Michaels’ top 10 picks include:

The Kahala Resort - Honolulu’s social address for glamorous events. This exclusive retreat sits on its own private beach, just minutes from Waikiki. Let romance blossom with the Kahala Love Song package complete with dinner at world-famous Hoku’s restaurant.

Michaels applauds the Valen-time to go green at the new “Eco-Glam” Hyatt Key West Resort & Marina, with The Relaxation Package. The Jala Spa will make a $5 donation when guests book the Signature “Jalaja” treatment. Proceeds benefit the Reef Relief Organization.

Romance with a “touch” of adventure at Falaza - a luxury tented safari lodge in South Africa, located 3 hours north of Durban and neighboring the St. Lucia World Heritage Site, offering the Total Relaxation & Renewal Spa Experience in the middle of the African Bush.

Michaels loves the Cotton Tree Lodge - Belize’s newest eco-lodge, which is dedicating Valentine’s week to chocolate. Learn how to make chocolate from descendents of the indigenous Maya who still produce chocolate using traditional techniques.

Cotswold House, in Chipping Camden, England, presents a two-night stay in their luxe Montrose Suite, featuring huge limestone baths (big enough for two), a dinner at Hicks’ Brasserie, Valentine’s dinner in the elegant Juliana’s Restaurant and more love goodies upon arrival.

Amore in the heart of Florence, Italy’s most romantic of hotels, Rocco Forte Hotel Savoy, with Romantic Renaissance - a 2-night package includes Champagne breakfast in bed, Italian chocolates, and to stir up more heat, “Passion” cocktails por due, at their L’Incontro Bar.

Red Hearts at Cambridge Beach in Bermuda, devoting all of February to romance and relationships - this all-inclusive, upscale resort boasts the Exclusive, Sensory Stimulating, Romance Package, including sunset sails, love seminars and workshops.

The Villagio Inn and Spa in Napa Valley is great for canoodling, notes Michaels, especially with the Couples Comfort Zone Escape. Guestrooms boast wood-burning fireplaces and oversized sunken bathtubs.
