The great thing about Valentine’s Day is that you don’t have to resort to grand plans and events to celebrate. A cosy night at home with your special someone is a great alternative if you aren’t keen on crowded restaurants and packed walkways. Here are a few ideas if you’re considering spending a quiet night in on Valentine’s Day.

Organise a Cosy Movie Night

This is the perfect way to spend Valentine’s Day especially if you’re both movie buffs. All you need to do is pick out your favourite movies and snuggle within a fort of blankets and pillows before pressing play.

Enjoy a Gourmet Dinner Together

An intimate gourmet dinner at home can often beat the crowds and noise of the best restaurants in the city. You can prepare your favourite delights together or consider room service if you’re at apartments like DAMAC Maison Aykon City Hotel Apartments

Head Straight for Some Dessert

On the other hand, you could throw convention out the door and go straight for your favourite desserts! Whether you prefer baking your favourite cake together, diving straight into a tub of ice cream, or devouring your favourite chocolates, Valentine’s Day is the perfect time for you and your partner to enjoy all things sweet and sugary.

Create Your Own Spa Session

Another great idea is transforming your home into a spa retreat. Organise a relaxing bath with essential oils, soothing music, and scented candles. Or if you’re in hotel apartments in Business Bay that provide relaxing wellness services consider going to a spa session and choosing from an array of special treatments.

With plenty of dazzling sights and scenic views, Dubai is one of the best cities to be in for the big occasion when you get down on one knee.

The Burj Khalifa

What better place to take your romance to new heights than at the world’s tallest building?

The Miracle Garden

The Miracle Garden provides the perfect fairytale-like setting for your proposal. Choose a spot from several great options including the heart-shaped arches, secluded walkways and the vibrant Dubai Butterfly Garden.
