The best date ideas in Hong Kong for Valentine’s Day this year

Stuck in a room with your date? Solve puzzles, crack codes, and see if you can escape before time runs out. The adrenaline will get your hearts racing in no time.

Blast off into the cosmos without even leaving the city. Geek out over space tech, catch a show at the Space Theatre, and maybe even hold hands under the stars.

Looking for a Valentine’s gift beyond flowers and dinner? A private rooftop sound date will nurture your partner’s body and soul. Led by Kate, a certified mindfulness and sound practitioner, the sound bath session blends premium gongs, Tibetan singing bowls, and crystal bowls to help couples release tension and enter a deeply intimate, shared state – creating space for presence, closeness, and emotional ease. Savour a unique moment of connection above the city, under the open sky. Experience it as a romantic sound date for two, or offer it as a restorative reset for your partner – gift certificates are available. Discover more on Instagram: @kate_soundstudio. Book here.

There’s something about romance that will make you feel like a kid all over again – so Disneyland is the perfect place! Ride the roller coasters, meet Mickey, and share an overpriced churro. It’s cheesy, but hey, so’s romance.

Strap on some skates and hit the rink at Bun’s 2020 in Quarry Bay. Whether you’re a pro or a wobbly beginner, it’s a fun way to laugh together and break the ice. Plus, you'll have plenty of excuses to hold each other’s hands.

In the same vein as roller rinks, ice skating is a great date idea – especially if one or both of you are not very good at balancing on thin blades on slippery ice. The cold and the inevitable flailing will have you grabbing on clothes, giggling, and holding each other close in no time.

Channel your inner artist and try glassblowing or glassware making. It’s hot and messy, and no matter how the date went, you’ll still walk away with a unique handmade piece.

Wander through different streets and alleyways around Sheung Wan to discover vibrant murals and graffiti. They’re colourful, Insta-worthy, and a great way to show off your artsy side.

Take a trip to Sha Tau Kok, a once-restricted area near the mainland Chinese border. Explore the historic streets, markets, and waterfront for a glimpse of old Hong Kong. 

Bond over giving back to the community by volunteering at local charities like Feeding Hong Kong, Impact HK, HandsOn, and many more. It’s meaningful and heartwarming, so even if your date sucked, you’ll still feel great at the end.

Grab a blanket, some snacks, and your favourite human. Lounge on the grass, take a romantic stroll along the promenade, or bring your fur babies to catch the sunset. Bonus points if you pull out a bottle of wine.

You can pretty much spend the whole day here. Wander the galleries, sip coffee in the courtyard, learn some history, and impress your date by pretending you know anything about art.

Nothing says ‘I’m trying to impress you’ like expensive cocktails and a panoramic cityscape. Sip on fancy drinks during sunset hours for maximum swooning, and if the conversation lags, just point at the view and say, ‘Wow’. Works every time.

Swap the city buzz for sea breezes. Walk the promenade, grab a seat along the 100-m-long breakwater, and let the sound of waves do the talking.

We can’t stress enough the importance of shared humour in a relationship. Catch a comedy show, giggle at terrible jokes, and maybe even roast each other a little. Check the events calendar at comedy.hk to find a show that will suit both of you. 

This tiny island is big on charm. Discover artsy treasures at the old leather factory, stuff your faces with local bites, and hike up Finger Hill to the Ngan Chau Tsai Pavilion, where you can take in panoramic views of Lamma Island, Discovery Bay, and the Southside. 

Stilt houses, salty air, and the occasional dolphin sighting (if you’re lucky). It’s rustic, romantic, and a world away from the city chaos.

Arcade games, VR adventures, and a chance to show off your sporty side. Winner buys dinner?

Dating doesn’t always have to be one-on-one. Round up your squad and hit the lanes. Just don’t blame us if it gets a little too competitive.

Sun, sand, and maybe a little PDA. Pack a picnic, take a dip, and pretend you’re on a tropical getaway.

Mudflats, golden skies, and an atmosphere so peaceful you’ll forget you’re in Hong Kong. Bring a camera and your best sunset-watching playlist.

Yes, we know it’s predictable, but you can’t argue that the views are amazing. Plus, this is way cheaper than a helicopter ride, and you still get to kiss your date up in the air.
