For many couples, a Valentine’s Day escape anywhere on the map wouldn’t quite feel right without a romantic dinner or two included on the itinerary. The good news is that La Quinta is home to spectacular restaurants where couples can linger in good company and savor the moment in style.
A great place to consider adding to your holiday getaway when you’re here over Valentine’s Day this year is Lavender Bistro. Located at 78073 Calle Barcelona, Lavender Bistro has earned a reputation among locals and visitors alike as perhaps one of the most enchanting dining experiences in town!
Guests who make a reservation here on Valentine’s Day will enjoy options to pick and choose between indoor dining or garden patio dining, which adds a whimsical setting to time enjoying your one-of-a-kind dish.

Outdoor Activities for Two in La Quinta
The goal of any Valentine’s Day getaway is typically to focus on quality time where you and the one you love most can get closer. If you happen to be a couple that shares an unwavering love for time in nature, La Quinta is a destination that’s bound to thrill!
A romantic Valentine’s Day trip to La Quinta should most definitely include a sunrise hike (or two) along the scenic Bear Creek Oasis Trail. This is a route that’s adored for its gorgeous vantage points it provides out and over the Santa Rosa Mountains. It’s a must-visit for couples who appreciate time in the fresh air and are looking for a breathtaking view to enjoy at the beginning of the day together.
When you take time to explore the Bear Creek Oasis Trail this Valentine’s Day, you’ll find yourself on one of many trails that wind their way through the La Quinta Cove community. If you decide to explore the route in its entirety, you’ll want to set aside anywhere from 5 to 6 hours to cover the 9-mile trail that’s defined by 2,322 feet in elevation gain along the way.
For the couple that loves to hit the greens together, La Quinta is a Valentine’s Day destination with world-class golf courses to explore. While the entire city is a hub of opportunity when it comes to honing your short and long game skills side-by-side, you definitely won’t want to miss out on time at PGA West. Here, you’ll find no less than 9 distinct championship courses, all of which are designed by legendary architects. Whether you’re looking forward to challenges crafted by Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman, Arnold Palmer, Tom Weiskopf, or Pete Dye, you’ll find them all waiting for you right here at his private, luxury golf club.
No matter how you spend your day outdoors, you can always end your evening on a romantic note by planning to enjoy a sunset picnic together over at Lake Cahuilla Veterans Regional Park. Spanning 710 acres, this park overlooks the mountains and water, providing couples with a picturesque place to savor time together at their own preferred pace.
Infuse Added Luxury into Your Stay
La Quinta is a vacation destination over Valentine’s Day that makes it easy to spend ample time out and about exploring your surroundings.

Consider Something Wonderfully Unique This Valentine’s Day
If you’re part of a couple heading to La Quinta this Valentine’s Day who are looking for something new and exciting to learn together, the options are seemingly endless.

Over at Cooking with Class on Caleo Bay Drive, you can spend time with a knowledgeable and friendly chef who will help you master the skills needed to serve up a spectacular dish all on your own. Not only will the experience be educational, but it’s a chance to be playful in the kitchen together and enjoy the reward of a flavorful moment!
You might also consider enjoying a new view of your surroundings together this Valentine’s Day by booking a romantic hot air balloon ride while you’re here.
