Congratulations! You\u2019re soon-to-be parents, so it\u2019s time to squeeze in a quick little trip and revel in that R&R before bub arrives. The criteria for a great babymoon is pretty simple: short travel time from home (no ferries or long drives for any lingering queasiness), a comfy bed to get some much-needed sleep ins and a list of activities tailored to pregnant women that will leave both<\/em> of you feeling super relaxed \ud83d\udc86 Just what the doctor ordered! Here are 10 spots to add to your pre-baby to-visit list.<\/p>\n

1. Bali Hai Resort & Spa, WA<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll feel like you\u2019ve landed in Bali without leaving Aussie shores at this Broome resort<\/a>, where it\u2019s just a short walk to the pure white sand and turquoise waters of Cable Beach. Stay in a Deluxe Studio, sip your complimentary mocktails, sink into your (lukewarm!) deep-soaking tub and spend quality time together with a couples massage tailored to both mum and partner. Top it off with your very own Baby Moon Gift Pack to help welcome your little one.
\nInsider tip:<\/strong> Most spas will request expectant mothers to be past the first trimester for massages.<\/p>\n

2. Elements of Byron McGallery by Sofitel, NSW<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wellness at this hotel<\/a> is based on three r\u2019s: relax, rebalance and revive. The team here know the importance of a babymoon and are more than prepared to cater for a couples-only retreat. On-site Osprey Spa has the ultimate pamper package from head-to-toe with the Inner Glow Pregnancy Ritual, which includes a Mother Earth facial and pregnancy massage. For early risers, sunrise yoga outdoors could be a great way to start your day – all classes are of course adaptable for pregnant guests. Unwind with a soak in your generous (again, tepid) bath – plenty of room for a baby bump.<\/p>\n

3. Piermont Retreat, TAS<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

This charming little estate<\/a> has a farmstead feel but rustic it ain\u2019t – there\u2019s an award-winning restaurant within strolling distance of your room, after all. Although there\u2019s heaps to do, your days will be jam-packed with the right kind of activities – everything from beach walks to kayak trips or fireside relaxation can be part of your last \u2018just-us\u2019 trip.<\/p>\n

4. QT Melbourne, VIC<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

QT Melbourne<\/a> gives you easy access to the very best of Melbourne and, if you\u2019re fur parents, you don\u2019t have to worry about a pet sitter – cats and doggos can come too! Stay in and enjoy food and drinks with a great view of the city from the rooftop bar. Satisfy your sweet tooth with a visit to the on-site caf\u00e9, The Cake Shop, and order a hazelnut hot chocolate (they don\u2019t skimp on the cream!).<\/p>\n

5. Bannisters by the Sea Mollymook, NSW<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll want to make the most of the incredible ocean views at Bannisters by the Sea Mollymook<\/a> so book the Sea or Pavilion room if you can. Mum-to-be can have a 60-minute pregnancy massage and then indulge in a meal at either on-site restaurants: Rick Stein at Bannisters<\/a> is a pretty great place to celebrate your impending arrival. A dip in the plunge pool or a stroll on the beach is the perfect activity for unwinding couples.<\/p>\n

6. Lizard Island Resort, QLD<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

Pack the sunscreen for this tropical island getaway<\/a>, just off the cost of North Queensland. Offering a tailored babymoon package that includes all the bells and whistles, starting with mocktails and chocolate-dipped strawberries on arrival! The three-night babymoon package includes massages, a champagne sunset cruise (soft drink optional for expecting mummas) and a gourmet picnic on a private beach. Just be sure you\u2019re not too close to your due date – there\u2019s no hospital on the island.<\/p>\n

7. Bells at Killcare Boutique Hotel, Restaurant & Spa, NSW<\/h2>\n

Yes please!<\/p>\n

8. Pullman Bunker Bay Resort Margaret River, WA<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Escape the city by taking a three-hour drive from Perth to Pullman Bunker Bay Margaret River<\/a>, where you could stay beachfront in a 5-star garden villa nestled in the Margaret River region. No, we\u2019re not crazy – we\u2019ve suggested wine country for a mum-to-be as Pullman has a relaxing and romantic babymoon package for two, inclusive of daily buffet breakfast, three-course dinner for two and a tailored couples treatment at the Vie Spa Bunker Bay. While mum enjoys the Baby Balance Massage, your partner can get the Muscular Wellbeing massage – to prepare your muscles for all that newborn carrying.<\/p>\n

9. Thala Beach Nature Reserve, QLD<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Leave the city behind and enjoy this Insta-worthy stay<\/a> among the treetops framed by coconut trees and tropical vibes. This tropical North Queensland ecolodge sits at the edge of the Coral Sea, perfect for unplugging and sipping on whole fresh coconuts.
\nInsider tip:<\/strong> The Marina Walk between northern Oak and Pebbly beaches is stunning \u2013 and easily accessible at low tide.<\/p>\n

10. Villa Howden, TAS<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Feel tr\u00e8s chic at this French-inspired getaway<\/a> on the shores of North West Bay. With only 10 rooms, you\u2019ll feel incredibly special as your every need is taken care of. You don\u2019t even have to leave your room to feel relaxed with in-room massages and there’s also an open fireplace to warm yourself by, a huge library to lose yourself in and a full breakfast and complimentary in-suite mini bar (included in the room rate!). Great for couples wanting to explore the city, it\u2019s just 15 minutes drive from Hobart yet it still feels secluded and remote. There are even Australian-made hotel cosmetics by \u201cSerendipity\u201d.<\/p>\n

Heads up! Due to COVID-19, government restrictions are in constant review and travel guidelines may change. We strongly recommend that all travellers seek further information about destinations and attractions before scheduling trips or making bookings, take extra care and follow all rules.<\/em><\/p>\n
