Top 10 Destinations For An Unforgettable Valentine's Day Getaway 2023

Don't know what to do on Valentines Day? We've got you covered! Here you'll find the 10 best romantic destinations for Valentines Day. All you need to do is pick your favorite destination, and enjoy your trip.

Best Valentines Destination

Wondering what you and your hubby should do for valentines day? Maybe have a nice dinner at some fancy restaurant, cloud gaze at your local park, or watch the new blockbuster movie you've been waiting for?

What if I told you that you can create an unforgettable valentine's day by doing one simple thing. A change of scenery, i.e., travel.

And no, I'm not suggesting a trip to France or Italy (if you can, why not!). Merely, a short trip within the US!

Take it from me. My husband and I have been married for 12 years, and I can perfectly recall each and every valentine's day!

Well, we make each valentine's day special.

Long ago, we decided to do all the standard "valentines activities" elsewhere. Call it a valentine's day bucket list, if you will.

The deal was to choose one destination each year and travel there for a few days. Now I know this might sound like a tiresome process, but you'll be surprised how romantic and intimate planning a trip can be.

To help you decide on your next romantic destination, I've compiled a list of the 10 best destinations you should consider when planning your next valentine's day. So whether you're into hiking, dining, or cuddling in front of a cozy fireplace, I promise you'll find a destination that is sure to make the 14th of February memorable!

New Orleans is a city sure to exceed your expectations! Here you'll find everything from delicious foods, hilarious comedy, electrifying nightlife and of course, some incredible music clubs.

Have you ever been to a piano bar? No. Well, here's your chance.

The reality is, no matter what romantic outing you're looking for, New Orleans has you covered. I personally recommend visiting one of the many jazz clubs scattered around Bourbons street! Just be prepared to miss out on some sleep.

What happens in Vegas… Yeah, no, I'm not saying it!

Anyway, it wouldn't be a list of romantic destinations if I didn't include Las Vegas! The possibilities are virtually endless.

You see, casinos and bars aren't the only attractions the city offers. From helicopter night flights to exciting live shows, here you'll find a list of activities you and your hubby can enjoy.

In fact, one time, my husband and I booked a joy ride in an exotic supercar (yes, you can do that in Vegas). It was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life.

What is more, most resorts offer some sort of Valentine's special. Surprise your loved one with a romantic hotel room decorated with some flowers to get the ball rolling.

If you're a winter lover (like me), Breckenridge is a must!

With its Victorian-era charm and cheerful atmosphere, you're sure to create some unique Valentine's memories. Besides the countless cuddling opportunities, Breckenridge offers the ultimate skiing adventure as well as an awe-inspiring view of the stars above.

Imagine yourself having a snowball fight with your loved one before enjoying a cup of hot chocolate in front of a crackling fireplace. Sounds perfect!

Number 4 on my list is very special to me. My husband once surprised me with a remote valentines day outing to Shenandoah National Park. Even though the park itself is beyond beautiful. The memories made are unforgettable.

As I mentioned, I'm a winter lover. My husband knows this. On February 14th, 2018, he booked us a cabin within Shenandoah National Park.

Our valentines weekend mainly consisted of hot chocolate, meaningful conversations, roasting marshmallows, and short romantic walks throughout the park. And honestly, I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

Even though plenty of other activities are available, the relaxed and remote atmosphere was more than enough to make our valentine's day special! It just shows that you don't need to go overboard when planning a romantic getaway for valentines day.

Forget about picnics in your backyard! How about a romantic picnic on a mountain.

Picnic, not your thing? Well, some of the top things Blue Ridge has to offer to include horseback riding, a scenic railway, and even a self-guided waterfall experience.

Blue Ridge is the perfect destination for couples looking for a relaxing yet eventful valentine's day. So book yourself a luxury cabin and marvel at the sun setting on the horizon.
