Looking for the best places to propose in Miami? Here are some of our favorite romantic spots in the Magic City.

Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden

Wondering where to propose in Miami? These Coral Gables gardens may be the perfect spot. You’ll find a wide variety of flora and fauna, and many scenic spots that are ideal for an incredible proposal. A few of our favorites include the Overlook, the Arboretum, the Sibley Victoria Pool, the Butterfly Garden, and more. After you pop the question, be sure to capture the moment by taking photos together with the gorgeous gardens as your backdrop.

South Beach

It’s not a huge surprise that South Beach is one of the best places to propose in Miami. Our recommendation? Stay at one of the luxurious hotels on South Beach like the 1 South Beach, The Betsy, or the W South Beach, and enjoy the private beach access that gets you away from the crowds. You can also visit the beach during off-peak hours (on a weekday or early in the morning) for a more intimate and private proposal experience, or just take a stroll around the neighborhood, admiring the famous Art Deco architecture.

Matheson Hammock Park

If South Beach is not your scene, you can still have an amazing beachfront proposal in a more private setting. We love the beach and atoll pool at Matheson Hammock, located in the Coral Gables area. This is the perfect quiet beach for lounging or, if you’re the adventurous types, you can rent kayaks or standup paddleboards and pop the question afterwards. Celebrate with a picnic on the beach or a delicious meal at the waterside Red Fish Grill (perhaps with family waiting to surprise you!).

The Ancient Spanish Monastery – St. Bernard de Clairvaux

Looking for a Miami proposal idea that combines history and architectural beauty? Check out the incredible Spanish architecture of this monastery, which was built in the year 1133 AD in Spain, and then dismantled, moved to Miami, and reassembled in the mid-20th century. You’ll admire the breathtaking stone work, and find lots of hidden spots for a private proposal. If you’re planning on bringing a professional photographer to capture the moment, note that there is a fee for professional photography, and you’ll have to check with the monastery in advance.

South Pointe Park

If you and your partner love the outdoors, South Pointe Park is just the place for biking or enjoying a brisk stroll on the pathway while checking out amazing panoramic views—and it's also one of the best places to propose in Miami. Located at the southernmost point of South Beach, this 22-acre park also has a fabulous grassy area where you can lounge and enjoy a picnic, or simply sit on one of the benches and watch the cruise ships go by.

Vizcaya Museum & Gardens

One of the most luxurious places to propose in Miami, Vizcaya is a stunning villa and museum that will absolutely take your breath away. There are so many romantic and scenic locations here, from the gardens to the waterside area that you’ll definitely want to scout it out in advance to pick the perfect spot to pop the question. Our favorite proposal spot? The Tea House, which is set right on the water.

Shark Valley

The Everglades one of the best places to propose in the Miami area for adventurous couples. There are so many options for unique activities that could end with you popping the question, from a ranger-led tour of the Shark Valley area to a sunrise bike ride, a tram tour, and much more. Located about an hour from downtown Miami, Shark Valley is full of wildlife (hello, gators!) and is definitely an off-the-beaten path proposal opportunity. Don’t forget to stop at Robert is Here for a celebratory smoothie on the way home!

Perez Art Museum

The steps outside of this incredibly beautiful art museum overlook the water and the city skyline, and make a unique and lovely place to propose in Miami. You might also choose to pop the question in front of a favorite painting inside the museum or in the outdoor sculpture garden. Whatever you decide, the area outside the museum is ideal for a post-proposal photo shoot.

SoundScape Park

Want your proposal to combine art, culture, and the outdoors? This Miami Beach park offers a variety of super-romantic outdoor events, from movie screenings to symphony concert. Imagine enjoying a picnic while watching your favorite film on the 7,000 square foot projection wall and then popping the question during the credits. What could be a dreamier Miami proposal idea?

Il Gabbiano

If you're considering where to propose in Miami, restaurants are always a safe bet (you certainly don’t want to pop the question on an empty stomach) and this Italian restaurant, located on Biscayne Boulevard has incredible water views (sit on the outdoor balcony, if possible) and cuisine that will make you feel like you’ve been transported to Rome. Yes, it’s on the pricier side, but for a totally luxe proposal, it’s worth it!
