With Valentines Day just around the corner, it's time to do something special for your loved one. Instead of just a card and a bunch of flowers or some aftershave or perfume this year, why not whisk them away for a romantic Valentine's break in the sun? Gran Canaria is only four and a half hours flying time away from the UK and offers sun, sea and romantic sunsets on the beach all year round. Flights to Gran Canaria are easy to catch from most airports.

Destinations like Gran Canaria are much quieter during February, making them ideal for couples who want to spend some quality time together without fighting the crowds of holidaymakers you'll find during peak season. You'll also find that your accommodation is cheaper and that even something like finding a perfect table for two at a taverna is easier.

Gran Canaria offers a wealth of things to see and do, and even in February the temperature averages the mid to high 60s so its warm enough for getting a head start on your summer tan. The island is famous for its beaches and night life, but if youre looking for something a little more adventurous then there are plenty of year round activities to keep even the biggest adrenaline junkie couples happy.

Nature lovers can explore the diverse interior of the island and discover its unique wildlife on mountain trails and in forest glades. Why not stop for a picnic and enjoy the view or go sailing along its ancient fossil shore? Gran Canaria has such a diversity of landscapes that it's hard not to be captivated by the ever-changing beauty of the island.

Rather than just another Valentine's Day celebration this year, an unexpected trip to Gran Canaria could be just the thing to sweep your loved one off their feet and to a more exotic destination. So why not be a little impulsive this year and try something a little different with a trip to one of the most romantic islands in Europe? You never know - pop the question as the sun sets over one of the island's stunning beaches and they could say 'yes'!.
