Fall in love...in Marbella

Spend Valentine's Day with the one you love here on the Costa del Sol

Fall in love...in Marbella

Are you spending Valentine’s Day with the one you love in Marbella this year? There is so much that you can do to make the day romantic and special from the simplest and most common gift of flowers to a lavish overnight stay in a five star hotel with gourmet dinner, candles and an extravagant gift! Of course you can also pitch somewhere in between like most of us will be doing.

Although it may not be known as an area highly associated with love – Marbella and its surrounding areas offer natural beauty, a variety of gift ideas and much more! We’ve even seen our fair share of celebrities hitting the South of Spain to celebrate their love for one another. John Lennon and Yoko Ono are probably the most famous couple to actually get married here on the coast, in Gibraltar but two secret agents from the infamous Bond films have also began their married life on the Rock – Roger Moore honeymooned there and Sean Connery married both his first wife and his current wife in Gibraltar.

Although you may already be married or you may not even be thinking that far ahead… its still a good idea to plan something for the most romantic day in the calendar for your beloved.

If you are the type to pick up some flowers on the way home from work, then why not make a little more effort this year? Order a gorgeous bouquet from one of the renowned florists including Flor Valentin, Deseos and Earthscent.

However, if you want to splash out on something your partner will really appreciate, (and we're hinting to the men here...) then Nina B in Nueva Andalucia and Twist Boutique in San Pedro have some fantastic bits that your partner will surely love. The staff are very helpful and will be able to assist you in choosing the right item.

For those who prefer to treat yourself and your partner then why not choose to wine and dine at one of Marbella’s top restaurants – many of whom offer sumptuous Valentine’s menus – and spend the evening gazing at each other over candlelight. Enjoy champagne cocktails overlooking the beach, sample the food of love at an Italian restaurant or head a little inland to a hidden gem of a restaurant that has wonderful views of the coast and serves delicious cuisine.

 

There is of course the option to really push the boat out and declare your love in an extravagant way – book a romantic weekend in one of Marbella’s top hotels and treat yourselves to couples massage, romantic walks on the beach at dusk, and a gorgeous hotel suite filled with petals to invoke your passionate side. The Sunny Dom Hotel are offering their guests a wonderful weekend complete with champagne, chocolates and roses on arrival.
