With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to plan a romantic retreat stateside or a getaway to a tropical locale. We’ve found four ways to take a romantic rendezvous throughout the Caribbean, the Bahamas and Palm Beach that are filled with picnics, champagne and, of course, chocolate.
Couples can escape on a romantic retreat to a private island in the Bahamas with Kamalame Cay’s Valentine’s Day package.
The Lover’s Island Rendezvous includes a 3-, 4- or 5-night stay in a beach suite, cottage suite or 1-bedroom villa suite. Guests will receive a complimentary bottle of champagne and hand-crafted chocolates; a 60-minute couple’s massage at the Overwater Spa; a private dinner; and an afternoon on a private island in the Atlantic Ocean with a picnic lunch for two, snorkeling gear and speedboat ride to and from.
Rates start at $2,699. For more information, call (800) 790-7971 or visit kamalame.com. For more on Kamalame Cay, see Book a New Villa at Kamalame Cay.
