4 Romantic Getaways in NEWFOUNDLAND Canada
Newfoundland is still on my travel bucket list. The land of vikings, icebergs and the indistinguishable English accent. And absolutely gorgeous coastal cliffs, thick woods and awesome rock formations of the Canadian shield. Perfect romantic getaways in Canada for couples who love to explore the outdoors.
When I go, I want to explore the Baie Verte Peninsula and see as many icebergs as I can. The Baie Verte Peninsula is on the far west of Newfoundland, home to the absolutely stunning Gros Morne National Park (think: cliffs and waterfalls!). And L’Anse au Meadow in the far north, where the Vikings landed. Of course the peninsula is opposite the capital of St. John’s, so it’s quite remote and untouristy. But, if you stick to the north side, you can also get in those iceberg sightings.
And I’m very happy to tell you that there are beautiful places to stay in Newfoundland! The places below come very highly recommended by guests and will make for some amazing romantic getaways in Canada.
