Funzi Keys in South Coast, Kenya
A maze of water channels winds between a patchwork of pretty mangroves and forested islands, at the northern edge of Kenya’s southernmost marine park. One of the islands has been turned into an incredibly tranquil and laid-back hideaway, with palm trees and tastefully decorated, elegantly designed makuti-roofed bungalows arranged along a private beach. Whether you’re taking a Jacuzzi bath in your enormous open-plan suite, enjoying a romantic breakfast for two on the sand island that comes and disappears with the tides, or taking a leisurely sunset sail between the islands, everything about this place is meant to make you feel privileged and indulged. Come here to indulge in incredibly fresh seafood and learn innovative approaches to doing very little at all.
Chole Mjini Lodge
Tiny Chole Island is the perfect place for anyone with a castaway fantasy (and those seeking the best diving in Mafia waters). It lacks roads, power, and water mains, and the only way to get to this secluded eco-lodge on the island is by boat. The lodging options are somewhat basic, but if you envision true luxury as being in a large, stilted treehouse that is close to the water’s edge enough to be lulled by the sound of the tide flowing back through mangrove roots, open to the sea breeze but private enough to enjoy the view naked, then this is the place for you.
The Delta Dunes in Tana River Delta, Kenya
Delta Dunes Scattered across the tops of high dunes and offering breathtaking views over river, ocean, and more dunes, this is a Robinson Crusoe-style fantasy consisting of a unique combination of beach and bush. The location allows you to spend the day getting your heart rate up and then, with G&T in hand, watching wildlife at sunset while idly cruising through the water channels of the delta. The main draw is being sequestered among the naturally, organically designed spaces and having access to an endless, wild beach.

Kiwayu Safari Village in Lamu, Kenya
This ultimate toes-in-the-sand retreat is spread across the beach, just steps from the gently breaking surf. The enormous, gorgeous, open-plan bungalows here are the epitome of beachcomber chic. There is very little concrete visible, and almost everything is constructed of natural materials. While the sea’s blue hue is perfectly contrasted outside by shining white sands, the interiors are given a simple elegance through the use of vibrant Swahili colours. Along with being in awe of the sense of seclusion and isolation—you are staying at the most northern enclave on the Kenyan coast, where your only neighbours are a small village—there is also an endless array of water-based activities to keep you occupied, and the abundance of fresh seafood available for meals will leave you in a state of rapture. You can even choose the ultimate in seclusion at the ultra-exclusive Baobabs of Kitangani, where a solitary pair can indulge their castaway fantasies while being tended on hand and foot in a dreamlike setting, if sharing paradise with a few other guests seems harsh.
Mnemba Island Lodge in Mnemba Island, Tanzania
Mnemba Island is arguably the most romantic getaway in Africa, this stylish little resort is tucked away inside its picture-perfect island. The island is small (a leisurely stroll around it takes about ten minutes), with a conservation area encircling it and a coastal forest that protrudes from the powder-soft beaches. For the best snorkelling experience, dive further into the water; diving farther out is fantastic.
A private villa in Lamu along the Kenyan coast
This is a private residence located in Lamu along the Kenyan Coast. The medina-style stone mansions of Lamu have been transformed into trendy, modern vacation rentals, producing some of the most opulent and romantic accommodations in the archipelago. While the houses are mostly ideal for families, anyone who values privacy and wants to feel like they are a part of this old settlement’s everyday life may also find decadently enormous sanctuaries in them. These days, you can rent dozens of elegant and beautiful houses on Lamu Island or in Manda, the island’s neighbour to the north. While there is a collection of freshly constructed homes (the nicest of which are Leslie Duckworth’s breathtakingly inventive designs at Kizingoni Beach), the majority of the buildings in Lamu town and Shela village are restored originals decorated in an adorning style reminiscent of traditional Swahili architecture.
