Peninsula St. Peter, or as Croatians love to call it - love peninsula, is situated at the end of the Makarska Riva, the town's main promenade. It offers stunning views of the sea and the nearby islands. It is a peaceful and quiet place to spend some time with your loved one - and a perfect place to propose. What makes it even more perfect, the peninsula is also famous for its lovelocks, where you can leave yours as well after the proposal.
The peninsula is also home to the Church of Saint Peter, a beautiful baroque church that dates back to the 17th century. The church is known for its impressive facade and its bell tower, which offers panoramic views of the town and the sea. So unlike peninsula, it is rather for someone who is more traditional. Note that the church is open to visitors during the summer months.
For a luxurious nearby stay with stunning views of the Adriatic or Biokovo mountain, check out the Aminess Khalani Hotel.
Also located in Makarska, it is one of the most beautiful “hidden” beaches in that area. It is definitely a place for couples who want to avoid crowds and are looking for a more intimate setting in nature. It is extremely picturesque and this is one of the reasons for its popularity among tourists. It is rich in pine forest and is a true jewel of the beaches of Makarska, so it is a perfect scenery to propose as well.
The Internet portal European Best Destination declared Nugal the third most beautiful beach in Europe in 2019.
Good thing to know - the beach can only be reached on foot via a forest road or by boat.
Another place for avoiding crowds is Vrnik island - a secluded and romantic location. The island's natural beauty, with its clear waters and beautiful beaches, provides a perfect backdrop for a special moment.
The fact that it's uninhabited makes it more isolated and intimate, and the boat trip to get to the island could add to the excitement and adventure. Keep in mind that the best time to visit Vrnik island is probably during the summer months, as the weather is typically more favorable.
Also, since the island is uninhabited, it has no accommodations, so you'll have to plan your romantic trip according to your needs. Korčula is relatively close to it, so you can always go there after the proposal and continue your romantic getaway in one of Aminess hotels.
The Skywalk Biokovo is another unique and memorable location for a proposal. It is a viewpoint platform located on the mountain range of Biokovo, situated at an altitude of 1,462 meters above sea level. The panoramic views from the viewpoint platform are truly breathtaking and provide a beautiful and romantic setting for a proposal.
Two things to keep in mind - during the summer it can be crowded, so the best time to visit would be before or after summer, or simply to reserve tickets in advance. Second - since it is located at a high altitude, it may not be suitable for those with a fear of heights or those with mobility issues, so it's important to consider your partner's comfort level before proposing there.
The central part of the Novigrad walls is the Belvedere lodge - a very intimate place for a proposal with a wonderful view of the Adriatic Sea. It was built in the 16th century, and it is the only lodge in Istria located next to the sea. It is assumed that it was built on the former defensive walls of the town, which is what Novigrad is known for.
Also, to the loggia, on its western side, there is a beautiful semi-circular passage that leads to the sea and it offers a wonderful view.
After the proposal, you can continue your celebration in Aminess Maestral Hotel and enjoy delicious food and local wines in the hotel restaurant, as well as relax in the wellness center.
Also located in Istria, Motovun is a charming medieval town known for its well-preserved medieval architecture and its charming narrow streets. It is situated on a hilltop and offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
Most popular proposal spot in Motovun is the Mirna River Valley viewpoint. It offers a panoramic view of the valley and the nearby towns, and it's a perfect spot for those who want a more secluded and natural setting.
Motovun also offers many romantic restaurants and wine bars that would make for a perfect proposal location. The town is known for its truffle and wine production, and there are many local restaurants that serve traditional Istrian cuisine and offer a romantic ambiance.
So whatever place you choose, make sure your partner will enjoy it!
