Valentine’s Day isn’t just about flowers and dinner reservations. It’s about escaping the noise. Reconnecting. Creating moments that stay with you long after the weekend ends.
This year, imagine trading Nairobi’s traffic and crowded restaurants for something different: mountain air that carries the scent of cedar and wild sage. Candlelit dinners where the only interruption is the crackle of a bonfire. Mornings where you wake to the sight of Mt. Kenya’s peaks catching the first light.
Jaqanaz Resort, nestled in the heart of Nanyuki’s highlands, offers couples a Valentine’s weekend that blends intimacy with adventure, luxury with the raw beauty of nature. Whether you’re driving up from Nairobi for a weekend escape or you’re already nearby in Laikipia or Nyeri, this is where you press pause on everything else.
February 13-15, 2026 — mark your calendars. This is when love gets the celebration it deserves.
Why Choose Jaqanaz for Your Valentine’s Escape
There’s something about celebrating love surrounded by nature that changes everything. Here, Valentine’s isn’t rushed through a two-hour dinner slot. It unfolds slowly, deliberately, across an entire weekend.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel it: the cool mountain breeze on your skin, the quiet that settles over you like a blanket, the space to actually look at each other without distraction. While city hotels offer Valentine’s packages, Jaqanaz offers something rarer—privacy, serenity, and a landscape that makes everything feel more significant.
This is what couples from across Kenya have been searching for: a Valentine’s getaway in Nanyuki that doesn’t feel manufactured or forced, but genuine and unforgettable.
Romance Meets Adventure
Love doesn’t always have to be candlelight and whispers. Sometimes it’s exhilarating. Your Valentine’s weekend at Jaqanaz can include all of this:
Romantic touches that matter: Walk into a superior room that’s been transformed just for you—rose petals, soft lighting, every detail considered. It sets the tone before you’ve even unpacked. And every lady receives a fresh rose upon arrival, because some gestures never go out of style.
The heated pool: There’s something about floating together under an open sky, steam rising around you, mountains in every direction. Come back after dark and watch the stars emerge, the water warm against the cool night air. It’s intimate without trying to be.
Bonfire nights: The snap of wood, the warmth on your faces, the conversation that flows easier when you’re watching flames dance. This is where the best stories get told, where you remember things you’d forgotten about each other, where silence feels comfortable instead of awkward.
Shared thrills: Launch across the valley on our zipline, the wind rushing past, your laughter echoing off the hills. Try the sky bike—there’s something surreal about pedaling through the air with your person beside you. Challenge each other on the high ropes course, where encouragement matters more than winning. There’s something about conquering fear together that brings you closer than any candlelit dinner ever could.
Mountain mornings: Wake to views that make you reach for your camera, then put it down because you’d rather just look. Breakfast tastes different when Mt. Kenya is your backdrop, when the only agenda is savoring the moment.
Entertainment and Atmosphere
As the sun sets over the Mt. Kenya landscape, the energy shifts.
Our live DJ brings the perfect soundtrack to your evening—music that makes you want to move, to laugh, to pull your partner onto an impromptu dance floor under the stars. It’s not a club. It’s not forced. It’s just the right vibe for couples who want their Valentine’s to feel alive.
You might find yourselves dancing. You might find yourselves by the bonfire, drinks in hand, swaying to the music from a distance. Either way, it’s the kind of spontaneous joy that reminds you dating doesn’t end just because you’re committed.
A Weekend Designed Around You
If you’ve been searching for a Valentine’s staycation in Kenya that doesn’t feel manufactured, you’ve found it.
Spend your mornings wrapped in blankets with coffee on your private balcony. Spend your afternoons exploring—ziplining through the trees, unwinding in the spa, or doing absolutely nothing by the pool. Spend your evenings with music, firelight, and the kind of quiet you forgot existed in the city.
This is what a real staycation should feel like. No rigid schedule. No pressure to be anywhere at any specific time. Just you, your person, and a beautiful setting that makes everything easier.
For couples coming from Nairobi, it’s a revelation—you’re only a few hours away, yet it feels like a different world entirely. For those already in Laikipia, Nyeri, or the surrounding areas, it’s the perfect excuse to be a tourist in your own backyard.
