Each place offers a unique set of activities you and your partner can do. As a bonus, all these locations make great backdrops for your couple's pictures for Instagram!



1) For old souls and romantics: Nuvali, Laguna

If a romantic boat ride in the lake a la The Notebook will set your beau’s heart aflutter, take them to the lake in Nuvali, where you can hop into a boat. After that, spend the rest of the afternoon lakeside whispering sweet nothings into each other’s ears while feeding the koi. End the day with a bike ride along Nuvali boulevard.


2) For the foodies: Cloverleaf in Balintawak, Quezon City

Valentine’s Day is about filling your hearts AND tummies with nice things. If your date is a foodie and you both live around Balintawak, how about exploring the world’s cuisines with a buffet dinner at The Alley by Vikings in Ayala Malls Cloverleaf? You can be assured that your date will never be bored with the diverse selection of food offers. It has something for any mood your palates may have from delectable sushi to mouth-watering steak, it’ll surely be a feast to remember.


3) For nature lovers: Central Park in South Park District, Muntinlupa

Maybe your partner’s dream date is a picnic in a vast park surrounded by trees with nothing but clear blue skies overhead. At the heart of the development of South Park District is a sprawling Central Park. It is replete with wide open spaces, canopied pathways, and tree-lined promenades perfect for those seeking respite with nature. You can also take your date here for a romantic walk.

The park provides different moods depending on what kind of atmosphere you want for the date. There is The Plaza which offers backgrounds best for selfies together. In addition, the Grand Lawn has many different activities you can try out if your date is outdoorsy and physically active.


4) For adrenaline chasers and kids at heart: Alviera in Porac, Pampanga

If your partner loves affordable and heart-stopping thrills, they’ll enjoy visiting SandBox in Alviera, Porac, Pampanga. Scream your hearts out on Asia’s first roller coaster zip line, the country’s tallest giant swing, the Aerial Walk, the Free Fall Jump, the ATVs, and obstacle courses. If that’s not enough, check out City Kart Racing Pampanga, where you can get coached and satisfy your need for speed. You can also bring your bikes and take on the scenic off-road Alviera Bike Trails.


5) For passionate bikers: Vermosa Off-Road Tracks, Cavite

You and your date can access the massive bike park in Vermosa, Daanghari, and brush up on your biking skills. The park offers a complete off-road track experience with its various jump sections, berms, and pump tracks that’ll get any biker’s adrenaline pumping.


6) For wanderlusters: La Vie Parisienne in Cebu I.T. Park, Cebu City

Suppose you want to recreate an out-of-the-country date for your beau this Valentine’s Day; reserve a table at La Vie Parisienne, the “Little Paris” of Cebu City. The restaurant doesn’t just offer authentic French wine, deli, and viennoiseries; they provide an authentic French dining experience—as if you’re in a genuine Parisian bakery and deli shop! Conceptualized by French businessmen, who envisioned a “tropical French paradise,” La Vie Parisienne’s crowd drawer is its romantically-lit garden. You and your beau can dine under cherry blossom trees, whimsical canopies, or inside one of its tents if you want more privacy.


7) For urbanites: 24 Chicken in One Park Drive

It’s your nth Valentine’s with your long-term beau, and you’ve run out of fancy romantic restaurants to bring them to. How about hyping up your taste buds with some awesome Korean fried chicken?
