4 romantic experiences in Alicante for Valentine’s Day

Celebrating Valentine’s Day in Alicante means choosing experiences that combine mild weather, Mediterranean landscapes and carefully designed plans to enjoy as a couple, without rushing. For those spending a few days on holiday or staying at their second home in the province, there are many romantic experiences in Alicante for Valentine’s Day that go far beyond the classic dinner: live music, charming wineries, peaceful spas or restaurants with views that turn 14 February into a truly special memory.

Below, we’ve selected a few ideas to enjoy Alicante from an intimate, elegant and slightly different perspective.

Enjoy a Candlelight concert in a unique setting

Candlelight concerts have become one of the most romantic experiences to enjoy as a couple. Live classical music or instrumental versions of modern songs, performed surrounded by the glow of hundreds of candles, create a truly special atmosphere.

In Alicante, these concerts are often held in distinctive venues such as the MARQ or Santa Bárbara Castle, locations that add extra value to the experience.

It’s a perfect way to end the day with something intimate and refined, and it can easily be combined with a short getaway beforehand: a stroll through the old town, a relaxed coastal walk or a cultural visit before the concert.

A wine-tasting getaway in the Marina Alta or Vinalopó

Another of the most appreciated romantic experiences in Alicante for Valentine’s Day is a visit to a winery. Both in the Marina Alta and the Vinalopó areas, you’ll find wineries surrounded by vineyards and rural landscapes that invite you to slow down and disconnect.

Some of the best-known options include Bodegas Enrique Mendoza and Bodegas Sierra Salinas, where couples can enjoy wine tastings, learn about the winemaking process and sample local products.

The experience can be rounded off by exploring charming towns such as Villena, Altea or Xaló, ideal for a relaxed lunch or an unplanned stop along the way.

A relaxing spa night or thermal baths with accommodation

If your idea of Valentine’s Day is complete relaxation, a spa break is a safe choice. In winter, this type of plan is even more enjoyable: thermal circuits, couples’ massages, a quiet dinner and an overnight stay in a charming hotel.

There are very appealing options in areas such as L’Alfàs del Pi, La Romana, Alcoi or Mutxamel, where rural accommodation and spas offer peaceful, uncrowded settings. It’s an ideal alternative for couples seeking intimacy, rest and quality time away from everyday routines.

A romantic dinner with views: charming restaurants for couples

In February, Alicante is best enjoyed indoors: soft lighting, good food and views that enhance the experience without relying on outdoor plans. A well-chosen dinner can become the perfect ending to the day.

Some recommended options for Valentine’s Day include:

• Restaurante El Xato, with a Michelin star and a carefully crafted gastronomic proposal.
• Oustau, ideal for a quiet evening in a charming setting.
• Restaurante Monastrell, offering refined cuisine in an elegant environment, perfect for a special dinner for two.

Booking in advance is essential to ensure a smooth and memorable experience on 14 February.

To move comfortably between plans, towns and experiences, hiring a car makes organising your trip much easier. Lara Cars offers clear pricing, fully comprehensive insurance with no excess, and the option to pick up and return the vehicle directly at Alicante–Elche Airport, adapting the service to the needs of each stay.
