Most Romantic Holiday Destinations

How's your love light shining these days? If your romantic fire could do with a little stoking, we've got the perfect couples escapes for you.

What kind of romantic spark are you looking for to heat things up? How about a luxuriously soft rug for two by a crackling fireplace? Check out our Tassie, Queenstown and Banff deals. Need a little help from the vino gods to set the mood? A few days amid the vines of Napa, Hawke's Bay or the Barossa is guaranteed to do the trick. Keen on playing castaway with your special someone? Unpack your coconut oil and unroll your beach towels on the warm sands of Bora Bora, Legian or Daydream Island.

Whether you're dreaming of a luxury weekend escape from the kids or a weeklong retreat someplace where the world will never find you, Wotif has couples covered.

Where to go for a romantic getaway

Explore the laneways and bars of some of the world's most famous cities, or simply unwind by the shores of the South Pacific. Whatever your pace, we've got just the destination for you!

Port Douglas

Port Douglas marks the spot where the rainforest meets the reef. Discover two World Heritage-listed treasures side by side in this coastal town in Tropical North…

Hamilton Island

Coming in at number one out of the Whitsundays’ 74 islands is Hamilton Island. The biggest and the best – Hamilton Island doesn’t make it a hard choice.

Melbourne

From the maze of laneways that make up the city’s core to the wide streets fit for trams, Melbourne is a puzzle just waiting to be unpacked.

Castaway Island

You could pretend Castaway is your desert island fantasy, except it has all the creature comforts you could need.

Christchurch

Christchurch, or “ChCh” to those in the know, is a creative, cultural university city that is both blessed and cursed by Mother Nature.

Bay of Islands

New Zealand’s amazing natural diversity reaches new highs in this subtropical paradise in Northland.

Banff

Banff may be a gateway to adventure in the Canadian Rockies, but don’t just pass through this resort town. Get to know it.

Hunter Valley

Get ready to sniff, swirl, sip and swish your way around Hunter Valley, New South Wales’ premier winemaking destination.

Margaret River

Fancy yourself as a foodie, a wine buff, or someone with an eye for art? Margaret River is the place for you.

Hoi An

After seeing the French colonial architecture, ancient Buddhist temples and monumental merchant houses of Hoi An, escape to the seaside for a sneaky getaway.

Wanaka

Crisp mountain air and wide open spaces, the magnetic pull and cool vibe of Wanaka are hard to resist.

Punakaiki

Everyone wants to see the unique formations called Pancake Rocks, but that’s not all Punakaiki serves up.

Bora Bora

Bora Bora, the legendary ‘Pearl of the Pacific’, is so ridiculously beautiful that you keep pinching yourself to check you’re not dreaming.

Tasmania

Isolation and indulgence – Tasmania is truly a place where you can get away from it all while enjoying some of the freshest culture and cuisine.

Napa

Indulge in the many luxuries of Napa, a getaway within a getaway.

Kauai

The Garden Island definitely has the right nickname. Find its legendary beauty on land and under water.

Blue Mountains

Feel on top of the world in the Blue Mountains. Sydney’s backyard is a rugged range of mountain peaks tinged with a soft indigo hue.

Daydream Island

Take off your watch because time runs differently on Daydream Island.

Barossa Valley

It may be the granddaddy of Australia’s wine regions, but for foodies, wine buffs and romantics, the Barossa Valley shows no sign of getting old.

Queenstown

Dubbed the Adventure Capital of the World, there is no place more thrilling than Queenstown.

Margaret River Wine Region

Picture yourself in Western Australia’s premium wine region. Boundless beaches on one side, vineyard-laced lowlands on the other.

Marlborough

With its fresh seafood, award-winning wines and picturesque coves, Marlborough reaches out to those who appreciate the good things in life.

Hawke's Bay

Beaches and vineyards as far as the eye can see, scenic bird colonies and awesome headlands sum up this remote coastal region.
