When you are looking for a romantic getaway with that special person, the setting for seduction has to be just right. Online boutique travel brand Mr & Mrs Smith (www.mrandmrssmith.com) selects 10 boutique hotels with seductive settings in some of the world's most gorgeous locations.

Coastal cool: Saffire, Freycinet Peninsula, Australia

Hugging Tasmania's pure eastern shores, boutique hotel Saffire on the Freycinet Peninsula is a natural gem, with beach views from its 20 sleek suites and a spa. At first sight it resembles a shiny UFO, but this stingray-shaped sanctuary embraces the curving Coles Bay coastline, encouraging you to be at one with nature. Chef Hugh Whitehouse presides over Palate, Saffire's top-notch contemporary restaurant where tasting menus of local seafood are a specialty, alongside quality regional produce. Activities include visits to vineyards and a marine oyster farm, trekking and island-hopping.
