- Book It With Luxury
If you’re going for a 2-3 days trip somewhere nearby or within the city, then a luxury hotel room will go a long way in making your stay memorable. It’s not every day that you get to experience the rich and famous lifestyle, so why not splurge on yourselves? You can book a suite, order in-room service, and enjoy the day in the comfort of your lavish room. Man, I can already feel my muscles relaxing.

- De-stress & Detox
Being a wanderlust couple, your first day of the vacation should be dedicated to driving out the residual stress from your body, followed by an early dinner and a deep sleep. Book a couples massage or a spa session so that professional masseuses can massage your bodies into a blissful heaven.
This ensures that your body & mind have reset themselves into relaxation mode and are ready to have some fun.

- Plan Ahead W/ An Itinerary
Book everything in advance if you want a buttery smooth Valentine’s travel experience. An itinerary goes a long way in making the best of your travel plans. This includes wine tours, food tours, adventure treks or activities, special dinners, and the like. Try to book everything online to avoid spending a good portion of your time away from your partner trying to book rides or rooms.
- Record Within Reason
I don’t need to tell you to take your cameras with you. But I feel as if I should tell you to record within reason. Try to be in the moment as much as possible. Too much interference, by way of posing for selfies or trying to find the perfect lighting, can ruin the ambiance of your trip. #Valentine2022 can wait for your contribution, but your precious moments with your mate won’t. So let the romance be in the forefront, not your cell phone 😉
- Be Patient With Everyone
This point applies to life itself in general, but when it’s time for a romantic getaway, the suggestion becomes all the more critical.
Sometimes, even after meticulous planning, things go awry, and you are left to improvise on the spot. Sometimes the Hotel management screws up the bookings, you or your partner forget your documents, or a taxi is late to take you to the airport. Whatever be the reason, remember to be patient and spontaneous. Remember, kindness goes longer ways than you might think.
- Look For Valentine’s Special Deals
The world loves Valentine’s Day. Businesses, hotel chains, airline companies, and travel aggregators like MakeMyTrip & AirBnB offer lucrative deals and special packages to wanderlust couples during the Valentine season. Just quick research over the internet for ‘deals for Valentine 2022’ might give you the perfect travel package you were looking for!
- Your Must-Haves
There is a regular list of must-haves while you’re traveling; this includes your ID, first-aid kit, chargers, wallet, etc. But when you are traveling for Valentine’s, there are a few must-haves that you must not forget. This includes any gifts you might be exchanging on V-Day, the perfect romantic songs playlist, games for adults, etc.
- Make It Meaningful
The best way to make your Valentine’s Day trip memorable is to make it meaningful for you and your partner. There are a lot of places in this world where you can spend a ton of money, but it still wouldn’t mean anything more profound than a Guacamole dip you have with your breakfast toast. It might take some thinking on your part but trust me, and it will be worth it.
For example, you can plan a trip to someplace where you both always wanted to go or to a place that holds a special meaning in your lives.

- Stay Away From Social Media..as much as possible
Nothing ruins a mood than someone glued to their phones sliding reel after reel on Instagram. Make a pact with your partner that you will not check your social media feeds for the length of your trip or engage in a Twitter war. Think about it; you’re sitting in a beach cafe, having warm Nutella banana waffles with whipped cream and coffee, enjoying the sunset. Meanwhile, your partner is busy liking cat videos and checking out the latest IG trends. It was a bummer of a romance if I ever saw one.
- Be Romantic!
You might think ‘duh,’ but it is one of the essential tips here for Valentine 2022. When everything is said and done, when all the arrangements have been made, and all the bookings have been confirmed, the only thing left to do is enjoy the trip. I have seen this happening many times, we get caught up so much in the logistics, and we want to enjoy and capture everything, record everything…we forget why we came in the first place. So, be with your partner’s body, mind & soul, make them smile, make them laugh, make them fall in love with you again!
