The most romantic Valentine’s Day hotel packages around the world

Nothing can rekindle romance quite like travel. No matter your love language, quality time together — especially in a new destination — simply makes people feel closer. While flutes of Champagne and candlelit dinners are all well and good, embarking on an escape built around a shared passion is even better and can create a deeper connection whether you’ve been together for four months or 40 years.

Every year, hundreds of hotels around the world offer romantic, immersive experiences and packages that will make connecting with your partner memorable and meaningful. You just need to pick the one that’s right for you. To help you decide, we’ve gone through hundreds of offerings and picked our favorites, including a package featuring overwater bungalows in Bora Bora, a getaway to Napa, California, made for oenophiles and a stargazing experience in Scottsdale, Arizona.

And if Valentine’s Day means something different to you — maybe you’d prefer to spend it with your sibling, parent or close friend — many of these experiences will deepen that bond, too.

Here are our top picks for the best Valentine’s Day hotel packages to book in 2025. 

For the stargazers: JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa 

Spread across 125 acres of peaceful Sonoran Desert, the JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn offers little light pollution and plenty of opportunities for romantic stargazing even though it’s just 5 miles from the Scottsdale Arts District. Couples can spot constellations while going on a night hike through the resort’s desert trails or simply take in the starry canopy while sipping a spicy margarita outdoors at Rita’s Cantina & Bar. The historic resort’s adobe-style architecture (the lobby still showcases the original brick adobe walls handmade on the property in the 1930s), desert-inspired design and serene swimming pools set the tone for a sultry stay. 

For Valentine’s Day, the resort is offering the Celestial Retreat: A Stargazer’s Paradise Package with accommodations in a private, luxury sundeck casita. Those who book get a welcome basket filled with celestial-themed treats and a $100 resort credit. In-room amenities like a movie night with a charcuterie board, rose petal turndown service and chocolate-covered strawberries with fine wine will complete the romantic escape. It’s no wonder this is the Marriott family’s favorite hotel. 

Rates at the JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa start at $887 or 76,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night. Add on the Celestial Retreat package for $99.

For sea life enthusiasts: The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa

At The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa, couples can experience the calming effects of sparkling cyan waters from an overwater bungalow with a private plunge pool (the Westin has the largest collection of overwater bungalows in Bora Bora) and can also learn about the beautiful but fragile ecosystem surrounding the resort. 

In February, the resort’s Ultimate Bora Bora Romance getaway package includes a minimum five-night stay and plenty of opportunities to learn about the landscape and local culture. On a private boat tour that includes lunch on a secluded islet, guests can spot sea turtles and other wildlife. Curious couples will learn about the center’s efforts to protect Bora Bora’s underwater habitat and participate in activities like sea turtle feedings during a guided marine biology session at the Westin’s Eco Center.

Other package inclusions — like a hands-on mixology class, a wellness session for two inspired by Polynesian traditions and breakfast delivered by va’a, a Polynesian outrigger canoe — are less rigorous but still fun.

Rates at The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa start at $991 or 63,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night. The Ultimate Bora Bora Romance package starts at $11,500 for two guests. It cannot be redeemed using points.

For powder chasers: Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort and Spa

While beach vacations are always appealing in winter, some might argue a mountain getaway where couples can sit by a roaring fire or snuggle up in a snow globe-like suite is even more romantic. In Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, the ski-in, ski-out Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort and Spa offers easy access to world-class skiing, a village with cobblestone streets, an ice skating rink and plenty of romantic Valentine’s Day experiences.

This February, hotel staff can arrange private apres-ski experiences like chef-prepared charcuterie boards, nightcaps with cozy blankets and a s’mores kit for two. The resort concierge can also recommend and arrange romantic off-property adventures like a moonlit snowshoe hike through the forest or a horse-drawn sleigh ride across snowy meadows.

After alpine escapades, nothing is more inviting than soaking in the heated outdoor swimming pool or hot tub with your sweetheart. The resort’s Exhale Spa has Roman baths that promote wellness through a series of soaks, steams and saunas. 

Rates at the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort and Spa start at $1,118 or 45,000 World of Hyatt points per night.

For nature lovers: Tropicana Los Cabos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Some couples express love with gifts; for others, a thrilling experience in nature brings them closer. With Valentine’s Day landing on a Friday, adventurous couples can decamp to the new hacienda-style Tropicana Los Cabos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton in San Jose del Cabo, a Mexican resort city known for colonial architecture and a missionary church, for a long weekend that includes a whale watching adventure with a local tour operator, intimate dinners and other activities. The Nature Escape Package includes a three-night stay for two, round-trip airport transfers and daily breakfast at El Patio Restaurant surrounded by tropical gardens that are a haven for local birds.

While on the catamaran expedition, couples can explore the Bay of Cabo San Lucas with its photographic arch, lounge on the golden sands of Lovers Beach and watch the majestic humpback whales that frequent the Sea of Cortez. There will be much to discuss at a four-course dinner on both Feb. 14 and 15 with live music and a canopy of stars overhead.

Duos can add on other activities like a yoga session, a guided tasting of Baja wines and a couples massage with sparkling wine and chocolate-covered strawberries to enhance their time together.

Tropicana Los Cabos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton rates start at $209 or 50,000 Hilton Honors points per night. The Nature Escape Package is available for $1,922, and the booking window closes March 29 for stays between Jan. 5 and March 31. 

