Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is approaching... and with it, that famous question that comes up every year: "What would really make them happy?" Between the classic bouquet of flowers, impromptu candlelit dinners, or overused gifts, finding the idea that stands out can become a real headache.

This year, why not aim for the unforgettable? The gift that creates a memory, a moment, an escape from time. The one that makes you say: "It was perfect... when are we doing it again?"

To inspire you, here is our Top 5 of the best gift ideas for Valentine's Day, selected for their romance, their ability to create a bond... and their guaranteed 'wow' effect. At the top of the list, the must-have experience: a Van der Valk wellness stay, of course!

1. Offer a wellness weekend at the Van der Valk: the ultimate Valentine's Day gift 💖

When Valentine's Day means relaxation, cocooning, and precious moments, it's hard to beat a stay at the Van der Valk. A gift that combines romance, escape... and a touch of accessible luxury.

A timeless getaway

Gifting a night or weekend at the hotel is offering much more than just a room. It's offering:

  • time to reconnect,

  • an elegant and soothing environment,

  • an atmosphere that breaks from the everyday,

  • that extra soul that turns a simple stay into a true moment of togetherness.

A wellness space designed for relaxation

Does your partner love spas? You too? Perfect.
The Van der Valk wellness center is the ideal place to disconnect together:

  • sauna,

  • heated pool,

  • hammam,

  • jacuzzi,

  • relaxation area,

  • treatments and massages available by reservation.

Enough to feel really like you're on vacation, even for 24 or 48 hours.

A romantic dinner without any worries

The stay can easily include:

  • a gourmet dinner in our restaurant,

  • a glass of bubbles to start the evening,

  • a dessert to share (or not!) to end on a sweet note.

A perfect moment to celebrate your love.

An easy gift to give with a gift card

You don't know your partner's availability yet?
The Van der Valk gift card allows you to offer:

  • a flexible amount,

  • a wellness package,

  • a turnkey romantic stay.

Simple, elegant, and above all, highly appreciated.

In short: if you want to make Valentine's Day truly special, the Van der Valk wellness weekend remains by far the best gift idea. Romantic, memorable, all-in-one... the perfect pleasure for two.

2. A gourmet gift box to share: a celebration of the senses 🍾

If you prefer to celebrate Valentine's Day at home or extend the experience after your stay, a high-end culinary box is a refined and intimate idea.

For lovers of good things

Consider a box that includes:

  • a bottle of champagne or a fine wine,

  • artisan chocolates,

  • a selection of gourmet products (truffle, foie gras, premium oils, reinvented tapas),

  • a scented candle to set the mood.

The goal? Create a cozy, warm, and gourmet moment to savor together.

A perfect alternative to the restaurant

The gourmet gift box allows you to:

  • avoid the February 14th crowds,

  • enjoy a meal prepared at your own pace,

  • share a cozy evening tête-à-tête.

And if you combine this box with a Van der Valk stay, you have the complete package: relaxation, well-being, and culinary delight.

3. An activity to experience together: create a lasting memory 🎨

Giving a material gift is nice... but offering a moment to experience together creates a lasting memory. Here are some experience ideas to strengthen your bond:

Fun and creative workshops

  • pottery workshop (the famous romantic remake from Ghost 😉),

  • perfume creation workshop,

  • cocktail workshop,

  • cooking or pastry workshop.

These experiences allow you to laugh, learn, create... and leave with something made together.

An original outing

If you prefer something more dynamic:

  • an escape game,

  • wine tasting,

  • a dance class (salsa, bachata, tango),

  • a guided hike or a nature walk.

The goal: to offer you a moment that breaks from the ordinary, something you might not have thought of doing alone.

The perfect combo

Many couples choose to give a workshop + a Van der Valk stay for a complete weekend: a fun activity, followed by a relaxing moment and a pleasant night at the hotel. The winning duo.

4. A symbolic and personalized piece of jewelry 💍

Valentine's Day is the perfect occasion to give jewelry... but not just any kind.
The important thing is to choose something symbolic, delicate, and possibly personalized.

Some elegant ideas

  • a bracelet engraved with an important date,

  • a minimalist pendant,

  • a fine ring,

  • elegant earrings,

  • a watch with a message engraved on the back.

Personalized jewelry has a particular charm: they last, they accompany, they tell a story.

Jewelry as a souvenir of a romantic stay

Many couples like to associate their gift with a specific moment.
Giving jewelry during a Van der Valk stay, after a massage or during a romantic dinner... it's a sure way to create a precious memory, rooted in an exceptional setting.

5. A wellness gift box to extend the spa effects 🧖‍♀️🧖‍♂️

Do you want to give a gift that calls for cocooning, relaxation, and gentleness?
A carefully selected wellness gift box is perfect for extending the zen atmosphere of a wellness weekend.

A soft gift box

Choose products:

  • natural or organic,

  • with relaxing scents (lavender, rose, ylang-ylang, eucalyptus),

  • suitable for bathing and body care.

For example:

  • bath salts,

  • massage oils,

  • scented candles,

  • premium moisturizing cream,

  • pillow mist for sweet dreams.

The romantic little extra

Slip in a handwritten note, a memory of your couple, or even a printed invitation for your wellness stay at Van der Valk.
It's simple, but incredibly effective.
