Valentine’s Day may fall on Saturday, 14 February 2026, but at The Maslow Sandton, love is being celebrated all weekend long. The Sandton hotel has curated a series of experiences that turn Valentine’s into a relaxed yet luxurious three-day affair, perfect for couples, close friends or anyone looking to celebrate connection in style.
From elegant dining to laid-back garden picnics and indulgent overnight stays, the hotel’s Valentine’s programme is designed to take the pressure out of planning while dialling up the romance.
Love in Full Bloom: A Valentine’s weekend escape
Kicking off on Friday, 13 February, the Love in Full Bloom Weekend Escape invites guests to check in early and slow things down. The two-night package includes luxury accommodation, daily breakfast at Lacuna Bistro, a six-course Valentine’s dinner on Saturday evening, and a Graham Beck-infused Sunday Society picnic to close off the weekend.
It’s a seamless way to enjoy Valentine’s without rushing, combining fine dining, comfort and curated moments across the entire weekend.
Savour The Romance: A six-course Valentine’s dinner
The culinary centrepiece takes place on Saturday evening at Lacuna Bistro. Savour The Romance is an intimate six-course dining experience paired with live entertainment and a carefully considered menu designed around colour, flavour and indulgence.
Guests can expect everything from delicate beetroot-cured salmon to rich mains like beef fillet rossini or grilled sea bass, ending on a decadent chocolate and raspberry dessert. A welcome drink and dress code of red with a touch of white set the tone for a night that feels classic, polished and celebratory.
Sunday Society picnic with Graham Beck bubbles
Sunday shifts into a more relaxed rhythm with the Love in Bloom Sunday Society picnic. Set in the hotel’s gardens, the afternoon picnic blends gourmet comfort food, bubbles on arrival and live music. From kebabs and seafood to cheese boards and indulgent desserts, it’s designed for long conversations, slow sipping and an easy end to the weekend.
Guests can enjoy the picnic on its own or pair it with an overnight stay, complete with a romantic turndown and breakfast the next morning.

Valentine’s doesn’t have to be rushed or predictable. The Maslow Sandton’s 2026 line-up proves that sometimes the most meaningful celebrations are the ones that stretch beyond a single night and make space for food, rest and real connection.
