and it’s committed to encouraging public enlightenment and engagement. From the sex life of animals to the evolution of pornography to FUNLAND: Pleasures and Perils of the Erotic Fairground (a hands-on exhibit designed to stimulate all five senses in both subtle and not-so-subtle ways), you and your S.O. may find yourselves leaving this museum and a little curious…
Atame Restaurant, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Whether or not you believe in the power of aphrodisiacs, there is no denying the romance and seduction power that Atame will have on a couple. The blend of the mansion-like décor, performances, music and food combine to give lasting effect. Settle in for an evening featuring ingredients used to spice up not only your food, but your love life, including maca, damiana, ginkgo biloba, muira puama, tribulus terrestris and epimedium, all of which are considered aphrodisiacs and all of which are included in the recipe for love.
Hidden Beach Resort, Riviera Maya, Mexico
It’s not hard to conclude that social nudity can be a sensual experience (for some people), but nude resorts, like the Hidden Beach Resort, want to provide more than just that. The concept for most nude resorts is to provide a safe place for total freedom and a chance to rid yourself of insecurities and be who you’re really meant to be. Enjoy life with nothing to hide as you share all the amenities the resort has to offer. A few days of seeing your lover in this more complete way is sure to re-energize your love life.
(Please note that sexual behavior must be reserved for your private suite and that inappropriate behavior or gestures are not within the etiquette of clothes-free resorts.)
Afternoon tea, London, England
What could be more romantic than tea for two? How about tea for two with a view. BB Bakery offers an afternoon tea boat tour that is the perfect setting for a love story. Let us paint the romantic picture for you: Imagine sipping tea while floating down the Thames in a vintage, private motor yacht with a uniformed captain and taking in some of London’s best culture, landmarks and history while feeding each other finger sandwiches, cakes, scones and pastries…Oh la la… if this isn’t romantic, we don’t know what else is.
Sexpo, Perth, Australia
This year Sexpo will be held in Perth from June 4 to 7. Sexpo is known as a sexuality and adult lifestyle exhibition and is the world’s largest adult show designed to provide a fun and vibrant atmosphere for open-minded adults. What can you expect? Entertainment that ranges from international performers and hypnotists to comedians, strip competitions and more; shopping, but not for things you can typically find at a mall (hint, hint); and lots of socializing and fun at the lounges and bars. After a night (or two), Sexpo will be sure to add some spice in your life.

Naughty in N’awlins, New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
For five days (July 29 – August 2), New Orleans is even spicier than usual. For a decidedly adult getaway, head to the Big Easy to join a lifestyle and swinger couples convention that has been closing down Bourbon Street for more than 10 years. Start the celebration at the kickoff parade (the world’s only swinger parade), then have fun at the four themed events; a pajama parade, a sailor and sinners party, a glitz and glamor night, and a Mardi Gras masquerade ball.
