5 Romantic Getaways You Should Plan For Your Better Half

Every couple has different ideas about what makes a romantic weekend getaway, but whether your ideal vacation consists of a relaxing day on a private island, a memorable farm-to-table dinner and a walk through beautiful gardens, a resort-style beachfront retreat, or a cozy fireplace and a glass of Merlot, there is a hotel or resort that can make your dream come true. Here are our selections for the most romantic weekend vacations in the United States, ranging from a cabin in Colorado surrounded by hot springs to several opulent tropical resorts in Hawaii and Florida (hello: warm weather!). 

Visit them at any time of year and for any purpose, whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway, a milestone celebration, or just a peaceful weekend to relax with just each other to concentrate on.

Here are 5 romantic weekend getaway ideas to plan:

1. Twin Farms

Located around 75 miles southeast of Burlington in Barnard, Vermont, between maple and pine trees, is an 18th-century home that was formerly owned by Nobel Prize-winning author Sinclair Lewis. The original building, which is now a part of a 300-acre Relais & Chateaux estate, is surrounded by eight treehouses designed by Michaelis Boyd, ten separate cottages, the two-bedroom lodge, and the four-bedroom farmhouse. The accommodations range from the simple, rustic-chic treehouses to the dog-friendly Log Cabin, which has hand-hewn hickory and oak furnishings, and the contemporary, Peter Bohlin-designed Aviary, which has a living-room hot tub.

Spend the entire weekend holed up in your lodging, making requests by calling 125 for everything. You can request a lavish, multi-course meal served en suite with wine pairings, more wood for the fireplace, or another bottle of Cabernet. Or ask for a packed lunch to enjoy at one of the various picnic areas on the property, which include a mountaintop Lift Shack, a two-person glass house with a view of the food gardens, and a platform high in the treetops. 

2. Duton Hot Spring

How can a historic Colorado Rockies mining village transform into a truly unique luxury resort? The water—more precisely, the hot springs—holds the solution. Leveraging the area’s natural resources, Dunton Hot Springs consists of a group of refurbished log cottages encircled by six distinct hot springs. After your geothermal fix, enjoy the open wilderness, which is perfect for hiking and horseback riding, the library, and the recently renovated Saloon, which features comfortable private eating areas. 

For the best stay, reserve the three-night Mountain Romance package. The package includes two 75-minute spa treatments, Champagne upon arrival, all meals and drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), and one half-day activity for two people with private guidance. The lodge’s Sleigh Journey & Dine experience is worth adding. It includes a horse-drawn carriage journey to Dunton River Camp at dusk, where you’ll enjoy a romantic dinner for two in a 19th-century farmhouse. After the meal, you may enjoy cocktails and a campfire outside.

3. The Charleston Place

In 2021, this iconic hotel in Charleston’s historic district—once a part of the Belmond collection—took a new turn and started its oath. The property is being transformed for $150 million under new ownership. By September 2024, the hotel had started to reinvent its traditional style by fusing modern sophistication with classic elegance. Mahogany mattresses, freestanding armoires, and silk curtains adorning floor-to-ceiling windows with breathtaking views of the neighborhood are typical “Once Upon a Time in Charleston” accents found inside the suites. As residents and visitors congregate for drinks at the Thoroughbred Club or take pictures by the arching double staircase, the great foyer, with its beauty reminiscent of the past, is bustling with bustle.

The hotel is situated in Charleston’s bustling center, just a short distance from famous sites, picturesque parks, and cobblestone streets. Reserve a table at Sorelle, where Chef Nick Dugan creates Italian cuisine with ingredients from the Low Country, for a memorable meal. Back at the hotel, go up to the Club Level for free beverages all day long and access to a chic two-story bar with changing gourmet cuisines.

4. Rosewood Miramar Beach

This enormous beach resort is reminiscent of a coastal fantasy. Rosewood’s famous hospitality elevates this lovely blend of contemporary beach refinement and laid-back sophistication, which opened in 2019. With 16 acres of clapboard cottages, rolling lawns, clipped boxwoods, and stylish coastal rooms, all surrounded by infinite Pacific views, high design meets Americana. Like the gardens, the estate’s 119 rooms and 34 suites have been carefully designed. The terrace-level ocean suites are the most sought-after lodging options because they provide the unique opportunity to walk directly onto the sand from your door, which is unrivaled in Santa Barbara. 

Once you’re in this beautiful retreat, it’s difficult to leave. Even though room service is tempting, don’t miss the sustainable omakase experience at AMA Sushi or Caruso’s for its seaside tasting menu that includes Santa Barbara abalone and spiny crab. Toast the day with Champagne at the Miramar Beach Bar for the ultimate California beach vibes. You could even catch a laid-back A-lister enjoying the atmosphere. They are also lured to this place because of the amazing food, the ambience, and the hassle-free seclusion.

5.  The Farmhouse Inn

The essence of Sonoma wine country is encapsulated in this 25-room boutique retreat, a sophisticated yet welcoming haven for foodies and wine connoisseurs who value well-considered luxury. Cottages, barn suites, and farmhouse rooms are among the lodging options; each combines contemporary comforts with rustic elements. Imagine deep-soaking baths, private patios, sliding barn doors, and roaring fireplaces. Hand-cut soaps, handmade cosmetics, and, of course, copious amounts of excellent wine are served to guests. 

The famous wineries of Sonoma are only a short distance away. Co-owner Joe Bartolomei individually chose 25 winery partners for Farmhouse Inn’s carefully planned wine program, which offers guests special tastings and tours. The concierge staff is prepared to create a customized wine schedule based on your tastes. Take a quick journey to Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve for a change of scenery. You may enjoy a peaceful and private retreat while strolling beneath stately old trees.
