New York City Rooftop Luxury
Image Credit: Courtesy Peninsula New York Have you ever wanted to sleep under the stars…in New York City? Now’s your chance. But don’t worry, there’s no need to rough it when you’re in the capable hands of The Peninsula New York. This winter, the hotel has set up two chalet-inspired clear domes on their rooftop and for one night will transform them into a cozy and sumptuous private room for two. The experience begins with private transport to the hotel in the property’s bespoke BMW 7-series, then a rose petal-strewn arrival to the private rooftop chalet, which will be adorned with a one-of-a kind floral creation by McQueens Flowers. A dedicated personal butler will greet the couple with a Champagne toast before they continue to a journey in the Peninsula’s renowned spa. The evening caps off with a private dinner by the hotel’s executive chef, free-flowing rare Champagne, Petrossian caviar, and a specially created dessert paired with bubbles hand-selected by the hotel’s sommelier. After that, you’ll be left alone to sleep under the twinkling stars. Package starts at $48,000.

Private Maldivian Island Getaway
Image Credit: Courtesy Milaidhoo Island Couples staying at Milaidhoo Island Maldives over Valentine’s Day can opt to spend a night as castaways under the stars on their very own island. In the Sleep Under the Stars Experience, a private sandbank is transformed into a gorgeous, open-air bedroom with a canopied four-poster bed draped in muslin and surrounded by lanterns and candles; a private yacht, anchored nearby, is outfitted with a dressing room and a bathroom stocked with hotel amenities. The experience begins with a romantic Champagne sunset cruise aboard either a luxury yacht or traditional Maldivian sailing boat. After arriving at the secluded sandbank, cocktails are served, followed by a four-course dinner. After dinner, the lovers are left to enjoy drinks by the fire before heading off to sleep. Have no fear: A provided phone offers direct access to a personal butler. As the sun rises, couples can kick-start the day with the Milaidhoo Yogi, who will take them through a sunrise yoga session before the butler arrives to serve a freshly prepared breakfast. We’re pretty sure this what paradise feels like. From $3,000, plus cost of the hotel stay.
