In celebration of the most romantic time of year, luxury hotels and sumptuous resorts in some of the world’s most exciting destinations are offering couples the chance to experience a range of exclusive Valentine’s stays. And a number of these focus on the destination’s cuisine, pairing fine fare with unforgettable settings and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. We take a look at the most lavish gourmet escapes on offer this Valentine’s Day.

Hotel Arts Barcelona, Spain

Valentine's Escapes

@hotelartsbarcelona

Hotel Arts Barcelona sits on the city’s sandy shores, affording spectacular views out to sea. These vistas are naturally best taken in high above the city from the hotel’s penthouse. And this is where couples stay on the hotel’s exclusive five-night Valentine’s experience, for which much of the focus falls on the cuisine, including the stand-out fine dining of two-Michelin starred eatery Enoteca by esteemed Catalan chef Paco Perez. Guests are treated to cocktails in Frank’s Bar with a workshop led by accomplished bartender Diego Baud, Mediterranean cuisine at restaurant Arola, and a night of fresh oysters and chocolate dipped strawberries with flutes of Cava. An exclusive shopping experience, Mercedes Benz city tour, and sunset helicopter ride, complete this truly unique stay.
