As the month of love approaches, you may find yourself dreaming of a getaway that combines romance with a little adventure. February is a good month for it: ski season is in full swing, the South and California are mild and quiet, and South Florida is warm while most of the country is not. Below are romantic February vacation ideas across the United States, region by region, with the things that are actually happening in February and, for most of them, a place to stay where the room has its own hot tub or jetted tub.
Picture yourself walking hand in hand on a quiet beach as the sun dips low, or sharing a warm drink by the fire in a mountain inn. The best ones give you time to slow down together. We checked the hotels, rooms and dates below in October 2026, for February 2027.
Key Takeaways
- In 2027, Valentine’s Day falls on Sunday, February 14, and Presidents’ Day on Monday, February 15, so they share one long weekend. STR hotel data shows Valentine’s and Presidents’ Day weekends push hotel occupancy up, so book early or travel midweek.
- February is quiet season in many romantic places. Biltmore in Asheville runs its Winter at Biltmore season, Napa’s mustard fields bloom, and Highway 1 through Big Sur has been fully open again since January 2026.
- Some ideas don’t work in February. Most Great Lakes island ferries stop or run a reduced winter service, the ocean in North Florida is in the 50s, and St. Augustine’s Nights of Lights ends in January.
- For each region we name a hotel or inn where you can book a room with its own tub, and the room type to ask for. At most of them only some rooms have one.

Embrace the Charm of Winter Romance in the Northeast
When the chill of winter sets in, it’s the perfect time to explore the Northeast for a couples retreat in February. The snowy landscapes are the backdrop, and small inns with a fire going and a tub big enough for two do the rest.
Quaint Bed and Breakfasts in Vermont
Vermont’s bed and breakfasts are made for a snug retreat. Imagine waking up to a view of snow-laden trees, starting your day with a hearty, homemade breakfast, and cuddling up by a crackling fire. In February you can add cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or a sleigh ride, and be back at the inn before dark.
Rabbit Hill Inn in Lower Waterford, in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, is an adults-only inn where several rooms have a two-person whirlpool tub and a gas fireplace. Ask for the Nest, the Loft or Cedar Glen, and check that the inn is taking bookings for your dates. If you would rather be near a ski resort, our Stowe list has inns a short drive from the lifts.
Ice Skating in New York City
Few activities can match the charm of ice skating with your loved one in the middle of New York City. Wollman Rink in Central Park and The Rink at Rockefeller Center both open in October and are still running in February, though their closing dates for 2027 weren’t out yet when we checked. After a hand-in-hand glide across the ice, warm up with a cup of hot cocoa as you take in the city lights.
Couples Resorts and Cabins in the Poconos
The Pocono Mountains have been a couples’ getaway for decades. The two couples-only resorts still run by Cove Poconos Resorts, Cove Haven and Paradise Stream, are known for their heart-shaped whirlpools and seven-foot champagne-glass tubs.
At Cove Haven Resort in Lakeville, the Cove Harbour suite has a heart-shaped whirlpool for two and a log-burning fireplace, and the Champagne Tower suite has a seven-foot champagne-glass whirlpool plus its own heart-shaped pool. At Paradise Stream Resort, Diana’s Oasis Suite has a heart-shaped whirlpool, a fireplace and its own pool. If you would rather have the woods to yourselves, the Pocono cabins with a hot tub on our list each have their own hot tub, and there are more heart-shaped tubs on our list of hotels with a heart-shaped jacuzzi.
Fireside Dining in Coastal Maine
Coastal Maine may be known for its summer charm, but winter brings a different kind of magic. Picture candlelit dinners in historic inns, where fresh seafood and seasonal comfort dishes are served by roaring fireplaces. Towns like Kennebunkport and Camden are quiet in February, and while some inns and restaurants close for the winter, a good number in midcoast Maine stay open. In early February, Camden also hosts the U.S. National Toboggan Championships at the Camden Snow Bowl, which is as much fun to watch as it sounds.
Grand Harbor Inn sits on Camden harbor, and every one of its ten rooms and suites has a Jacuzzi tub, a gas fireplace and a private balcony. Check that it’s open on your dates before you plan the trip around it.
Winter Wine Tasting in the Hudson Valley
The Hudson Valley is quiet and often snowy in winter, good for couples looking to blend romance with a little wine adventure. Several wineries stay open through the colder months. Millbrook Vineyards & Winery pours every day of the year in the afternoon, and Whitecliff Vineyard & Winery has tasting rooms in Gardiner and in Hudson. Pair your visit with a stay in the Catskills, on the west side of the river, for a laid-back weekend of sipping, strolling, and reconnecting.
