The Experience: What to Expect at Vlychada Beach

Vlychada Beach in Santorini is often called a lunar landscape because of its dramatic rock formations and black sand. The landscape offers a stark beauty that makes for a truly memorable proposal setting. The setup, prepared by the team from SANTORINI LOVE TALES, is both elegant and simple: a heart-shaped arrangement of LED candles, red roses, rose petals, and a ‘MARRY ME’ sign measuring about 20cm.

This arrangement is designed to be the focal point of your moment, with the soft glow of candles creating a romantic ambiance perfect for the sunset hour. The entire setup takes about an hour to prepare, giving you plenty of time for a relaxed, intimate experience. The team recommends aiming for sunset to achieve optimal lighting; many reviews emphasize how the soft, golden glow enhances the atmosphere.

Music is optional but highly recommended. A speaker plays during the proposal, adding a personalized soundtrack to a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Some travelers also opt for an eye mask, which can add an element of surprise or help your partner focus solely on the moment when the mask is removed.

Capturing the Moment

One of the standout features of this package is the professional-quality photos and videos. An iPhone is used to take 20 photos and a video of the proposal, which are sent to you the same day. Several reviews highlight how quick and efficient this process is, and how the photos genuinely capture the emotion of the moment. Reviewers mention how the photos range from candid shots to more posed, and how special it is to have a video that documents both the setting and the expressions.

The Setup and Location

Meeting at Vlychada Beach is straightforward. You pass the only beach bar, walk around 5 minutes to the designated setup area, and then enjoy the view as the team prepares for your proposal. The team emphasizes arriving about 10 minutes early to settle in comfortably. The setup is in a public spot, so while the area is generally quiet, other visitors might be present, adding a lively, authentic vibe.

Additional Options

While the basic package is quite comprehensive, you can enhance your experience by adding a professional photoshoot or transportation (at extra cost). These extras aim to make your day even more memorable and hassle-free, especially if you’re visiting from elsewhere on the island or have limited time.
