Romantic Places to Propose in the Caribbean

A wedding proposal should be a memorable event in the history of a couple’s life together. Finding the right setting can help ensure that the memories are even sweeter. 

With its wide variety of island backdrops — including pristine beaches and chic luxury resorts — the Caribbean offers many enticing locations for planning a romantic moment to pop the question. 

To help set the stage, some hotels in the Caribbean offer proposal and romance packages that include a variety of amenities and experiences, as well as the services of a dedicated on-site planner. Here are some of the top options from around the region. 

Antigua and Barbuda 

Blue Waters Resort & Spa in Antigua offers a Sunset Champagne Experience that includes canapes and glasses of bubbly at the resort’s clifftop spa, setting the stage for couples to blissfully relax while contemplating the rest of their lives together. The hotel’s private dining experiences, which can take place barefoot on the beach or in a private gazebo atop a cliff, can also lay the groundwork for a romantic proposal. 

Aruba

At Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino, a Sunset Concierge can help arrange proposals that take place during private dinners on the beach or next to a waterfall. The hotel’s Sunset Concierge Proposal Offer includes a private dining experience with a “surprise” dessert, two welcome glasses of sparkling wine and a custom-designed arch with a flower arrangement and marquee lettering that spells out “I do.”

Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino, meanwhile, offers a Toes in the Sand & a Ring on the Hand package that includes dinner for two at the beachfront Atardi restaurant, a 45-minute photography session and a bottle of Moet Chandon. Lovebirds also have the option of adding a couples massage.

In the Bahamas, Cove Eleuthera offers an Eleutheran Engagement package that includes accommodations in an oceanfront villa; a custom floral arrangement; a photographer to document the proposal; a one-hour sunset cruise with strawberries cheese and bubbly; a private, three-course dinner in the guestroom or on the beach; and romantic room decorations that can include a special turndown with flower petals. 

At The Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort, Bahamas, couples who indulge in the Love is in the Air - Romance Package receive daily breakfast for two, one dinner for two at Dune by Jean-Georges restaurant, a bottle of champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries and one candlelit bath with rose petals.

In Barbados, meanwhile, a designated Proposal Concierge at O2 Beach Club & Spa works with couples to create custom proposal experiences that can include experiences such as private dinners on the beach, private sunset viewings with champagne and even the services of a “hidden photographer” to document the magical moment without spoiling the couple’s vibe.
