1. Private Candlelight Dinner Proposal
Table for two... and a forever kind of question.
Imagine a secluded beachfront table lit by flickering candlelight and the sound of waves in the background. Sandals offers romantic private dinners with full butler service and champagne. You can time your proposal with the dessert course or make it extra memorable by having the ring delivered with the final toast.
Add-on idea: Surprise your partner with live musicians or a small fireworks show arranged in advance!

2. Proposal in an Overwater Bungalow
Glass floor. Ocean breeze. Dreamy privacy.
There’s something effortlessly romantic about being surrounded by turquoise waters. Sandals’ overwater bungalows in Jamaica and St. Lucia offer the ideal mix of privacy and luxury. Propose on your private deck at sunset, or surprise them with a floating breakfast tray that spells “Will you marry me?” in fresh fruit.
Bonus idea: Have your Sandals butler coordinate a hidden photographer or video reveal.
3. Skypool Suite Sunrise Moment
Infinity pool meets forever kind of love.
Start the day with a sunrise breakfast in a Sandals Skypool Suite, complete with a floating tray and sparkling wine. Hide the ring in a mimosa or inside a napkin ring for a quiet, intimate proposal in your private infinity pool with sweeping ocean views.
Pro Tip: Coordinate with a photographer to snap the moment from a nearby balcony.
4. Sunset Catamaran Proposal Cruise
Sail off into forever.
A sunset cruise is already a dreamy vacation experience—why not turn it into a proposal? Charter a private or semi-private catamaran with Sandals, and when the light hits just right, get down on one knee. You’ll be surrounded by the sea, sky, and love.
Add-on idea: Ask the crew to play your favorite song or have champagne waiting on deck.

5. Waterfall Proposal on a Sandals Excursion
Tropical adventure meets fairytale ending.
Sandals excursions take you beyond the resort—and into picture-perfect moments. Plan a surprise proposal at a breathtaking waterfall like Dunn’s River Falls or in a lush tropical garden. Ask your guide to snap a “posed” photo and surprise your partner with a proposal mid-shot.
Bonus: Book a couples massage back at the resort to wind down and celebrate together.
