Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and you may still be wondering how you can surprise your partner on this special day of love

Of course, love isn't restricted to dates, but February 14th is a good excuse to exchange kisses, surprises, and gifts, and also to make different plans to get out of your usual routine. 

If you're wondering how to surprise your partner on Valentine's Day, then we're sure these suggestions will help you find the perfect idea.

3 ideas to surprise your partner on Valentine’s Day

Organise a meal or a special dinner

At home, in a restaurant, or outdoors. A special lunch or dinner is always the perfect way to surprise your partner for Valentine's Day. 

If you want to celebrate this day at home, then wait for your partner to arrive home and welcome them with a glass of wine, a nicely set table, and their favourite dish. Some candles and a little music will help you to create a really romantic atmosphere.

If you prefer something a bit more casual (and the weather's nice!) then you could organise an outdoor picnic. Put your favourite snacks, fruit, cheese, and sandwiches in a basket. Take something to drink...sparkling wine is always a good choice. 

Finally, there's the option of booking lunch or dinner at your favourite restaurant. If you want to give your partner a pleasant surprise, choose somewhere different or a place that has been recommended to you, so that you can try some special dishes and treat yourselves to something a little different.

Enjoy a date with a difference

Sometimes the heart of romance is hidden in the little things. 

You don't always need to organise something big or flashy to surprise your partner on Valentine's Day. Just think about the things that make them happy or that have helped you build your life together.

A highly original plan is to go back to a special place where you had your first date, where you proposed, or where you had a special moment to remember.

Why not choose to do a cultural visit to a museum, theatre, or opera, among other things, and enjoy some quality time together as a couple?

Another idea to surprise your partner for Valentine's Day is to discover quirky, romantic spots in your own city or to go on a getaway. 

The more adventurous ones could organise a "treasure hunt", a fun game of clues and messages which lead to a final prize.

And, if you're lucky enough to spend Valentine's Day in a location with a beach and beautiful natural surroundings, such as Mallorca, then your unique romantic date can reach a whole new level. The sunsets on our island are truly exceptional, and watching them overlooking the sea or in the Sierra de la Tramuntana mountains could be an ideal moment to propose to the person you love!

Plan a mini-holiday in Mallorca 
 

Most people who are looking for ways to surprise their partner on Valentine's Day prefer not to give the typical gifts, such as bouquets of flowers, chocolates, perfumes, ties, and the like.

Instead, they focus on experiences to create unforgettable moments with.

Organising a trip or a mini-holiday is always a great option to consider on this special date, and it'll be a great surprise as long as your partner doesn't discover what you're up to! 

The most important thing of all is to spend a few days away without any distractions and to get away from the daily routine.


And where should you spend those special days? Well, we would highly recommend Mallorca! Want to know why?

To begin with, because our island has so many attractions. The capital Palma is well worth a visit, and there are many small, but charming, villages that are ideal for a getaway.

In Mallorca, you'll also find pretty coves and beautiful natural surroundings where you can spend a romantic day out.  

And, if you like adventure sports, you can take part in activities such as hot air ballooning, scuba diving, or sailing around the island in a catamaran.

But that's not all! Mallorca has truly unique cuisine, with haute cuisine restaurants where you can enjoy exceptional dishes.

Or, if you prefer, why not organise a lovely picnic on one of the island's many beaches and enjoy the sunset with your partner?

We also need to highlight the excellent variety and quality of hotels on the island - one of the best in the world.
