What’s not to love about falling in love? Behavioral scientists at the University of Utah were curious about the benefits of falling in love that extend far beyond the euphoric feeling that takes over mind and body when Cupid strikes. Their investigation proves that not only do people who fall hard float through days enveloped in a blissful cloud, but they experience the following physiological changes that you will find revealing:
- Injuries, wounds, and physical ailments heal faster because being in love lowers stress hormones.
- People who are head over heels feel less pain, perhaps due to extra hugs before a dental appointment!
- Blood pressure drops are common when a love affair blazes, and immune systems are bolstered, too.
- Being in love gives the heart a boost of good health (in more ways than one). No wonder falling in love is such an amazing experience!
Does it get any better? You bet!
Having reaped all of those health benefits listed above, you’ll probably be on the search for a romantic destination to spend time with your love away from the stressors of home. You crave a place that’s picture-perfect – one that’s easy to reach. Find it at Victoria House Resort & Spa in Belize, a small, lush resort designed for romance.

Ambergris Caye is known for being the most happening island in the chain of cayes that dot Belize’s shoreline. Leaving your base at Victoria House Resort & Spa will offer you both a chance to wander the exciting town of San Pedro where couples enjoy all the fun aspects of this travel hot spot. The party scene has no equal. Plus, you can shop, browse galleries, and stop in at a fabulous array of pubs, cafes, and eateries before returning to your nest.

The contrast between the vibe at Victoria House and that of the vibrant San Pedro scene is dramatic, so you’ll get a chance to learn more about each other as you transition from the quiet and peace of resort grounds to the pulse of San Pedro.
Having made up an ambitious list of things to see, do, and experience during your sojourn, you would be remiss if you took a pass on the wellness opportunities guests find onsite at the resort. That includes relaxing massages and treatments. This award-winning haven of relaxation also offers fitness and yoga facilities. The couples massage is especially enticing, and you can always order in-room spa services.
If falling in love means looking toward the future…
…one of the best ways to prepare for the dreams and ambitions you may have for your relationship is to show off your practical side. That can mean finding reasonable airfares to Belize during the low season and taking advantage of Victoria House’s current summer special where you can show off your money-saving talents.
