5 Creative Ways to Spend Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day gives you a great opportunity to sharpen your romance skills. This year try something different and unforgettable. Leave behind the traditional dinner date, flowers and chocolates. Do something spontaneous, something your partner would never expect. Need some ideas? Here are five creative ways to woo your partner on Valentine’s Day.

Travel: Valentine’s Day lands on a Thursday this year so why not take a long weekend to celebrate love. Travel to a place that you both can really relax and enjoy each other. Our suggestion is Bald Head Island. No cars, no cares, just the two of you enjoying the island.

Dinner by two: This requires no reservations. Create a menu with your favorite foods and cook a romantic meal together. A little wine, some music playing in the background and the two of you having fun in the kitchen of your Bald Head Island vacation rental.

Scavenger Hunt: Gifts are always good but when hidden they are even better! Put together a scavenger hunt either in your vacation rental or use the whole island. You have the beach and the maritime forest to work with. Keep the clues easy and fun. Make sure to remember where you hid the item. 

Give in: Yes, give in to your partner. Participate in something that they are passionate about, whether your good at it or not. This may mean spending the day on the golf course or taking a yoga class. You’ll not only learn more about your partner, but it will bring you both closer together.

Have an Adventure: This is not hard to do on this beautiful island. Rent kayaks and glide through the creek coming within feet of egrets and herons. Experience the thrill of sailing or take a kiteboard lesson together. Experiencing something new with your partner can create an incredible connection.

Valentine’s Day is all about spending time with the one you love. What better way to spend it than on Bald Head Island!
