Is there anything better than a romantic spring getaway? The weather\u2019s fantastic, the jacarandas and wildflowers are in full bloom, and the quiet months in the lead-up to Christmas are an awesome time to snap up a great deal on a stay (and have a well-earned break before the end-of-year rush). In fact, we think it\u2019s such a good idea we\u2019re going to indulge in a little holiday daydreaming. Here are six sweet couples\u2019 breaks we think every twosome needs in their (love) life.<\/p>\n

1. The luxury love nest<\/h2>\n

Couples\u2019 massages. Private plunge pools. Secluded, snuggly cabins. If you and your SO are keen for some serious, ahem, \u2018adult\u2019 time, then you\u2019ll love one of Australia\u2019s incredible adults-only resorts. Check out Cape Beach House<\/a> in Byron Bay for boutique beach-house vibes just a few-minutes\u2019 stroll from Arakwal National Park and Clarkes Beach, Spicers Sangoma Retreat<\/a> in Bowen Mountain for epic views, a steamy sauna, and awesome prenatal massages (perfect for babymoons), Misty View Cottages Montville<\/a> on the Sunshine Coast for your own private infinity pool (Lalique Cottage only), and Sequoia Lodge<\/a> in the Adelaide Hills for an unreal on-site spa and tailored proposal packages \ud83d\udc8d \ud83d\ude0d<\/p>\n

2. The amorous adventure<\/h2>\n

\"Couple<\/p>\n

Love\u2019s not the only thing that can get your heart racing. Take your special someone on an exciting adventure getaway and you\u2019ll be making memories as well as whoopee. Head to Kangaroo Valley for awesome kayaking, canoeing, mountain biking and wildlife spotting, as well as a gorgeous stay at Wildes Hotel Kangaroo Valley<\/a>. Take off to Cairns for snorkelling (or even skydiving!) on the Great Barrier Reef, day trips to the Daintree Rainforest, and some well-earned pampering at Crystalbrook Riley<\/a>. Or go seriously off-the-grid at Bamurru Plains<\/a> \u2013 a gorgeous all-inclusive safari camp in the Top End, surrounded by some of Australia\u2019s most spectacular bird and wildlife.<\/p>\n

3. The foodie frolic<\/h2>\n

\"Tasting<\/p>\n

Has your partner ever told you that the way to their heart is through their stomach? Well, it\u2019s time to put that claim to the test! Champagne, oysters, chocolate \u2013 it\u2019s no coincidence so many of our favourite foods and drinks have reputations for romance. If you\u2019re as passionate about wine as you are each other, make a beeline for The Louise<\/a> in the Barossa or the Grand Mercure Basildene Manor<\/a> in Margaret River \u2013 two stunning country hideaways surrounded by some of their region\u2019s best wineries. If it\u2019s seafood you both crave, hit the road to Limani Motel<\/a> in Port Lincoln \u2013 a stylish beachfront stay in the heart of Oz\u2019s \u2018seafood capital\u2019. Or if you\u2019re a couple of sweet tooths, have a squiz at Chateau Yering Hotel<\/a> in the Yarra Valley. You\u2019ll love its old-school European charm \u2013 and its location, just a 10-minute drive from Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery<\/a>, isn\u2019t too bad either \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

4. The relaxing retreat<\/h2>\n

\"Couples<\/p>\n

Fluttering eyelashes, dramatic swooning, racing hearts \u2013 it\u2019s hard work being in love. So you should probably check in relaxing, rejuvenating spa and wellness stay, ASAP. Whisk yourselves away to the Hunter Valley for gorgeous scenery, incredible wine, and an unbelievable stay at the Elysia Wellness Retreat<\/a>, where you\u2019ll enjoy tai chi, yoga, and pilates sessions, a full-service spa, and more. Run away to the Mornington Peninsula for untamed coastlines, adorable wildlife, and all the super luxe indulgence of Intercontinental Sorrento, Mornington Peninsula<\/a>, VIC (which includes an award-winning spa and bathhouse, a fully equipped gym and a fabulous Mediterranean-style outdoor pool). Or elope to Daylesford, Australia\u2019s mineral and spa capital, for natural hot springs, quaint villages to explore, and the elegant gothic charm of Hotel Bellinzona Daylesford<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5. The naughty by nature<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s time to go au naturel \u2013 and we\u2019re not talking about getting down to your birthday suit (although if that\u2019s what you have in mind, who are we to judge?). Whether it\u2019s a sweet little eco treehouse or a secluded mountain hideaway, a nature getaway is just the thing for disconnecting from life\u2019s distractions and reconnecting with what really matters (hint: it\u2019s each other). We adore Paperbark Camp<\/a> in Jervis Bay for its bush-glam tents, daily free brekkie, and awesome treetop restaurant, Freycinet Lodge<\/a> in Tassie for its top-notch daily activities (we\u2019re talking cruises, in-room massages, gourmet dining experiences, and more) and gorgeous bayside location, and Eco Beach Wilderness Retreat<\/a> near Broome for its stylish tents and cabins, exquisite beachside (and even on-the-beach) dining, and invigorating Mud and Bubbles signature spa treatment.<\/p>\n

6. The \ud83d\ude09 in the City<\/h2>\n

\"Melbourne<\/p>\n

A quickie city getaway is like the ultimate date night, except the fun lasts for days, not hours. Think dinner and dancing, cheeky rooftop cocktails, or even just a night-time stroll under the streetlights and stars\u2026 bliss! Lovey-dovey traveller faves include Sofitel Adelaide<\/a> in Adelaide for its cool designer vibes, unreal modern French restaurant, and seriously tempting indoor pool, and Hotel Realm<\/a> in Canberra for its chic modern style, must-visit Mudd spa, and easy access to some of Oz\u2019s best museums and galleries. But if you\u2019re feeling really sweet, check out M\u00f6venpick Hotel Melbourne On Spencer<\/a>, a luxury hotel in the heart of Melbourne that\u2019s OBSESSED with chocolate. With a droolworthy dessert caf\u00e9, a complimentary chocolate hour every day, and the Chef-Hatted Miss Mi\u2019s on site just in case you feel like something savory for a change, it\u2019s a truly decadent stay.<\/p>\n<\/i> PLAN YOUR ROMANTIC GETAWAY <\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
