Australia, like all countries in the world, has lots of places that are ideal for a romantic meal, or just to spend some quality time as a couple. Romance is important in a relationship, so where do the Australians go for a romantic break? Read on for our list of the most romantic destinations in Australia.
Bondi Beach
Bondi beach is one of the world’s most iconic beaches. It is part of the Australian National Heritage List and really is somewhere to add to the top of your Sydney bucket list. With one kilometre of soft golden sand and a backdrop of green parkland, it is an ideal place to relax on a warm day. For swimmers, the north end of the beach is the best, while those that enjoy surfing should head to the south end for the Bondi’s famous current. In the summer months, you may be lucky enough to see whales and dolphins swim by as they migrate. So romantic!
Whitsundays
The Whitsundays, just off the coast of Queensland, are a group of islands that offer the ideal romantic setting. Some islands are quite isolated, while others like Hamilton Island that are big tourist attractions. One of the most popular activities in the Whitsundays is the glass bottom boats. These boats provide the amazing experiencing of seeing unique sealife that you might otherwise miss. It is something you should certainly add to your tour of the Great Barrier Reef.
Port Douglas

Cycling, scuba diving, hiking and trekking are all on offer in Port Douglas. You can also just sit back and watch the world pass you by while you enjoy a drink and some fine food in one of the many bars and cafes.
Broome
Broome is a town with a chilled-out vibe along the Indian Ocean coastline of Western Australia. It was renowned as a centre for the pearl industry in the late 19th century but now has developed into a charming town that is a delight for travellers from all over the world. With a population of just 13,000, its tree-shaded streets and scenic coastal stretches offer one of the most relaxing and unique breaks you could hope for.
Margaret River
A small town of only 4,500 inhabitants, Margaret River is a great base for exploring the surrounding wine regions. It is a town of many facets and welcomes tourists with open arms. It is said the people are some of the friendliest in Australia and is an ideal location for a romantic weekend away.
Sydney
It’s hard not to find something romantic to do in Sydney! Whether you want culture, cuisine, nightlife, shopping, sightseeing, water sports, theatres, markets, bars or whatever else you can think of, Sydney has it all. It is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world but has a down-to-earth nature at its heart that enhances this harbour city’s iconic features. Visit the famous Opera house or take a walk around vibrant Darling Harbour. Try any type of food you fancy without having to search for hours and take in a few shops while you’re there.
Every couple has their own idea of the perfect romantic break, but Australia has no shortage of places that provide the perfect setting no matter your preferences.
