I want: To propose on an exotic island
You need: The Majlis, Lamu Archipelago, Kenya
Because: With pure-white sands and dhow sails picked out against a blue Indian Ocean horizon, it would be tough to find a more utopian spot on the East African coast. On exclusive Manda Island (accessible only by boat from Lamu town), Majlis has 25 airy suites dressed in flowing white cottons, and a private stretch of sand made for dropping down on one knee.
And how: Doubles from £180, room only (00 254 2088 2028. www.themajlisresorts.com)
