Nothing says love quite like a romantic getaway. As Valentine’s Day approaches, I handpicked a selection of swoon-worthy destinations tailored just for two — along with some incredible hotel bathtubs for an extra splash of magic. Reach out soon; I’ll help plan the gift of a lifetime.
MESMERIZING MINIMOONS: DREAMLIKE DESTINATIONS FOR TWO
CITY RENDEZVOUS: THE MARK
New York City
At The Mark, all of New York City is at your fingertips to whisk away you and your loved one, including museums, art galleries, boutiques, restaurants, cafes, and of course, Central Park. This hotel features 150 guest rooms and suites, including several terrace suites. Ask me about the 10,000-square-foot, five-bedroom Penthouse with private rooftop access.
BEACH OASIS: AMANYARA
Turks and Caicos
A secluded beachside resort, Amanyara is situated on the northwest coast of Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos. Couples feel the relaxing ambiance from the moment of arrival; its name combines the Sanskrit- derived word for ‘peace’ with yara, the word for ‘place’ in the language of the Arawak Amerindians. Thirty six timber-shingled guest pavilions and 20 villas are tucked along the coast and tranquil ponds.
WINE RETREAT: FOUR SEASONS RESORT AND RESIDENCES NAPA VALLEY
Calistoga, California
You and your partner will raise a glass to one another as you soak in magnificent views from this Four Seasons’ Napa retreat. This one-of-a-kind resort is set within a world-class vineyard, a homebase to exploring four boutique wineries. Discover innovative cuisine at Michelin-starred Auro, holistic spa rituals at Spa Talisa and thoughtfully personalized Four Seasons service.
MOUNTAIN HIDEOUT: THE LITTLE NELL
Aspen, Colorado
Aspen is the crossroads of wild mountain and electric city — a haven for romantic gondola rides, incredible spa experiences and candlelit dinners. The Little Nell is the only ski-in, ski-out access to Aspen Mountain, and each room and suite is sophistically tailored to fit Aspen’s relaxed culture. Experience the hotel’s award winning wine list with a private tasting or dinner, and meet one of many sommeliers on staff.
SUMPTUOUS SOAKS: INCREDIBLE HOTEL BATHTUBS
THE SILO HOTEL
Cape Town, South Africa
Perched on the Cape Town waterfront, The Silo Hotel offers some of the most stunning bathrooms in the world, with equally stunning views from its bathtubs. The pillowed floor-to-ceiling windows gift you views of Table Mountain, and the lavish ceramic bathtubs are set close to the windows — perfect for watching the sun set after a busy day of exploration.
QUAILIA
Hamilton Island, Australia
Each room at Qualia offers an oversized bathtub with sweeping views of the ocean, making this an unbeatable relaxation destination. You’ll choose from two pavilion types; the Leeward Pavilions provide a hideaway with a mix of tropical bushland and sea views, while the Windward Pavilions offer private plunge pools (in addition to your dreamy bathtub). Additionally, the exclusive Beach House has its own infinity pool.
HOTEL DE CRILLON, A ROSEWOOD HOTEL
Paris, France
The Les Grand Appartements in Hotel de Crillon offer opulent and lavish quarters created by renowned designer Karl Lagerfeld. The bathtub, carved from a single slab of Carrara marble weighing in at over two tons, was lifted through the window using a crane and placed on two blocks of ice, which, as they melted, made it possible for the tub to be placed into position without damaging the floor.
POST RANCH INN
Big Sur, California
The crisp evenings in Big Sur make the private, outdoor stainless steel soaking tubs even more luxurious. Several of the suites offer soaking tubs, including the Peak House, which also features a wood-burning fireplace and radiant-heated floors. You’ll awaken each day to majestic mountain views while enjoying a cup of morning coffee or tea on the private deck suspended over the top of the ridge.
COQUI COQUI
Mérida, Mexico
If you’ve ever dreamt of sipping a glass of champagne while taking a roomy bubble bath with your partner, I’ve found just the right place; there are two side-by-side tubs at Coqui Coqui. This decadent restored Belle Epoque hotel is right in the center of Mérida, and reflects the rich, extravagant bohemian era of the colonial city, as well as the colorful lifestyle of the Yucatan tropics.
