Romantic Valentine’s Getaway Ideas<\/h2>\n

Ocean Springs, Mississippi<\/h3>\n

Contributed by Charles McCool<\/em><\/p>\n

Ocean Springs, Mississippi is almost certainly not on your radar as a romantic destination but it should be. It is a hidden gem of the phenomenal Secret Coast of Coastal Mississippi<\/a> and one of my favorite US Gulf Coast destinations. (It’s also on our list of top romantic southern getaways<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Pamper your sweetheart with an overnight (or several) at the award-winning boutique property The Roost<\/a>, a luxurious suite at The Inn at Ocean Springs, or a private cottage at Front Beach Cottages.<\/p>\n

When and if you leave your comfortable room, I suggest strolling the inspiring oak tree-canopied streets, visiting the astounding Walter Anderson Museum, and splurging on an enchanting culinary experience from master chef Alex Perry at Vestige.<\/p>\n

Other romantic dining adventures include creative breakfast biscuits at Greenhouse on Porter, oysters on the waterfront porch at Mikey’s on the Bayou, and the outdoor patio at Maison de Lu. Some lovebirds will choose to stay in their rooms (plush robes optional)\u2014in that case enjoy carryout from Eat Drink Love (in The Roost), amazing Belgian waffles from Bright-Eyed (fronting Inn at Ocean Springs), or make your own treats in your Front Beach kitchen.<\/p>\n

For a magical and memorable romantic Gulf Coast getaway, take time to catch at least one sunset or sunrise. <\/p>\n

New Orleans, Louisiana<\/h3>\n

Contributed by John Paul Swearingen<\/em><\/p>\n

New Orleans, Louisiana<\/a> is known most as a destination to party. What many travelers don\u2019t expect is that New Orleans is an excellent choice for a romantic Valentine\u2019s Day getaway.<\/p>\n

By U.S standards, New Orleans is an old city. The architecture in the French Quarter is perfect for a day of playing tourist and strolling through an area full of history and fun. The Garden District is another beautiful area for romantic walks under centuries-old live oak trees, passing by stately old Southern homes. February is usually cool, sometimes warm, but rarely cold.<\/p>\n

A horse and carriage ride is a classic Valentine’s Day getaway activity!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Most romantic getaways include delicious food, and there are few places in the world with food as good as that in New Orleans. Whether it\u2019s early morning beignets at Cafe du Monde, a New Orleans po’ boy or a fancy meal at one of the city\u2019s famous Louisiana Creole restaurants, there are endless Valentine\u2019s Day eating options.<\/p>\n

One of the most uniquely New Orleans options for a romantic Valentine\u2019s Day is an evening cruise and meal on one of the famous riverboats. Couples can enjoy a nice dinner and an evening floating past the city on the Mississippi River.<\/p>\n

Valentine\u2019s Day occasionally occurs during Mardi Gras. This incredibly busy and crazy time in the Big Easy may not be best for a romantic getaway. Most years, however, New Orleans is a great choice for couples on Valentine\u2019s Day. There\u2019s not much better than a stroll down Magazine Street, sipping a hurricane in the French Quarter or enjoying some of the best food in the world with someone special in New Orleans.<\/p>\n

Consider a stay at the romantic Roosevelt New Orleans<\/a> – they’ve got a spa and a rooftop pool!<\/p>\n

San Juan, Puerto Rico<\/h3>\n

Contributerd by Alexander Waltner <\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

San Juan is one of the most beautiful cities to visit in the US for colonial buildings and colorful houses. It comes with warm temperatures year-round and a vibrant old town with charming rum bars and historic landmarks.<\/p>\n

Strolling around the old town of San Juan makes you feel like you’re walking in a real-life-movie scene. As for where to stay, I recommend the small but romantic CasaBlanca Hotel<\/a>. All resorts and hotels will have special events or deals for Valentine’s Day.<\/p>\n

1919 Restaurant has a special menu for Valentine’s Day as well and it’s a great place for couples to go. Another great restaurant is Rare 125 which has special menus on Feb 13 and 14.<\/p>\n

Moreover, it’s a great base to explore Puerto Rico, which is full of beautiful beaches and paradise islands. The main island is even home to one of the wettest tropical rainforests in the world, and the only tropical rainforest in the U.S National Forest System.<\/p>\n
