5 Epic Proposal Ideas In Kauai

Once you’ve found your inspiration, let us know. Our on-site staff would be delighted to help you create the perfect proposal. Tell us your vision and we will help you make your dream come true.

Hike the Na Pali Coast

A sacred space to Hawaiians, this iconic shoreline with its sharp ridges and soaring jade cliffs is extraordinarily beautiful. Dramatic pali, or cliffs, are interspersed with flowing waterfalls, remote beaches, brilliant rainbows and bubbling streams, while the sea crashes against their shores. A day hike of this 17-mile stretch will leave you completely immersed in picture-perfect views of nature’s grandeur. Pick a spot – they’re all breathtaking – and pop the question.

Luxe Picnic on the Ocean Lawn

Picture it: you and your love reclining in the open air on a soft rug strewn with plush, designer pillows and fragrant flowers. A low table is adorned with a low-key luxe tablescape, complete with bouquets, leis, candles and gourmet treats. Champagne on ice waits to be opened, glasses wait to be clinked. All of it is set in one of Kauai’s most beautiful natural spaces: on a grand lawn overlooking the sea and a sandy romantic cove at sunset. This is the perfect place to envision spending the rest of your lives together.

Extravagant Dinner at Red Salt

Indulge your love with an oceanfront, fine dining experience. The scene is set with candlelight, sweeping ocean views lined by towering palm trees and a peaceful, sophisticated atmosphere. Savor the modern, award-winning cuisine at Red Salt – celebrating fresh, locally sourced Hawaiian seafood and produce. Enlist our expert waitstaff, who would be delighted to help you plan and flawlessly execute a perfect proposal.


Jurassic Falls via Helicopter

Fly above the major sights of Kauai – Olokele Canyon, Waimea Canyon, Na Pali Coast, Mt. and Waialeale Crater. Then set off to beautiful Manawaiopuna Falls, famed for its appearance in the blockbuster film Jurassic Park. Your pilot will set down near the base of the 400-foot falls, where a short walk down a jungle path along a rushing stream leads to the bottom of these iconic falls. A truly unmatchable backdrop (and photo op!) for your proposal.

Room Service in an Oceanfront Suite
Perhaps you prefer a more private environment for your proposal. Retreat to your spacious Oceanfront Suite, order an exceptional in-room feast and let your incredible moment unfold. Enjoy champagne in the luxurious marble soaking tub or toast on the balcony. Gaze out at the breathtaking views of the endless Pacific and savor the delicious flavors of contemporary Hawaiian cuisine. Let the luxe surroundings, dramatic views and perfect privacy set the romantic tone this momentous question.
