In need of a romantic getaway but don't want to venture too far from home? I've got you! From charming accommodations to scenic attractions, brunch, the spa and a romantic dinner here's an easy to follow plan for the perfect weekend retreat.
1. Cozy Accommodations
Start your staycation off right by booking a cozy and intimate accommodation. Norman offers a variety of charming options, from boutique hotels to bed and breakfasts. For a more luxurious feel check out the NOUN hotel. For a cozy and historic night check out The Montford Inn or the Manor Bed & Breakfast. These are nestled in the downtown area and won't disappoint!
2. Leisurely Brunch
Kick off your staycation with a leisurely brunch at one of Norman's eateries and savor a delicious breakfast fare while enjoying each other's company. My top suggestions would be Juan de Fuego, Neighborhood Jam, Syrup and Redrock.
3. Outdoor Adventure
After a good nights rest and classic brunch, embark on an outdoor adventure! Lace up your hiking boots and hit the trails at Sutton Park, Lake Thunderbird or even take a drive to Mt. Scott near Lawton. If you're an avid biker, hit the trails at Lake Stanley Draper. If you're up for a more thrilling adventure, take a quick drive to Oklahoma City and go kayaking at the Riversport Adventure park!
4. Couples Spa Retreat
Now you're ready for some relaxation! Indulge in some well-deserved pampering with a couples spa retreat. Treat yourselves to a luxurious massage, facial, or body treatment at one of Norman's top-rates spas. Relax and unwind as skilled therapists work their magic, melting away stress and soreness from head to toe. Might I suggest making a reservation at Le Visage Spa or Aura Spa.
5. Romantic Dinner for Two
End your day with a romantic dinner for two at one of Norman's acclaimed restaurants. Set the mood with soft lighting, intimate setting and delectable cuisine. Treat yourselves to a gourmet meal featuring locally sourced ingredients and expertly crafted dishes. Toast to your love with a bottle of wine or champagne, and savor each moment as you indulge in a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend dining at the Ranch, Legend's, or Benvenuti's! You can't go wrong with any of these options!
6. Stargazing Under the Oklahoma Sky
Finish off your couple staycation with a touch of romance by stargazing under the Oklahoma sky. Find a secluded spot away from the city lights and spread out a blanket to lay under the stars. With the vast dark sky and twinkling lights your love is sure to reaffirm for each other.
Have the best time!
