Creating the Perfect Bachelorette-inspired “Fantasy Suite”

The recipe to finding love is simple – you need one eligible bachelor/bachelorette, 25 hopeful potential mates, a sexy backdrop and a hit romantic reality TV series. Simple, right?!

Well, that’s the general idea behind The Bachelor and The Bachelorette series – now going on 13 years.

Side note: The newest season of The Bachelorette premiers Monday, May 18 and for the first time in the history of the show, there will be two bachelorettes. But, that’s not all! It will be up to the 25 contestants to choose if Britt Nilsson or Canadian beauty, Kaitlyn Bristowe will continue on the season.

Any fan of the show will tell you, it’s the final rose and that one last “magical date” in the fantasy suite that holds all the marbles.

Thanks to Booking.com, here’s a look back at some of the previous most romantic fantasy suites and destinations that sparked love. Maybe a perfect place to say your “I dos” or to give you a bit of inspiration for creating the ultimate “fantasy bedroom” in your home:

In season 10 of the bachelorette Andi Dorfman found love at the luxury all-inclusive Paradisus Punta Cana Resort, Dominican Republic. In my opinion, nothing says honeymoon-bliss like a clean, white on white palette. I love this boutique hotel-inspired space, and it is easy to re-create at home. With that said, I’m also loving the retro, mid-century modern inspiration of some of their suites as an alternative option for lighthearted lovers.

Boucan by Hotel Chocolat located in St. Lucia’s rainforest (1,000 feet above sea level) was the romantic backdrop for bachelor Juan Pablo. Just as important as the bedroom plays in a great escape, creating the perfect bathroom/spa oasis is also a must for igniting passion. Picture it as the ultimate private retreat for two. Also, with chocolate in the name, it’s got to be lavish – right?!

And last, but not least season nine bachelorette Desiree Hartsock finds her perfect someone at Galley Bay Resort & Spa in Antigua – some say the romance capital of the Caribbean. When considering a romantic space, it’s also a great idea to make your lover’s paradise a space that reflects your personalities. Here, the bright and airy colour palette and touches of fire orange and sunshine yellow scream “flirty and fun in the Caribbean.”

I'm Lisa, a real born and bred Torontonian in every sense of the word. I'm a PR practitioner by day with a fabulous client list, at a very cool boutique firm in the core with a view of the city that can make anyone want to move here. I have a mild to moderate hat obsession, and you’ll usually find me searching the city for the next big chef, and rarely without a fashion or décor magazine in my purse. Before PR, I was a travel writer/editor/photographer, and spent most of my time travelling the world and bringing my stories back here. The rest of the time I spent indulging in the city's untapped culinary scene as Post City Magazine's main restaurant photographer. But, no matter where I am in the world, nothing beats coming home. That's why I've spent the last few years planting my roots here, moving from Toronto’s uber-chic west side to the heart of Greek Town in a modern Victorian semi (a.ka. my lifelong décor project), with my husband and super-stylish son. Yes, I'm one of those moms, the one who won't give up her sense of style post-baby bump; and why should I?! I aspire to have my cake and eat it too - I am Italian after all. And, now why my 2-year-old in tow, I can bring him along for the ride.
