All-Inclusive Packages

All-inclusive vacation packages are perfect for a Valentine’s Day getaway, because you don’t have to worry about anything. Meals, drinks and activities are all included — although some resorts may have premium activities that come at an additional charge. But if you want to just relax and not worry about where to eat and what to do, consider an all-inclusive vacation.

There are few all-inclusive resorts in the U.S., but they’re popular in Mexico and the Caribbean. These resorts typically include meals, drinks, entertainment and activities, as well as transfers to and from the airport. Airfare is not included in the price, but some resorts will arrange your air travel for you.

For $2,520, you can spend three nights at the Club Med Cancun Yucatan.

You’ll get a superior room with a ocean view, plus:

  • breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner each day

  • open bar and snacks all day

  • sports and activities

  • entertainment

Romantic European Cities

February is not tourist season in most of Europe, so there are some bargains to be found.

Finland may not be the first place that comes to mind when you’re thinking about a romantic getaway, but Hotel Haven in Helsinki might change your mind. Hotel Haven offers a Fall in Love package starting at 304 euro per night. You and your love will enjoy a bottle of champagne, handmade chocolates, a bubble bath and breakfast in your room.

No city is better known for romance than Paris. Vacation packages can be hard to find in Paris unless you plan far in advance, but there are plenty of things to do that will make your do-it-yourself Parisian getaway extra special. A dinner cruise down the Seine for just $126 per person will provide three hours of memories. And of course, no trip to Paris is complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower. Get tickets to go up to the top for 36,10 euro each or you can book a tour for $56 per person. Or, you can splurge at one of the iconic restaurants like the Jules Verne or Le58.

U.S. Valentine’s Day Destinations

You don’t have to leave the U.S. to find a romantic Valentine’s Day getaway. Here are some cities to consider.

If you want to stay stateside, New Orleans is a romantic U.S. city that has plenty going on for Valentine’s Day. The city even has recommendations for celebrating Galentine’s Day, if a trip with the girls is what you’re looking for. Choose a luxury hotel like The French Quarter Lanaux Mansion or a boutique hotel like The Chole Hotel. Bruch at Broussard’s Restaurant, shopping on Magazine Street and a leisurely dinner at Vyoone’s will make for a perfect day.

New York City has so much to do for Valentine’s Day that your biggest problem may be fitting it all in. You can get a couple’s massage at The Couple Spa for $140, including a glass of wine each. A dinner cruise lets you combine sightseeing with dinner, with tickets starting at $129 per person. If a Broadway show is on your bucket list, try TKTS in Times Square for same-day tickets at discounted prices or play Broadway Roulette — tickets are just $49 to $59 each, but you don’t find out what show you’re seeing until the day before.

Whether you opt for relaxing on a beach, sightseeing in Europe, exploring a new city or just dining at your favorite date night spot in your own town, celebrating with that special someone will make it romantic.
