You'll need to take Friday off work to get the most from this.
Begin your day by checking into the ultra-luxurious Capella Singapore in the afternoon. Then enjoy a 150-minute in-villa spa treatment from Auriga spa with your partner.
This is followed by a five-course Valentine's Day Dinner at The Knolls, a Mediterranean restaurant boasting views of the sea.
Finally, commemorate your romance after dinner or the next day with a complimentary one-hour photoshoot by the award-winning Lightedpixels Photography on the resort grounds.
A two-night stay means taking your time to check out, and spreading Valentine's over two days which gives you time to indulge in extra attractions.