Spa Retreats in the Berkshires
If your idea of romance includes total relaxation, the Berkshires are calling. This peaceful Massachusetts region is home to two well-known wellness resorts in Lenox, Miraval Berkshires (guests must be 18 or older) and Canyon Ranch, with couples treatments, saunas and snowy trails. After your treatments, curl up in a plush robe with tea by the window or take a peaceful walk in the fresh winter air.
For a room with its own tub, Chambery Inn in Lee is an adults-only inn on Main Street. La Savoie Deluxe has a jetted tub for two, the other rooms have a jetted tub for one, and the gas fireplaces run in winter.
Here is how the Northeast ideas compare:
| Getaway | What you get | February activities |
|---|---|---|
| Vermont bed and breakfasts | Homemade breakfast, a fire, small inns | Cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, sleigh rides |
| New York City | Famous rinks, city lights | Skating, shows, museums |
| Poconos couples resorts and cabins | Heart-shaped tubs, private hot tubs | Snow tubing, skiing, staying in |
| Coastal Maine | Harbor towns, seafood by the fire | Toboggan championships, quiet walks |
| Hudson Valley | Wineries, small towns | Tastings, antiques, hiking |
| Berkshires | Wellness resorts | Couples treatments, snowshoeing |
Experience Southern Love Stories and Historic Ambiance
The cities of the South are mild in February, with fewer crowds than in spring, and their historic districts are made for long walks and long dinners.
Charleston’s Historic Charm
Charleston, South Carolina, is all cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages, and grand oaks draped in Spanish moss. Its historic district is easy to explore on foot, and the restaurants are reason enough to come. Note that in 2027 the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition (February 12 to 14) falls on Valentine’s weekend, so downtown will be busier than usual and hotels fill up early.
Wentworth Mansion is a 19th-century mansion in the middle of Charleston’s historic district. Its rooms have oversized whirlpool tubs, and the East Wing rooms also have their original gas fireplaces. There are more on our list of Charleston hotels with a tub in the room.
Savannah’s Squares and Riverfront Walks
In Savannah, Georgia, a city that prizes its originality as much as its history, you can wander between tree-shaded squares and down to the riverfront. Along the river promenade you pass historic buildings, local artisans and the smells of Southern cooking. If you like books, the Savannah Book Festival runs February 4 to 7, 2027, a week before Valentine’s Day.
The Gastonian is an adults-only inn two blocks from Forsyth Park. Rooms 206 Mary Telfair, 302 Sheftall-Sheftall and 306 Julia Scarborough have a whirlpool tub. Our Savannah list has more.
New Orleans’ Jazz Nights and Mardi Gras
New Orleans, Louisiana, is the place for a lively February. Mardi Gras falls on Tuesday, February 9, 2027, and the parades in the weeks before it fill the city, so either plan your trip around Carnival or come just after it, for Valentine’s weekend. For a classic evening, the New Orleans Steamboat Company runs an evening jazz cruise on the Mississippi with live Dixieland music and an optional dinner. When we checked in October 2026, the Steamboat Natchez was away for renovations and the Riverboat City of New Orleans was running the cruises in its place, so check which boat you’ll be on. Hotels book up early and cost more during Carnival.
Ashton’s Bed and Breakfast is in a historic house on Esplanade Avenue, nine blocks from the French Quarter. The Creole Queen room has a corner whirlpool tub for two, and the Bourbon Street room has a claw-foot whirlpool tub. More stays are on our Louisiana list.
Cozy Retreats in the Smoky Mountains
On the border of Tennessee and North Carolina, the Smoky Mountains offer couples a quiet escape among rolling hills and fresh mountain air. January and February are the most likely months for snow in the mountains, though in the valleys it comes and goes, so don’t count on it. Spend the day on scenic trails, then warm up in a cabin with a fireplace and a hot tub. If you park in Great Smoky Mountains National Park for more than 15 minutes, you need a parking tag, which you can buy online; there is no entrance fee. Gatlinburg and Bryson City add quaint shops and local diners.
For a cabin, our list of Gatlinburg cabins with a hot tub has cabins with their own hot tub, many with mountain views. For a hotel, The Inn at Christmas Place in Pigeon Forge has king mini suites with an in-room whirlpool tub and a gas fireplace, and yes, it’s decorated for Christmas all year.
