Are you ready to indulge in a world of romance and luxury? If you’re looking for an escape where you can rest, recharge, and reconnect, these romantic getaways in Victoria are some of the absolute best. From intimate coastal sanctuaries to opulent cliffside villas, each destination promises an unforgettable experience for you and your special someone. At these luxury hideaways, you’ll be spoiled with great views, bespoke suite amenities, culinary adventures, and plenty of time to enjoy each other’s company all while surrounded by natural beauty and gorgeous interior spaces.
Drift House
To start, a charming and intimate destination set in Port Fairy on the Great Ocean Road. Drift House exudes opulent style and offers an ensemble of only six exquisitely secluded guest suites. These thoughtfully designed spaces are gracefully spread over both heritage buildings and exquisite modern extensions. We love the spacious open-plan layouts that feature seating and dining spaces, and the free-standing deep-soaking tubs in some of the suites.
An embodiment of sophistication and intimacy, this adults-only boutique haven beckons couples to detach from the mundane and bask in pure indulgence, where an aura of effortless luxury makes way for relaxation and rejuvenation. On-site, you can enjoy flavourful and inspired dishes at The Salon—a beautifully designed garden pavilion and lounge open all day. We can already imagine some romantic midnight snacking. Feel like having some fine varietal wines from the Henty, Grampians, and Geelong regions? Honesty Bar is exclusively available to Drift House guests 24/7 too!
Hepburn Spa Retreat
If you’re looking for a wellness-inspired yet equally romantic hideaway, Hepburn Spa Retreat is definitely for you. Nestled within the tranquil embrace of its natural surroundings, Hepburn Spa Retreat boasts a collection of ten exquisitely appointed suites, each with panoramic vistas of the serene bushland.
Bathed in warm natural light, the interior spaces feature an artful interplay of pendant and wall lamps, strategically selected to harmonize with your circadian rhythm, making it a wonderful choice for your much-deserved sleep and romantic R&R moments. Adding a touch of luxe to this haven, the meticulously crafted spa tubs and inviting fireplaces stand as the suites’ crowning jewels, elevating your romantic escape. As your day melts into night, Hepburn Spa Retreat’s play on high-tech lights and comfort invites you to unwind and spend quality time with your special someone.
Hotel Bellinzona
Hotel Bellinzona is ideal for couples seeking a luxurious boutique escape in the heart of Hepburn Springs. What we love about this escape is its timeless charm and combination of darker colour palettes that set the mood for romance. Its refined interiors blend artistry and comfort, and every corner of the hotel exudes timeless elegance, creating an ambience of beauty and refinement.
On-site, you and your significant other can enjoy culinary masterpieces at the hotel’s restaurant or awaken your senses at the heated indoor pool, spa, or sauna. What’s great about this escape is that it’s just a leisurely stroll away from the famed Hepburn Bathhouse, where you can enjoy a dip in the natural mineral springs. Hotel Bellinzona invites you to embrace tranquillity in elegant and atmospheric spaces!

We often underestimate the importance of getting away with our loved ones. During everyday life at home there are simply too many distractions. You are absolutely right.
Agree Nick. It’s so important to get away and enjoy time together.
Contemporary architecture interests me though that doesn’t mean that I like everything that architects create.
I would be interested to give the Hepbourn Escape Villa a try. So much of the success of architecture depends on its relationship with its locale, and it takes time to make a call on that one.
Hepburn Spa looks promising, as long as you can dim down those lights. I like to gently relax into the evening.
By coincidence at the weekend we were talking about a visit to the Peak District. It must be at least 10 years since we lasted visited. I think you’ve solved the where to stay problem for us.
Contemporary architecture is like art and is subjective. Hepburn Escape Villa is a beautiful place, and located in some stunning region. Definitely worth the visit if you ever come to Melbourne.
Sorry losing the plot. Should have put the Peak District comment under the Peak District! I’ll do that now.

Low lighting is a must – I totally agree with you Jeff.
Some great locations here. Chocolate Gannets is the one that appeals to us. I think we’ll have to take a serious look at this one.
The view from Chocolate Gannets is incredible. The stunning Great Ocean Road is such a highlight so if you ever visit Melbourne, venture out and visit the region.
It never fails to surprise me how relationships change so much for the better when people escape from the usual humdrum routine. That goes for relationships with your significant other, kids and your own siblings. It’s well worth making the effort to get away to recharge your relationships.
Totally agree Kirsty. It’s almost a requirement to just get out of the day to day and enjoy each other’s company in a more relaxing environment.
