The best places to get engaged in Abu Dhabi

Thinking of popping the question and pulling out a glistening diamond rock of a ring? Then we think Fossil Rock will be an incredible place for you to propose. 

If you like to hike and are the type of people that chase views, this stunning spot in Sharjah will have you mesmerised. To get that perfect proposal moment, we suggest you arrive a couple of hours before sunset to give yourself plenty of time to reach the summit and take in the glorious desert as you go.

As the sun goes down, maybe they’ll think you’re tying your walking boot laces after reaching them top, when really, you’re on one knee ready to ask that major question! And the bonus? One of the most stunning views in Abu Dhabi as your proposal backdrop.

If you’re looking for Abu Dhabi luxury holidays and somewhere to get engaged with a difference - then what better way to travel to the desert and escape to the hidden oasis that is Al Wathba A Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa.

It’s time to top up your tranquility in the spa, check out the incredible dining destinations it has to offer, and unwind in the most decadent of guest rooms.

Bringing a larger party along with you to celebrate? You can choose between multiple guest rooms, suites, and even private villas that hold luxury and comfort at their core.

If you’re looking to live the life of pure richness on your getaway, this complex is the perfect place for you – dine in style, soak in the healing salt sauna, snow caves, and even take part in yoga at the open-air pavilion. 

This is a destination that will truly make your Abu Dhabi engagement special and something you’ll remember for a lifetime. Whether you’re looking for relaxation, a bougie party, or a mix of both - there is something for every couple with an Abu Dhabi engagement itinerary. 

It’s no secret that Abu Dhabi has beautiful buildings and landscapes at every turn. What if you could see them all at once by taking to the Arabian sky and seeing everything it has to offer?

With that extra special question looming, do something with a difference by soaring up into the skies in a hot air balloon over the shelving desert sands.

To take your proposal, quite literally, to the next level, companies such as Balloon Adventures Dubai can expertly help you make this a memory that will stay with you both forever.

With the breath-taking views of the wilderness stretching out below, the sun setting in the distance – we can’t think of a more romantic way to ask your loved one to become your husband or wife.

Sometimes keeping it simple is the best. If you’re not one for huge, movie-like moments and you’re a couple that keep things lower key, then why not take a very special beach stroll on Saadiyat Island?

Picture this: under the moonlight on a private beach overlooking the shimmering Arabian Gulf, you could ask that all important question.

Afterwards, escape to pure romance and luxury at Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island that has everything to make your proposal trip even more memorable from gorgeous spas, deluxe rooms, suites, or villas for you to check yourself into.

Feel like a star as you make your way to Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Yamm in its secluded location, only accessible by water taxi or seaplane. If you’re getting ready to pop the question – then this is something straight out of a movie scene, feeling completely unique but incredibly luxurious at the same time. 

This destination feels expensive in everything it does and boasts undeniable sophistication in every way possible, from the fabulous swimming pools to the indulgent spa and the fantastic dining. You’ll feel you really have journeyed to paradise to ask your fiancé-to-be that very special question.

As one of three brilliant resorts that make up this private island and protected wildlife sanctuary, Sir Bani Yas Island Al Yamm is nothing short of perfection. With its secluded location for the height of privacy, guests can choose between the all-villa beach accommodation that offer private pools and up to two-bedrooms.

Take in mesmerising views, relax into the plush Middle Eastern fabrics in each villa and feel completely at home in this stunning resort.
