Everyone is in need of a break from the persistent cold, and potentially strain, of January. February can serve as a time to renew love and offer the perfect opportunity to travel with your companions. From the Caribbean to the Mediterranean and Hawaii, our culinary travel experts have compiled a list of the most recommended dates, offering stunning scenery, breathtaking views, and an unforgettable food and drink experience
Select the desired island or coastline and devise a journey that prioritizes social interactions rather than local food and drink on the beach or coast. Start the day with a traditional hot chocolate drink on ice at Street829Exchange; enjoy live music in the open air on Hawaii; wander cobblestone streets to experience Croatia’s culture and cuisine; or have an impromptu glass of wine on top overlooking Palermo
In Waikiki, Dubrovnik, Isola d’Elba, and the West Indies, dining at sea is possible with dinner served on terraces that are like fairytales, in private coves where you can relax in candlelit dining rooms or on patios under the stars. Admire specialty foods from France and Italy, such as a 70-year-old recipe for bouillabaisse in Marseille and homemade focaccia and wine made on-site in Elba, or pasta with the protected local Genovese pesto in Portofino
The ultimate dinner spots provide daytime couples with exciting things to do, too. Travel to Spain or Mexico, explore an olive grove and vineyard in Mallorca, or indulge in taqueria hopping in Cancn. Build your own chocolate bars and indulge in spa treatments at Street or Lucia. After trying rums from around the world in Street829Exchange Maarten, it’s time to learn how to roll cigars
In the end, you can indulge in artisanal gelato or an affogato in Tuscany, sacred Mayan honey in the Mexican Riviera, or almond granita in Sicily. Dubrovnik’s Street is the perfect spot for a night in with Prosecco and dancing, while Honolulu offers Mai Tais and tiki torches and Creole cooking classes with rum punch. These are enticing journeys to book for the duo, who deserve a fantastic vacation
