Fortuitously, Valentine’s Day falls on a Friday this year (for the first time in 11 years!). So there’s no excuse but to whisk your loved one away for the weekend. And Condé Nast Johansens is full of great ideas and recommendations for some of the best weekend getaways.

How about the city of love, Paris? The sun-drenched beaches of Greece? Or the watery wonderland of Venice? But perhaps the most seductive city of all, Rome, where the legend of St Valentine began.

Let’s not forget the UK, where you can spend quality time kicking back in tranquil, photo-pretty countryside, enhanced by a pampering spa treatment or two, followed by a candlelit dinner. However, for urban urchins the Experts at Condé Nast Johansens have uncovered some gems in a number of iconic US cities where treats such as lavish diamond massages consisting of diamond infused oils await. How about New York? Chicago? Washington D.C.? Boston?

For something a little more exotic, Condé Nast Johansens has a selection of once-in-a-lifetime retreats in the far-flung corners of the earth. Check out the awesome beauty of the Maldives, invigorating sights and sounds of India or maybe some Caribbean colour.

If you’re thinking of popping the question this Valentine’s Day browse through Condé Nast Johansens collection of hopelessly romantic places. With access to some of the greatest venues, finest hotels and trend-setting resorts around the world, Condé Nast Johansens can point you in the right direction.
