LOVING LOS ANGELES
There are many ways to fall in love in and with the city, writes The Bachelor's Dominic Bowden.
n the almost 10 years I have lived in Los Angeles, I’ve come to regard it as one of the most romantic cities in the world. I know that may sound crazy but to me romance is all about diversity and LA has it all. From beach retreats on some of the most impressive coast in the world to mountain retreats in the Hollywood Hills; from the urban gardens of Downtown to private sunset flights over the city; the incredible spas of Beverly Hills to some of the most famous late-night clubs on the planet . . . if you can’t find something in Los Angeles to set the romantic mood, you’re in trouble.
Here are just some of my picks for falling in love in and around the City of Angels.
Beaches
“Loves long walks on the beach” has become a romantic cliche but for any couple visiting LA looking to find a spark, there is no better place to start. With nearly 130km of coastline, beaches are certainly one of the city’s top attractions. Each beach has its own appeal but my favourite way to experience them is with a drive along the Pacific Coast Highway through Malibu to Broad Beach Rd. It’s private so you have to tread carefully but it’s also home to celebs such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Cindy Crawford, so more than enough reason for you to visit and have a sunset picinic.
