A Romantic Getaway in Wisconsin Dells

Couple dining at Sundara Inn & Spa

October 15, 2020


There are plenty of reasons, besides Valentine's Day, to plan a romantic getaway: honeymoon, babymoon, anniversary, a little getaway to reconnect when life gets busy. And there are plenty of reasons to choose Wisconsin Dells for that getaway. Let’s review those reasons.

Fabulous Resorts and Getaways

There are several romantic resorts and getaways tucked into the Wisconsin Dells area. Sundara Inn & Spa: This adults-only destination spa ranks high on the list for exclusivity and tranquility. The spa offers a purifying bath ritual, meditation trail, hammocks, and luxury accommodations. Kalahari Resorts & Conventions and Wilderness Resort: These resorts offer cozy, comfortable condos with a lot of amenities. Sand County Service Company: This option gives you and your loved one an intimate cabin and beautiful views. 

Couples Activities

There are plenty of couples activities in Wisconsin Dells. The most romantic things to do in the Wisconsin Dells are:

  • Visit a local winery, brewery or distillery
  • Relax at a highly-rated spa and salon
  • Enjoy live music & shows
  • Play your luck at the local casino
  • Explore the outdoors and go for a hike, bike or walk together

If you’re into tastings, take a tour at one of the wineries, breweries or distilleries that call the Wisconsin Dells area home. Fawn Creek Winery is a charming little winery on the north side of the Dells. They have an expansive series of outdoor patios in the pines, great entertainment in the summer months, and a nice little menu of appetizers to share. Baraboo Bluff Winery is just south of the Dells, tucked onto a scenic hillside with incredible views of the ancient bluffs. At Dells Distillery, they serve their own distilled vodka, whiskey, brandy and rum. Wollersheim Winery & Distillery was first established in the 1840s and the property’s vibe is certainly historic. They boast award-winning wines and opened their new distillery building in 2015. Wisconsin Dells Brewing Co.Wisconsin Brew Pub and Tumbled Rock Brewery & Kitchen are great spots to sip on microbrews.

Besides Sundara Inn & Spa, there are several other spas in the area that offer couples massages and special treatments. Spa Del Sol and Pink Nail Bar at Chula Vista Resort, Spa Kalahari & Salon and Spa Serenity are some of the options.

For excellent live music acts and gaming options, visit Ho-Chunk Gaming, Wisconsin Dells. Rick Wilcox Magic Theater is a Vegas-quality magic show that consistently ranks #1 on TripAdvisor. If you’re the competitive type, consider some of the sports in town. There are seven golf courses here, plus go-karts, zip lines, mini-golf, bowling, and arcade games.

If outdoor adventure or soothing nature is your thing, keep in mind that we have three state parks surrounding us: Rocky Arbor State Park, Mirror Lake State Park and Devil’s Lake State Park. You can find hiking at all three and canoe/kayak rentals on Mirror Lake and Devil’s Lake (rentals available seasonally). For a short outing, take a romantic stroll on the Scenic River Walk in downtown Wisconsin Dells.

Romantic Dining

When it comes to romantic dining, our thoughts immediately turn to the fine supper clubs and steakhouses in the area such as:

Turtle treats.

Sweet Escape

Besides the spa treatments and activities, we have a few more recommendations for splurging. Wisconsin Dells wouldn’t be the same without its fudge shops. Try Swiss Maid Fudge or Original Wisconsin Dells Fudge. If your timing is right, you can even watch them hand-making fresh batches of fudgy goodness. Goody Goody Gum Drop, Kernel Popcorn’s Factory/Aunt Jenny’s Candy Kitchen, Sweet Hut at Kalahari, and Oodlesmack Popcorn offer additional candy and popcorn sweets and treats to enjoy in the moment or to take home for later.

If you’re exploring downtown, head to Winnebago Gift Shop which has been in the business of outfitting Wisconsin Dells visitors with resort wear and souvenirs since 1949.
