In the Eternal City, Cupid will take up residence at Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome for a weekend of amore. The hotel’s neoclassical façade, overlooking the bathing Naiads, inspired its “Roman Sky for Lovers” experience, which draws on the dialogue between the city’s monumental skyline and the sky above it. The night begins at the Michelin‑starred INEO with a tasting menu shaped by the constellations, before ascending to SEEN by Olivier for a glass of bubbles and views that stretch across the city. The evening concludes at AKWA Bar with astral‑inspired cocktails, including a moon‑phase fermented gin crafted especially for the occasion.

For a staycation in the heart of Rome or a weekend getaway, the “Valentine’s Escape” package includes an overnight stay and a couple’s spa ritual featuring a Thai massage with healing oils, plus a choice of a steam bath or infrared sauna session. A private golf cart tour of Rome’s most iconic viewpoints can also be arranged.

“A Roman Sky for Lovers” may be booked as a full dining sequence or as individual elements. 

With appeltaart and tulips briefly overshadowed by chocolate and roses, Valentine’s Day turns Amsterdam into a city dipped in sweetness. At Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky, an exclusive chocolate collection awaits thoughtful last‑minute gifting, while those with a taste for planning can look to The White Room, the hotel’s Michelin‑starred dining room, where a five‑course Valentine’s menu is crafted in collaboration with Perrier‑Jouët Champagne, celebrating the restaurant’s new role as an official ambassador and member of the Perrier‑Jouët Society.

Throughout the season, Grand Café Krasnapolsky adds its own flourish with a special afternoon tea paired with sparkling rosé or a four‑course dinner set against views of the Royal Palace. For a weekend steeped in romance, guests can book the “Amsterdam Love Story” package, which includes a sweet surprise on arrival, a couple’s treatment at the Anantara Spa, a romantic dinner and additional thoughtful touches.

In Marbella, where gentle Mediterranean winters bring soft February sun, days drift easily between strolls through the old town, rounds of golf and unhurried hours by the sea. As the perfect base for such gentle moments, Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Benahavís Marbella introduces its “Refined Romance” package, offering 15% savings on luxury accommodation with breakfast, along with dining and spa experiences that can also be booked separately.

Couples can toast their love over a Mediterranean dinner at La Veranda or over Asian bites at the avant‑garde 99 Sushi Bar & Restaurant, before ending the night with floral cocktails or Champagne in the elegant surrounds of Eddy’s Bar. The “Romantic Journey” couple’s spa ritual completes the experience with a relaxing side‑by‑side massage and access to the resort’s aromatic thermal circuit.
