Valentine's Day

Roses are red, violets are blue, if you haven’t made plans for Valentine’s Day, don’t worry we got you x

Valentine’s Day is all about celebrating love in every form - romantic, platonic, or even a little self-love. It’s the time of year that gives us that warm, fuzzy feeling and inspires us to go the extra mile for those we love through grand gestures or small, heartfelt moments (pro tip: chocolate never fails). No matter what your plans are, be it with a romantic partner, a night with friends, or a ‘Galentine’s Day’ celebration – that’s Valentine’s Day with your gals – we’ve rounded up the top V-Day offers across the city to help you spread the love.

Romantic Dining

No one does romance quite like Banyan Tree Dubai, and this Valentine’s Day is set to be unforgettable. Exclusive set menus await at Alizée Restaurant and Alizée Pool and Beach, making it a perfect occasion to celebrate love. Nestled along the stunning shores of Bluewaters Dubai, savour Alizée Restaurant’s signature French cuisine in its chic interiors or sweep your Valentine off their feet with a private cabana dinner for two at Alizée Pool and Beach.

Another culinary hotspot that’s pulling out all the stops this Valentine’s Day is ALAYA in DIFC, where diners can savour an exclusive ‘Taste of Love’ menu. Guests can explore new flavours including Marrow Beef Tartare, luxurious King Crab Ravioli, an ALAYA rose cake, and even an exclusive Strawberry Rossini cocktail. What’s more, couples and friends alike can capture the moment with an Instagram-worthy setup of a floral arch and glittering fairy lights before continuing the celebration of love with a DJ at LYLA, ALAYA’s bedouin-inspired cocktail lounge.

Romantic Dinner

The heart wants what the heart wants and if that’s a sweet treat then The Lounge at Address Beach Resort has you covered. Throughout February, guests are invited to cosy up in this stylish setting as you tuck into a special ‘Pinch of Love’ afternoon tea. Comprising plenty of sweet and savoury delights, sip on a selection of aromatic teas and coffee or upgrade to a glass of bubbles to toast to the occasion.

If you’re craving perfectly crafted pizzas or hearty pasta dishes this Valentine’s Day, Il Motto Pizzeria is a great shout. Located within JA Ocean View Hotel on JBR, the eatery is always abuzz with a vibrant atmosphere and talented chefs whipping up authentic Italian delights in full view from the open kitchen. Throughout Valentine’s week, couples can enjoy a three-course feast with a bottle of sparkling grape, making for the perfect evening of fun and flavour – that’s amore!

Beef Carpacio

For an enchanting evening straight out of a romance movie, look no further than JA Beach Hotel at JA The Resort. Here, couples can look forward to a private three-course dinner served on the beach with your choice of refreshing beverage pairing. With your feet in the sand and a canopy of stars above, this is the ultimate opportunity to reconnect with your loved one.

Spa Treatment for Two

There are so many ways to show your special someone how much you care, but nothing does the trick quite like a rejuvenating spa treatment for two. The Spa at Address Beach Resort will be offering couples an exclusive package in honour of the season of love, comprising a choice of a 45-minute or 90-minute treatment with access to the stunning infinity pool on level 77. To take your love to new heights, guests can also opt to add a floating hearts breakfast.

Roses and Candles

Romantic Getaways

Go all out this Valentine’s Day and book a romantic getaway, allowing the stresses of everyday life to melt away as you give your undivided attention to your partner. Address Beach Resort invites guests to a luxurious retreat with special perks like a lavish breakfast buffet, dinner at The Beach Grill, Li’Brasil, or The Restaurant, romantic in-room décor, and late checkout all included in the price.

At JA The Resort, romance comes alive with the Blissful Romance Package, offering a dreamy setting for an unforgettable Valentine’s getaway. Imagine strolling hand in hand through the lush 128-acre grounds, savouring intimate dinners at White Orchid or Sette, and relaxing by the resort’s palm-fringed private beach. With sparkling grape on arrival, indulgent massages, and thoughtful touches like chocolates and a romantic turndown service, every moment will feel straight out of a love story.

Couple on the Beach

Couples with an adventurous spirit can enjoy the same package at JA Hatta Fort Hotel, offering 79 rooms, cosy terra cabins and villas featuring breathtaking views, an array of outdoor activities, and exceptional dining options. Nestled in the heart of the majestic Hajar Mountains, JA Hatta Fort Hotel is an idyllic retreat providing tranquillity, adventure, and romance in equal measure.

At the end of the day, the possibilities for celebrating Valentine’s Day with that special someone in Dubai are endless. We hope our top picks have inspired you, and now, all that’s left to do is to choose the spot and ask your valentine – oh, and don’t forget the chocolates!

Lots of love,

Katch xoxo
