From breakfast in bed to a sunset cruise around the island, these are some of our favorite ways to spend Valentine’s Day with your sweetheart:
1. Start your Valentine’s Day with breakfast in bed
Starting your Valentine’s Day with breakfast in bed can be a great way to begin the day with your loved one. It’s a simple yet romantic gesture that shows you care and want to make the day special. It’s a classic Valentine’s Day tradition.
How can you make it even more memorable in your Casiola vacation rental? Surprise your partner by decorating the bedroom with rose petals or an arbor made from flowers. Buy or make some fresh croissants in your fully equipped kitchen. Serve a bottle of champagne, chocolates and other treats like pastries and fresh fruit. Set up a table outside the room if you have one available so that you can dine together outside on this lovely day! Or order a Valentine’s Breakfast Basket with Picnic Aruba (also available for delivery).
2. Do something adventurous
If you’re looking for something a little more adventurous than a traditional dinner and a movie, then you’ll love the next Valentine’s Day ideas! There are plenty of ways to get your adrenaline pumping this Valentine’s Day. Aruba offers many adventurous activities for couples looking to add some excitement to their Valentine’s Day celebration.
