Naples is a lush city located along the Gulf of Mexico known for its extravagant high-end shopping locations, plush golf courses, and proximity to pristine beaches with fabulous tropical views.  That is why Naples, Florida is the fabulous proposal location.  Here are some fun and romantic proposal ideas for the perfect proposal.  Enjoy our Naples Proposal Ideas below.

A Romantic, Tropical Garden

If you love the peace and beauty of plants, can’t get enough of vividly colored, highly perfumed flowers, and towering palm trees, then you might want to consider proposing at Naples Botanical Garden.  This stunning location attracts 220 thousand visitors each year, and offers themed gardens that represent the culture, flora and fauna of the tropics. They even have a water garden!  Naples Botanical Garden does allow private booking for special events, including proposals and weddings.  Hire The Heart Bandits to set up a customized proposal set up for you to find while you are out exploring the gardens.

Sunset Dinner Cruise

Naples is situated right next to the ocean.  It would be a shame to not incorporate the natural beauty of the ocean in your proposal.  For a small, intimate proposal, consider traveling aboard a chartered Catamaran from local favorite, Cool Beans.  If you would like something larger, you can easily book a boat or yacht that will allow you to have the marriage proposal out on the water.  Just be careful that you don’t drop the ring!   Hire The Heart Bandits to create a personalized proposal idea that can be executed on a boat to really give it that special and memorable quality.

The Beach

There are a few beaches to choose from and any of them would make a beautiful place to propose.  Our insiders tell us that the southern-most beach access points (32nd or 33rd Avenue) can be pretty empty so that may be a good place to consider.  Hire The Heart Bandits to set up a romantic proposal ambiance right on the beach.  Take your partner for a stroll at sunset and find our setup.  It will be the perfect opportunity to propose.

On A Private Island

What could be more romantic than proposing on a private island?  For the adventure lover,  you can rent kayaks and kayak out to a private island.  Just make sure you do your research on the tide so you don’t get deserted on the island.  Because that will turn pretty unromantic very fast!  Since can’t bring much in your kayak, you could bring a photo book you made or a poem you wrote as a way to personalize your proposal.

The Zoo

The Naples Zoo could be the perfect proposal idea if your partner truly loves animals.  If you want to do something low-key, you can just propose near her favorite animals or somewhere on the grounds.  But they also rent out private space if you want to create a more elaborate event.  We can bring in beautiful and romantic props to create a unique proposal.

Naples Pier

A proposal on a pier can be so romantic.  You will have the water as your backdrop which is always a romantic setting.  Try to go at sunrise to avoid crowds.  Sunset will be very crowded so if you are looking for a sunset proposal you probably want to look elsewhere.

Gumbo Limbo

Normally we don’t put restaurants on the list of places to propose.  The old ways of just proposing over dinner has seemed to fade into the background in favor of more elaborate and over the top proposals.  But with a view like this, we have to recommend this locaiton as an idea for our Naples Proposal Ideas.  Get a seat on the patio and propose while you look out on to the water.  If proposing at a restaurant isn’t your thing, this is at a minimum a MUST-DO for an after proposal celebration.

Gazebo on 2nd Street

For a lower cost alternative, consider this publicly available Gazebo, only a block away from the beach, with a lake view.  Covered with vegetation and Banyan trees, it is tropical, beautiful, and quaint.  Consider hiring The Heart Bandits to plan some really beautiful and personalized decor inside.  

Speaking of which, if you want to craft your own perfect proposal from the ground up, you need only hire the professional wedding proposal planners at The Heart Bandits.  Whether you are looking for Naples Proposal Ideas or you are proposing somewhere else in this world, we will work with you to create the picture-perfect proposal of your dreams.

If you want to propose in a tropical climate, it’s likely you won’t be able to hide a traditional, clunky, ring box.  Consider using a ring box that won’t stick out – one that will fit easily in your pocket. Check out the compact design of the Ring Stash slim ring box  and keep your proposal a secret until just the right moment.
