SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) - Couples looking for time away together have a list of 10 of the world's most romantic destinations from Life Books.

This list was published in Life's "Dream Destinations: 100 of the World's Best Vacations" and is not endorsed by Reuters.

1. Wild Flower Hall, India

At an altitude of 8,250 feet, Wildflower Hall is a 45-minute drive through forested hills from Shimla. The spa resort is a serene getaway that was once the estate of Lord Kitchener.

2. The Camargue, France

In the delta of the Rhone river, Mediterranean beaches glow white along a warm sea, medieval walled cities, cathedrals and dreamy pink flamingos. See the famous white ponies of Camargue.

3. Kyoto, Japan

With its 2,000 Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines, and palaces, gardens and architecture intact, it is one of the best preserved cities in Japan. A boat tour into the Hozu river through a wooded valley or a trip on the aptly named Sagano Romantic Train is a delight.
