OFF THE BEATEN PATH: 5 SECLUDED PLACES IN SINGAPORE TO PROPOSE AT
June 28, 2021
A proposal is one of the events that a couple looks forward to if they’ve been in a relationship for a good number of years. After all, if your love for one another persevered through various challenges and hardships, it’s only natural that the two of you take the next step and plan the rest of your lives together.
If you have plans of proposing to your partner in Singapore, there are two things that you need to do: shop for engagement rings and pick the best place to do it. Additionally in a country as beautiful as Singapore, you’ll soon find that you have an abundance of options when it comes to beautiful proposal spots. However, most of these proposal spots are too public and in view of everyone else and while there’s nothing wrong with popping the question in these places, there are a few other locations that are far more secluded and intimate compared to others.
In this article, Vella Diamonds, the pro jewellers to turn to when shopping for the right engagement rings, shows you the five secluded places in Singapore to propose at.
Hort Park
– If you want to propose in an extremely intimate and private setting, then locals recommend that you consider proposing to your partner at Hort Park. According to locals, Hort Park is an incredibly popular proposal spot as it does create the intimate and secluded ambience that many people look for by requiring would-be proposers to book the venue and apply for a permit via their website in advance. By doing so, you can even use the venue for a romantic post-proposal outdoor dinner with your partner as well, making the day even more memorable for the both of you.
Jurong Lake Gardens
– On the other hand, if you want to propose in a place where nature surrounds you and your most beloved person, you can also consider getting down on one knee with your engagement rings in the Jurong Lake Gardens, the country’s largest park and a 90-hectare national garden located in the Jurong heartlands. With such a wide area to cover, you won’t be left wanting for intimacy and privacy when you finally decide that today is the day to pop the question. If you opt to do your proposal here, consider doing it at the Grasslands area during the evening. That way, the huge Lalang field, the lone tree, and the setting sun can provide the perfect backdrop for your proposal.
The Summerhouse Garden Domes
– Finding the right location for a proposal is a tricky thing for any person to do. After all, since the majority of the best proposal spots are public spaces, chances are you’ll have to do it in public and under the scrutinizing gaze of everyone around you. Since proposing is such an intimate event for you and your partner, it’s understandable if you don’t want to make a public spectacle of your proposal. Thankfully, there’s a solution to that and that’s by booking a private dome at The Summerhouse’s gardens. By doing so, you’ll be treated to your own geodesic igloo that’s located within a lush garden that’s decorated with twinkling lights, creating a private and romantic ambience for you to pull off your proposal plans.
Henderson Waves Bridge
– The Henderson Waves Bridge is the tallest bridge in Singapore thanks to its height of 118 meters and while a bridge may not seem like the most romantic place to propose to your lover in, you shouldn’t be fooled. The bridge has a length of 274 meters, meaning it can actually provide you with plenty of privacy to propose to your beloved. And since it overlooks the city, you’re more than free to pull off your proposal in the evening after a romantic afternoon walk with your partner. That way, you can use the city as well as the setting sun for the backdrop of your proposal. And that’s not all; after your romantic proposal, you can also have your first dinner as a soon-to-be wedded couple at one of the numerous restaurants located near the bridge.
Singapore Botanic Garden
– Also known as the country’s first UNESCO heritage site, the Singapore Botanic Garden is a tranquil space that would be perfect for a proposal event. This is because the area is located fairly away from the hustle and bustle of the city itself, allowing you to have a few moments of peace and serenity as you plan to get down on one knee. While it’s likely that there will be a few visitors to the garden on the day you want to propose, it does have a few pockets of alluring and secluded spaces that are perfect for an intimate and private proposal such as the Swan Lake, Learning Forest, Symphony Lake, or even the Ethnobotany Garden if you want extra privacy.
