Although
ABC’s The Bachelor might not have ended with Juan Pablo on bended knee, these top ten proposal locations ensure a definite “yes”…
- The Pitons - The two volcanic peaks known as the Pitons, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are among the most striking natural sights in the Caribbean. Towering almost 3,000 feet out of the ocean, they can be seen from many points on Saint Lucia. Whether adventurous couples choose to hike the Pitons or merely gaze at their magnificence together, the iconic Pitons create the perfect backdrop for a memorable proposal. Choice views can be seen at Jalousie and Anse Chastanet beaches.
- Tet Paul Trail Tour - Located in the South of Saint Lucia, the Tet Pual Nature Trail is nestled on six acres of lush land and boasts spectacular views of Jalousie Bay, the Pitons, and even Martinique and St. Vincent islands on clear days. The 30-45 minute walk, known as the “Stairway to Heaven,” leads to a look-out point with breathtaking views that are more than proposal worthy. For more information, visit http://soufrierefoundation.org/tet-paul-nature-trail.
- Anse Mamin - Remote and accessible only by walking or water taxi from Anse Chastanet Resort, this peaceful beach creates an ideal atmosphere to ask that special question. Couples can spend the day soaking up the sun, swimming, snorkeling, or taking an intimate walk down the secluded beach at sunset.
- Saint Lucia Helicopters - With all the remarkable views and luscious scenery that Saint Lucia has to offer, there is no better way to see the island than from the sky.
