Romantic Hotels in Europe to book for Valentine’s Day

Traveling with a partner is one of the most unforgettable ways to connect, whether you are thinking ahead to Valentine’s Day or simply daydreaming of your next intimate escape. With travelers seeking meaningful getaways with their loved ones and a world of options to choose from, we’ve broken down three of the most romantic hotels in Europe to consider this season. From a historic Perugian retreat perfect for a cozy winter hideaway to a sun-drenched Santorini sanctuary that shines in spring, these properties offer unforgettable moments to experience with your special someone.

Sina Brufani: Perugia, Italy – Built in 1884 and nestled in the heart of medieval Perugia, the 5-star Sina Brufani offers couples a truly romantic escape. Steeped in history and timeless charm, the hotel’s opulent interiors, frescoed lounges, and antique furnishings create an elegant backdrop for cozy winter evenings. Unwind together in the indoor pool beneath medieval vaults, enjoy a couples’ massage, or relax in the sauna and Turkish bath. Later, warm up by the grand fireplaces before heading out to wander Perugia’s cobblestone streets and quiet piazzas with their sweeping valley views. End the day on your private terrace in a Panoramic Suite, watching the sun set over the Umbrian hills.

Puente Romano Beach Resort: Marbella, Spain – A resort set right along the Mediterranean Coast on Marbella’s Golden Mile, Puente Romano Beach Resort offers couples beach access and ocean views. The resort becomes even more magical in Autumn and Winter with an intimate charm, gentle breezes, and fewer crowds. With over 20 restaurants on property, dining becomes a romantic journey. Share a beachfront dinner at Chiringuito indulging in fresh seafood, delicious wines, and candlelight, and walk together along the beach promenade after dinner. Enjoy one another's company while savoring olive oil tastings and cooking classes on property, while unwinding with live music and cocktails to end the night with your partner.

Santo Mine: Santorini, Greece – Stunning, direct views of the Aegean Sea are possible through every single suite that encapsulates this 37-suite (only!) property. Each with its own secluded pool or jacuzzi with views of the iconic Santorini sunsets, book a trip to Santorini now to enjoy the best, most intimate time of year during shoulder season (April-early June). With less crowds, pleasant weather, and more time to soak in with your partner, have dinner at Ālme while listening to violinists at sunset, explore quiet day-trips across the island as arranged by the concierge, and take a scenic hike from Fira to Oia for sweeping caldera views to never be forgotten.
