There’s no doubt that travel and romance go hand in hand. Chemistry is crucial for people to enjoy a holiday together, and who better to explore the unexplored than with your loved one? And with Valentine’s Day around the corner, why not express your affection for the love of your life whilst on a vacation in a drool-worthy destination? Although love doesn’t understand dates, #MakeSpaceForLove this V-day by treating yourselves to an exquisite experience tailor-made to set your hearts aflutter!
So, where should you head for Valentine’s Day?
For the ultimate romantic getaway, MakeMyTrip is sending lucky couples to romantic properties for them to enjoy an all-expenses-paid 3 days, 2 nights holiday this Valentine’s Day. All you have to do is participate in their contest.
Whether you’re a mountain goat yearning for a weekend in the Himalayas, a lover of the sea or are looking for luxury mixed with adventure, they have you covered. These are the experiences that you and your S.O. can make the most of this Valentine’s Day:
1. Unpack your bags in an igloo in Manali
If you’ve never been to or have outgrown Manali as a destination, you’re in for a treat! Snuggle up inside an igloo and wake up to the sun dipping its feet in the sky with a hot cuppa in hand. Light up a bonfire any time of the day and never let the dropping degrees affect you. The host also provides facilities for you to go skiing, sledging and tube sliding. Does it get any better than this?
2. Go glamping in Manali
If you’re in the mood for a bit of adventure but don’t wish to compromise on homely comforts, a glamping vacay is just what you need. Unwind in the cosy environs of a geodesic camp oozing with opulence, with the serene landscape of the Himalayas at your doorstep. Share your V-day vacay with the local community near the property, for this geodesic camp is situated in Hampta village, away from the crowded streets of Manali. Get packing!
3. Set sail on a houseboat in Kerala
Get on the good side of your partner and enjoy an opulent voyage aboard a traditional houseboat special to the backwaters of Kerala. Admire breathtaking vistas of palm-fringed villages as you dine on deck while your boat meanders along the tranquil backwaters. This is the perfect plan if you’re looking for warm weather and serene skies.
Where else can you go for a romantic sojourn?
The best memories are made while travelling, so this Valentine’s Day, give the usual plans a pass and spend some quality time with your better half in the arms of a grandiose holiday home. Movie and dinner dates can happen any day of the week, but living in a homestay or a villa will truly make your Valentine’s Day special.
If you’re looking for a lavish getaway and wish to enjoy the choicest amenities, a private villa is your best bet. Take a break from your busy lives in the city and recharge your batteries in solitude where chirping birds and whistling leaves will keep you company. Here’s what you can expect: swimming pools, recreational areas, well-maintained gardens, rooftop lounges, the works. A villa with brilliant architecture and Insta-worthy interiors all to yourself–this surely beats all other plans you have in mind.
If you prefer a more localised stay and wish to bond with native communities, head straight to a homestay, each corner of which spells out elegance. Find home away from home in an abode run by a family who’ll leave no stone unturned to ensure you have an unparalleled holiday experience.
A gorgeous villa overlooking the ocean in Goa, a lush farmhouse in the upper reaches of Munnar, a colonial-style villa in Kodaikanal, or a cosy homestay with sweeping views of tea gardens in Coonoor – the options are endless! You can even kickback in a plush farmhouse with unhindered views of the mountains in Darjeeling or a hilly homestay in Nainital, every inch of which is designed to impress. No matter where you go, be safe in the knowledge that unspoiled comfort awaits your arrival.
Head over to the MakeMyTrip app and scroll through a comprehensive list of options in the villas and apartments section. Book a retreat that appeals to you the most and revel in luxuries customised for lovebirds. If you don’t feel like going too far from home, you can even book a property close to you. There is no dearth of choices!
