Australia is definitely one of the most romantic countries in the world. It has some of the most stunning places our beautiful planet has to offer, so no wonder why this part of the world is one of the most frequently visited by couples. Many couples are eager to spend their honeymoon or a romantic weekend in Down Under. Want to know which are the most popular spots?
1. Byron Bay
Who wouldn’t want to explore ancient subtropical rainforests with their beloved one? It’s a unique adventure for couples – just the two of you wandering through the forest, surrounded by wilderness. Byron Bay is great because it also has the option to indulge yourselves when you get tired of walking adventure. You can have relaxing massages together and get facial treatments with natural ingredients. Luxury like the mineral spa is also at your disposal there, as well as a steam room and a luxurious shower. After discovering the forest, there’s nothing better than relaxing together in a comfy hotel.

2. Hayman Island
Hayman Island is one of the most romantic Australian islands. It’s located some 30km from Shute Harbour and it offers a great number of hotels specifically designed for couples. It’s a popular island for those who are thinking of taking their relationship to the next level – there are many great spots perfect for a proposal or even reaffirming your vows. There’s even a cute chapel above the sea level with a lovely view – no better place to declare your love for each other, right?
3. Palm Cove, Queensland
Queensland offers a warm climate, beautiful rainforest and peace – great for couples who want to enjoy solitude. It’s only 30 minutes from Cairns, meaning you have your own piece while being close to the hustle and busy nightlife. It also gives you access to the Great barrier Reef activities and trips – something you shouldn’t miss. You’ll be accommodated in luxurious hotels and enjoy long stretches of beaches lined with palm trees. This small village will make you slow down, take long barefoot walks along the sandy beach and take your time together. Don’t miss the opportunity to admire the views of Double Island and the coral sea surrounding it. Treat yourself in one of the many lovely restaurants that offer lovely sunset views, too.

4. El Questro Homestead, Kimberley, Western Australia
In case you’re looking for a truly dramatic landscape, this is a place for you. The ancient beauty of Kimberley made of bushland and stark gorges will stick with you forever. Couples especially enjoy the peaceful serenity there, so even if you don’t have a partner right now, why shouldn’t you visit an Aussie dating website and find someone who will definitely appreciate the surroundings with you? And this place is the ultimate Australian frontier – it still has vast space for the two of you to explore. Choose one of the high-end accommodation options there that offer the spectacular view of the Chamberlain Gorge. Try out activities like horseback riding or have a picnic on the top of a waterfall.
5. Hunter Valley
For those who enjoy good wine, Hunter Valley is the place they will never want to leave. Australia’s finest red wine originates from this place in New South Wales. Hunter Valley is easy to reach from Sydney and maybe the best thing about it is that it isn’t huge like some other wine regions in the country. It’s what makes it so attractive for couples. It’s easy to find a lovely couple retreat from where you can have long walks through lush vineyards and visit various cellars in warm, summer evenings.

6. Pumphouse Point, Lake St Clair, Tasmania
No one says that tropics are the only romantic region. Cozy fires in the evening and chilly mornings can be romantic as well if you spend them with your partner under a soft, warm blanket. Tasmania is abundant with scenic spots and thick forests and surrounded by mountain peaks capped with snow. There is great accommodation just above the lake and every room is filled with local products like wine, cheese and meat.
7. Southern Highlands, NSW
If you’re eager to see beautiful countryside, this is the area for the two of you. The region leaves the impression of a sleepy place with a slow, relaxed pace of life that welcomes tourists. The mild climate ensures pleasant days and even more comfortable nights. The vicinity of the Morton National Park provides you with the opportunity to enjoy stunning waterfalls, thick rainforests and unique gorges. You can have a romantic picnic wherever you feel like and then continue to the Cave Creek Walking Track.
Final comment
Australia offers some of the ultimate romantic getaways. If you want to see this lovely country, just follow your heart and pick a spot that will provide both of you an unbelievable time.
