With the surrounding chaos that is life, it can be hard to set aside some quality time with your better half to simply soak in each other’s company or get the sparks flying again.
No special occasion needed, we’ve rounded up some of the best romantic getaways in Western Australia to spoil your significant other and soak in all the romantic feels with candlelit dinners, outdoor baths, and a few rose petals here and there.
Sal Salis Ningaloo Reef
Waking up with the sun in an eco-luxe safari tent and looking out across the sparkling waters of Ningaloo Reef just screams romantic getaway for two.
Sal Salis offers views of the untouched outback on one side and one of the world’s greatest coastlines on the other. You’ll feel completely disconnected from reality in your own little slice of natural paradise, with plenty of relaxing or exciting ways to fill your days.
La Forêt Enchantée
A private forest retreat set exclusively on 10 acres of private Margaret River waterfront, La Forêt Enchantée is your dream fairytale setting for a romantic weekend away.
The renaissance-inspired garden surrounds will certainly stir up the love, alongside lush greenery, bubbling fountains, and wide verandahs stretching to open sky decks. Two secluded cabins are on offer, both with luxurious furnishings, marble bathrooms, and seductive mood lighting perfect for rose petals, evening meals, and bubbles.
Berkeley River Lodge
The ultimate location for complete privacy, this tranquil lodge is only accessible via a private airstrip.
You’ll be wedged between Timor Sea sunrises and Berkeley River sunsets at a Kimberley gem that brings all the lovey feels with a remote luxury lodge experience. The villa accommodation offers unbeatable views and the surroundings make for experiences like river cruises, gorge hikes, and fine dining under the stars.
Petit Eco Cabin
Whisk them away to the adults-only retreat that is Petit Eco Cabin.
Not only is the cabin itself visually stunning, but its surrounding lush green bush and nearby lake overlooking the organic vineyard make the backdrop equally picture-perfect. Your bed will look out a waterfall window framing the farm and vineyard views, and you can find a vintage outdoor bath tucked around the corner for a private soak.
The Swan Valley Retreat
An escape to the lush green vineyards of the Swan Valley could be exactly what you and your significant other need for a little one-on-one time.
The Swan Valley Retreat offers a chance to recharge and soak in the serenity, explore glasses of award-winning wine, and indulge in a luxurious day spa with a couples massage to really alleviate the stress. It features just three rooms to maintain seclusion, but we’d recommend going for The Wine Barrell room with your own private outdoor hot tub. Oo la la!
The Lodge Wadjemup
Located a convenient 30-minute ferry ride from Fremantle on Rottnest Island/ Wadjemup , The Lodge is the perfect romantic escape with your special someone.
This new accommodation offers a place to rest, retreat and refresh all in barefoot luxury. Whether you choose to spend the day lounging by the pool, curled up with a book in your room, wining and dining at Sunsets or exploring the island and finishing your day with a glass of wine on your balcony, this is a spot which will leave you and your partner feeling loved up and serene.
Cape Lodge
Sitting pretty among bushland and vineyards in Margaret River, Cape Lodge will become your very own private country estate.
It’s private, stylish, sophisticated, and also home to a restaurant boasting seasonal dishes and wine straight from their vineyard. You can take on a morning stroll through their private walking trails, spend an evening under the trees stargazing or explore the Margaret River surrounds in your spare time.
Premier Mill Hotel
When you think romantic getaway, I can safely assume you don’t think of heading out to the Wheatbelt – but Premier Mill Hotel might change all that.
It’s a beautifully restored old mill in the town of Katanning, featuring touches of heritage charm blended with small elements of luxury. Your escape to the country will be done in style at one of their twenty-two rooms, and the intimate underground bar will serve as a romantic evening starter with mood lighting and a share plate menu.
Discovery Rottnest Island
A trip to Rottnest Island doesn’t always have to be a family affair.
The slightly newer glamping accommodation of Discovery Rottnest Island provides a perfect two-person tent stay under the stars where you can relax to the sound of washing waves and nature. The island itself offers plenty of opportunities for romance too, from a stroll along picturesque beaches to bike rides past pink salt lakes or a sunset picnic perched on the dunes.
Esperance Chalet Village
The glistening waters and untouched nature of Esperance are already the perfect setting to get sparks flying, and this chalet village provides a picturesque base camp to call home for a bit.
Charming king shacks and log cabins are ideal for couples seeking some alone time, sprawled across private grounds surrounded by nature with the sound of lapping waves and chirping birds becoming your new morning alarm.
Hidden Valley Forest Retreat
Anywhere with an outdoor bathtub is automatically classified as romantic in our books.
This tranquil retreat has five forest chalets spread across a 110-acre property, all with complete privacy and the surroundings of forest greenery, lakes, and orchards. During winter you can cosy up by the crackling fire and listen to the rain on the roof, or simply sit out in the crisp air with a cuppa and take in the pristine countryside.
