Typical Scenario: A Marriage Proposal Planned by the Groom's Sister (And Kept Secret From Everyone)
Xiao Ming had been dating Xiao Hong for 5 years, and he knew she was the one. But he was terrible at keeping secrets — every time he tried to plan a surprise, he accidentally let it slip. So when he decided to propose, he enlisted the help of his sister, Xiao Mei, who was a professional event planner and an expert at keeping secrets.
Xiao Mei planned everything: she booked Cuixi Villa for a weekend, telling Xiao Hong that it was a "family getaway" with Xiao Ming's parents and sister. She arranged for a photographer to hide at the villa, pretending to be a "friend of the family" who was "just taking some casual photos." She coordinated with the villa owner to set up the proposal scene in the courtyard — fairy lights, candles, and a heart-shaped arrangement of rose petals. She even helped Xiao Ming pick out the ring (a simple solitaire, just how Xiao Hong liked it).
The proposal was on Saturday evening. After dinner, Xiao Mei suggested they all go to the courtyard for "some fresh air." When they walked out, the fairy lights turned on, the candles were lit, and Xiao Ming's favorite song (their song — "The Most Romantic Thing" by Zhao Yonghua) started playing. Xiao Ming got down on one knee, pulled out the ring, and asked Xiao Hong to marry him. Xiao Hong was completely surprised — she had no idea it was coming. She said yes through happy tears, and the hidden photographer captured every moment.
After the proposal, they celebrated with champagne and cake in the courtyard, and then moved to the KTV room to sing their favorite songs. Xiao Hong later said: "I had no idea at all. Xiao Ming is terrible at keeping secrets, but Xiao Mei planned everything perfectly and kept it all hidden. The courtyard with the fairy lights and candles was beautiful — it was like a scene from a movie. This was the most perfect proposal I could have ever imagined."
(Typical scenario, not a single real case)
Why a Private-Hot-Spring Proposal Needs the Whole Villa
The dignity of a proposal lies in "this moment belongs only to you two". Ordinary venues are shared by multiple groups with passers-by watching, which dilutes the privacy. Whole-villa rental seals "the courtyard + the villa + the facilities" entirely for one group during the stay.
Privacy With No Outsiders — the Moment Belongs to Two
Cuixi Villa is whole-villa rental only, no room-sharing; on the proposal day no strange guests walk through, no neighbor steals your spot. You can drop to one knee anywhere — by the hot spring, in the courtyard or in front of the projection — with only the two of you present.
A real scene: this spring, Mr. Chen from Xiamen proposed in the private hot spring area. In the evening he laid out the robes and roses in advance, the butler lit the courtyard string lights, and his girlfriend turned around from the pool to find him kneeling at its edge. He later wrote: "I feared a farmhouse courtyard would be rough; when I arrived I found the hot spring area more refined than I imagined, and the key was the whole courtyard was just us two — no audience."
Decorate the Whole Courtyard Freely
The 1,200㎡ private courtyard is an enclosed private courtyard, not a public lawn rented by the hour. That means you can set it up by theme: balloons, string lights, a projection screen, a dessert table — however you like, with no worry it'll be taken down for the next booking.

How to Set Up the Proposal (Private Hot Spring Area / Courtyard Stars / Projection)
A proposal isn't just one script. The three scenes below can be used alone or combined.
Private Hot Spring Area Proposal
The mountain-spring private heated mountain-spring pool is exclusive to the detached villa; you can soak while watching the Mayangxi forest and stars. It suits a natural "two soak, suddenly a knee-drop" script with the highest privacy, and no need to change clothes for a public pool.
Courtyard Stars and Projection
The 1,200㎡ courtyard can host a projection screen with your photos and videos; string lights instantly turn it into a starlit proposal site. The courtyard is flat and spacious — invited witnesses can stand comfortably without it feeling cramped.
Butler Assistance and Bookable Services
Simple decoration materials and the flow can be confirmed with the butler in advance: whether the courtyard can host a projection, whether string lights can be helped with, whether a dessert can be pre-ordered. Send your ideas to the butler and run the scene on arrival, saving you the move-in hassle.
Proposal After-Party Stays Inside the Villa
Proposal accepted — time to celebrate. Cuixi Villa wraps the after-party into the whole villa too:
- Standalone KTV: song library updated monthly, sing late into the night without disturbing outsiders — perfect for celebration.
- 4K Cinema: a ~300-inch screen gives the two who want quiet film time a lounge area.
- Mountain-View Pool: 5-stage-filtered well water; the private hot spring and pool edge at night both become celebration backdrops.
The same party facilities used for corporate team building also suit team-building villas near Xiamen; to extend into a wedding, see the same whole-villa approach at Changtai lawn wedding venues.
