Wondering how to treat your loved one on Valentine's Day? Forget rose petals and champagne, the real way to your other half's heart is by shelling out on decadent dining, helicopters, private stadiums and even a 40-piece orchestra. We've found three of the most over the top romantic ideas to show how much your partner means to you this February 14, ranging from under £500 to over £60,0000.

Enjoy a suite escape at the Park Tower Knightsbridge

You and your partner will be served a sumptuous tasting menu from its acclaimed fish restaurant, One-O-One, in the privacy of the exclusive Lowndes Penthouse Suite, which boasts wonderful views over the city.

French-born executive head chef Pascal Proyart has devised a special five-course menu: think pan fried scallops and a saffron egg pancakes drizzled in Armagnac Sauce Nantua, Besserat De Bellefont Champagne-parsley sabayon, swan choux pastry with and candied rose petal sorbet.

After all that, you and your partner can relax in the marble double bath and take in the spectacular views.
