For many Romanians, Valentine’s Day is not only an opportunity to celebrate love, but also a perfect opportunity for a mini-vacation in special places. According to an insult survey conducted in 2024, 18% of Romanians celebrate Valentine’s Day, 26% choose Dragobetele, and 14% mark both holidays.

In a Romania in which young people between the ages of 15 and 29 represent only 15.8% of the population, romance seems to lose their brilliance. For more than half of Romanians (56% – increasing percentage compared to the previous year), the days dedicated to love – whether we are talking about Valentine’s Day or Dragobete – go unobserved, without symbolic gestures, gifts or special traditions. This tendency is not only a mere change of habits, but reflects a deeper reality: in a society in full transformation, with an aging population and more pragmatic concerns, the holidays of love lose ground in the face of everyday worries. As the priorities change, and young generations become less and less, traditional romance risks being replaced by a more pragmatic vision of daily relationships and life.
Although romance seems to lose ground among Romanians, the hotel industry continues to rely on those who choose to transform the month of love into an pampering occasion. Hotels and springs in the country have prepared special offers in advance for those who still believe in the magic of romantic gestures.
Sovata remains one of the favorite destinations for couple escapades, and those who choose to spend a weekend dedicated to love have high expectations: premium rooms, elegant ones, room service and, especially, access to heated pools and SPA centers.
But how much does such a romantic stay actually cost? Prices vary depending on the degree of comfort desired, and the increased demand causes reservations to be exhausted quickly. Even though many Romanians indifferently treat these holidays, for those who still appreciate them, a romantic getaway remains an unmoved tradition in February.
