Traveling for Love: Five Great Valentine's Day Vacation Getaways

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it’s no surprise that February is a month filled with romance and amore. As such, February is a popular time for couples to plan trips to various romantic destinations. But are all romantic getaways created equal? Harper’s Bazaar magazine proposes the notion that there’s a top echelon of romantic getaway locations. Here we highlight just a few of the findings from that article which is entitled The Top Romantic Getaways Around the World. The picks chosen from that article, for this blog, represent an attempt to find something for everyone regardless of tastes and preferences.

Cayman Islands

If you and your partner crave the sights, sounds and scents of a tropical Caribbean atmosphere combined with high-end dining and world-class shopping, then this is a great Valentine’s destination. The top-notch resorts are second to none. Romance is in the air for this, the most wealthy island in the Caribbean. 

New Orleans

Is something within the continental United States more your style? Check out New Orleans, Louisiana, a place so laid back that it’s been nicknamed “The Big Easy”. This classically charming city is ideal for couples who want to escape the frantic rush of life. Plus, the Cajun and Creole influences of the area will help create a truly unique experience.

Yoron Island, Japan

If you and your significant other are really looking to get away from it all while still having a luxurious time, look no further than Yoron Island. This island is accessible by ferry which runs only once a day and Yurigahama Beach only appears during low tide. It’s a secret place worth exploring, especially for couples looking for new experiences. 

Languedoc-Roussillon, France

When you think of romance, do you picture Chateaus, wine, and castles? If so, then this is the getaway for you. As France’s most underrated wine region, you’ll have plenty of room to move about, sip some award-winning wine and soak in the local culture. You can even book your own castle if that’s your desire.

Iceland

How about a view of the northern lights while surrounded by active volcanoes and glaciers. You’ll feel as if you and your partner are the only two people on the planet while on this secluded getaway. 

Of course all of these excursions come at a price. There are travel costs, hotel reservations, resort packages – the list goes on. At the end of the day, the price tag can be substantial. So what happens if you have to cancel at the last minute? Maybe you become seriously ill just one day prior to departure. Perhaps a natural disaster strikes, preventing you from going on your trip. How can you recoup your financial commitment if this happens?
