Couples Spa Experiences for Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is on the horizon... Whether romantic or universal, we agree that love cannot be expressed in a single day. Because as long as our hearts are open, love is always with us. Especially self-love...

Nevertheless, this occasion may be the perfect opportunity for us to display the love we have for our partners and ourselves in the most beautiful way.

In the face of the busy workload and overflowing schedules of daily life, the value of spending quality and healthy time alone with our loved ones becomes even more prominent. Spas take this value into account and offer specially designed experiences for couples, allowing us to both deepen our connection with our partner and make time for much-needed self-care moments. 

From couples-special suites to wellbeing programs, we have compiled some of the best Spa experiences offering us the comfort of both romance and rejuvenation in togetherness...

Blue Lagoon, Iceland - A Romantic Getaway  

Shimmering among the extinct volcanic formations of Iceland with contemporary Scandinavian architecture and the fairytale hues of the one-of-a-kind Blue Lagoon, Blue Lagoon invites couples to take a two-night respite from the pace of modern life for a retreat full of warmth and wellness with its “A Romantic Getaway” program. It offers accommodation at the Retreat Hotel, as well as exclusive access to the Retreat Lagoon, where we can float alone with our beloved in the privacy of secret water corridors directly from the hotel, and the Retreat Spa, featuring unique facilities such as Lava Spring, Steam Cave and Cold Well. Crowned with daily group yoga sessions and couples-special in-water massages, float therapy and Blue Lagoon’s signature skincare treatments, the retreat also adds a delicious dimension to our romantic getaway by including the Icelandic cuisine of Lava Restaurant and the gourmet tasting feast of Michelin-starred Moss Restaurant.

Euphoria Retreat, Greece - Euphoria Escape for Couples 

Tucked in the mountains of the legendary Peloponnese, Euphoria is a Greek idyll that combines the five elements of nature with ancient therapies, promising us transformational healing experiences. The “Escape for Couples” program, which can be booked with any accommodation inclusive of breakfast, allows us to embark on a romantic and natural self-care journey alone with our other half for two days. As part of the program, Euphoria offers couples access to its unique areas, including the famous Sphere Pool, 25-meter Waterwell and infinity pool, as well as a range of therapies that help us achieve holistic serenity together, from the warm and balancing Byzantine Hammam Ritual to the purifying Speleotherapy (Salt Room) experience and Relaxing Aroma Massage.

Fairmont Quasar, Türkiye - Wine and Roses for Couples 

With its central location overlooking the blue of the Bosphorus and the cultural mosaic of Istanbul, Fairmont Quasar provides a wide selection of treatments for couples in its Willow Stream Spa. Standing out is the “Wine and Roses” ritual, devoted into deepening our love connection with our partner by strengthening our heart chakra with the gentle touch of fresh roses. In the first step of our ritual, we sip sparkling wine in our relaxing rose bath and indulge in the pleasure of spending quality time together. Afterwards, we get invigorated both physically and spiritually through our massage, which combines antioxidant grape seed oil with compassionate rose oil. Optionally, we can make our day even more unforgettable by experiencing our ritual in the VIP suite equipped with a private steam room and jacuzzi. We can even bring our pets with us if we don't want them to stay alone by themselves at home.

Richmond Nua, Türkiye - Perfect Match 

Richmond Nua is a wellness haven, so close to metropolitan Istanbul yet secluded from the white noise of the city. The destination spa, set on the shores of Sapanca Lake and bathed in the colors of nature, is particularly popular for its well-equipped wet areas designed for multifunctional use and its generous array of treatments.
