Romantic February Vacation Ideas for 2023

By: Greg Mattson, ERV Editor - Updated: Aug 2, 2022   

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!

Here's ERV's choices for February 2023 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.

The Caribbean in February

• Caribbean Resorts from $93/pp/night - Sick and tired of winter? One of the best hot vacation spots in February is the Caribbean. Hurricane season is over, it's convenient (just a few hours away by air from most points in the USA), and reliably warm. Despite being high-season, many romantic destinations in the Caribbean can be affordable, and there are plenty of all inclusive February vacation deals being offered.

Quebec City

• Quebec City Romantic Inns and Small Hotels - there's lots to see and do for couples who travel to Quebec City in February, and especially this month as that's when the city celebrates it's Winter Carnival. Book early, because most  fill quickly for the mid-winter festivities. Quebec City in the winter is gorgeous. The weather is cold, but there's more opportunity to cuddle up and really enjoy this historic, intimate and very European small city. It's one of the most romantic February vacations we can recommend!

Video: Top 10 Best February Vacation Spots

Here's another in our series of travel videos: Warm Weather Vacation Spots in February. Whether it's a break from winter, planning a honeymoon or just want a romantic vacation on the beach in February 2023, have a look at these places to travel to in late winter:

Florida Keys in February

With less than 2 inches of precipitation on average during the month, Key West, FL is one of the best places to holiday in Florida (and the U.S.!) in February. Expect an average daytime high temp of 75 F, with the water temperature around 70 F. Occasionally, Northern cold fronts can creep down and bring overnight freezing temps to much of the state...except the Keys! 

Poolside Sun in February at the Southernmost Hotel, Key West FL

Romantic Hotel for Your February Vacation in Key West: 

• The Southernmost Hotel - at the quiet end of Duval Street, this romantic inn is custom made for couples getaways in the Keys. They've got 2 pools (including a "quiet pool for adults" and a great pool bar with friendly staff and tasty pina coladas!), amenity-filled & updated rooms, and easy access to the beach. 2022 ERV Rating* for Romantic Florida Keys Hotels: 90% - Excellent.

More Romantic February Vacation Ideas:

Dubai - Warm & Exotic February Vacation Spot

Romantic Sunset in Carmel, California

• Exotic & Romantic February Vacation in Dubai - it's in the Middle East, but don't worry, Dubai is perhaps the safest destination in that part of the world. It's a long flight from the U.S. or Canada, but it is a travel experience not to be missed. February is a great time to go to Dubai because temperatures are quite comfortable (daytime highs of around 25 C or 77 F) and humidity is low compared to other times of the year.

• Valentines Day Cruise Deals - February is a good month for a warm winter cruise in the Caribbean or South Pacific. Cruisecompete.com has cruises just for lovebirds in February (and over 100 agencies bid to give you the lowest quote).

• Aston at the Whaler on Kaanapali Beach, Maui - we know lots of travellers who have had fantastic February vacations in Maui. Whale-watching season is at it's best, weather is dependably good (highs of 73 F), and it's just before the spring break season.

• Valentines Day Getaways to Carmel, California - come to this part of the Central California Coast in mid-February 2023, and you'll find low season discounts, fewer tourists, and the rugged California coast that's just as beautiful year-round.

• Bahamas Beach Vacations in February - The Bahamas has miles and miles of white and pink sand beaches! The February weather is hot, and so are the deals on a romantic all-inclusive resort vacation in February 2023.  

• South Padre Island - this attractive destination on the Texas Gulf Coast enjoys high temps of about 71 F during the month, and usually low amounts of rain. But the best reason to plan on this month? It's a romantic February vacation before the Spring Break crowds arrive in March!
