Summer Date Night Ideas In Tampa, FL

Published on August 11, 2023


The Tampa Bay area isn’t only a great place to visit as a family or group of friends: It’s also a primo vacationland for couples!

And you won’t find a better home base for dating it up around this watery wonderland in Central Florida than Saddlebrook Resort, offering 480 gorgeous and amenity-packed acres and some of the region’s finest accommodations in Wesley Chapel, FL.

A Summertime Getaway for Two in Greater Tampa

Our decked-out resort provides a heck of a launchpad for experiencing the many delights of the Tampa Bay area together.

You certainly won’t be hurting for date-night ideas. How about a sunset cruise out on Tampa Bay itself, relishing the subtropical vibes and swoony skyscape on the doorstep of the beautiful Gulf of Mexico?

Or dine out at a romantic restaurant on the heels of a full day of museum-going or amusement-park thrills spent together.

You can even go really old school in the date-night department and take advantage of one of several drive-in theaters still in operation around Greater Tampa. That includes the Silver Moon Drive-In Theatre not all that far from Saddlebrook Resort over in Lakeland, FL, which serves up double features seven nights a week. (Among the currently showing flicks include Barbie and Indiana Jones & The Dial of Destiny.)

Hiking local trails, tubing or paddling spring-fed streams, taking a boat tour seeking the Tampa Bay ecosystem’s abundant dolphin population, beach-hopping along the barrier islands edging Clearwater: Well, the sky’s just about the limit when it comes to day-tripping dates out of Saddlebrook Resort!

Saddlebrook Resort in Wesley Chapel, FL: The Ideal Central Florida Escape for Lovebirds

As it happens, our property itself comes chockablock with date-ready activities. Consider, for example, our adults-only Serenity Pool, the quieter, more relaxed counterpart to our sprawling Superpool (which, mind you, does offer cabana rentals that might be just the ticket for a date afternoon as well). The Serenity Pool awaits for a serene soak whenever the two of you declare the need for it.

And then there are our Saddlebrook Resort dining establishments, including the perfect date-night dinner spot at Dempsey’s Too. Or savor “Floribbean” small plates and refreshing, toast-worthy cocktails while gazing into one another’s eyes at our Pool Bar.

Simply strolling hand-in-hand through our gorgeous Walking Village grounds, landscaped with native Florida vegetation and quilted with our Arnold Palmer signature golf courses, is a deep pleasure.

And, of course, our luxurious accommodations, many of which take the form of spacious suites with full kitchens, function as superlative private oases.

Book your romantic escape to Greater Tampa here at Saddlebrook Resort today!
