Love Is In The Air: Best Romantic Getaways For Valentine’s Day 2024

Many romantic people wish that Valentine’s Day could be a public holiday, but of course, it is just another working day. You might have kids around the house and no time to be truly romantic together. However, why not take even a brief break from your regular lives to experience a romantic vacation somewhere truly special? The following are five suggestions for a private vacation, with options for every budget.

Go on a romantic safari at the JW Marriott Masai Mara Lodge in Kenya

Imagine waking up in Africa and going on a safari after breakfast at the JW Marriott Masai Mara Lodge in Kenya. This romantic vacation is definitely out of the ordinary. The new resort can be booked with cash or using rewards points from the Marriott Bonvoy program. Here, you can stay in one of the resort’s 20 luxury tent suites, each with its own outdoor Jacuzzi.

Enjoy an all-inclusive experience with breakfast, lunch, high tea and dinner, in between seeing some incredible wildlife – hopefully even the Big Five.

Luxury Valentine’s Day stay at Velaa Private Island in the Maldives

For those with the wherewithal, you can take your romantic partner on a truly beautiful getaway on Velaa Private Island in the Maldives. Here, you can choose from several private residences and beach houses. However, the best for Valentine’s Day would be the Romantic Residence that is only accessible by boat.

This romantic overwater home is away from other guests and features a private Jacuzzi, and outdoor dining gazebo, with a personal chef and butler at your beck and call. Meanwhile, if you get in a socializing mood, the Velaa Private Island offers several fine-dining restaurants and a wine cellar. Moreover, it also offers a luxurious spa.

Book a last-minute cruise to anywhere

While the first two options are clearly expensive, a last-minute cruise could be an affordable and truly romantic option for Valentine’s Day. There is still some time to go, so head to the VacationstoGo.com website to look for the perfect cruise. Many cruise fares drop when booking at the last minute and you will get the opportunity to compare prices on the website and grab the best deal.

You’ll be surprised at what cruises can be booked at the last minute, with options like Royal Caribbean, MSC Cruises, Explora Journeys, Norwegian Cruise Line and more.

Spend Valentine’s Day in the Napa Valley, California

For those wanting to stay on US soil and not head out too far, you can’t do better than a romantic stay in the beautiful Napa Valley in California. Here, many beautiful boutique hotels can be found in quaint communities, naturally serving the area’s fine wines. Meanwhile, Napa Valley offers many restaurants and around 475 wineries to indulge in wine tastings.

For those feeling active, have fun hiking or biking together through the beautiful scenery before heading back to your romantic hotel room.

Have a romantic city break in Charleston, South Carolina

Another worthy romantic staycation is a visit to the beautiful city of Charleston, South Carolina. This city is ideal for couples who love stunning architecture, history and dining out with southern charm. Meanwhile, the city offers fun activities to suit every couple, including ghost tours, visiting historic breweries, art galleries and more. Romantic foodies can enjoy a selection of culinary tours to celebrate Valentine’s Day, or explore the art galleries in the city.

Couples wanting to browse should ensure they visit the Charleston City Market, and while there, book themselves a horse-drawn carriage to take a leisurely tour of the town.
