CELEBRATE VALENTINE’S DAY IN OCEANSIDE: 3 DIFFERENT WAYS
BY ALANA MORGAN
Looking for romantic getaways from Los Angeles or the best hotels in San Diego for couples? Prefer to keep things classic with roses and Champagne or tend to go for more adventurous activities? Whatever your style is as a couple, Oceanside (and Mission Pacific) offers the Valentine’s Day escape to match.
1. FOR THE HOPELESS ROMANTICS
Long walks on the beach, postcard-worthy sunsets, Champagne, and roses — these tried and true elements of a romantic getaway never disappoint. After two years of interrupted travel plans and staying home, simply going back to the basics, like sneaking away for – a night – or better yet – a long weekend – with your significant other is appreciated on a whole new level.
Book Mission Pacific’s Loving Feeling package (see below) and escape to one of our Sanctuary Studios — known for their sweeping Pacific views from the personal balcony — where you two can unwind in pure privacy with a separate lounge, plush king bed, and sleek, freestanding tub in the stylish bathroom. Toast your love with a complimentary bottle of Champagne upon arrival (who can resist a bottle of chilled bubbles waiting just inside your door?) and unwind during a memorable evening complete with a bubble bath sprinkled with rose petals.
(Not able to make it right around Valentine’s Day? No worries. The Loving Feeling package is available for booking and stays through the month of February.)
Up the romance factor by indulging in other romantic experiences. The next morning, indulge in an iconic ritual — breakfast in bed, courtesy of in-room dining. Then head across to Sunny’s Spa, situated in our sister hotel, The Seabird Resort, for a curated couples’ spa journey. Held in a meticulously designed duo suite, the treatments offer intimate moments of connection, reflection, and restoration — the perfect start to a new year.
2. FOR THE OUTDOORS LOVERS
If the idea of the perfect date or weekend away involves working out and soaking up the great outdoors, Oceanside is a dream destination. Pair a restorative stay by the beach with your preferred way to work up a sweat and enjoy the great outdoors together.
A sunset stroll or rooftop drinks looking out to the Pacific (or both!) set the scene for your couple’s escape. In the morning, rise early for a meditative walk on the beach, just steps from Mission Pacific, grounding yourself in the sand while inhaling the salty sea air. Over a healthy breakfast at High/Low (the vegan banana pancakes are divine) choose how to spend the rest of the day. A long coastal bike ride? Rent a bike or beach cruiser from our partner Pedego. Want to catch a wave? Make learning to surf one of your New Year’s resolutions. Looking for something more low-key but still on the water? Rent a stand-up paddleboard at Oceanside Boat Rentals (just a five-minute drive from Mission Pacific) and explore Oceanside’s local bay. While staying at Mission Pacific, you can appreciate both a romantic vibe plus choose-your-own-adventure experiences.
3. FOR THE POWER COUPLE
To really wow your special someone and celebrate your love in style, go all out this Valentine’s Day with the most luxurious romantic getaway from Los Angeles. Mission Pacific’s Ultimate Escape package pulls out all the stops for a lavishly romantic getaway.
A dozen roses and a bottle of Champagne welcome you and your significant other as you step into an expansive Dreamscape Suite. Surrounded by sweeping ocean views, the suite includes a separate bedroom with a king bed, a lounge area, and a spacious, spa-inspired bathroom with a standalone soaking tub and shower. Before getting too comfortable, however, you’ll set out on a private sunset helicopter ride following the coastline and watching the sun’s last rays light up the sky before landing back in Oceanside. From there, savor a prix-fix menu at Valle Restaurant. Showcasing inventive Baja California flavors and the finest locally sourced ingredients, the elevated dining experience offers a feast for all senses. When it’s time to check out, you’ll still enjoy luxe treatment with a VIP transfer home.
