Valentine’s Day on the Peninsula

If you’re looking for Valentine’s Day plans that feel thoughtful, fun, and genuinely local, the Palos Verdes Peninsula delivers. This year, instead of crowded restaurants and predictable reservations, consider experiences that invite you to slow down, move, indulge, and enjoy the setting that makes the Peninsula so special.

 

From adventure and wellness to sweet treats and movie nights under the stars, here’s a look at what’s happening this Valentine’s Day.

 

For couples who prefer adventure over tradition, Terranea is offering Cupid’s Couple Archery, a themed, custom-tailored archery session for two. Set against the resort’s dramatic coastal backdrop, this hands-on experience is playful, memorable, and a refreshing alternative to a standard Valentine’s dinner.

 

Each couple will also receive a specialty Sugarfina box and a half bottle of wine, adding a sweet touch to the experience. Availability is limited, and reservations are recommended.

 

 

For those with a sweet tooth, Terranea is celebrating Valentine’s Day with a festive spread of indulgent favorites. Guests can enjoy freshly made red velvet waffles, paired with red velvet cinnamon rolls, strawberry danish, and chocolate donuts with strawberry glaze.

 

It’s a relaxed and cheerful way to celebrate, perfect for starting the day slowly or enjoying a shared treat before exploring the Peninsula.

 

Valentine’s Day isn’t just about indulgence, it’s also a great excuse to move. Love Crunch is an upbeat abs and core workout set to energizing love songs, hosted in The Spa’s Movement Studio.

 

This feel-good class is ideal for friends, couples, or anyone looking for a fun and active Valentine’s plan. Class is $20 per person and pre-enrollment is recommended.

 

For a chic, celebratory Valentine’s evening, Bubbles & Bites offers an elevated mix of music, flavor, and hands-on experiences.

 

This exclusive event features live music, a glass of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut Champagne or Rosé, and curated tableside bites designed to pair perfectly with each pour. Guests will also enjoy custom chocolate boxes and an interactive flower bouquet–building experience, making this event as memorable as it is indulgent.

 

 

End the day beneath the stars with a romantic outdoor screening of La La Land on The Meadows. With open skies, cozy seating, and the coastal air, this Valentine’s movie night offers a laid-back yet magical way to celebrate.

 

Guests are encouraged to arrive early, settle in, and enjoy the atmosphere before the film begins.

 

 

For the first time ever, La Venta Inn will host couples for an unforgettable Valentine’s Day dinner, set against breathtaking views of the iconic Queen’s Necklace shoreline. Couples will enjoy a romantic three-course meal with wine pairings in one of the Peninsula’s most storied settings. Event is $75 per person and reservations are required.
