If you think going for a movie or an expensive dinner on Valentine’s Day is too mainstream, there are many more things you could do to make it a day to remember! From movie nights at home to a relaxing spa day, there are numerous ways for both of you to spend time together.

Here are a few ideas :

1. Dancing : Not at the club—it’s about real dancing. You can take a class, hit a salsa club, or go to a place with live music that makes you want to groove.
2. A wine bar crawl : Instead of sticking to just one spot, hop from place-to-place, grab seats at the bar, and order different kinds of wine and tapas all along the way. It's way more interesting than a boring ol' sit-down dinner.
3. A themed dinner and movie night at home : Watching Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck fall in love in Roman Holiday is definitely more satisfying when accompanied by a big plate of homemade spaghetti and meatballs.
4. A relaxing spa day : Tons of spas capitalize on the romantic holiday with specials for couples (and extended hours), so take advantage of the reduced fares to chill out with your significant other.
5. A tandem bike ride for two : While a bike ride for two might seem difficult/cheesy, if both of you are first-timers it could be a genuine and funny bonding moment to look back on.
6. Tour around an unexplored town or venue : Pick on various travel destinations in Sri Lanka and both of you can go on exploring together!
