Where can you go for a romantic weekend getaway less than 2 hours from Lille? (2026)

In less than 2 hours, you can reach the Opal Coast, Bruges, Ghent, or get lost in the Belgian countryside. That’s what we love about Lille: you don’t have to drive all day to feel like you’ve really gotten away. On Let’s Go My Love, we’re looking for exactly these kinds of little getaways that are easy to plan as a couple.

Check out both northern France and Belgium. You’ll find beautiful cabins, tiny houses, rooms with jacuzzis, and some truly unique accommodations surrounded by nature. For a one-night stay, we recommend staying within 1 hour and 30 minutes of Lille so you can truly enjoy your trip.

The Opal Coast is gorgeous in the off-season, but we also really love Belgium’s wilder spots and accommodations tucked away in the countryside. A cabin, a wood fire, maybe an outdoor hot tub, and absolutely no plans—that’s sometimes the best way to spend two days.

Bruges, Ghent, and Brussels are great options for a romantic getaway by train. You can leave in the morning, drop off your bags, and explore everything on foot once you arrive. It’s especially nice for a short weekend getaway when you don’t feel like spending several hours on the road.

Yes, and there are even plenty of options if you expand your search to include Belgium. On Let's Go My Love, we regularly feature unique suites and accommodations with private hot tubs in this area. Some are tucked away in the heart of nature and really make you feel like you've traveled much farther away.

Both! Head to France for the beach, the great outdoors, and the Opal Coast, and to Belgium for Bruges, Ghent, or a unique overnight stay in the countryside. Our tip: Don’t necessarily choose a destination right away. First, find a place to stay that really makes you want to go, and build your weekend around it.
