Maybe you have a tradition celebrating Valentine's Day, or maybe you're not that type that plans too much ahead. While a romantic dinner in a restaurant or a weekend getaway are common ways to celebrate, why not try a new valentine's day idea this year by renting a unique space to spend the day or evening? So, who's ready to get a little creative and spend the day somewhere off the beaten track? Scroll down, pick your favorite space, download the app and pack your bags to one of these romantic places...and feel the love in the air.

Here are some tips for booking a private space for your Valentine's Day celebration:

1. Choose the right venue: You can browse the website for spaces or download the Cocom app to find spaces available for rent. Make sure the space fits your needs and the atmosphere aligns with your preferences.
2. Plan ahead: Just like booking a table in a romantic restaurant, booking a private space for Valentine's Day can be competitive. So it's best to plan ahead and reserve your space well in advance.
3. Consider food options: Check if the space includes a kitchen. Some spaces come with a fully equipped kitchen, so you might wanna surprise your date with a dinner made by yours truly. Just don't forget to do groceries... No kitchen? No problem! Go with the flow and order your favorite food delivered to the door. Nothing says romance like slurping noodles from a takeaway box.
4. Personalize the experience: Music, candles, bottle of wine? Bring them! How cool is it that you can fully customize this experience by adding your personal touch. With your favorite Spotify list, your favorite bottle of wine (instead of the overpriced one in restaurants), your favorite food... Take advantage of these options to make your Valentine's Day celebration even more special.
