6 unforgettable Galentine’s Day getaway ideas
We have some exciting Galentine’s Day destinations to recommend too, but we know that budget, time, and your current location make a BIG difference.
So, we’ve divided them into different types of Galentine’s Day holidays. That way, you can get inspired and steal the idea but choose a closer destination if needed.
1. Beach holiday
Is February freezing cold where you live? Then plan a Galentine’s Day getaway to escape the chillness.
Head somewhere you can comfortably enjoy your best #BeachLife: sunbathing, sipping cocktails, and being beside the seaside.
Some places that tend to be much warmer in February are:
- Florida
- Mexico
- Singapore
- Barbados
- Dominican Republic
- Melbourne
- Cape Town
- The Bahamas
2. City break
Do you thrive on the hustle and bustle of a metropolis? Wanna get lost in pretty cafes and museums? Pick a capital or a large city for your Galentine’s Day getaway.
In this case, the world is really your oyster, but some popular destinations are:
- Paris
- New York
- Barcelona
- London
- Rome
Or if you’d rather party:
3. Rural getaway
Picture this: renting a villa with your friends, exploring its idyllic surroundings at your own pace, and enjoying a glass of wine whilst gazing at the sunset.
If that sounds like your kind of Galentine’s Day getaway, choose a quiet area in the countryside, like:
- Tuscany in Italy
- Provence in France
- Asturias in Spain
4. Spa trip
This is the definition of relaxation!
A spa break is particularly perfect for shorter Galentine’s Day getaways, from all-inclusive resorts to smaller packages if you’d rather discover that area and local restaurants, too.
You can plan this type of break in your own country. If you want to go big, however, some of the most breath-taking spa resorts around the world are:
- Chiva-Som in Hua Hin, Thailand
- Andronis Concept Wellness Resort in Santorini, Greece
- Six Senses Kaplankaya in Milas, Turkey
- Lefay Resort & Spa Dolomiti in Pinzolo, Italy
- Le Blanc Spa Resort in Cancun, Mexico.
5. Outdoorsy holiday
Hikers at heart? If the cold won’t stop you, you’re spoiled with choices!
But, if you’d rather keep a little warmer, here are some ideas:
- Madeira and Algarve in Portugal
- Cape Verde
- Catalonia in Spain
- Arizona
6. A specific activity
What’s something you and your friends always say you’re going to do but never get around to?
This is the sign you were looking for: plan your Galentine’s Day getaway around that activity!
It could be something extreme or more chilled, like:
- Skydiving in Nepal
- Yoga in Bali
- Skiing in France
- Wine tasting in Italy
