I contacted Ankur and asked for his help to make the dream proposal my girlfriend would love, and he more than delivered! From the first interaction he made me feel comfortable and that he was in control and nothing to stress over, I told Ankur the vision I had in my head and he made it all happen so effortlessly I did not have to worry! Honestly, if you are planning to propose in Dubai you have to use Ankur & Dubai Proposal if you want it perfect and stress free like I had! Thank you so much once again!”

Plan your proposalThey range from AED 6,499 to AED 9,999 including VAT. AED 6,499 covers a full setup at your own villa or resort pool, AED 7,499 a private pool villa at Nikki Beach Resort, AED 9,499 a private pool villa at Bab Al Shams Desert Resort, and AED 9,999 a private poolside cabana at One&Only The Palm. All include full styling with florals and candles, a bespoke handbag bouquet, and a private photographer and videographer with the complete media package.
Yes, that is the AED 6,499 package. We build the setup at your villa or resort pool while you are out, so your partner walks back into it. The one requirement is permission: if it is a hotel or a managed resort we need the property's approval in advance, which we obtain for you. For a private villa there is nothing to arrange beyond a key and a two-hour window.
Yes, and this is the setting where they genuinely work. On a beach or a rooftop the wind decides how long candles last; on an enclosed pool they stay lit and stay where they are placed, which is why poolside setups photograph so consistently. We use LED pillar candles around the deck and floating candles on the water.
At your own villa, entirely. At One&Only The Palm the cabana is held privately for your booking within the resort, screened and set apart, though the resort itself is operating around you. If total isolation is the priority, the villa option or a desert setting will give you more of it than any resort will.
Better than most. An evening poolside setup after sunset is comfortable in July when a beach or a desert dune is not, and both packages can run year-round. It is one of the few settings we recommend without hesitation between June and September, alongside the yacht charters and indoor suites.
After dark. A pool setup is a lighting composition, candles, the pool light, and whatever we place around the deck, and it needs darkness to read properly. A sunset start with the reveal at dusk gives you both the light and the candles, which is what we usually recommend.
Yes, on both. A served dinner can be added to either package, and at your own villa we can arrange a private chef. Tell us dietary requirements at the enquiry stage so it goes into the quote rather than being added later.
Around two hours on site before your arrival, and we need access to the pool area for that window. For the villa package this is the only real logistical constraint, we plan it around a dinner reservation or an outing so your partner is genuinely away while the build happens.
