Stumped for date ideas? Check out our last minute list of destinations for the perfect Valentine's Day with your beau.

Miraj Hamman Spa Escape as a couple to South Granville's Miraj Hamman for a holistic spa experience. The traditional Middle Eastern methods of steaming and exfoliation, followed by a 30-minute relaxation or deep tissue massage (and did we mention the scalp and face massage to sum it up?) will leave you and your amour feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. The entire spa is reserved to one couple per appointment (how romantic!) so indulge in not just complimentary Middle Eastern teas and yummy sweet cakes but the luxury of total attention and privacy. (2 people for $295 until the end of February. 1495 W. Sixth Ave., 604733-5151)

Yyoga Stretch out and strenghten your relationship at an event exclusively for couples. Get down with Acro Yoga moves (a trust-based practice of acrobatics and stretching poses) followed by a cleansing Thai massage. Whether you're an experienced Yogi or an amateur, this light-hearted session will have you feeling closer to your partner come session end. ($40. 1915 West Fourth Ave. and 888 Burrard St., 604-682-3369)

Grouse Mountain Give your heart all kinds of a workout with a racing zipline course and a twilight hike. The extraordinary views from http://www.vanmag.com/shopgirl/2015/02/Eat_Play_Love

the mountain are perfect for nature lovers - and don't forget to head to the Chalet pre-adventure date for a romantic chocolate fondue! ($65. Grouse Mountain, 604-980-9311)

Brix Brix, most likely

hosting the largest set menu for Valentine's Day, welcomes couples with an assortment of seafood dishes and delicious desserts for two. With a warm ambiance and that romantic glass-encased patio, this takes all heart, no brains, to book for V-day dinner. ($55. 1138 Homer St., 604-915-9463)

Wedgewood Hotel This luxury hotel is offering a V-Day package too good to refuse: a bottle of Veuve Clicquot, a four-course dinner for two at on-location Bacchus, and breakfast in bed the following day (mmmm....chocolate truffles). A romantic one-night staycation in heaven. ($564. 845 Hornby St., 604689-7777)

Soirette

Spending the day with the ladies? Check out Soirette Macaroons and Tea in Coal Harbour. This adorable pastry shop has an endless selection of those deliciously crackly sandwich cookies, plus dreamy pastries and almond torte for high tea (not to mention the specialty goodies for Valentine's Day). Single life has never tasted so good! (1433 W. Pender St., 604-558-3308)