Old Streets in St. Augustine
As one of the oldest cities in the United States, St. Augustine, Florida, offers a romantic blend of Spanish architecture, coastal breezes, and centuries of history. Couples can tour the Castillo de San Marcos (open daily from 9 a.m.), wander hidden courtyards, or see the historic district by horse-drawn carriage. The famous Nights of Lights display ends in mid-January (January 18 in 2027), so February is quieter, with mild days for walking and waterfront restaurants for dinner.
Carriage Way Inn Bed & Breakfast is an adults-only inn half a block from St. George Street and about a ten-minute walk from the Castillo. Its Gold room, in a private cottage, has a Jacuzzi tub, and the Amethyst room and Diamond Suite have air-jet tubs. See more on our St. Augustine list.
Gardens and Art in Asheville
Asheville, North Carolina, brings an artistic flair to Southern romance. From January 11 to March 24, 2027, Biltmore Estate runs its Winter at Biltmore season, with the orchids in the Conservatory, wine tastings at the Winery and the lowest ticket and room prices of the year. Downtown, couples can browse galleries and settle into a cozy café for live music. The River Arts District is open again after Hurricane Helene, though some artists are still waiting to get back into permanent studios, so check which studios are open before you go.
Asheville Cabins of Willow Winds is 3.5 miles from Biltmore, and every one of its 25 cabins has a private hot tub. Our list of Asheville hotels with a jacuzzi in the room has more.
Florida Beaches in February
February is a great time to plan a beach escape, especially when you’re dreaming of warmth and time together. Walk along the shore with your partner, feel the breeze coming off the water, and let the rhythm of the waves set a relaxed, romantic mood.
Pick the part of Florida that fits what you want, though. In February the ocean averages in the mid 50s to low 60s °F in North Florida and the Panhandle, around 64 to 66 °F at St. Petersburg and Naples, and about 70 °F or warmer only in the Keys and around Miami, going by NOAA station averages. North Florida is lovely for beach walks and sunsets; for swimming, head south.
- Begin your day with a sunrise walk on the beach on the Atlantic side, a quiet moment to share.
- Spend the afternoon side by side on beach chairs, with the horizon stretching out in front of you.
- If the water is warm enough where you are, go for a swim together.
- Watch the sunset as you dine at a waterfront restaurant on the Gulf coast, where the sun goes down over the water.
Two places on our Florida list that work well in February:
- Naples: Bellasera Hotel is steps from Fifth Avenue South in Old Naples and about a mile from the beach, with a shuttle. Its pool view rooms have an en-suite Jacuzzi tub and a balcony over the pool.
- Juno Beach: Hampton Inn Jupiter/Juno Beach is three blocks from the beach in Palm Beach County. Book the king suite with a jetted tub; one version also has a balcony.
This February, let Florida’s beaches be the setting for a slower, warmer weekend together, with long walks, long dinners and nowhere you need to be.
The Pacific Northwest in February
The Pacific Northwest in February is gray, green and dramatic. Maybe it’s a cozy cabin tucked deep in the woods or a room steps from the wild, rocky coast. Either way, it’s about the weather outside and the fire inside. Winter storms still roll in off the Pacific in February, which makes for great wave watching from a warm room. When the waves are up, Travel Oregon’s advice is to stay off the beach and watch from somewhere safe.
“In every walk with Nature one receives far more than he seeks,” wrote John Muir in Steep Trails.
| Kind of stay | What to expect in February |
|---|---|
| Oceanfront lodges | Storm watching from your room, a fireplace and a tub |
| Forest cabins | Rain-soaked trails, waterfalls running high, a hot tub on the deck |
| Mountain towns | Snow in the Cascades, holiday lights in Leavenworth through the end of February |
| Wine country | Quiet tasting rooms in the Willamette Valley |
Two oceanfront picks on our Oregon coast list:
- Cannon Beach: at the oceanfront Stephanie Inn, every room has a jetted tub and a gas fireplace. Children 11 and under can’t stay.
- Yachats: Overleaf Lodge & Spa is on the oceanfront in Yachats, and its oceanfront rooms with a balcony, fireplace and Jacuzzi let you soak while you watch the waves.
The Pacific Northwest’s mix of rugged coastlines, deep forests, and quiet mountain towns sets the mood for something special. Think misty mornings, a fire in the evening, and a quiet setting where it’s easy to slow down.
California’s Coast in February
California’s coastline is mild in February, and the crowds of summer are gone. Here are four ideas, and a place to stay for each where we could.
Sunset Sailing in San Diego
Imagine gliding across the calm waters of the bay as the sky turns orange and pink. Sailing companies in San Diego sail all year, and in winter some also run whale watching trips, since gray whales pass the coast on their migration.
