Valentine’s Day may fall on 14 February, but in 2026, love doesn’t end in a single evening. This year, The Maslow Sandton invites couples, friends and loved ones to stretch the romance across an entire weekend with a thoughtfully curated Love in Full Bloom experience—combining luxury accommodation, fine dining and a refined Sunday Society picnic.
While Valentine’s Day is traditionally about romance, it is also a moment to celebrate connection in all its forms—partners, best friends and even parents. The Maslow Sandton’s Valentine’s weekend offerings reflect exactly that spirit: elegant, indulgent and designed to be shared.
The Love in Full Bloom Weekend Escape
Friday the 13th proves to be anything but unlucky as it marks the start of The Love in Full Bloom Weekend Escape, available from R7 338 per couple, saving nearly R500.
This luxurious two-night celebration allows guests to arrive on Friday, 13 February, unwind in sophisticated comfort, and enjoy a weekend dedicated to connection, indulgence and ease.
The package includes:
-
Two nights’ luxury accommodation (check-in Friday, 13 February; check-out Sunday, 15 February)
-
Daily breakfast at Lacuna Bistro
-
Savour The Romance six-course Valentine’s dinner on Saturday evening

Savour The Romance: A Valentine’s Culinary Affair
Taking place on Saturday, 14 February 2026, from 18h30 to 22h00, Savour The Romance transforms Lacuna Bistro into an intimate Valentine’s dining destination, complete with live entertainment and an elegant atmosphere.

The evening begins with a beetroot-cured salmon rose with crème fraîche and citrus pearls, followed by a chilled beetroot velouté with caramelised gold beets, goat’s cheese foam and balsamic pearls.
For the entrée, guests enjoy chicken and mushroom tortellini with burnt orange reduction and sage butter.

-
Beef fillet rossini with bone marrow, red wine jus, arancini and rainbow baby carrots
or -
Grilled sea bass with saffron beurre blanc, tabouleh, baby fennel and pickled lemon
Dessert is a decadent finale: chocolate and raspberry dome with almond praline and gold leaf.
The dinner is priced at R1 700 per couple, including a welcome drink, dinner and live entertainment.
