Take Your Love Down Under: 10 Most Romantic Destinations in Australia

Zara Lewis
March 26, 2018

What is your first thought when someone says ‘romantic destination’? For many travellers, that is usually Paris, Venice, or some dreamy tropical beach in a distant part of the world, and certainly not a country like Australia. While it is famous for its iconic cityscapes, Australia is so much more than the wild nightlife of Sydney or the vivid art scene in Melbourne. With a total surface of 7,692,024 km2 and a coastline that is 50,000 kilometres long, the Land Down Under is packed with romantic destinations that can meet everyone’s travel expectations and fit into everyone’s budget. To narrow this infinite list down, here are ten exceptionally beautiful and whimsical spots in Australia to think about.

1. Adelaide Hills, South Australia

If you have always dreamed about visiting Europe, but simply can’t afford it, because, let’s face it, it is still a pretty expensive trip, you can get a little bit of that old-world charm if you visit Adelaide Hills in South Australia. The mix of European architecture, indulging food and picturesque farmlands is ideal for couples who want to escape the city and spend their vacation in the shade of the trees, instead of on a sandy beach. The best thing about this destination is that you can stay in a cottage instead of a hotel.

2.Cable Beach, Western Australia

3. Palm Cove, Queensland

The beautiful alpine scenery of Tasmania is often overlooked by couples seeking a romantic vacation, which is, obviously, unfair.