Pacific Terrace Hotel sits on a bluff over the beach in Pacific Beach. Its Pacific Sunset Suite has an ocean view and a jetted tub. More are on our San Diego list.
Wine Tasting in Napa Valley
February is mustard season in Napa Valley: between January and March, wild mustard blooms yellow between the vines, usually peaking in mid-February. The tasting rooms are quieter than in summer, and January and February are Restaurant Month in Napa Valley, with special menus around the valley.
The Napa Inn is a bed and breakfast steps from downtown Napa. The Roman Suite has a two-person jetted tub under a large stained-glass window. Our Napa list has more.
Starry Nights in Big Sur
Big Sur’s dramatic cliffs and sweeping ocean views are only part of its magic. As night falls, the sky fills with stars, perfect for couples seeking quiet connection. Highway 1 through Big Sur fully reopened on January 14, 2026, after nearly three years of slide closures, but winter rain can still bring down rock and mud, so check Caltrans QuickMap before you drive.
Ventana Big Sur, an Alila Resort has rooms and suites with a private hot tub on the deck (book one of those by name), and it’s on our list of California hotels with a hot tub on the balcony.
A Stroll on Catalina Island
Catalina Island has a pretty harbor and quiet walking paths. Catalina Express runs boats all year from San Pedro, Long Beach and Dana Point, so check the winter schedule, since the number of daily departures varies by season. A slow walk along the Avalon waterfront is a lovely way to spend an afternoon together.
| Activity | Location | Why in February |
|---|---|---|
| Sunset sailing | San Diego | Boats sail all year, whale season |
| Wine tasting | Napa Valley | Mustard blooms, quiet tasting rooms |
| Stargazing | Big Sur | Highway 1 open, few visitors |
| Island stroll | Catalina Island | Mild weather, quiet streets |
Trails to Love in the Rocky Mountains
February in the Rocky Mountains means deep snow, blue skies and quiet desert parks farther south. Here’s how to spend it together.
Ski Resorts in Colorado
February is the heart of ski season in Colorado. You can glide over the slopes with your partner, then warm up by a fire. In Telluride, The Inn at Lost Creek is ski-in/ski-out in Mountain Village, and its suites have a bathroom with a steam shower and a jetted tub. Our ski post, Ski Hotels with a Hot Tub in the Room, has nine more.
Hot Springs Soaks in Idaho
For those seeking tranquility, Idaho’s natural hot springs are hard to beat in winter. Lava Hot Springs is open all year, with pools between 102 and 112 °F. Burgdorf Hot Springs, north of McCall, can only be reached by snowmobile in winter and needs a reservation.
In Lava Hot Springs, Home Hotel has natural hot springs baths in the rooms and is within walking distance of the town’s famous hot pools.
Stargazing in Utah’s National Parks
Utah has the highest concentration of certified International Dark Sky Places in the world, according to Visit Utah, including Arches, Canyonlands, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef and Zion. Winter nights are long and cold, and the parks are far quieter than in spring. Bring warm layers and a thermos, and look up. For a room with a jetted tub near Arches and Canyonlands, see our Moab list.
| Colorado ski resorts | Idaho hot springs | Utah national parks | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main activity | Skiing and snowboarding | Soaking | Stargazing and hiking |
| Scenery | Snowy slopes | Steaming pools in the snow | Red rock under the stars |
| Where to stay | Ski-in/ski-out suites | Small hot springs hotels | Moab inns |
| Best for couples who | Like an active trip | Want to relax | Love nature and quiet |
Valentine’s Day Vacations: Urban Retreats for Couples
If the energy of the city speaks to your heart, Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to plan a getaway filled with urban romance. Think skyline views, soft lights, and streets buzzing with life. Spend the day your way: a candlelit dinner at a favorite restaurant, a sunset cruise along the harbor, or an afternoon in a gallery. Even in a busy city, you’ll find moments made for slowing down together.
Here are a few ways to spend your day of love in the city:
- Start your day with a long brunch at a café downtown.
- Book a couples massage at a day spa.
- Take a stroll through one of the city’s historic districts and its architecture.
- Have afternoon tea in a hotel lounge with views of the skyline.
- Watch the city lights come on from a rooftop bar, cocktail in hand.
As the evening of your Valentine’s Day comes, end it with:
- A gallery or museum late opening.
- A dinner reservation you made weeks ago, because Valentine’s night books up early.
- A night at the theater or a live performance.
- A nightcap at a historic hotel bar.
