Step 1
Plan a trip to a picturesque locale such as the Florida Keys. The historic homes and indulgent resorts of the Keys make it a romantic locale throughout the year. Go snorkeling to see one of the world's biggest coral reefs and then relax on the beach. You can get to the Keys by driving down from Miami or by flying into the Marathon or Key West airport via a small commercial airline.

Step 2
Consider staying at an island off the coast of Florida. The barrier islands offer spectacular scenery and a retreat from the hectic pace of life. Some of the most romantic islands include: St. George Island, Amelia Island, Marco Island, Hutchinson Island and Cayo Costa. All of these islands have historic buildings to explore and interesting plant and animal life to see. Boca Chita has all of these, plus a historic lighthouse.

Step 3
Stay at a resort. Resorts in Florida generally have spa services sure to relax you for your romantic weekend. Get a couple's massage and relax in a sauna before lying on the beach and watching the sunset.

Step 4
Look for a bed and breakfast or a historic home if you want more intimate accommodations. Historic homes, such as the Sundy House of Delray Beach are usually quieter and more isolated than a hotel room. Bed and breakfasts, like the Banyan House in Venice, come with a built in guide who can tell you the best places to visit in the area. Choose a picturesque Victorian bed and breakfast that is located near the beach, like the Cedar House Inn in historic St. Augustine.

Step 5
Leave your worries behind. To have a romantic weekend, leave your everyday worries and revel in your surroundings, and in each other. Let yourself wake up without an alarm clock, and keep your schedule flexible to keep stress to a minimum. If you miss that session of swimming with the dolphins, there are plenty of things you could do in your hotel room instead.
