Make Your Christmas Proposal Unforgettable

There is something truly magical about proposing at Christmas. Between the sparkling lights, winter landscapes, and sense of togetherness, it is the perfect time to begin your forever story. To help inspire you, we asked our wonderful Chupi customers to share their favourite places in Ireland to get engaged — and they did not disappoint.

Whether you are planning a secret trip, a festive city escape, or a romantic countryside moment, here are our favourite Christmas proposal ideas across Ireland.

1. Glendalough, Co. Wicklow

Nestled in the heart of the Wicklow Mountains, Glendalough has a special place in Chupi’s heart, being only a short drive from where she grew up. Surrounded by misty lakes and ancient monastic ruins, it is a place that feels timeless. Pop the question by the Upper Lake, then wander into nearby The Wicklow Heather for a hearty meal and a glass of bubbly or a pint by the fire.

2. Conor Pass Waterfall, Co. Kerry

If you are dreaming of a proposal surrounded by breathtaking scenery, Conor Pass is one of the most picturesque places in Ireland. Make the short hike from the car park to the hidden waterfall and take in sweeping views of Kerry. After they say yes, head down to Brandon for some dolphin watching, a celebratory glass of bubbles, and one of the finest pints on the Dingle Peninsula at Murphy’s Pub in Brandon (a favourite around the office here).

3. Iveagh Gardens, Dublin

For city lovers, the Iveagh Gardens offer a secluded oasis just minutes from our Chupi store on Clarendon Street. Known for its rose garden and tranquil fountains, it is a cherished spot among our Dublin customers. Once you have popped the question, wander across St. Stephen’s Green for a glass of champagne at The Shelbourne, one of Dublin’s most romantic spots for a celebration.

4. Salthill Promenade, Galway

For a proposal with sea views and salty air, nothing beats Salthill Promenade in Galway. Take a walk hand in hand along the coast, breathe in the Atlantic air, and pop the question as the sun sets over Galway Bay. When it is time to celebrate, head into the city for dinner and wine at Ard Bia, known for its cosy atmosphere and beautiful local ingredients.

5. Cobh Harbour, Co. Cork

Few places in Ireland are as picture-perfect as Cobh, with its colourful harbour houses and views across the sea. Propose by the water with St. Colman’s Cathedral in the background, or take a quiet moment at the bandstand on the promenade. Afterwards, toast your new engagement at Azure Bistro, a charming spot right on the waterfront, perfect for a festive celebration.

6. Slieve League Cliffs, Co. Donegal

For those seeking wild, dramatic beauty, Slieve League Cliffs offer one of the most awe-inspiring backdrops in Ireland. The view of the Atlantic stretching endlessly below is truly breathtaking — the perfect setting for a once-in-a-lifetime question. Afterward, warm up with dinner and champagne at Harvey’s Point on Lough Eske, one of Donegal’s most romantic hotels.
