It’s that time of the year again and you know it, when you see the promotions taking place on billboards and TV commercials showcasing all lovey-dovey stuff. Yes it’s Cupid’s favourite day of the year and it’s none other than Valentine’s Day that falls on 14 February.
They say love can take place anytime of the year. But there are the ones who wait for Valentine’s Day especially just to show how much they appreciate their better half more than anything else in this world. Well you can do just that at the one place that will make hearts melt with the Indian Ocean as the backdrop during a sunset evening.
The place you know for its heritage value, history and beauty the Galle Face Hotel in Colombo, has lined up an amazing set of activities to keep the Valentine’s spirit alive in you.
You can begin countdown for the Heart Day by sending your loved one a surprise box of homemade Valentine chocolates, cookies, cakes, pastries or marzipan creations on display in splendid wrappings from the pastry shop Pasticcino from 10 to 15 February 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
After a busy day at work you can whisk your partner to a Valentine’s cocktail treat and let him relax with a glass of strawberry margarita. Remember last summer, red snapper, love potion or kerasi that will be on a special rate at the beautiful Chequer Board or Verandah Bar.
On Valentine’s Day itself you can treat your sweetheart to a night of pure romance with live band music, hot Latino dancing, a compeer and a DJ to keep you together on the floor of the Chequer Board the whole night through.

For the couples who want to be in the cosy spot away from the crowd, noise and lights, they can make a reservation at the 1864 Restaurant & Bar for ‘Love in Harmony,’ a private affair. Before entering you will both receive Valentine’s cocktails and while listening to the jazz and keyboard duo, you can sit yourself down to a six-course dinner following an after-dinner beverage on the house, a rose for the lady, and of course liquored Valentine chocolates in a ceramic container as remembrance of the night you make magical.
