One of the most scenic ways to propose is on the soft white sands of the Barbados beaches. And your hotel is surrounded by the most breathtaking beaches imaginable, so finding a spot should be easy.
The hotel staff will be more than accommodating to make your dream proposal come true, whether it’s a picnic on the sands, a romantic dinner by candlelight, or a water sports adventure.
Your resort beach is five-star luxury, so no matter which Winged Boots hotel you pick, you’re sure of a stunning backdrop for your big question.
If in doubt, you could always travel further afield to the most stunning beaches that Barbados has to offer. The two stand-out beaches are:
Carlisle Bay
This majestic beach is surrounded by stunning palm trees, which is perfect for finding a beautiful secluded area. Before you get down on one knee, spend the day exploring the six shipwrecks during a snorkelling session, where you’ll also see the mesmerising marine life, rock lobsters, fish and turtles. For something unique and romantic, you could even book a horseback riding session on the beach.
Miami Beach
If you want a more adventurous experience beforehand, Miami Beach is full of exciting activities. For example, the south side has big waves for surfing and water sports, perfect for couples that love to get their adrenaline pumping. However, if you’re looking for a calmer side of this idyllic bay, the cove on the north side is perfect for peaceful swimming and finding a little piece of paradise for asking the big question.
