Top 6 Memorable Places to Propose in Malaysia

Proposals can be hard to plan for, and if you want to make your proposal one for the books, a surefire way is through a unique event space KL. However, with travel restrictions still in place, we can expect couples to opt for local proposals in Malaysia, instead of destination proposals overseas.

With diversity in landscapes, culture, and activities in Malaysia, there are a plethora of places to hold your proposal. To ease your worries, we’ve narrowed down our top 6 memorable places to say “I Do” in Malaysia.

1. In a limestone cave

Looking to whisk away your loved one for an unforgettable romantic escape? Look no further than Jeff’s Cellar at The Banjaran Hotsprings. Set in a limestone cave complete with enchanting lights and breathtaking water features, this retreat includes a deeply atmospheric setting to get down on one knee and makes an idyllic backdrop for a once in a lifetime proposal.

If the food’s at the top of your head, not to worry, you can also indulge in fine Indonesian cuisine at Jeff’s Cellar – you’ll find talented chefs grilling up the freshest premium seafood and meats, along with local fruits and vegetables.

Pro tip: Jeff’s Cellar opens only at dinnertime, and with a maximum capacity of 50, you’ll need to make a booking in advance.

2. Surrounded by history and heritage

Housed in George Town’s most iconic mansion, the Cheong Fatt Tze’s The Blue Mansion offers you an opportunity to create your very own historical moment at a historic place. Standing strong since the 1880s, the bravura 38-room, UNESCO award-winning boutique hotel was nominated as ‘One of the Top 10 Greatest Mansions in the World’ by Lonely Planet.

If you’re a fan of history and geomancy, The Blue Mansion combines Eastern and Western designs and is a rare surviving example of the extensive architectural style favoured by wealthy Chinese of the Straits back then. A simple, in-the-moment proposal while touring the mansion is a romantic and memorable wat to start the next phase of your lives together.

Fun fact: The Blue Mansion stood in as a mahjong parlour in the ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ movie. Watch out for the high-tension scene staring Rachel Chu (played by Constance Wu) and Eleanor Young (played by our very own Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh).

3. On a yacht

There are plenty of traditional ways to propose, but what better way to etch the moment in your memories than through a yacht charter? Your dream of having an exclusive and elegant yacht engagement can be a reality with Malaysia Luxury Yacht Charter.

What better way to pop the big question than by taking a sunset cruise? As you ride off into the sunset, complete your romantic boat ride with champagne, fireworks, and dinner to swoon your partner. Getting engaged is a once in a lifetime experience and there is no feeling quite like asking someone to spend the rest of their life with you.

4. A Rooftop Proposal Above the City Lights

 

Dreaming of a proposal with a breathtaking KL city skyline as your witness? The Glass Box at The MET, Mont Kiara is your answer. Suspended in the sky with floor-to-ceiling windows, this rooftop ballroom transforms with the time of day — glowing with natural light at sunset and shimmering under the city’s twinkling night lights.

Imagine dropping to one knee as the golden hour washes the space in warmth, or under the stars with the Kuala Lumpur skyline sparkling around you. The Glass Box offers the perfect mix of romance and grandeur, making it an unforgettable backdrop for a once-in-a-lifetime moment.

Pro tip: The venue is highly sought after for weddings and events, so book early. Colony’s team can also customise the setup — from flower arrangements to a private dinner setting — so your proposal feels as unique as your love story.

5. Underwater

Calling all scuba diving enthusiasts! What cooler way to pop the big question than under the sea? Bring your very own Atlantis to life while being surrounded by schools of fish and colourful corals!

While you’re underwater, make sure to prepare a waterproof sign asking her to marry you. Prepare your most romantic “speech” and pop the question! You may need a team to help you create the perfect scenario for an underwater wedding proposal, though. Once you’ve popped the question, return to your boat and have your guide prepare the champagne to toast to your lifetime of love and bliss!

Pro tip: Scuba diving sites in Malaysia that can be the location for your marriage proposal include Redang, Lang Tengah, and Perhentian Islands (Terengganu), Sipadan, Sapi, Mabul, Layang-Layang, and Mataking Islands (Sabah), as well as Satang Besar, Satang Kecil and Sempadi Islands and Miri waters (Sarawak).

6. On top of Malaysia

Take your romance to new heights (literally!) – there’s no finer backdrop to propose to your wife-to-be than the top of the Mount Kinabalu in Sabah. Standing at a majestic 4,095 meters above sea level, Mount Kinabalu is the highest mountain in Malaysia is a perfect place for adventurous couples to feel on top of the world as they declare their love for one another.

While you may have to wake up at 3 am to climb to the top to watch the sunrise, the view is definitely worth it. Now, all you need to do is pop the question with a stunning engagement ring.

Pro tip: Mount Kinabalu is a popular destination – visitors who wish to climb Mount Kinabalu are advised to make reservations 6 months in advance to avoid disappointment. The number of climbers is limited to 135 pax daily.
