February is a great month to travel. Especially for couples in northern climates, it's a chance to get away from winter and find a nice beach where the weather is hot!

February in the Caribbean is Reliably Warm & Sunny

Here's ERV's choices for February 2024 romantic destinations, including Valentines Day getaways, and a video of trips you can take in February along with related travel information like high temps, hours of sunshine, and so forth. Plus: we just had to list a destination that, while certainly not warm, is one of the best places in February to really experience a romantic winter getaway.