In 2027 Valentine’s Day is a Sunday and Presidents’ Day is the next day, so if you have the Monday off, a city break can run Saturday to Monday without using a vacation day. The flip side is that hotels know it too: book early, or come the weekend after when it’s quieter. Our map of hotels with a hot tub in the room shows the hotels we list in big US cities.
Discover Love on the Lakes: The Midwest in Winter
The Midwest in February is frozen lakes, snowy shores and small towns that slow right down. It’s the quietest time to visit, which is exactly the point.
Lake Michigan’s Shoreline Towns
Lake Michigan’s shore towns are quiet in February, with ice along the beaches and fewer visitors. In Traverse City, Bayshore Resort is on the beach of West Grand Traverse Bay, close to downtown, and has suites with a two-person spa tub and a fireplace. Door County, on the Wisconsin side, is another favorite: The Ashbrooke Hotel in Egg Harbor is adults-only and has whirlpool suites with a two-person tub and a gas fireplace. Many lakeshore inns close or cut back in winter, so check both are open on your dates.
Cozy Lodges in Minnesota
On Minnesota’s North Shore of Lake Superior, Lutsen Mountains is the largest ski area in the Midwest, and lodges along the shore make a cozy base for skiing, snowshoeing and evenings by the fire. Our Minnesota list has rooms with a jacuzzi around the state.
Winter on the Great Lakes Islands
Island hopping is a summer plan, and in February most island ferries stop or run a reduced, weather-dependent service. On Mackinac Island, the ferry from St. Ignace keeps running in winter when the weather allows, but most of the island is closed and only a few places to stay are open. On Lake Superior, the Madeline Island ferry usually stops in mid-January, and in a cold winter an ice road or a windsled takes over. The Washington Island ferry in Door County runs all year, so it’s the easiest island to reach in February, but plan around the weather.
February Vacation Deals: Getting More for Your Money
February can be good value, but not everywhere and not every weekend. Around Valentine’s Day and Presidents’ Day hotels are busy, and in 2027 the two fall on the same weekend. Elsewhere in the month, places in their quiet season often cost less: Biltmore, for example, sells its lowest-priced tickets and overnight stays of the year in January, February and March.
- Travel midweek or on a different weekend. The weekend of February 12 to 15, 2027 will be the busiest; the weekends before and after are usually easier (except in New Orleans, where the weekend before is the last weekend of Carnival).
- Pick a place in its quiet season. Vermont outside ski weekends, the Oregon coast, Asheville and Savannah are quieter in February than in spring or summer.
- Avoid big events, or book them early. Mardi Gras in New Orleans and SEWE in Charleston fill hotels.
- Look for packages. Many inns and resorts sell winter packages that bundle the room with dinner, spa time or lift tickets, which can cost less than booking each part separately.
- Book a refundable rate. Winter weather can close roads and passes, and a refundable booking means you can move the trip.
- Book the room type with the tub, by name. A cheaper room at the same hotel may not have one. Our guide on how to verify an in-room hot tub before you book shows how to check.
Whether your version of romance is a snowy mountain inn or a sunny beach, plan ahead for the busy weekend and stay flexible on the rest, and February can give you more for your money than you’d expect.
Island Escapes and Couples Spa Retreats
The US Virgin Islands
For a warm February without a passport, the US Virgin Islands are an easy choice for US citizens. On St. John, two-thirds of the island is national park, with beaches, snorkeling and trails. Caneel Bay, once the island’s best-known resort, is closed, so look at St. Thomas or the villas and inns on St. John when you book.
Private Villas on Quiet Beaches
Nothing says romance quite like a private villa on a quiet beach, with the sand outside your door and nobody else around. In February, look to Hawaii, the Keys or the Virgin Islands for water warm enough to swim in.
Couples Spa Retreats Across the Country
Couples spa retreats are spread across the country, in Napa Valley, New England and plenty of places in between. Some, like Miraval Berkshires, are adults only. A spa day pairs well with a room that has its own tub, so you can keep the relaxation going in the evening.
| Destination | What you get | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| US Virgin Islands | Warm water, a national park on St. John | Beaches and snorkeling |
| Private beach villas | Privacy, your own stretch of sand | Doing nothing at all |
| Spa retreats | Couples treatments, quiet grounds | Rest and reconnecting |
Final Thought
There is no single best place for a romantic February trip, but there is a best one for the two of you. If you want snow and a fire, go to Vermont, the Poconos or the Rockies. If you want warmth, go south to Florida, Savannah or San Diego. If you want something to do every evening, pick New Orleans, Charleston or a big city. Whichever you choose, book the busy Valentine’s and Presidents’ Day weekend early, and book the room with the tub by name.
