I am a lover of luxury and pampering and all newlyweds should have the opportunity to indulge regardless of pocket size or time restrictions. We have found two honeymoon retreats in Australia that specialise in seclusion and luxury.

The Balinese Spa Retreat

The Balinese Spa Retreat in Victoria is exclusive to just one couple a night creating the ultimate retreat. It is home to hot springs and luxury Balinese styled villas which will make you think you are miles away from home. The retreat is an exotic oasis of traditional Balinese architecture, opulent spa treatments and many other secrets that will surprise you on your arrival including dinner on a private lagoon!

The Japanese Mountain Retreat 

The Japanese Mountain Retreat  embodies the best of everything Japan has to offer nestled between the Dandenong Ranges and Yarra Valley in Victoria. I love Japan. I adore onsens (natural hot springs) and tatami mats, which leave you feeling rejuvenated and fresh. The Japanese Mountain Resort has both of these traditional elements which will make you feel like you are even further away from home. The Japanese Mountain Retreat will renew you with serene gardens and blissful water features.

You don’t have to travel for miles or spend thousands of dollars for your honeymoon to be perfect. The epitome of any honeymoon is relaxing with your loved one and these retreats allow you to do so in pure luxury. The Balinese Retreat and the Japanese Mountain Retreat are a haven of serenity and bliss.
