Many resorts cater specifically for couples and there’s plenty to do, if you so choose. Browse colourful boutiques, dive at nearby islands or fish for tuna and marlin. At the end of the day, nothing beats watching the sun set over the yachts in the harbour.

Swim in the Grotta Azzurra, visit the Villa San Michele for award-winning gardens, ride the chairlift up to Mount Solaro and absorb the atmosphere of quaint piazzas. As the day comes to a close, sip on limoncello at a restaurant by the sea. 

5. Hayman Island, Whitsundays

When all you want to do is relax by the pool, admire coastal views and immerse in each other, Hayman Island is the place for you. The most northerly of the Whitsundays, the mountainous island is covered with eucalypt and hoop pine, for the occasional bush walk too. The 5-star resort sits on a picture-perfect beach, with bars, a lounge, pools and exquisite restaurants.
