Valentine's Day Getaways

Whether you are looking for some R&R, special spa time or gal pal time, here are some fabulous retreats for this Valentine's Day!

San Diego, CA
This Valentine’s Day, romance seekers do not have to travel far to experience one of Venice’s most magical spa treatments. Loews Coronado Bay Resort in San Diego proudly presents the Voga Voyage, a unique spa experience that is enjoyed while cruising in an authentic Venetian gondola.
Designed for couples, the Voga Voyage takes place on a 33-foot gondola equipped with two professional massage beds. After departing from the resort’s private marina, couples enjoy a soothing sunscreen application and a relaxing 40-minute massage. Cool sea breezes and the gentle rocking of the gondola as it cruises the canals and waterways of the Coronado Cays add an unforgettable element to the already unique experience. Complimentary champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries are enjoyed during the final 10 minutes of the scenic cruise.
The Voga Voyage starts at $400 per couple; prices vary depending on the season. For reservations or more information, please contact Sea Spa at Loews Coronado Bay Resort at 619-628-8770 or www.seaspaatloews.com.

This year at the W Fort Lauderdale, ladies and ‘gents can show that special someone in their lives a little grooming love with a head-to-toe makeover that will help them both put their best foot (and face) forward. Just in time for Valentine’s Day this blissful package titled Crazy Love, with W Style, includes a couple’s style consultation with a W Store stylist, his/her spa treatments (including a lip facial to tone up the kisser!) and a credit toward date night.

Known for putting the “man" in manicure and the “G” in grooming, Bliss Guy Fort Lauderdale hand-selected a sensual spa package to ensure these couples are loving in style this Valentine’s Day.

*For Her – a Fabulips Treatment, think of it as a facial for the kisser; a Head Over ‘Peels’ Pedicure, a sole-stimulating, citrus-scented pedi that will leave feet looking seriously a-‘peel’-ing; a Hot Cream Manicure, a signature finger fixer-upper; and a Poetic Waxing® Basic Bikini
