Setting your romantic weekend against the filmic backdrop of Manhattan is also bound to impress. Virgin Holidays and Hip Hotels ( vhiphotels.co.uk) are offering a three-night break at the Soho Grand, with flights departing 13 February, breakfast and transfers, for £1,099 per person.

For £214, you can rent the cottage – complete with exposed beams, Inglenook fireplace and elegant design – for three nights starting 12 February.

If you don’t fancy sharing your romantic experience with a host of other lovebirds, then Windjammer Landing in St Lucia ( windjammer-landing.com) is extending its Valentine’s offer for the entire month of February.
