Australia’s most beautiful honeymoon retreats

The most important decision for after your big day

Choosing your honeymoon destination is almost as important as choosing the dress and the flowers. You need maximum luxury, with views to match, plus ample opportunities for a cheeky Instagram post or two. These incredible hotels have all of that, and more. Start saving now, these beauties are worth the spend.

El Questro, WA

Cantilevered out of the beautiful Chamberlain River, with dramatic views of the Cockburn Range [insert inappropriate joke here]. El Questro is the most luxurious way to experience the Kimberly. Set on a million acre cattle station (that’s almost as big as The Grand Canyon) this five-start resort has dining under the stars, a pool with a view, thermal pools nearby and you can rent your own 4x4 to explore the rugged surrounds. Bliss. elquestro.com.au

Qualia, QLD

A staple with celebs (Taylor Swift booked the whole resort out, remember?), Qualia on Hamilton Island is the epitome of exclusive. Avoid this place if five-star private villas with infinity pools and views out of the Whitsundays aren’t really your thing. Sure, you could go snorkeling, diving or sailing, but you could also relax with a mojito in the two private bars then wim in your private pool, couldn’t you? qualia.com.au

Saffire Freycinet, TAS

In terms of instagrammable moments, this beautiful lodge has it all. Stunning national park views, architecturally impressive buildings, food that looks like artwork – made with local ingredients – and views for days. The best part though is that Saffire Freycinet offers complimentary experiences like dining on oysters in the middle of a lake, meeting Tasmanian devils, Pelican Bay canoeing and wine and vine adventures. saffire-freycinet.com.au

Wolgan Valley, NSW

Most people arrive via helicopters to this exclusive resort in the Blue Mountains, near Sydney, but you can also drive your posh car there. One and Only Wolgan Valley is a collection of private lodges (bigger than your apartment), each with a personal lap pool, and views of kangaroos, wombats and sunsets. The homestead restaurant and spa bring together regional ingredients and the large pool looks out over the whole valley. oneandonlyresorts.com

Longtitude 131

If you like a room with a view, Longtitude 131 should be on your bucket list. Wake up in this luxury glamping resort and all you’ll see is red desert for miles with Uluru in centre view. To see the changing colours of Australia’s largest rock, you don’t even need to leave your bed. Plus, your private verandah even has an outdoor gas fire and comfy lounges (yes, it’s that big). When the heat rises, choose from the icy plunge pool or the larger communal pool, and spend your evenings listening to the stars. longitude131.com.au
