2nd Jun 2026
Written by: Hugo Mathers

Secluded landscapes, incredible wine, and just enough wilderness to make it feel like your own private escape, Tasmania is the ultimate spot for a romantic getaway. Whether you’re wandering hand-in-hand through Hobart’s mind-bending MONA, trekking the wild beauty of the Overland Track, or spending a lazy afternoon spotting wombats in the wild, the island sets the stage for love and adventure.

To help you score brownie points with your love for life, we've rounded up the best romantic getaways in Tasmania in 2026, featuring everything from ocean-facing hot tubs to luxurious retreats nestled in nature. You're welcome.

Coles Bay

Saffire Freycinet

Even if you’ve never stepped foot in Tassie, there’s a good chance you’re already familiar with Saffire Freycinet. Not because of the ultra-luxe suites, the oyster-shucking experiences or the fact it’s become something of a honeymoon holy grail, but because those views have done serious laps around the internet. From the moment you step into the lobby, enormous floor-to-ceiling curved windows frame the pink granite Hazards Mountains in all their wild, wind-whipped glory, immediately making you fall head-over-heels for this ridiculously beautiful neck of the woods. 

This cult-favourite resort doesn’t need rose petals scattered over the bed or cheesy couple packages to feel romantic. The scenery does all the flirting for you, with easy-going activities built in to help you make the most of it. You can wade out into Freycinet Marine Park in a pair of deeply unflattering overalls to pluck and shuck oysters straight from the sea, cruise across the blinding blue waters of Wineglass Bay, or retreat to your suite to take it all in from the tub built for two with a local drop in hand. 

Lake St Clair

Pumphouse Point

There is something deeply romantic about disappearing into the Tasmanian wilderness with few plans beyond misty morning walks, premium whisky tastings and restorative massages in the middle of century-old forests. Floating above Australia’s deepest lake, Pumphouse Point is the adults-only all-inclusive retreat built for switching off and settling in. 

The weather can be wild out here in the remote, rugged Apple Isle, but that only makes the inside feel even more inviting. Think fires crackling in converted industrial spaces, the lake shifting colour outside, and long stretches of time where the loudest sound is the kettle boiling or the wind moving across the water. 

Huon Valley

The Keep

There are romantic retreats, and then there’s The Keep. Perched high above the Huon Valley with 360-degree views of Tasmania’s rugged coastline and untouched bushland, this three-storey, one-bedroom hideaway in the clouds is custom-built for couples. 

Out here, it’s just you, your significant other and that insane vista, with the nearest town about a 40-minute drive away. This kind of solitude makes the everyday feel strangely romantic, though there’s nothing remotely ordinary about this off-grid stay. You’re welcomed with a platter of local goodies and a bottle of Tassie wine, while home-cooked meals tucked in the fridge mean you can stay wrapped up in your little love bubble without needing to leave.

Piermont Retreat have 30 years of romantic getaways under their belt (and quite a few weddings). Opt for secluded stone cottages beside the private beach. This stylish snug is a dreamy lover's escape. Cook together, snuggle up with wine by the crackling wood fire, sleep to the sigh of the waves and watch the sunrise with crumpets and coffee. When it's time to dine, Piermont's restaurant, Homestead, awaits uphill: elevated yet unpretentious, with seasonal produce, handmade pasta, and everything offered with love. You're perfectly poised to explore Freycinet National Park by day, or stay in your retreat for a swim in the pool, kayak in the bay, or just sit on the deck chairs with some good books and each other's company.
