The Most Romantic Getaways in Victoria to Fall in Love With in 2026
For a weekend getaway that will set your hearts aflutter, dial up the romance with these romantic getaways in Victoria, for two.
Romantic getaways in Victoria come in many forms: bluestone cottages beneath the Grampians, vineyard estates made for long lunches, coastal hotels with bathhouse rituals, and city stays that turn Melbourne into the main event. From the Mornington Peninsula to Daylesford, Beechworth, Sorrento and the Yarra Valley, the state is rich with stays designed for anniversaries, honeymoons and weekends that deserve a little more ceremony.
Whether you’re chasing firelight and farmland, deep-soaking tubs, chef-led dining, spa time or a room with a view, these romantic getaways in Victoria bring together the best of food, wine, design and landscape. Book one for the person you love, or the person you’re hoping to impress.
Romantic Getaways Victoria: Regional
Royal Mail Hotel’s Mount Sturgeon Cottages
In the shadow of the Grampians, Royal Mail Hotel and nearby Mount Sturgeon Cottages make a compelling case for skipping town with someone you adore. The restored 1840s bluestone cottages are all firelight, king-sized beds, farmland views and mountain air, with a new onsite sauna and spa adding a suitably indulgent edge. Step outside and the landscape does the rest: rolling paddocks, big skies, and emus wandering close enough to turn a morning coffee into a full Grampians moment.
A short drive brings you back to the hotel’s main hub, where Wickens is reason enough to plan the entire stay around dinner. The seasonal tasting menu draws from the Royal Mail’s 1.2-hectare organic kitchen garden, turning the region’s produce into something precise, expressive and deeply memorable. The dessert alone moved our Melbourne editor to tears. Add a cellar rich with local and international bottles, including a serious French showing, and this becomes one of Victoria’s great dining pilgrimages.
For a more relaxed meal, Parker Street Project brings comfort with a clever country accent. The herb and garlic Parker loaf, served with aged cheddar and Vegemite butter, is rich, salty, nostalgic and wildly good.
Between kitchen garden tours, wildlife encounters, vineyard experiences and long afternoons shaped by mountain light, this is romance without the cliché. Just excellent food, beautiful wine, a fireplace waiting at the end of the night and the rare pleasure of feeling completely out of reach.

Alba Thermal Springs & Spa
On the Mornington Peninsula, Alba Thermal Springs & Spa has added a new stay experience to its already blissed-out world of bathing and wellness. Five standalone villas and two studios bring king-sized beds, Aesop amenities, private baths and calm, tonal interiors to the Fingal sanctuary, with a new sauna and spa adding another reason to make a full escape of it.
Mornings can start with breakfast at Thyme or in-room before a slip into Alba’s thermal pools, where native bushland, mineral-rich water and a glass of local wine do most of the heavy lifting. Add a private pool upgrade or a considered wellness ritual, and you have one of Victoria’s most restorative romantic getaways.

LMG Collection Cleveland Estate
Cleveland Estate is what happens when date night gets ideas above its station. Set among the vineyards of Lancefield, this Macedon Ranges estate brings together 50 king suites, the grand 1887 Homestead and enough country-house theatre to make a night away feel deliciously grown-up. Start in the underground Cellar Door, move on to wood-fired pizza or a long à la carte dinner, then claim the billiard room like you own the place. It is indulgent, a little old-school and much more fun than another weekend at home.

The Benev
Hidden among Beechworth’s gold-rush streets, The Benev brings a grown-up sense of romance to the High Country. This adults-only retreat is built for long mornings, late check-outs and the rare pleasure of doing very little, very beautifully. Suites come with king-sized beds, freestanding stone baths and wood-burning fireplaces, while the in-room ‘dabble bar’ lets you turn bath time into a private spa ritual.
There is more to sink into beyond the room, too: yoga, meditation and treatments in the spa lounge, sundowner cocktails on the lawn during the warmer months, and easy access to Woolshed Falls, Lake Sambell and the region’s rock pools. It is intimate, considered and deeply restorative, with just enough decadence to make a Beechworth weekend feel like a small, delicious secret.

Dairy Flat Farm & Lodge
Set in Musk, just ten minutes from Daylesford, Dairy Flat Farm & Lodge brings the Lake House sensibility to 38 acres of regenerative farmland. Six private king suites sit within a European-style lodge framed by productive gardens, olive groves, vineyard rows, heritage fruit trees and a bake house dedicated to slow-fermented sourdough. It is country life with excellent linen, beautiful bread and a very good drink never far away.
Romance here is measured in appetite, landscape and the pleasure of staying put. Breakfast arrives farmhouse-style, the gardens feed the Lake House kitchens, and seasonal workshops bring guests closer to the land. Book the Forage & Feast experience for the full immersion: farm walks, hands-on classes, generous meals, good wine and a Daylesford escape where staying in feels like the whole point.

DSTNTN Mirror Home
Among towering Californian Redwoods in the Yarra Valley, DSTNTN’s Mirror Home turns a weekend away into something far more transportive. Wrapped in glass and set off-grid, it pairs striking design with the essentials done exceptionally well: a bed, shower, kitchenette, outdoor bath and fire pit, all carefully positioned to draw your eye back to the landscape. Spend the afternoon tasting your way through nearby cellar doors, then return for a soak under the stars and a night completely removed from the usual pace. It is private, immersive and just unusual enough to feel unforgettable.
The Buckland Studios
It doesn’t get more romantic than sharing a bath in front of a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking a forest. The Buckland Studios is a romantic getaway in Victoria four hours outside of Melbourne — and it’s worth every minute of the journey. Situated in Buckland Valley, you’ll be graced with views of Mount Buffalo towering over endless green fields right outside of your cosy studio. Walk by the paddocks and watch cows gently graze, and be sure to wave hello to Finley and Fergus, the Buckland’s two friendly Highland Cows.
These studios are the perfect opportunity to do a whole lot of…nothing. And it’s absolutely blissful. Treat yourself to the optional grazing board and Prosecco while you draw a luxurious bath and spend the night sipping wine and feeding each other local cheeses, dips and fruit. Rinse off in the stunning His and Hers showers in the middle of the bathroom, one of the many thoughtful touches making this one of the most romantic getaways we’ve ever stumbled across.
Awaiting you the next morning is a generous breakfast hamper containing bread, eggs, bacon, granola, yoghurt and seasonal fruit; everything you could possibly need to make a hearty breakfast during your stay.

The Intercontinental Sorrento

Rooms and suites look out towards the foreshore and township, while the hotel’s heritage bones lend the whole stay a sense of ceremony. Days can move from Aurora Spa & Bathhouse to long lunches, late dinners and a nightcap in the speakeasy, with the beach and Sorrento’s boutiques just beyond the door. It is romantic in the best way: elegant, easy to settle into and made for a weekend that feels genuinely far from the everyday.

Days can drift between Wombat Hill, long lunches and the mineral-springs mood of the region before returning to a stay made for bathrobes, wine and nowhere urgent to be.
