Plan The Perfect Valentine's Day In Miami

What’s more romantic than a warm and sunny winter beach getaway in Miami for Valentine’s Day? Whether you’re traveling from colder climes or a local in the mood for a romantic staycation, here’s how to spend the perfect Valentine’s Day in Miami.

Romance Under the Stars at the Venetian Pool

Enjoy the perfect dinner date in Coral Gables at the Venetian Pool at their annual Romance Under the Stars event. With a Polynesian Lover’s Luau theme, you and your valentine will savor a romantic three-course meal outdoors near the picturesque pool and coral rock quarry. Dress in your best luau-themed outfits and pose together for a special souvenir photo. The event is strictly limited to ensure social distancing, so book your tickets in advance.

Valentine’s Day Concert & Bay Cruise at Deering Estate

Deering Estate invites you to its sprawling bayside grounds on Valentine’s Day for two special events. By day, hop aboard the Pelican Skipper, a 45-foot Corinthian catamaran, for an hour-long champagne cruise along the bay, with departures at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. By night, enjoy their Moonlight & Music Valentine’s Day Concert, starting at 8 p.m. Bring a blanket and lawn chairs to enjoy the musical stylings of Miami jazz singer Melinda Rose with an opening performance by Leesa Richards. You’re welcome to pack your own picnic or purchase food and drink on site from Mateo’s Pizza, Cuban Guys and other vendors.

Vizcaya Late Valentine’s

The opulent Vizcaya Museum & Gardens is staying open late on Valentine’s Day for a soiree across its grounds, starting at 5 p.m. Stroll through the formal gardens, explore the Main House at twilight or simply find a bench along the East Terrace grotto overlooking Biscayne Bay beneath the moonlight. You can even opt to add a special Vizcaya-curated gift to your ticket for a sweet surprise for your valentine. Vizcaya is romantic anytime of year, so on Valentine’s Day it will be positively swoon-worthy.

Check into Romance at Area Hotels

From lavish oceanfront resorts to boutique hideaways and stylish budget-friendly retreats, an overnight at one of Miami’s spectacular hotels promises to be a romantic way to spend Valentine’s Day. Pair your stay with poolside dips with your sweetie, a couple’s spa therapy session and dinner al fresco beneath the stars and palm trees. Find romance-inspired amenities, services and special offers, as well as Valentine’s menus at hotel restaurants and bars (enjoy onsite or from the privacy of your guest room). Whether it’s champagne on ice or a bed covered in rose petals, setting the mood for romance comes naturally in Miami.

Romantic Dinner For Two
