A vacation with a partner is more than an escape from daily life; it’s a chance to create lasting memories in a special place. But what if it could turn into something even more unforgettable? Picture yourself asking the big question surrounded by stunning views and an atmosphere only travel can create…
If the ultimate romantic gesture is on your mind, discover five creative ways to elevate it.
Dive headfirst into love
What about asking for forever than beneath the waves? Imagine dropping to one knee in an underwater world, with colorful fish swimming all around. Your partner will be completely immersed with the clarity of the ocean surrounding you.
You could even present a halo engagement ring as a symbol of your never-ending love, with the sparkle of the ocean’s light reflecting off its curves. Just make sure to choose a waterproof option!
Take your relationship to new heights
Floating high above the earth in a hot air balloon creates a spectacular setting. As the sun sets or rises, you’ll share a panoramic view and a quiet, serene atmosphere ‒ allowing you to focus on each other without distractions.
To make the occasion even more memorable, try having a bottle of champagne waiting at your destination. The thrill of floating in the sky combined with this celebratory touch will create a day to treasure forever.
Reach peak romance
If you share an appreciation for nature and hiking, why not take your proposal to the top of a mountain? The physical journey to reach the summit symbolizes your commitment to each other, while the view from the top is your reward.
You could prepare a picnic and ask what’s on your mind with the world spread out before you. Just hope for good visibility!
Say yes under the stars
Astro adventures are on the rise, according to Skyscanner’s 2025 travel trends ‒ and it’s easy to see the appeal. A desert night sky is one of the most awe-inspiring sights you’ll ever witness. The absence of light pollution reveals the perfect backdrop for your big moment.
Lie on a blanket together, gaze at the constellations sparkling above and ask the four words that will change both of your lives. You’ll remember it as the night the universe seemed to conspire in your favor.
Dance the night away
49% of American travelers say culture is the most important reason for choosing a destination. For couples who love to immerse themselves in new experiences, proposing during a festival brings the energy.
Whether you’re dancing at a Spanish festival, watching fireworks at Chinese New Year, or celebrating in the colors of Holi, you’ll be surrounded by joy. Pop the question in the midst of the crowd to make the moment feel even more alive.
Do any of these ideas capture your relationship? No matter where and how you choose to do it, as long as it holds meaning for both of you, you’ll be onto a winner.
