For Valentine's Day 2019, why don’t you skip the flowers and give the gift of travel? Escape to Kiawah for a romantic or family trip!
The History of Valentine’s Day
When most people think of Valentine’s Day, they think of their loved ones, flowers, and chocolate. However, did you know that Valentine’s Day has been celebrated since the early 1700s and the day is named after St. Valentine?
It is believed that the holiday, celebrated on February 14, stemmed from St. Valentine sending his love a card while wrongfully placed in prison. He signed the card "From your Valentine," which is still a common phrase used today.
Whether that story is true or not, we can all agree that the holiday is to celebrate the love you have for others. This year, why don’t you skip the flowers and give the gift of travel? Escape to Kiawah for a romantic or family trip!
Why You Should Spend the Holiday on Kiawah
February 14 falls on a Thursday this year, so it will be hard for most to celebrate in the middle of the week. We think most people are going to wait until the weekend to celebrate the holiday. Some will even have the following Monday off due to the federal holiday, Presidents Day. A late celebration through the weekend would be great for couples and families alike.
A few fun ideas for how to spend Valentine's weekend on Kiawah Island include:
- Take a walk on the beach
- Shop at Freshfields Village
- Make romantic dinner reservations at one of our favorite local restaurants
- Book a spa day
- Ride bikes on the paths
- Explore the lookout towers on the island
We are accepting three-night stays in our villas and cottages and four-night stays in our rental homes!
