Valentine's Day 2027 in Kochi: Events & Date Ideas
Valentine's Day 2027 falls on Sunday 14 February, so most of Kochi's celebrations will be spread over the weekend of 13 and 14 February, at the end of a Valentine's week that starts with Rose Day on 7 February. February is one of the best months in the city: the rains are over, the evenings are dry and the humidity is at its lowest of the year. Hotels do most of the organising. The waterside properties at Bolgatty, Willingdon Island and Maradu sell candlelight dinners and poolside tables, the Kochi Marriott at Edappally and restaurants in Panampilly Nagar and on MG Road run set menus, and resorts at Cherai and Kumbalangi offer overnight packages. For something less formal, walk Marine Drive at sunset, take a sunset cruise from the jetties there, or ride the Water Metro to Fort Kochi for the fishing nets, a Kathakali show and dinner. Comedy rooms and cafés add couples' workshops, acoustic nights and stand-up through the week, and candlelight-style concerts are usually announced a few weeks ahead. This page lists Valentine's events as they go on sale; book early for the Saturday and Sunday.

Good to know
- Reserve dinner by the first week of February. Waterside tables for 13 and 14 February go first.
- Check whether a set menu is compulsory on the day and whether the price is per person or per couple.
- For a sunset cruise from Marine Drive, agree the fare and duration before boarding and reach the jetty by 5 pm.
- If you are going to Fort Kochi, check the last Water Metro boat back or book a cab for the return.
