Title says it all...
Looking to plan a trip for my wife's 40th. She wants to be active (hiking, etc), good spa and good dinners. Late September-early November travel.
Any ideas are appreciated! Thanks
Since you didn't mention a budget, I'll give you a few:
Italy is great in Sept/Oct time frame. The Cinque Terre regino is great, you can hike the trail thru the vineyards from any of the towns. We started in Vernazza, finished at the last town, ferried back to home base. Easy train ride to Florence if you want more places to visit & walk. It's Italy, can't beat the food.
We did Belize for the 1st half of our 30th anniversary celebration, stayed in NAIA resort, awesome. Placencia area, but inland places have hiking, rafting, etc. We did the all inclusive at NAIA, great food every nite. Great excursion offerings as well.
Costa Rica has some great places as well. We had a family vacation there (6) & did the 1st half in Arenal area(volcano region) & 2nd half on beach(Tamarindo).
Amelia Island FL has a 5* Ritz, great food, plenty of walking space, great spa.
Happy 40th to your wife & enjoy wherever you go!
