Valentine’s Day is just two weeks away, and if you’d rather treat your special someone to an experience to remember rather than the typical gift, a spa break or romantic hotel stay could be the key. While Valentine’s Day is typically a day to celebrate being struck with a cupid’s arrow, many people choose it to celebrate all kinds of love – romantic or otherwise. So, whether you want to treat your partner, parent or friend this Valentine’s Day to let them know how special they are, there are plenty of experiential options out there.
Given the time of year, many hotels and spas have launched special deals and discounts to celebrate the occasion. Wowcher also has plenty of discounted deals, with spa days for less than £100. Similarly, SpaBreaks.com has collated a whole list of spa and hotel packages with discounts in time for Valentine’s Day.
As you might imagine, booking a slot for February 14 can be tricky with it being in such high demand, but the good news is that there are still opportunities to book a pamper session for your loved one in February.
I’ve hunted around to find a few stand-out deals, but this list certainly doesn’t summarise every single deal out there this Valentine’s Day so it’s worth shopping around or visiting your favourite spa or hotel website. It’s also worth noting that while these prices are accurate at the time of writing, with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, some deals could sell out or change in price.
