A romantic weekend on the Isle of Man is a delightful escape into a world of scenic beauty, historical charm, and intimate moments. Imagine a cosy getaway surrounded by stunning landscapes, picturesque villages, and tranquil shores, all wrapped in the Island’s welcoming atmosphere. Why not head to the beautiful Isle of Man for a Valentine’s trip this year?

Day 1

Start your first day with a refreshing walk at one of the Island’s favourite beauty spots. We recommend sections of the premier long-distance coastal footpath, the Raad ny Foillan, that circles the entire perimeter of the country. Alternatively, if you fancy bracing some of the Island’s summits, we recommend the North East Summits Five Peaks Challenge for views to die for! Or if a more casual stroll is your idea of fun, why not wander through one of the luscious glens like Groudle Glen, Ballaglass Glen, Glen Maye or Glen Helen.

Next, take your pick between the Fynoderee Distillery’s tour, allowing you to sample authentic Manx spirits in a lovely setting, or get active by hopping on a trike tour around the Island, taking in the gorgeous scenery via a roadside adventure.

Spend your evening in the capital of Douglas where there’s a ton of options for date night. Start with some specialty Manx cocktails at the award winning Kiki Lounge before heading to The Gaiety Theatre for a dynamic show in ornamental settings, or perhaps getting active at Mad Jack’s Axe Throwing. Pair this with a meal at one of the capital’s favourite spots, Mrs Yang’s, Just Pizza and Pasta, Little Fish Café, Vibe Plant Based Café, L’Experience, The Barbary Coast and Grill or Bonzai Pan Asian Kitchen are all great options.

Day 2

Your second day on the Extraordinary Isle begins with a revitalising trip to Kishtey Cheh Beach Spa at Port Erin Beach where you can indulge in the Nordic cycle, whereby you spend time in a sauna and/or hot tub before plunging into a cold plunge pool, or even better, the Irish Sea! On weekends you can keep cosy post beach spa session at Cosy Noa, think roaring fire, great coffee and delicious treats.

Follow this up with a visit to the south’s beautiful coastline. Popular beauty spots include The Sound, the Chasms and Scarlett Point. Alternatively, head out to The Abbey for a delectable meal or afternoon tea in the lovely settings of the Island’s old abbey, Rushen Abbey.

In the evening, get both the romantic vibes and the wine flowing with a trip to Douglas’s Wine Down. This forward thinking restaurant combines top-quality dishes (for sharing or not!) with over 300 fine wines, creating a perfect environment for a romantic dinner. What’s more, your visit might align with one of Wine Down’s much-loved events, such as regional tastings and tasting menus for different grape varieties.

Day 3

Your third and final day is the perfect time to head to the picturesque Laxey Beach for a romantic stroll followed by tasty treats at The Shed, why not go all out and grab a customisable crumble from The Shed’s Crumble Bar.

Spend your afternoon unwinding at one of the Island’s beautiful spas. Head to Willow Spa to enjoy modern, state-of-the-art facilities and an unrivalled sense of wellbeing and calm. Alternatively, make your way to Andreas’ stunning Brightlife to experience a mindful spa session set amidst the tranquil countryside.
