The World Travel Awards (WTA) put together a top-ten list of romantic destinations for ladies to pop the question this leap year.

Women are encouraged to take advantage of this rare calendar calamity and use the opportunity to turn the tables and get down on bended knee.

With “destinations that range from the fail-safe classics to some off-beat surprises” WTA listed the Great Barrier Reef, Australia as one of the top spots to propose to your partner.

“Proposing to your loved one is always going to be a nerve-wracking moment, especially with the added pressure of being a lady. But choosing a fitting location can go a long way in swaying the outcome favourably,” executive vice-president of WTA, Manon Han said.

Lewa Downs in Kenya, the Taj Mahal in India, Antarctica and the Sahara Desert in Morocco were a few of the most popular proposal places.

“If he’s an adrenaline junky, you could always try popping the question underwater at the Great Barrier Reef,” added Ms Han.

Official list:
1. Taj Mahal, India
2. Lewa Downs, Kenya
3. Antarctica
4. Rialto Bridge, Venice
5. Iguazu Falls, Argentina
6. Roseberry Topping, Yorkshire
7. Sahara Desert, Morocco
