Where should I stay in Queensland for a romantic escape?
From the coast to the forest there are more than a few romantic spots to snuggle up to your better half with in Queensland. Here's some of the most romantic spots in the state:
- Hamilton Island: The largest occupied island in the Whitsundays has been likened to heaven. The beaches are dreamy, the accommodation is a mix of family-friendly resorts, adults-only hotels and bungalows and the pace is slow and relaxing. There's sunshine in spades and the beauty of the Whitsundays, including Whitehaven Beach, are only a short boat ride away.
- Whitsundays: South of the Great Barrier Reef are the Whitsundays. These 74 islands are blessed with powder white sands, colourful corals, lush forest and sunshine. Popular islands to stay at include Hamilton Island as well as Hayman Island, Daydream Island and Long Island.
- Gold Coast: Looking for family and budget friendly? The Gold Coast is the real deal. You'll find a wide variety of accommodation options to suit and the beach is never far. There's also stacks of activities to keep you busy such as theme parks, on-the-water adventures, shopping and nightlife.
- The Daintree: Dive deep enough into the Daintree and you'll find lsecluded spots perfect for two. The resorts here are ridiculously luxurious, often riddled with outdoor baths, in-house spa treatments and balconies overlooking the forest.
- Sunshine Coast Hinterland: A little more rugged than a stay in the Daintree, the Sunshine Coast Hinterland is easier on the wallet and gives adventure seekers the opportunity to explore the parks that surround.
- Heron Island: Found at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef, Heron Island is for animal lovers and is a protected area best known for its green sea turtles and seabirds.
- Port Douglas: Often used as a jumping off point to the Great Barrier Reef, Port Douglas is a budget-friendly location for those seeking water views but without the island resort prices.
- Mission Beach: Less frequented by tourists than other hotspots like Cairns and Port Douglas, Mission Beach is for when you want to get away from it all but not sacrifice on sun and surf. It's here you'll discover quiet swimming holes and beaches coupled with a laid-back vibe that'll see you kiss your cares goodbye.
