Some of the best romantic getaways don't require a passport, just a little sunshine, ocean air, and uninterrupted time together.

Nestled along the shores of Huntington Beach, Paséa Hotel & Spa offers couples the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and coastal California luxury. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, planning a surprise weekend away, or simply craving a few days to reconnect, Orange County sets the stage for romance at every turn.

Here's your guide to spending the perfect romantic getaway in Huntington Beach and beyond.

Day One: Arrive & Settle Into Coastal Romance

There's something special about the moment you arrive at the beach. The salty ocean air, the sound of the waves in the distance, and the feeling that, for the next few days, there is nowhere else you need to be.

After checking into Paséa Hotel & Spa, take your time settling into your room. Open the balcony doors, pour a glass of wine, and soak in the views of the Pacific Ocean together. This is your invitation to slow down.

Spend your first afternoon embracing vacation mode by the oceanfront pool. Reserve a private cabana, order a round of refreshing cocktails, and enjoy a leisurely afternoon in the California sunshine. Whether you're reading side by side, catching up over a bottle of rosé, or simply enjoying the warm breeze, these unhurried moments often become some of the most memorable.

As golden hour approaches, make your way to Treehouse on PCH. Perched above Pacific Coast Highway, the rooftop offers some of the most spectacular sunset views in Orange County. Find a cozy spot by the fire pit, sip on handcrafted cocktails, and watch as the sky transforms into shades of pink, orange, and gold.

For dinner, head downstairs to Lōrea, where fresh coastal cuisine and an inviting atmosphere set the scene for a romantic evening. Share a few dishes, linger over dessert, and savor the simple pleasure of having nowhere to be except right here, together.

If you're not quite ready to call it a night, take a moonlit stroll along the beach before returning to your room. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean may just be the perfect start to your romantic escape.

For Your Itinerary

Stay: Check into an ocean-view room or suite at Paséa Hotel & Spa and toast the start of your getaway from your private balcony.

Sip: Begin your romantic weekend with sunset cocktails at Treehouse on PCH.

Dine: Enjoy a leisurely dinner at Lōrea featuring fresh coastal cuisine, handcrafted cocktails, and an intimate ambiance perfect for date night.

Day Two: Discover the Best of Orange County Together

Wake up slowly and enjoy one of the greatest luxuries of vacation: an unhurried morning. Order breakfast to your room or sip coffee on your private balcony as the sun rises over Huntington Beach. With nowhere to rush off to, it's the perfect opportunity to simply enjoy each other's company.

After breakfast, set out to explore the best of Orange County together. Cruise along Pacific Coast Highway with the windows down and the ocean breeze in the air, making stops in nearby Newport Beach, Corona del Mar, or Laguna Beach. Spend the day wandering charming boutiques, discovering hidden beaches, and taking in breathtaking coastal views.

For couples who love to shop and dine, South Coast Plaza offers an unforgettable afternoon of luxury shopping, exceptional restaurants, and leisurely moments together. Whether you're indulging in a little retail therapy or simply exploring somewhere new, there's something romantic about spending the day with no agenda other than enjoying each other's company.

Back at the resort, dedicate the rest of the afternoon to relaxation at Aarna Spa. Inspired by the healing traditions of Bali and the calming energy of the ocean, the spa offers a serene escape from everyday life. Book side-by-side treatments, unwind in the relaxation lounge or couples soaking tub, and embrace a slower pace together.

As evening approaches, head to the iconic Huntington Beach Pier for one of Southern California's most beautiful sunsets. Watch surfers catch the last waves of the day, listen to the rhythm of the ocean, and take in the magic of the moment.

For dinner, venture to nearby Pacific City and enjoy an evening of oceanfront dining, live music, and post-dinner cocktails. The combination of beachside energy and laid-back coastal charm makes for the perfect date night.

For Your Itinerary

Explore: Spend the day discovering the coastal charm of Laguna Beach, from art galleries and boutiques to hidden coves and scenic overlooks.

Relax: Reconnect with a couple's massage or side-by-side spa treatments at Aarna Spa.

Date Night: Enjoy sunset views from Huntington Beach Pier followed by an evening of dining and live music at Pacific City.

Day Three: Savor Every Last Moment

There's something bittersweet about the final morning of a getaway, which is why it's worth slowing down and soaking in every last moment.

Sleep in a little longer, order breakfast in bed, and spend the morning enjoying the ocean views from your balcony. Watch the morning light dance across the Pacific and appreciate the simple joy of uninterrupted time together.

Before heading home, take one final stroll along the Huntington Beach shoreline. Walk barefoot in the sand, collect seashells, or simply sit and listen to the waves. It's often these quiet moments that become the memories you carry with you long after your trip has ended.

If your schedule allows, extend the romance with one more leisurely lunch at Lōrea or a final cocktail at Treehouse on PCH before departing.

As you leave Paséa, you'll likely find yourself already planning your return. Because some places have a way of turning an ordinary weekend into something unforgettable—and few destinations do romance quite like the California coast.

For Your Itinerary

Slow Down: Enjoy breakfast in bed and one final morning overlooking the Pacific.

Stroll: Take a leisurely walk along Huntington Beach before heading home.

One Last Toast: End your getaway with lunch at Lōrea or a farewell cocktail at Treehouse on PCH and start planning your next escape to the coast.
