Planning the perfect proposal is a magical experience. And adding the breathtaking backdrop of a Caribbean destination can make it unforgettable.
From stunning beaches to charming hidden spots, St. Maarten and St. Thomas offer endless romantic locations to elevate your proposal.
As the expert in fine jewelry and the best the island has to offer, Grand Jewelers has been at the center of many memorable engagements. From finding the perfect engagement ring to discovering hidden gems, here’s how to plan a destination proposal that leaves a lasting impression.
Grand Jewelers has been serving the beautiful Virgin Islands of St. Thomas and St. Maarten for over three decades. During this time, we’ve compiled a list of coveted romantic beaches and hidden locations with a quaint Caribbean flair.
Both islands are known for their natural beauty, with pristine beaches and scenic vistas that set the perfect tone for romance. Here are a few of the top spots to consider:
Seeking something extraordinary? The unique location of Maho Beach near the airport makes for an adrenaline-filled proposal. As planes soar above, get down on one knee and capture that perfect, unexpected moment with the serene sound of the waves crashing nearby.
Sapphire Beach, just as bold as its name, is one of the most picturesque places on St. Thomas Island. This beach is known for its powdery soft white sand and crystal-clear blue waters.
The seclusion makes for a romantic private beach picnic at sunset, where the sky transforms into shades of pink and orange. The sparkle of your ring will shine beautifully.
Want some history mixed with romance? Fort Louis in Marigot overlooks the island’s coastline and offers panoramic views that will leave you breathless. It’s the ideal spot for a proposal at sunrise or sunset, where the island’s landscape provides the perfect backdrop.
A perennial favorite for couples, Magens Bay is a secluded paradise. Take a romantic walk along the shore or plan a boat ride to a nearby cove for an intimate proposal surrounded by the natural beauty of the Caribbean Sea.
Once you’ve decided on which location will be the perfect backdrop, you’ll want to have the best activity to build up your proposal. How you propose is just as important.
Depending on what activities suit you and your couple best, St. Maarten and St. Thomas offer a variety of moments to make your proposal special.
Take your partner on a sunset sailing tour along the coasts. As the sun dips below the horizon, and the sky fills with warm hues, pop the question on deck for a private, breathtaking moment.
Some resorts and beachside restaurants offer private dinners right on the sand. Plan a candlelit meal under the stars, where you can propose during dessert or under the glow of tiki torches as waves gently lap at your feet.
If you and your partner enjoy the outdoors, consider proposing on a hike to one of the island’s hidden viewpoints. The surprise of reaching a scenic peak with a stunning view of the ocean, followed by a heartfelt proposal, will be unforgettable.
Once your location and proposal activity are planned, it’s time to factor in the star of the show, after your partner, of course – the ring.
We pride ourselves on helping couples discover their ring style based on their personality and preferences. Whether you’re set on a statement ring or a minimalist design, the craftsmanship of Grand Jewelers engagement rings is unmatched.
The engagement ring selection process can be an overwhelming experience. Grand Jewelers can help you identify which ring shape is most attractive and which diamond (or gem) should be at the center of your ring’s story.
The solitaire ring is a timeless option, highlighting one central stone (usually a diamond). There are no additional side stones or accents, allowing the stone to take center stage.
The 14Kt White Gold Solitaire Diamond Ring is an elegant choice that never goes out of style. This ring highlights the beauty of the diamond cut, allowing it to catch the light at every angle. The person who usually goes for more minimalist jewelry would adore the elegant and modern touch of this ring.
If you’re considering a ring that offers more diamond placements, the semi mount diamond ring can be a meaningful choice for your proposal.
Many semi mount rings feature side stones, accent diamonds, or intricate detailing that enhances the beauty of the ring. Even before the center stone is added.
Grand Jewelers has a nice selection of engagement rings in St. Thomas and St. Maarten, including:
Just like your unique proposal ideas, you may want your partner’s engagement ring to be an exact expression of their dynamic personality. That may require venturing away from the classic designs and instead opting for a ring with gems and colorful stones.
Our ring collection extends beyond conventional. Take our 14KT Multi Color Tourmaline Ring and 14KT Princess Diana Set Ruby and Diamond Ring. Or the 14KT Sapphire Diamond Ring, all of which can be a unique symbolism of your journey together.
