The 7 Best Getaways for Valentine’s Day in the U.S.

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Like most Americans, you’re likely overworked and could fancy an escape. Instead of buying something for your significant other, this Valentine’s Day, share an experience. A vacation quickie could be the best thing that’s happened to you and your relationship. Check out the 7 best getaways for Valentine’s Day in the U.S.

Aspen, Colorado

Hot chocolate won’t be the only thing keeping you warm if you head to this winter sports city with your lover. After a day of snowboarding or skiing, snuggle up until the mountain isn’t the only thing peaking.

Carmel, California

Privately reenact Beyonce’s “Drunk in Love” lyrics after the “Wine Walk by the Sea.” Opt for a couples massage before building a bonfire on the beach. With a brisk ocean breeze, you can cuddle closer, sparking more than a flame.

New York City, New York

Whether you prefer ice skating in Manhattan or Brooklyn’s street art exhibitions, the Big Apple’s awe-inspiring sights and history make it a must-do. And let’s be honest, the only thing your significant other loves more than you is pizza, and New York has great pizza. V-Day win.

Cape Royal and Angels Window, Grand Canyon

Insert your cheesy pick up line of choice: “Am I dead angel? Because this must be heaven!” or “Did it hurt when you fell out of heaven?” with an invitation to America’s grandest panoramic view. All tacky phrases aside, there’s something invigorating about the Grand Canyon. Together, outsmart corporate reality with a weekend outdoors.

Lovers Key, Florida

Valentine’s Day party of three: you, your significant other, and a sunrise over the sea. With an urge to mock “long walks on the beach,” there’s no shame in loving white sands and a scenic sunrise. It’s V-Day. It’s corny, but it’s special. #NoFilter.

Napa Valley, California

A darling destination, Napa leaves no room for whining (see what I did there). Explore an estate vineyard with spas, hiking, biking, and dining. The heart of your attraction, indulge in Merlot and Cabernet. A cup of red (or more) goes well with any weekend of love.

New Orleans, Louisiana

Rekindle your romance with jazz, arts, and culture in the city of charm. Perfect for an extraverted couple, explore live music, international food, and feel the funk!
