2 Last-Minute Valentine’s Day Getaway Ideas for Parents

Life is busy for all of us, so it’s super easy to let something like planning a special treat for your special someone slip by you, especially for parents. But if you’ve waited till the last minute, you don’t have to spend a fortune on overpriced flowers that will only last a few days. Instead, check out these last-minute vacation spots that will give you and your loved one memories to last far longer.

Head to Ocala in Central Florida where you can book a quiet couple’s retreat in the heart of Florida’s horse country at Equestrian Hotel. This 248-room property is located in World Equestrian Center, but you don’t have to be a horse lover to enjoy the surrounding beauty and elegant accommodations — although a romantic horseback ride for Valentine’s Day would be a lovely way to pass the time! There are 13 different dining options, including four concept restaurants led by James Beard-recognized chefs and an indulgent Couples Retreat package at the on-site spa.

On the opposite coast you’ll find a high-energy Valentine’s Day getaway at Andaz West Hollywood in Los Angeles. Located on the Sunset Strip, this iconic hotel (its roots are strong in the local rock n’ roll scene) will host an all-night celebration filled with good music, tasty food and drinks, and good vibes. By day, you can enjoy stunning views of the city and relax poolside or take in some local sites.
