Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to whisk your partner away to a dream destination.

Whether you prefer the enchantment of a fabled city or the serenity of a secluded beach, we have a few recommendations to light the flame of romance.

Of course, there’s no more romantic mode of travel than private aviation. Our flight crews will help set the stage for a perfect couple’s weekend. Instead of waiting in lines and suffering travel delays, picture champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a luxury airframe ready to depart on your schedule.

Contact our flight coordinators to begin planning your Valentine’s Day getaways. Here are five destinations we fall in love with every time we visit.

Paris, France

There’s no city more synonymous with romance than Paris. The charming side streets, the elegant facades, the art, the history — it will always be the perfect choice for a couple’s weekend.

Staying at the opulent Le Meurice, you’ll be surrounded by classic Parisian charm with a view overlooking the Tuileries Garden. A stroll along the Canal Saint-Martin is a perfect way to spend an afternoon — stop at Le Verre Volé for a glass of wine.

For an over-the-top romantic dinner, Le Jules Verne, on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower, has unmatched views of the city and a menu of exquisite French cuisine. For something less imposing, but just as charming, snag a cozy table at Le Bistrot Paul Bert for steak frites and tarte tatin.

Santorini, Greece

With its iconic white-washed buildings and stunning sunsets, Santorini is a picturesque backdrop for romance. At Katikies Hotel, couples enjoy panoramic views of the Aegean perched on a seaside cliff. The hotel’s restaurant, Botrini’s, offers a tasting menu called “Peripatos”, meant to evoke a leisurely walk through the Greek countryside. Their Greek wine list is second to none.

A private sunset catamaran cruise around the island is the perfect way to share a magical moment with your partner. And if Santorini feels too touristy for your liking, we can suggest some lesser-known Greek islands instead.

Maui, Hawaii

Maui is a tropical paradise with the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. The Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea offers oceanfront accommodations and world-class service. Mama’s Fish House is a legendary restaurant, featuring local seafood caught daily and a romantic beachfront setting.

For an unforgettable experience, take a helicopter tour of Maui’s verdant landscapes, waterfalls, and volcanic craters. Then relax on Wailea Beach, widely considered to be one of the best on the island. Its crystal waters are perfect for swimming and snorkeling.

Kyoto, Japan

Japan might not immediately spring to mind as a romantic destination. But Kyoto, the old imperial capital, is a city where tradition and tranquility come together to create a magical atmosphere. Stay at Suiran, a Luxury Collection Hotel, located along the serene Hozu River, and indulge in their traditional onsen spring baths.

Experience the pinnacle of Japanese cuisine with a traditional kaiseki meal at Hyotei, a 400-year-old tea house near the Nanzen-ji Temple. Then explore the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest for a surreal and romantic walk amidst Kyoto’s natural beauty.

Charleston, South Carolina

With its mix of Southern charm and historic elegance, Charleston may be the most romantic city in America. Stay at Wentworth Mansion, a palatial 1880s residence in the heart of the city. For romantic dining, Husk is the standard bearer for Southern cuisine set in a cozy, historic setting. FIG is another great option, known for its farm-to-table dishes with an emphasis on local, seasonal ingredients.

Explore the city’s cobblestone streets, historic homes, and lush gardens. A horse-drawn carriage ride through the historic district is the perfect way to end a romantic day.
