February can be the coldest month, as winter makes its final push before we move closer to spring. But, thanks to Valentine’s Day on the 14th, it’s also a month to celebrate love, romance, and the warm feelings we have for the people we care about most.

This year, instead of giving flowers or candy to show your love, how about surprising your special someone with a romantic getaway? Whether you book the trip now or make plans together for later, giving the gift of travel is a treat for them and for yourself.

From cozy mountain resorts to idyllic beaches, there’s something for everyone. So grab your loved one and start planning your escape! We’ve got three romantic trips below to get you started.

Romantic Southern Getaway to Savannah, Georgia

The charming coastal city of Savannah, Georgia is both welcoming and mysterious, equal parts historic and contemporary. It’s a place where antebellum architecture and shiny new buildings stand side-by-side, where classic Southern hospitality and fresh, creative energy come together within a landscape of green gardens draped with Spanish moss, and where a busy downtown riverfront leads to ocean breezes just a short drive away. It’s the perfect vacation spot for history buffs, foodies, art lovers, and couples looking for a romantic weekend escape.

Romantic Weekend Getaway to Ojai, California

Derived from an indigenous word meaning “nest,” there may be no better description for the quaint town of Ojai. Comfortably tucked away in the Ventura River Valley of the Topatopa Mountains in Southern California, and home to a year-round Mediterranean-style climate as well as a lovely downtown area full of boutique shops, restaurants, and art galleries, it’s the perfect setting for a romantic weekend getaway for two.
