Those keen for a truly exclusive Valentine’s Day experience this year can opt for Valentine in Gold at Pine Cliffs, A Luxury Collection Resort in the Algarve, Portugal – available for one lucky couple. Taken within the resort’s award-winning Serenity Spa, the experience includes a treatment for two complete with flourishes of gold and an private dinner within its stunning, gilded spa suite.

The sweethearts will be invited to enjoy a day of pampering à deux that includes an 80-minute ‘gold ritual’ treatment, where a cleansing body exfoliation is followed by a luscious body wrap and massage, with all products enriched with atomised gold powder to reduce fine lines and prevent ageing.  The couple will also have exclusive use of the Aurum Suite, a ‘spa within a spa’ illuminated with gleaming gold leaf, complete with its own sauna, steam room, experience shower and lounge area. Rounding off a day of romance, the lovers will savour an intimate candlelit dinner in the Aurum Suite. Specially created by Executive Chef Stuart Sage, the gold-inspired menu features five courses reflecting love’s journey, from the ‘Exchange of Glances’ starter through to ‘Passion’, ‘Love’, ‘Commitment’ and finally, ‘Temptation’ for dessert.

Lovers who are late to the game can still enjoy a romantic day of indulgence with Pine Cliffs’ Believe in Love experience, which includes a 50-minute couples’ spa treatment and the chance to while away a decadent hour in the Aurum Suite with a complimentary bottle of champagne and chocolate-dipped strawberries.
