Romance might be a state of mind, but it never hurts to have props. In Florida, we’re fortunate to have everything from dramatic ocean views to cozy sanctuaries where couples can snuggle and enjoy each other’s company. Here are a few standouts.
50 Ocean | Delray Beach
The only way to get closer to the water is to walk across A1A and stick your feet in the surf. For Valentine’s Day, the best view is from a love seat on the deck where you can sip a craft cocktail and listen to the waves. If you’re willing to step back a bit from the ocean, retreat to 50 Ocean‘s intimate Hemingway Lounge, located behind the backlit quartz bar, where pictures of Papa complement elegant sofas and large leather armchairs.

The Leopard Lounge at The Chesterfield | Palm Beach
Island residents have been trysting at The Leopard Lounge for generations for obvious reasons. Enter a room filled with dim lighting and sumptuous wood paneling, and you’ll feel as frisky as the leopards that highlight the decor. Whether you sit at the long bar or hide in a private nook, the atmosphere will light a spark in your relationship. (561-659-5800)

Tanzy | Boca Raton
At first you might think you’ve stepped out of Mizner Park and into a rain forest, but Tanzy’s jungle ambience is actually inspired by the flora and fauna of Italy’s Amalfi Coast. At the heart of it all sits the Cocoon Lounge, a romantic refuge separate from the bar and dining room, where couples can relax under a canopy of gnarled vines near the chef’s herb garden.
