There’s something to be said for far-flung getaways with that special someone. But a spontaneous weekend just an hour or so from home can be just as romantic—especially in Texas.
Our wide-open skies and diverse locales—from deserts to beaches to piney woods—serve as perfect backdrops for romantic getaways, and these 11 easy-to-love boutique properties are just short drives from major cities around the state. So book a room, pack a bag (and maybe a bottle of bubbly), and escape with your sweetheart.
