Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'romantic' (amorous) modifies 'getaway' (a brief trip), so the meaning 'a short trip taken for romantic reasons' is immediately derivable from the constituents. This adjective + noun pattern is a common, transparent construction cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Romantic getaway combines romantic, meaning about love, and getaway, meaning a 'short escape'. It creates the image of a couple 'getting away' from daily life to be alone, so it now means a short trip for two to spend romantic time together.
