If you’re in the market for a Valentine’s Day gift they won’t return, how about a romantic weekend getaway? You can head to the Southern US or the Caribbean for sunny, beach-friendly weather; to the Northeast or West for prime ski and snowboarding season; or even hit European capitals during one of the most inexpensive times of year to travel there.
Don’t save your vacation just for anniversaries; we give you full permission to celebrate your love whenever you feel like it. Plus, after years of disrupted plans for reasons we, ahem, don’t need to get into, don’t you and your partner deserve some quality alone time somewhere that’s not your living room couch?
The first step is deciding what kind of vacation you’re craving: Do you plan on hunkering down in the sheets all weekend? Are you ready to hit the pavement and explore a new city through its museums and restaurants? Or is your idea of a couples retreat just wiggling your toes in some warm, powder-soft sand? We’ve compiled some of our favorite locations around the world–from inexpensive locales to high-end resorts offering Valentine’s Day specials–all of which are ideal for a quick, couple’s vacation. So pack your best swimsuit (or puffer jacket) and read on to find out which trip is for you…and yours.
Los Angeles
Not every romantic rendezvous needs a cozy fireplace and solitude; sometimes, a bit of urban adventure is the ideal couple’s trip. That’s why we love Los Angeles: Tons of incredible restaurants and museums, plus gorgeous hiking within the city limits, and with generally perfect weather year round. Our favorite place for couples is the Andaz West Hollywood, a beautiful, historic property that was the first hotel built on the famed Sunset Strip. For Valentine’s Day, they’re even offering a special package that includes a private dinner in the hotel’s rooftop cabana, two nights in the dreamy Panorama Suite, and even a meditation session at on-site ARTHA Yoga & Wellness Sanctuary.
