9 Incredibly Romantic Getaways Around Utah

Experience panoramic views of colorful sandstone formations from the private decks off every room at Inn on the Cliff, a boutique hotel in the charming town of St. George. Couple these captivating views with modern rooms featuring plush Beautyrest mattresses, and you’ll have little desire to leave your suite.

However, when you do, you’ll find an outdoor hot tub and pool open for playful relaxation, as well as St. George’s most romantic restaurant.

Reserve a table for two at Cliffside, nestled next to Inn on the Cliff, for elegant cuisine and excellent patio ambiance. It’s easy to see why its outdoor tables overlooking the city are one of the area’s most popular proposal spots, and guests receive complimentary desserts when celebrating special occasions. Pair the elevated American fare with Cliffside’s extensive wine and beer list—a rare offering in conservative southern Utah. Every morning, snuggle longer with your sweetie over breakfast delivered to your room.

Mild winter temperatures and sunny summers make St. George ideal for year-round exploration. Rent a bike and pedal paved paths through the city, or drive 10 miles to the red rock formations of Snow Canyon State Park. The park’s name is a misnomer, as you’ll rarely find fluffy flakes. Instead, the vast dunes and soaring sandstone welcome desert adventurers. Hike the Gila Trail to see Native American petroglyphs, or stroll on Jenny’s Trail for slot canyon sightings and sunset panoramas.

Recognized as the United State’s Best Ski Hotel and Park City’s only Forbes five-star resort, Stein Eriksen Lodge is the top choice for a romantic ski vacation that exudes luxury. With cozy rooms featuring fireplaces and deep soaking tubs, there’s no better place to rekindle or fan the flames of your romance.

Located right on the slopes of award-winning Deer Valley Resort, this glamorous lodge offers ski-in / ski-out guest access, plus free shuttles to Park City Main Street.

After a long day on the mountain, ski to Stein’s outdoor Champions Club Plaza for après-ski cocktails and hot chocolate served around the fire pits. New this season, reserve cozy Alpenglobe dining pods for romantic outdoor deck dining.

While you could spend all your time on the slopes or in the luxurious rooms, it’s worth experiencing all the recent resort enhancements: refreshed common areas in the lodge, a new Champions Club Entertainment Center for game nights, a 56-seat movie theater, and a slopeside coffee shop.

Book a private horse-drawn sleigh ride through the snow on Deer Valley’s slopes. Then amp up the romance with a rose petal-covered bed or chocolate strawberries delivered to your room. When you need to relax, visit the 24,000 square-foot spa for facials and massages, followed by pool plunges, saunas, and steam rooms. End  the day at the year-round heated pool and hot tubs.

Built in 1938, The Snowpine Lodge was the first ski lodge built in the Wasatch Mountains’ Little Cottonwood Canyon. A recent renovation and expansion gave it new life as a four-star retreat, adding on a refined restaurant, après-ski bar, indoor game room, and outdoor pools and hot tubs, while also reviving every guest room.

From Snowpine, get unrivaled access to the “Greatest Snow on Earth” with ski-in / ski-out trails to Alta Ski Area’s famed slopes. If skiing isn’t enough of a workout, head to the fitness center for a couple’s workout session or group yoga class.

Explore the national park together on iconic trails like Angels Landing, a renowned climb with chain-assisted sections, or The Narrows, a wet slot canyon walk through the Virgin River.

Back at Cliffrose, take meditative walks hand-in-hand on paths cut through the lush desert foliage and blossoming flowers. Dine al fresco with your partner beneath blue skies and Zion cliffs on Anthera’s patio, or gather ’round outdoor fire pits on chilly desert evenings. Multiple pools and hot tubs give you privacy to relax under the stars.

Every room features hip furnishings and patios where the majesty of Zion is on full display. Spoil yourself and book a bright, airy suite if you plan to cook in the full kitchen or soak in the deep bathtub. Celebrating something special? Request a box of artisan chocolate delivered to your room.

The Waldorf Astoria in the mountains of Park City is no ordinary ski lodge. Instead of tired rustic décor and bear statues, expect a posh urban aesthetic straight out of New York City. Nestled in the Wasatch Mountains at the base of America’s largest ski resort, the Waldorf is the most luxurious option near Park City Mountain.

Ride the Frostwood Gondola—steps from the Waldorf’s door—then ski back to the hotel at day’s end. A hotel ski valet hauls and stores your gear, so you never have to lift a finger.
