We all know that Valentine's Day is the most romantic day of the year. But it can be challenging to find something new to do if you've been with your partner for a while. Well, this year, why not go above and beyond romance-wise by renewing your vows? Better yet, do it in a stunning location. Hotels across the globe are offering vow renewal packages this year that might even beat your original wedding. Here are eight incredible options.

Say "I Do" Again In St. Vincent & Grenadines
Mandarin Oriental Canouan is an intimate property that does vow renewals regularly. Why? Well, it's one of the only resorts that has an on-site 17th Century church (now non-denominational) right on the property of the resort as a vow renewal ceremony option. It's gorgeous and was brought over stone by stone from London in the 17th Century. With so much interest, the luxury property decided to create a vow renewal package. It includes a ceremony in the church, a bouquet, tropical boutonniere, private dining under the stars, signature Canouan Cake Dance, and a next-day spa service in the resort's exclusive over-water spa bungalow.

Journey To The Heart Package In Australia
Several remote and romantic spots pepper the islands of the Great Barrier Reef and help curate the ultimate secluded setting for a vow renewal ceremony in the Whitsundays. But the best one of all has to be the reef shaped like a heart. Here, celebrants can scuba to the ceremony, and couples take the plunge, literally, off the back of boats. And private resort qualia can help make that happen with its Journey to the Heart package. You'll take a 30-minute helicopter ride over the Whitsunday Islands and Whitehaven Beach before arriving at Heart Island. There you'll board a futuristic glass-bottom boat, designed for Heart Island. Once there, guests will have the opportunity to snorkel around the coral before returning to Heart Island for a swim and mini ceremony if you want. Since four people can come, bring along an officiant to lead the vow renewal ceremony.
Wild At Heart Package In The Serengeti
The Four Seasons Safari Lodge recently unveiled the Sherehe wedding package that can also be used for vow renewals. The ceremony takes place in the stunning Serengeti wilderness, where local Maasai watch over and perform a tribal dance that signifies the start of a new life together.
