Besides spring, love is in the air for Channing Tatum. With a new girlfriend in tow, Tatum is pulling out all stops to show that courtship (and chivalry) are alive and well. These are the spots to vacation like Tatum this spring.
Greece
Where to stay: The Mandarin Oriental Costa Navarino
Greece is one of Tatum’s go-to destinations, and really, who can blame him? He was spotted island-hopping around Mykonos with his current girlfriend, Zoë Kravitz, making the rest of us feel like we need to up our romantic getaway game. Greece has it all — the ancient history of Athens, the white-and-blue villages of Santorini, the nightlife of Mykonos, and of course — the food (that’s everywhere). The fresh seafood, feta-laden Greek salads, and juicy gyros will demand a second helping, regardless of whether you’re on the mainland or any of the islands. And don’t forget tzatziki with everything. The best time to visit is in the late spring or early fall, when the crowds are a little dialed-down, but the sun is still working its magic.
Italy
Where to stay: Four Seasons Florence
Italy is another no-brainer for Tatum and Kravitz. And let’s be honest, we love indulging in pasta, wine, and Renaissance art with our significant other too. Tatum and Kravitz were living the ultimate Italian fantasy — strolling through the romantic streets of Venice. And as is romantic-Venice-classic, you can also opt for the famously romantic Gondola rides. Or, see the rest of Italy, and satiate the history aficionado in you by exploring Rome’s Colosseum and Florence’s Renaissance masterpieces. If you are someone with a deep affection for carbs, take a pizza pilgrimage through Naples. They have the best carbonara in Italy. The best time to visit is in the spring or fall, to avoid the tourist stampede and actually enjoy your gelato in peace.
Hawaii
Where to stay: The Ritz-Carlton Maui
Channing was previously seen vacationing in Hawaii with his ex-wife, Jenna Dewan, back when they were one of Hollywood’s golden couples. With its endless beaches and laid back vibes, Hawaii is a natural fit for him. Other than being an ideal destination for romance, Hawaii is all about outdoor adventures. The bucket list experiences include surfing on Oahu’s north shore, road tripping through Maui and Road to Hana, and exploring Big Island’s volcanoes. As for food, nothing beats the fresh poke bowls and loco moco. And of course, shaved ice, because no trip to Hawaii is complete without one. Our suggestion to visit Hawaii would be from April to May or September to October (during the peak summer, half the planet has the same idea about going to Hawaii).
Mexico
Where to stay: Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal
Mexico was one of Tatum and Dewan’s favorite destinations. And for good reason, too. Sometimes you just need tacos, margaritas, and an ocean view to pump up the romance quotient. But that’s not all, Mexico caters to beach bums, history buffs, and tequila aficionados alike. You can choose lizarding on Cancun’s beaches or hiking the ancient ruins of Chichen Itza. Tulum is where you’ll find boho-chic vibes and Mayan ruins. And if you’re into snorkeling, Mexico’s cenotes (underground freshwater caves) is something you wouldn’t want to miss. The food scene ranges from street tacos to high end dining. December through April is the sweet spot for a visit, if you want perfect weather and no hurricane drama.
Salem
Where to stay: The Coach House
As romantic as Channing Tatum is, he’s an equally doting father. Tatum was in Salem to introduce his daughter to the town’s rich and eerie history. The father-daughter duo were spotted wandering the historic streets and embracing the Halloween spirit. If you’re a traveller who appreciates a little theatrics in your vacation, Salem can be your wildcard pick. You can explore the Salem Witch Museum, the Witch House, and all things Halloween related. Outside of the haunted happenings, Salem also offers fantastic seafood; from classic clam chowder to buttery lobster rolls. October is hands down the best time to go, but if you want a quieter experience, late spring and summer offer a more relaxed (and less ghostly) vibe.
