Victoria Falls HotelAs one of the top romantic destinations in the world, Victoria Falls National Park owes its distinguished reputation to an assortment of factors, including its surrounding wilderness and palpable energy. But what’s most captivating about this National Park is its main attraction, Victoria Falls. More than twice the size of Niagra Falls, Victoria Falls has been classified as one of the seven natural wonders of the world and is the largest waterfall on earth.

Nestled within the heart of Victoria Falls National Park is arguably the most romantic accommodation in the area, if not all of Zimbabwe, The Victoria Falls Hotel—a highly distinguished and hospitable retreat. Here, not only are guests’ highest expectations and desires met, but guests also experience a one-of-a-kind natural energy that is so strong that it often remains with them for their lifetime.

Victoria Falls HotelAlthough there is an absolute and indescribable sense of romance and elegance at The Victoria Falls Hotel, it is hard to pinpoint one specific feature responsible for this world-class estate’s romantic essence.

Below are a few reasons why The Victoria Falls Hotel is characterized as one of the world’s top romantic destinations:

Old-world charm and contemporary luxuries: Founded more than a century ago, The Victoria Falls Hotel has a spectacular history, which is relived each day through the estate’s luxurious Edwardian décor and colonial inspired rooms.

Refurbished and equipped with contemporary facilities so that guests can experience the luxury of 19th century décor and the convenience of modern amenities, The Victoria Falls Hotel features everything necessary for a luxurious romantic getaway. From the sprawling manicured grounds, to the extremely hospitable staff, and the Edwardian-style rooms, to the fine dining rooms and outdoor seating, this elegant estate is the epitome of opulence and romance.

Victoria Falls HotelCharacterized as a world-class estate that exudes nothing but grace and elegance, The Victoria Falls Hotel has been a popular host for celebrity and royalty events, and has accommodated visiting presidents, prime ministers, movie stars, and other celebrities since its opening in 1904. Today, guests of The Victoria Falls Hotel can sense the essence of past, world-renowned orchestras, choirs, flapper and cocktail parties, and entertainment events that have occurred in this regal establishment over the last 100 years.

Sheer natural energy: As one of the only hotels in the reserve to have an awe-inspiring view of the rumbling falls, The Victoria Falls Hotel is by far the best place to stay in the region. Neighboring the Zambezi River, the Chobe River, Hwange National Park, and other renowned reserves and captivating topography, Victoria Falls offers more than simply what is inside its borders.

Aside from the riveting falls, the Victoria Falls National Park is full of enchanting creatures, which include the infamous Big Five, monkeys, and other rainforest-dwelling creatures. Surrounding the area is the Zambezi River, a flourishing haven for a variety of bird, reptile, mammal, and aquatic species.

For those who seek out relaxing destinations, Victoria Falls is perfect for soaking in the peaceful and quaint details of life and nature. With acres upon acres of lush treetops, peaceful rivers, and endless plains, Victoria Falls is the ultimate destination for romance and rejuvenation. From sunset cruises on the Zambezi to lavish dining, and game-viewing by canoe to afternoon tea on the estate grounds, relaxation is copious at The Victoria Falls Hotel.

And, as southern Africa’s primary adventure hub, Victoria Falls also offers visitors the opportunity to experience sheer adventure amongst a riveting backdrop of thriving wilderness. One of the most rewarding adventures is the Flight of Angels. Enjoy a private tour above the rapid falls on a quaint, four-seat airplane as you fly through the rising mist, and observe the falls and its resident wildlife from a bird’s-eye view.
