Still having trouble deciding just how to spoil your significant other on Valentine's Day? Well, this package is financially beyond us, but if you've got the cash then The Setai is offering something that's kinda neat. But we're saying that from a woman's perspective: this one is hard work for the men.

The Setai's Valentine's Day Indulge-Her package is a two-night deal that costs $7,980 for a one-bedroom suite, anything up from $11,600 for larger suites and a grand total of $71,000 (!!!) if you book the penthouse.

And the whole deal works like this: the female half of the pair gets an afternoon at the spa, including four and a half hours of baths, facials and massages. Meantime, the male half will get a private cooking class with the Setai's chef so that he can prepare a special Valentine's meal for his (very relaxed) sweetheart to eat in their suite.

And we're not just throwing together some macaroni cheese or something, here's the menu:

Imperial Special Reserve Persicus "Ossetra" and Pacific Oysters Garnished with Green Apple Granite ... Next dishes include Coconut Milk and Chicken Soup Laced with Kaffir Lime Leaf followed by Crispy Peking Duck and Foie Gras Salad with Lychees, Pickled Cucumber, Pine Nuts and Plum Vinaigrette.

And just when she thinks it couldn't get any better, you present her with your new skill for making Wok Seared Spiny Lobster with Water Chestnuts, Ginger Root and Black Truffles. To top the dinner off you present her with the Passion Fruit Soufflé.

We're pretty sure that most men we know are going to need a lot more than an afternoon to learn how to cook all this lot. But at least they'd get big brownie points for trying.
