10 Romantic Things to do in Second Life

In celebration of Valentine's Day tomorrow, I thought I'd share 10 romantic things to do in SL. Because SL is such a vast world, our experiences and places we visit are different just as it is with RL. So, I hope you get some new ideas from this list.

1. Take a swan ride.

If you haven't visited the beautiful art park called RiverWalk, you are missing something special. RiverWalk holds a very special place in my heart. It's a beautiful serene place to walk and look at beautiful art, eat at the cafe tables, play a game or take a romantic ride on the river in a swan.

The swan ride is L$5, and a great experience to slowly take a ride through the beauty of RiverWalk with your sweetie. I highly suggest you click one of the swans at the dock first and read the instructions before going any further.

2. Dance in a beautiful winter wonderland.

SL is host to a wide array of clubs and ballrooms for every type of dancing pleasure. The quietness of the snowfall all around you and the romantic music makes the Winter Palace Ballroom one of my "picture perfect" places to dance with a special someone.

3. See a movie under the stars.

Second Cinema has both a drive-in and a theater. From what I can tell, the drive-in hosts comedies and lighter movies and the theater hosts scary movies. When I visited "Pretty in Pink" was playing at the drive in and "New Nightmare" was playing at the theater.

4. Relax in the clouds.

On the beautiful sim, The Lost Gardens of Apollo, the skyline hosts views of tall, elegant towers reaching into the clouds. You'll find cuddle and relax balls at the top of the towers surrounded by the shear elegance of decor. The ambiance makes it a wonderful place to relax and chat with your sweetie.

5. Tuck away in the quietness of a tranquil cave.

The beauty and serenity of Midnight Reflections makes it a perfect place for a romantic excursion. Walk along the paths surrounding the cliffs of the lake and you will discover peaceful caves complete with cuddle rugs and poseballs to make your evening romantic.

6. Enjoy a quiet, romantic dinner.

Bella Bistro has low lighting, soft music, a stylish interior adorned with elegant paintings. There is an extensive menu. Just click your placemat to order.

7. Soak in a tranquil hot tub among Asian splendor.

Among the Asian shops and scenery are shelters with games and little romantic niches. My favorite is a small pool that the small waterfall of a stream empties into. It's located under the geisha training school.

8. Bask in the elegance of a top spa together.

The SS Galaxy has many amenities for the couple that wants a little romance. The spa is like no other in SL. It's very class and has couple oriented pose balls in many places including the sauna, shower, and massage room.

9. Go horseback riding into the sunset.

SL hosts many places where you can find horses and riding trails. AKK Horse Ranch has both. You can even find a free horse to try out. Take your Valentine for a trot across the winding, scenic trails.

10. Warm up by a roaring beach fire.

The Cape gives you lots of opportunities for cuddling on the beach. In the center of it all is a roaring fire to warm up while cuddling with your sweetie.
