Pucker up: Five great spots to kiss on Valentine’s Day

by Kelsey on January 14, 2010

Looking for a great spot to lock lips this Valentine’s Day? Check out these five hotels and resorts, all among Oyster’s favorite places for a romantic getaway.

The Kissing Point at the Kahala Hotel and Reosrt

The Spot: The Kissing Point
The Hotel: Kahala Hotel and Resort
Location: Oahu, Hawaii
Price: $467/night

The Kahala is the only luxury resort in a quiet setting on Oahu; its small but lovely stretch of sand is much less crowded than the chaotic Waikiki Beach, and this land jetty — called the Kissing Point, for obvious reasons — overlooks calm, blue sea.

The Private Roof Club and Garden at the Gramercy Park Hotel

The Spot: Private Roof Club and Garden
The Hotel: Gramercy Park Hotel
Location: Gramercy and Murray Hill, New York City
Price: $398/night

The strings of lights and crawling green vines at the Gramercy Hotel’s glassed-in Private Roof Club make it feel like you’ve entered a fairyland after dark. Reserve a table for a late dinner or drinks at this posh spot, and you might even enjoy your kiss in relative privacy — until the weather gets warm, the Rose Bar downstairs is the more happening place to be.

Beach Gazebo at Half Moon

The Spot: The Beach Gazebo
The Hotel: Half Moon
Location: Montego Bay, Jamaica
Price: $522/nt

The beach gazebo, at the end of a promenade over the warm, clear water at Half Moon, is a popular setting for weddings — but if you’re not ready to say “I do,” you can start with a kiss at sunset.

The Spot: POV Roof Terrace and Lounge
The Hotel: W Washington D.C.
Location: Downtown, Washington, D.C.
Price: $321/nt

Since its opening last year, this bar has quickly become one of the hottest party spots in D.C. — but its swanky atmosphere and amazing views of the White House and Washington Monument make it a fine place for a smooch.

Ocean-view fire pit at the Terranea Resort

Location: Santa Monica and the Beaches, Los Angeles
Price: $404/nt

This cozy fire pit by the sea is the perfect place to steal a kiss. The beautiful, sprawling grounds at this luxury megaresort offer a number of other romantic lookouts if you’d rather find somewhere completely private.
