Win Bae Over With These Valentine's Day Date Ideas

Plan a super romantic camping date for bae with Chennai Trekking Club. Just pack a blanket, some food, and wine to while away Valentine’s night watching the stars. 

If you’re looking for a lit date idea for Valentine’s Day, this oldie but goodie will do the trick. Check into Crimson Chakra’s candle room and enjoy alone time with your loved one. Revisit your first meeting and recreate that first date with all its awkwardness and laughter!

This one works like a charm, especially for workaholics. Unwind and relax this Valentine’s Day with your partner. Foot soaks, hair spas, all great options, but go with a Thai spa or massage. Here are some spas offering the best couple massages in Chennai. 

It’s kind of a weird date idea for Valentine’s day, but getting inked is off-beat and super fun. If you’ve both been discussing getting tattoos but put it off because you were super busy (or lazy), book a sesh at Irezumi in Chetpet. You would be ticking this off your bucket list, making a short road trip out of this, and also get to see how gorgeous this tattoo parlour is? Tucked away in the cosy lanes of ECR with a patio, garden, and two super friendly doggos, getting inked here is chill! For more options, here's a list of the best tattoo parlours in Chennai. Usually, these appointments are individual, so it’ll just be the two of you. If a tattoo is too much, get inked with mehendi instead!

If you’re someone who loves to move, go dancing with bae to any of the best nightclubs in the city. If singing is your thing, check out these top karaoke places in Chennai. 

Escape Chennai and check into a dreamy hotel or homestay by the hills. A special time like this deserves a kick-ass place! Try this private bungalow in Valparai or this lit room in Kodaikanal. Too far? Check into these awesome resorts right here along ECR. For the best hill stations in Chennai, click here. For those looking to trek, check out these places.  

Sign up for a catamaran ride, windsurfing, or kayaking adventure with Surf Turf in Covelong and bring that thrilling spirit out this Valentine’s Day (you can then gorge on fresh seafood and make sandcastles). It’s a rather wild date idea, and if they say yes for this first date, we bet they’re your type. If you’re looking for an indoor, dry adventure, solve mysteries in these escape rooms or go to Mission Academy Of Shooting Sports (MASS), a shooting range in Anna Nagar to try your hand at rifles. 

Yes, movie nights with bae can never go out of style. Comfy seats, a tub of popcorn and the best company in the whole world - movie dates are simply the best. And with PVR cinemas offering couple seats, you can watch the latest movies while sharing a cosy space with bae. If you're feeling more adventurous, drive to Prarthana Beach Drive-in Theatre and catch a flick from the comfort of your car or lie down under the stars. Fully filmy and a guaranteed hit! 

Always fancied cooking a romantic meal with bae and enjoying it together? You can do exactly that this Valentine's Day. Foodology, a recreational cooking studio, will let you sign up for a session as a couple and learn how to cook a proper meal from scratch under the guidance of a chef. You can choose what cuisine you'd like to try out and cook a three-course or a five-course meal. Pretty cool, eh? 

This one is the cutest date idea according to us. This V-Day, head to The Bark or Twisty Tales and enjoy a lovey-dovey meal with bae while also sharing some love and getting love from the four-legged friends there. If you and your partner want to really spend some quality time with some furry friends, you can also volunteer at Cloud No 9 Kennel & Nursing Care. They’re always looking for animal lovers willing to spend a little free time with their animals. What do you think? 

From stunning heritage buildings to museums and scenic beaches, Chennai sure does have a lot of beautiful places for you to check out. You can go boating at Chetpet Ecopark or watch the sunset at any of these beautiful places. Long drives at ECR are always great and you can also explore different cultures at Dakshinchitra. Plan your own itinerary with bae and see Chennai all over again as tourists.
