After 25 years of writing about romantic getaways, I’ve seen just how magical the right place can make Valentine’s Day. And honestly, I’m so proud of this list—our team poured heart and soul into curating it. If you’re looking to surprise someone (or treat yourself and a partner), these Valentine's Day vacations are all about romance, comfort, and memory-making moments. I’ve experienced a few of these myself, and I think you’ll find something here that speaks to your love story.
Highlights:
- I’ve spent cozy nights in mountain cabins with a crackling fireplace and a private hot tub—if you want quiet intimacy, this is a perfect choice.
- You might love a romantic city escape. I’ve checked into spa suites after candlelit dinners in places that made me feel like I was in a movie.
- If you’re drawn to the ocean like I am, imagine staying at a secluded beachfront resort, holding hands while the sun dips into the water. You’ll never forget it.
- Couples’ wine tours? Yes, please. I once wandered a vineyard in the countryside with a glass in hand and my favorite person beside me—it doesn’t get better than that.
- And don’t overlook luxury hotels with Valentine’s Day perks. I’ve enjoyed surprise chocolates, rose petal turndowns, and spa credits that made the whole experience extra indulgent. You should too.
