What’s a better way to show that special someone how special they are for Valentine’s Day, than to whisk them away from everything for a romantic dinner or unforgettable weekend? Besides, time spent doing something (or nothing) together, alongside good food, good view, and good company is similar to saying- “I want to spend all my days with you.”
Whether you’ve been together for three months or three decades, it’s no secret that coming up with some great Valentine’s Day ideas can be stressful. That’s true in normal times—but perhaps even more so amid the new normal.
So let us help you find a romantic, safe, right, up and ready getaway to bring your special someone for the V day!
- Bella Montana (Sacobia, Bamban)

Any couple would love to have a moment of their own. This farm, tucked away in the foothills of Sacobia, Bamban will definitely give you a romantic space for you to create good memories of each other.

- Cafe Serendipitale (Angeles City, Pampanga)
This cafe’s open roof design just makes you want to dine and dance under the starry skies like there’s no one around but the two of you. Set a romantic date here while enjoying good food and drinks (they really have this good cheese cake) plus an atmosphere that just simply freezes time and let’s the two of you on suspension.
Did you know it’s the first dental cafe in Pampanga as well? It’s attached to the Smile Designer Avenue clinic which uses state of the art tech for their dental services. And they said dental health and sweets can’t be friends? Ain’t that neat!
Plan ahead, maybe even get dental care before the date 😉
