Make your way to Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak area, where you and your better half can take fireside yoga classes and horseback riding lessons as you admire the striking granite rock formations in the backdrop. For a superlative view of Pikes Peak, make the Gardens of the Gods Collection resort your home base. When hunger strikes, venture to popular steak houses like The Famous and The Peppertree. Then, take a guided tasting tour of one of the area's distilleries or breweries.
St. Lucia  Beautiful, lush and romantic, St. Lucia offers a dreamy escape for couples. At the all-inclusive, adults-only Serenity at Coconut Bay, there are plenty of secluded spots and lavish amenities. With the seven-day Grand Romance Experience package, you can enjoy an en suite couples massage and take a private chauffeured island tour that includes swimming under a waterfall and venturing to lookout points for awe-inspiring views of the mighty Pitons. To up the romance factor, take a Champagne & Jazz Sunset Catamaran Cruise on a catamaran. For more relaxation, stretch out along a private beach, unwind in your cabana and finish off the night with a private, candlelit cabana dinner with butler service.
Dublin  Hidden in Dublin's beautiful Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church are the remains of Valentinus, patron saint of love. If that's not reason to plan a romantic escape with your partner, the spectacular scenery filled with rolling hills, castles, stately manors and cobbled streets are bound to make you swoon. For enchanting accommodations, retreat to The K Club and book the My Lovely Valentine package, which includes a two-night stay, a full Irish breakfast each morning, a four-course dining experience in the Byerley Turk restaurant, Champagne and chocolates upon arrival and a complimentary room upgrade. If you're craving more activity, enjoy hiking, horseback riding, clay shooting or unwinding at the full-service spa.
