Find love at first flight - the best places to jet off for a romantic Valentine’s holiday getaway 2022 have been revealed.

According to the research, Turkey is the top destination for a romantic holiday this February. Though perhaps normally more associated with family summer trips, Turkey has over 1,000 ‘good for couples’ locations, flights for a 7-day Valentine’s trip at under £400 and meals for two costing on average just £14.59 - making it an affordable short-haul trip for UK couples.

Island destinations are a great option for castaway romance, with Sri Lanka and Bali coming second and third respectively, thanks to plenty of romantic hotels and couple-friendly locations. Elsewhere on the list, short-haul destinations offer affordable breaks this Valentine’s. Lovebirds can fly to Croatia for Valentine’s week for just £100, while Italy, Portugal (both #5 on the list) and Cyprus (#17) all come in at under £200.

With things finally (finally!) looking on the up for the travel industry, it's time for lovebirds to start planning those essential romantic Valentine's week getaways. At Destination2 we've seen a big upturn in interest as travel restrictions and testing requirements start to ease off, with spring holidays and early 2022 breaks looking very popular.
