Planning a proposal is always a mix of excitement and anxiety, and my story was no exception. It started well, I found the perfect spot online: Cova Mirador Es Vedra, a stunning cave in Ibiza that seemed like a wonderful place to propose.

However, things didn’t go quite as planned…

Isn’t this place a perfect spot for a proposal?

Long story short, it was my first time in Ibiza, and I didn’t get any ‘alone time’ to do scouting on my own. I had a general idea of where to go, but that was it. After parking and checking the GPS coordinates, everything was pure improvisation. We reached the first viewpoint and took in the stunning scenery, but I just couldn’t find the cave…

Looks like the right place… but where is the cave ?

I noticed a tower nearby, so we decided to hike towards it. However, the more we walked, the less confident I became about finding the cave, as the islands didn’t align like they did in the picture.

Once we reached the tower, we were greeted with a breathtaking panoramic view. Seizing the moment, I decided to propose there!

She said Yes! After a long moment of emotion, I told her about the cave and we finally spotted it:

It was actually right below our feet at the first viewpoint! In the end, the cave wasn’t as romantic as I had hoped, with some trash littering the area. However, that didn’t ruin our mood. We celebrated at a really nice restaurant nearby called Hostal La Torre, enjoying a lovely meal and the beginning of our new journey together.

When it comes to proposing, nothing is going to go exactly as planned. The key is to stay calm and embrace the moment, because the most important thing is being together and making memories!
