Romantic Weekend Getaways in California

Life has a tendency to be hectic. It also has a tendency to feel all-consuming, distracting and just a little bit maddening. It’s important to make time for fun and relaxing, but it’s also important to make the time to do both of these things with that special someone in your life. Why not plan a relaxing and romantic weekend getaway with your partner? Here are some suggestions for romantic California getaways.

Catalina Island

Go on an island adventure to get away from it all. Catalina Island is only 22 miles away from the mainland, this island is perfect for a nice weekend escape. This island is so simple and relaxed there isn’t even a need for traffic lights (seriously, there isn’t even a single traffic light on the island).

Stay at Mt. Ada in Avalon where you will be treated like royalty and enjoy a view looking over Avalon Bay. The guests at this fine hotel have access to a pool, hot tub, tennis court, golf and a historical casino. The stay also includes food amenities (breakfast, lunch and evening appetizers and wine, as well as a "butler’s pantry" stocked with snacks). As if all of this wasn’t enough, you will also have access to a golf cart to get around the island during your stay. All of this and many more luxuries await you at the Mt. Ada hotel. 

Ventana Campground in Big Sur

Forget the hustle and bustle of city life and escape with your significant other to the great outdoors. The Ventana campground offers both a simple camping option (includes a picnic table, camp fire and an area where you can set up your own tent) and a glamping option (safari style tent with a king sized bed and other hotel-like amenities). The campsite is located near scenic and conventional trails that lead to restaurants, delis, gift shops and more. This is the perfect romantic getaway for nature enthusiasts located near several hiking trails. 

Newport Beach

The ideal beach getaway can certainly be found at Newport Beach, where you’ll have 10 different neighborhood’s worth of luxury hotels, fine dining, immaculate beaches, leisure shopping and a multitude of fun water activities to choose from. Have a beach adventure and go whale watching, or plan your weekend escape closer to the end of February and spend your time attending the Jazz Party and Big Band Blowout. A night full of classic music and dancing could be the ultimate fun getaway. A nice wine tasting or a romantic sunset boat ride seem like essential activities for this romantic trip. 

Napa Valley

For wine enthusiasts, a romantic trip to gorgeous Napa Valley is the ideal vacation. Take a tour of the many wineries and vineyards, go on a romantic air balloon ride, enjoy a relaxing wine tasting, all while staying in some of the nicest lodging in the state. Napa Valley also welcomes you with a plethora of restaurants, bakeries, a theatre featuring live entertainment, a wine bar with live music and a golf resort. 

It’s important to always make time for your partner. Why not spend the whole weekend with them while also making time for you both to relax and have fun? Any of the above options are sure to aid in relaxation and a romantic time enjoying each other.
