In this paper, we discuss the existence of best proximity points of new generalized proximal contractions of metric spaces. Moreover, we obtain a completeness characterization of underlying metric space via the best proximity points. Some new best proximity point theorems have been derived as consequences of main results in (partially ordered) metric spaces.
