How are you fixed for Valentines, are you looking forward to a weekend away with your loved one, a fancy night out or are you getting together with a group to convince yourself that you are better off single! Well if you are any of the above this is the blog for you.

Here at Fairmont St Andrews we have put together a few fabulous activities that will ensure that you have a Valentines to remember – loved up or down in the dumps! Let us know how it goes and if you have any of your favourite activities to add please leave us a comment.

Day Activities

1) Don't have enough money to splurge on exciting days out? Go for a walk – it is completely under rated. Go with your partner and reconnect, wander with your friends and catch up on gossip or just go by yourself and clear your head. If you have a beach, woodland, park, lake, village or just a patch of countryside, go and enjoy the great outdoors. The best walks around Fairmont St Andrews are the stunning West Sands Beach, Fife Coastal Path and of course a stroll down the Scores! It may be chilly but why not take a picnic and stop off at a sheltered spot.

2) Visit those local attractions that you have never been to? Visit a botanic garden, an aquarium, a historic site like a castle or cathedral or download a walking tour of your area and learn about the place you are living. You could find out fascinating facts and have fun along the way! Fairmont St Andrews are offering their opulent Valentines Afternoon Tea throughout the whole of February so  why not nip up and indulge.

3) Do you want to truly impress, then why not whisk her, or your best buddy away on an all expenses paid getaway – here at Fairmont St Andrews we are running a fabulous promotion over Valentines so make the most of it and book a trip. Enjoy luxury surroundings, spa treatments, fine wine and dining – let her dress up and pamper yourself this Valentines.

4) Spa day! They can be a lot more affordable than you think and it is a full day of complete relaxation and bliss. Book a couples suite, enjoy a treatment together and unwind in the relaxation room, take a swim if you wish and cleanse yourself in the sauna and steam room. Enjoy a spa bento box lunch or indulge in afternoon tea. Relax and reconnect in superb fashion.

Evening Activities

1) Go out for a meal – I know this is such a cliché but actually it can be a lot of fun. Do you research and make sure you choose a restaurant that suits you down to a tee. Is it the location you're after with stunning views like the Clubhouse at Fairmont St Andrews or an intimate fine dining experience like Esperante? Ensure that you plan ahead and book well in advance for the special day!

2) Go for some fabulous drinks. Do you have a unique bar that you only visit on special occasions? Splash out and treat your friend or loved one to a glass of champagne, cocktail or nibbles and make them feel extra special. Why not get The Rock and Spindle Bar to customise a cocktail for you – it is the added touches that make your day extra special.

3) Why not visit the cinema and enjoy this years latest block buster. Satisfy your sweet tooth with some snacks and you will have plenty to chat about afterward. Fairmont St Andrews are running their Oscar themed cinema night on the 26^th of February so come along and enjoy the award winning film "The Kings Speech".

4) For the ultimate Valentines evening why not attend a master class such as wine tasting, cocktail making or how about Fairmont St Andrews champagne and chocolate tasting! The ultimate event to start of a perfect Valentines date.
