Valentine’s Day isn’t just a date on the calendar this year — it’s an excuse to pack a bag, escape the routine, and celebrate love somewhere unforgettable. With travel restrictions easing and a long weekend perfectly aligned with the season of romance, Indian couples are saying yes to experiences over things. Riding this wave of wanderlust, Thomas Cook (India) Limited and SOTC Travel have unveiled a thoughtfully curated portfolio of Valentine’s Day holidays, blending romance, adventure, luxury and safety — all at attractive price points.
From spontaneous long weekend escapes to postponed honeymoons finally finding their moment, this Valentine’s lineup is designed to make love stories travel-ready.
1. Long Weekend Love: Where Couples Are Heading This Valentine’s
With Valentine’s Day falling on a Friday, couples are seizing the opportunity to stretch celebrations into a relaxed long weekend. Domestic favourites continue to charm — think sun-soaked Goa, the serene landscapes of Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh, the royal romance of Rajasthan, misty retreats in Uttarakhand and the North East, and soulful escapes to Coorg, Ooty, Pondicherry and the Andamans.
For those ready to cross borders, international romance is back on the wishlist with destinations like the Maldives, Switzerland, Turkey, Egypt, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Abu Dhabi and Dubai, including visits to Expo 2020 adding an extra spark to the journey.
2. Honeymoons, Reimagined — Finally
With recent variants having delayed wedding travel plans, Valentine’s Day 2026 is also seeing strong demand from the honeymoon segment. Thomas Cook and SOTC’s offerings cleverly bridge both romantic getaways and full-fledged honeymoons, allowing newlyweds to celebrate love without compromise — whether that means lounging in overwater villas or discovering historic cities hand in hand.
3. Experiences That Go Beyond Candlelight Dinners
These Valentine’s holidays are built around experiences that couples actually remember. Think private beach dining, couple spa and wellness rituals, wine tastings, and curated moments designed for intimacy.
For adventurous pairs, the romance comes with adrenaline — yachting, water and winter sports, trekking, camping, safari drives and jungle experiences ensure love stories come with a dash of thrill.
4. Stay Somewhere as Unique as Your Love Story
Accommodation is a major highlight this season. Couples can choose from tree-top stays, cave hotels, igloos, private villas, heritage havelis, palaces, and ultra-luxury resorts — each offering its own version of romance, privacy and indulgence.
5. Grand Gestures, Literally
To make Valentine’s celebrations truly cinematic, Thomas Cook and SOTC are offering personalised touches like exclusive transfers and sightseeing experiences via limousine, vintage car, Harley Davidson or even helicopter rides. Because sometimes, love deserves a dramatic entrance.
6. Value, Deals and Thoughtful Pricing
Romance doesn’t have to break the bank. These Valentine’s Day packages come with special offers, discounts and value-added deals, making luxury and exclusivity more accessible for couples planning a meaningful escape.
7. Safety First, Always
To restore confidence in travel, all itineraries are backed by the “Assured” Safe Travel Program, developed in association with Apollo Clinics, ensuring stringent safety protocols across every touchpoint. Additionally, TravShield, an upgraded safety commitment, includes only vaccinated staff and co-passengers, reinforcing peace of mind for travellers navigating the post-pandemic world.
