Enjoying a romantic getaway during the month of February has become a must for enamored lovebirds. With all the options, however, deciding where to go can be a challenge
If you're looking to indulge in candlelit dinners, romantic special events or just snuggling up at a beachfront resort with a view, the tropical beaches of Miami, might be just the ticket. To sweeten the pot, the Miami Beach Convention & Visitors Bureau has just rolled out its eighth annual Miami Romance Month program.
"With its tropical climate, Miami and the Beaches is the perfect backdrop for enjoying romantic experiences, such as leisurely walks through our historic neighborhoods, afternoons spent at local attractions and alfresco dining on the seafront," said William D. Talbert III, CDME, president and CEO of the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau. "For couples, February is also an excellent time to book many services to organize a wedding in Miami. Many of our partners offer packages and attractive promotions exclusively during Miami Romance Month."
The campaign, a part of the "Miami Temptations Program," which was developed in partnership with Citibank, features discounted activities and hotel stays, a list of romantic special events, a wedding showcase and even a travel giveaway. Looking to explore? Here are four ways to maximize your Miami stay:
Special Offers
More than 60 area hotels, attractions, restaurants and weddings providers are offering discounted packages and other deals to visitors throughout February.
For example, soak up the views from your private balcony suite at Trump International Beach Resort Miami and enjoy up to 35 percent off published rates. Or book the Beach Romance Package at the 1930s Hilton Garden Inn Miami South Beach-Royal Polo and you'll enjoy an American breakfast for two, a bottle of red wine and a late check out (until 12 noon.) At the InterContinental Miami, guests can enjoy a candlelight massage, followed by strawberries and chocolate delivered straight to their room with the Miami Romance Package.