For avid readers: Hotel Du Pont 

Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald would have felt right at home at Wilmington, Delaware’s Hotel Du Pont, which exudes 1920s glamour with its Renaissance architecture and grand staircase. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of “The Great Gatsby,” the hotel is offering an opulent Valentine’s Day weekend celebration. The Gilded Romance Escape package includes a two-night stay in a suite, a wellness treatment for two at Currie Day Spa and a 1920s-inspired cocktail-making kit paired with Imperia Caviar. 

Couples can also indulge in a four-course private dinner and a driving tour of the historic Brandywine Valley and Longwood Gardens, a public garden with acres of woodlands and meadows. There’s no need to buy presents for your partner. The package includes a Waterford decanter and tumbler set, a Cartier Love necklace and a Santos de Cartier watch. (Surely your love story will have a happier ending than Jay Gatsby’s and Daisy Buchanan’s.) 

This two-night, three-day package at Hotel Du Pont costs $21,000. Booking is available now until the end of February for trips scheduled between Feb. 1 and 28. 

For live music lovers: Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi

The Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi, accessible by yacht or seaplane, prides itself on offering memorable events and entertainment. With its 119 beach, reef and overwater villas featuring private pools — some of the most private and luxurious in the Maldives — this is certainly one of the world’s most romantic destinations.

For Valentine’s Day, guests can book an add-on that includes an intimate dinner and concert. On Feb. 14, the evening begins with an Australian-style barbecue dinner on the white sand beach, and each couple will receive a bottle of sparkling wine and a bouquet of fresh flowers. Then, singer Chris de Burgh, known for “The Lady in Red” and “Missing You,” will perform after the sun sets on the beach as couples swoon at candlelit tables.

Guests can book the Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi‘s Valentine’s Day package, which includes the exclusive dinner experience, with a minimum three-night stay between Feb. 12 and 17 for $3,000 per night. It is not bookable with Hilton Honors points. 

For arts and culture: Almanac Palais Vienna 

Paris is synonymous with romance, but for art and culture lovers looking for a slightly less crowded but equally romantic European destination, Vienna is the answer (and was featured on our list of Where to Go in 2025). The Austrian capital is replete with grand architecture, elegant parks and a deep reverence for the arts. This year, Vienna is celebrating the 200th anniversary of classical composer Johann Strauss, known for his waltzes and operettas.

Opened in late 2023, the beautiful 111-key Almanac Palais Vienna will connect guests with the culture and social fabric of Vienna for Valentine’s Day through its Night at the Ball package. Available through February, when Viennese ball season is in full swing, the experience includes a private dance class, a gown from Juergen Christian Hoerl atelier, in-suite makeup services and a photo shoot. The highlight is, no doubt, hopping in a horse-drawn carriage like Cinderella and Prince Charming, dressed to the nines, and being whisked to a ball.  

Rates for the Almanac Palais Vienna‘s Night at the Ball package start at $4,153.

For fashionistas: Hotel 1000, LXR Hotels & Resorts

For some, perfecting style through retail therapy is the ultimate activity for duos. Seattle’s Hotel 1000, LXR Hotels & Resorts, an urban resort with contemporary city-view rooms, is offering a package that will help couples perfect their style this February.

As part of the Nordstrom Shop & Stay package, guests enjoy breakfast for two, a $500 Nordstrom gift card and a personalized styling appointment in a VIP styling suite at the multistory flagship Nordstrom in downtown Seattle. 

After perfecting your style, you can return to your urban refuge for an evening of indulgence and relaxation. The Spa at Hotel 1000 offers a rose oil couples massage alongside healing light therapy add-ons that can be incorporated into any facial, massage or body treatment. If you prefer to stay in your room, though, the Romance & Rejuvenation Luxury Bath Experience includes a rose petal-scented bubble bath drawn by your personal bath butler. The luxury bath experience also includes a rose bouquet from Pike Place Market. 

Rates for Hotel 1000, LXR Hotels & Resorts‘ Nordstrom Shop & Stay package start at $648 or 67,000 Hilton Honors points per night for a two-night stay. The rose oil couples massage add-on is $375. The Romance & Rejuvenation Luxury Bath is $250 per person and must be booked 48 hours in advance.  

For oenophiles: Carneros Resort and Spa

Couples who share a passion for wine know that a cheeky tasting can be a great way to bond with your partner as you talk about the hints of blackberry in a silky Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon or the undertones of stonefruit in an earthy sauvignon blanc. The serene and secluded Carneros Resort and Spa in Napa is hosting Perfect Pairings ($55 per tasting flight) during Valentine’s Day in its on-property wine-tasting room called Post. Available to book from Feb. 7 through 23, guests can sample single-barrel tequilas, whiskeys and wines like Etude pinot gris and Emmolo merlot paired with decadent chocolates.

If you book the resort’s Love Is In The Air package, a $50 credit for Post and a $100 resort credit will be included in your rate, as well as a two-night stay in a luxury cottage and a welcome bottle of sparkling wine. 

The Love Is In the Air package at Carneros Resort and Spa starts at $1,030 per night and requires a minimum two-night stay. 

For advocates of equal rights: InterContinental Phuket Resort

Same-sex marriage officially became legal in Thailand on Jan. 23 after many years of legislative hurdles. The InterContinental Phuket Resort on Kamala Beach is celebrating fittingly for Valentine’s Day with a Love is Love package.

The romantic package includes round-trip airport transfers in a resort limo, accommodations with a balcony and a freestanding tub, and an hourlong couples massage at the Sati Spa. Package guests will also receive two pride welcome bags from the nonprofit Ramathibodi Foundation, daily breakfast for two and welcome treats.
