Three alternative Valentine’s breaks

Want to impress someone this Valentine's Day? Ditch the red roses and the manufactured romance and head for one of Black Tomato's alternative Valentine destinations - sure to make that special someone swoon.

Love Boat

Escape the overcrowded restaurants and venture north into the tranquility of the Arctic Circle. Explore Norway's ice caverns and take a heart-melting moonlit dog-sledding tour.

Stay at Basecamp Spitsbergen, which is made out of driftwood, sealskin and slate and where the glass ceiling provides a great view of the bright northern lights above. Spend a night under animal furs on board the Ice Ship, a 100 year old schooner frozen into the waters of Tempelfjorden, with nothing but breathtaking landscapes and the odd polar bear for company.

Five nights with Black Tomato start from £1,990 per person based on two people sharing. The price includes flights, transfers and accommodation with breakfast.

Ice Ice Baby

Have a perfect excuse to snuggle up this Valentine's with a moonlit dinner on a glacier in Iceland. After a dinner of the finest sashimi served on a table of ice, head to your own Jacuzzi set by the side of a fjord, to while away the hours watching the Northern lights.

The next day discover a whole new world together diving between continents in crystal clear water in one of the planet's most untouched areas.

Black Tomato can arrange three nights at the Hotel Borg in Reykjavik from £1,299 per person based on two people sharing, including flights, accommodation with breakfast, transfers and a day diving.

My Sunny Valentine

Avoid the Valentine's cliche that is Paris and head to Tel Aviv for an altogether hotter romantic break. Stroll hand in hand along sandy beaches, explore crumbling ruins and watch the sunset over the Med.

Staying in a luxury boutique hotel, you can hang out in the boho Yemenite quarter, eat dinner on the seafront or hit the city's coolest nightspots.

Four nights with Black Tomato cost from £1,299 per person at the Hotel Montefiore with flights, transfers and breakfast.
