Why Lake Havasu?
Lake Havasu, nestled in the picturesque desert landscape of Arizona, offers the perfect backdrop for a romantic getaway. Here’s why it’s the ideal destination for a surprise vacation with your partner:
- Scenic Beauty: Lake Havasu’s stunning natural beauty, with its crystal-clear waters, sandy beaches, and majestic desert scenery, sets the stage for unforgettable outdoor adventures.
- Outdoor Adventure: Spend your days exploring the lake by boat, paddleboarding along the shoreline, exploring the desert by ATV, or hiking in the nearby mountains, and soak in the breathtaking vistas at every turn.
- Sunset Cruises: Treat your partner to a romantic sunset cruise on Lake Havasu, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the sunset painting the sky in vibrant hues of orange and pink. If a cruise isn’t your speed, there are also plenty of places to enjoy waterfront dining on shore.

Planning a Romantic Getaway
Depending on how hard your partner is to surprise, you may have to put a lot of extra effort into this part of the planning. Surprise vacations require careful planning, so choose a time when your partner is likely to be available and can take time off from work or other commitments. If possible, have a friend or even your partner’s boss or coworkers help by planning a decoy event for them to keep the time open.
Plan a creative and memorable way to reveal the surprise to your partner, such as presenting them with a gift box containing clues or a handwritten invitation to the getaway. It’s usually a good idea to reveal the trip with enough time for your partner to pack or do whatever they need to do to feel comfortable heading out. Try to anticipate what they might need taken care of, like lining up childcare and pet sitting, and give them enough heads up to avoid adding any stress.
Pack Thoughtful Details
Pack thoughtful extras to enhance the surprise of your romantic getaway, such as their favorite snacks, a playlist of romantic songs, or a handwritten love letter expressing your feelings. You can even plan to cook a special meal at your vacation home, or bring framed photos of the two of you to decorate and feel even more at home. Don’t forget special touches such as champagne on arrival, rose petals on the bed, or a gift that will always remind them of the trip.
