Luxury Romantic Getaways in Australia
Celebrate this new chapter of your lives in style on an Australian honeymoon.
A honeymoon in Australia is all about breath-taking wildlife, intimate escapes and having the freedom to explore some of the world’s most striking landscapes together. From the rust-red desert to rainforest-fringed beaches and cool-climate wine country, every stop offers something equally different, and equally unforgettable.
Luxury Honeymoon Destinations in Australia
Spend time wandering the streets of Australia vibrant cities, where you can combine iconic sights with laid-back romance. In Sydney, take a private cruise on the harbour with champagne and skyline views, dine overlooking the Opera House, or simply unwind on Bondi Beach.
Or stroll down to Melbourne’s bohemian suburb, Fitzroy, where you are greeted by modern wine bars, vintage shops and live music gigs, to add an eclectic touch to your first days as a married couple.
Australian Romantic Adventures
The Great Barrier Reef is the ultimate backdrop for time together: snorkel over coral gardens, explore quiet island coves, or take to the water on a sailing trip for two. There are plenty of peaceful spots to unwind and soak it all in, from adults-only lodges to palm-lined beaches, you can share some time at peace, with nothing but the sound of the ocean.
No Australian honeymoon is complete with a trip to the spiritual heart of the country: Uluru. Walk around the base at sunrise, share a candlelit dinner under the stars, and hear Aboriginal stories that bring the landscape to life. It’s a deeply moving place, with a sense of stillness and space that’s rare to find.
You could choose to head to the Barossa Valley in South Australia, one of Australia’s most celebrated wine regions. Here, you can indulge in cellar door tastings, long vineyard lunches and luxurious spa hotels tucked amongst rolling hills. It's the perfect place to eat, drink and soak up time together.
Tasmania offers something a little different: raw, dramatic, and quietly romantic. Explore rugged coastlines and ancient rainforests, cosy up in secluded eco-lodges, and indulge in world-class food and wine. Whether hiking in Cradle Mountain or stargazing from a private outdoor bath, it’s a destination that feels worlds away.

Our favourite Australia Honeymoon ideas

Our Australia specialist, Otti, says:
"Australia’s a brilliant choice for a honeymoon, whether you’re looking to completely switch off or dive into something a bit more adventurous, you will find it there. You could be drinking world-class Shiraz in the vineyards of South Australia one day, then be tucked away at an adults-only lodge on the Great Barrier Reef the next. For more adventurous couples, the hiking trails in Tasmania or the Blue Mountains are spectacular. Or instead, if you prefer city streets, then there’s still so much to explore, from buzzing markets like Mindil Beach Sunset Market in Darwin to chic art galleries like the MONA in Hobart."

FAQs About Your Australia Honeymoons Holiday
Planning a holiday to Australia Honeymoons? Our experts share advice on everything from what to pack, when to go, to tips for families, covering the questions we get asked the most.
Is Australia a good honeymoon destination?
Definitely! Australia offers everything from luxury lodges and romantic beaches to adventurous hikes and world-class wineries. Whether you want a relaxing retreat or an active getaway, Australia provides unforgettable experiences for honeymooners.
What is the best place to see koalas and kangaroos in Australia?
Some of the best wildlife spotting happens on Kangaroo Island, near Adelaide, which is famous for both kangaroos and koalas. Another excellent place for spotting Australia’s most iconic animals is the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. Guided tours tend to offer the best chance to see these world-famous animals.
What are the best luxury lodges in Australia?
Australia boasts some truly exceptional luxury lodges. Longitude 131° near Uluru offers unparalleled views of the iconic rock with spacious tented suites and personalised experiences. On the Great Barrier Reef, Orpheus Island provides exclusive island seclusion with pristine beaches, gourmet dining, and tailored activities, perfect for those seeking both adventure and indulgence.
Is Australia a very expensive country to visit?
Australia can be pricier than some destinations, especially in major cities and popular tourist areas. However, there are options to suit a range of budgets. Planning ahead, choosing to travel outside of peak season, or including self-drive elements instead of internal flights can help manage costs while still resulting in an unforgettable trip.
When is the best time of year to visit Australia?
Australia’s climate varies significantly between north and south. The north is best visited during the dry season, from May to October, when it’s warm but less humid. The south enjoys mild weather in spring and autumn, September to November and March to May, perfect for city breaks and vineyard tours.
What are the best wine regions in Australia?
The Barossa Valley in South Australia and the Hunter Valley just outside Sydney are two of Australia’s most romantic wine regions. You’ll find rolling vineyards, boutique wineries, and long, lazy lunches in stunning surroundings. Many estates also offer private tastings and luxury stays, perfect for couples.
What are the most intimate stays for my Australia holiday?
If you're after privacy and peaceful luxury, we recommend Sal Salis, a remote beachside eco-lodge by Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia. Or alternatively, Capella Lodge on Lord Howe Island, where rainforest meets reef and where only 400 visitors can stay at any time. Both offer intimacy, incredible natural beauty, and the feeling of having it all to yourselves.
What’s the best way to get around Australia on my honeymoon?
Australia’s distances are vast, but that doesn’t mean travel has to be stressful. Why not consider The Ghan and the Indian Pacific, luxury trains that take you across the continent in comfort, with gourmet dining, private cabins, and expansive outback views. They are Australia’s answer to the Orient Express.
Is Australia a good place for an adventurous honeymoon?
Absolutely. Whether you want to hike through Tasmania’s wild landscapes, snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, or watch the sunrise over Uluru, Australia is packed with unforgettable experiences for couples who love to explore. You can pair adventure with luxury and have the best of both worlds.
What are Australia’s best beaches for honeymooners?
Australia has no shortage of romantic beaches, but a few shine especially bright. Whitehaven Beach in the Whitsundays is iconic for its dazzling white sand and crystal-clear water. Lucky Bay in Western Australia is known for its striking beauty and resident kangaroos, while Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach combines classic surf culture with great food and coastal walks, perfect for couples wanting both relaxation and buzz.
What are the best adults-only lodges in Australia?
Two of our favourites are Sequoia Lodge in the Adelaide Hills and Cape Lodge in Margaret River. Both combine exceptional food, wine, and wellness experiences with tranquil settings designed for complete relaxation. These retreats are perfect if you’re looking for a romantic, adults-only escape with world-class service.
