Valentine’s Day 2027 lands on a Sunday — which means it’s practically built for a long weekend, or an excuse to turn the whole week into a getaway. Wherever you and your Valentine want to spend it, Divi has a resort built for how you actually like to vacation, whether that’s a slow dinner by the water, a dive into something new together, or a week where the only real decision is what to order next. Here’s where to go, depending on what kind of couple you are
For the Foodies and Beach Lovers: Aruba
If your idea of romance is a long dinner followed by a long walk on a long, easy beach, Aruba is hard to beat. Divi’s three Aruba resorts — Divi Village Golf & Beach Resort, Divi Dutch Village, and Divi Aruba Phoenix Beach Resort — all sit along the island’s Eagle Beach and Palm Beach corridor, close enough to the high-rise district’s restaurant scene to make dinner reservations part of the plan, but relaxed enough that you can spend the whole day barely leaving the sand. Split your stay between the resort’s own dining and a night or two exploring Palm Beach’s restaurant row, and you’ve got a Valentine’s trip built around two things: good food and good water.
For the Adults-Only, All-In Couple: St. Croix
Some couples don’t want dinner reservations and sightseeing — they want to eat, drink, and relax without lifting a finger, and they want it to just be the two of you. Carina Bay, Divi’s adults-only, all-inclusive resort on St. Croix, is built exactly for that: casino nights, all-inclusive dining and drinks, and a resort-wide atmosphere with no kids in the mix. And because St. Croix is part of the U.S. Virgin Islands, U.S. citizens don’t need a passport to get there — one less thing standing between you and a Valentine’s trip that’s entirely about the two of you.
For the Adventure-Loving Couple: Bonaire
For couples who’d rather spend Valentine’s Day underwater than at a table, Bonaire is the pick. The island is one of the top shore-diving destinations in the world, with much of its coastline protected as a marine park, and Flamingo Beach Resort puts you right on the calm, current-free water that makes it so easy to dive here — no boat required for many of the island’s best sites. Spend the day exploring reefs together and the evening watching the sunset from the beach; it’s a Valentine’s trip for couples who bond over doing something, not just relaxing.
For the Rum-and-Nightlife Couple: Barbados
If your version of romance includes live music, a good rum cocktail, and somewhere to walk to after dinner, Divi Southwinds Beach Resort puts you right in the middle of it. The resort sits on Dover Beach in the heart of St. Lawrence Gap, Barbados’s liveliest strip of restaurants, bars, and nightlife on the South Coast, with oceanfront dining at pureocean right on property. It’s an easy trip to build a Valentine’s evening around — a sunset dinner by the water, then a short walk into the Gap for the rest of the night.
For the Couple Who Can’t Decide: St. Maarten
Some couples want a beach day. Some want a casino night. Some want French food for dinner. St. Maarten lets you have all three without ever repacking a bag — Divi Little Bay sits on the Dutch side, close to nightlife and casinos, with the French side’s bistros and beaches just a short drive away. It’s genuinely two different countries and two different vibes in one trip, which makes it a good fit for couples who’d rather have some variety than settle on one kind of day.
However you and your Valentine like to spend a getaway, Divi has a resort for it. Explore Divi Resorts across Aruba, St. Croix, Bonaire, Barbados, and St. Maarten, and start planning your 2027 Valentine’s trip — with Feb 14 falling on a Sunday, the best rooms won’t stay open long.
