Top 20 romantic getaways
Make this Valentine's Day weekend—or any weekend—special at one of these dreamy retreats
Post Ranch Inn, Big Sur, CA
The most dramatically situated and architecturally ambitious of the Big Sur inns, Post Ranch Inn has rooms set along the bluffs and others tucked away in the forest. And what do we think of the clifftop rooms? Wow. As in: Wow, check out those end-of-the-earth ocean views and get a load of those James Bond–worthy bells and whistles. But also as in: Wow, $1,060 to $2,185 a night? Youch. Regular rooms start at $550—still a splurge, yes, but there’s no dreamier perch. $$$$; postranchinn.com
