Babymoon Ideas: Australia’s Top Destinations

Babymoons are quickly becoming a must-do for expectant parents, and for good reason!

Once bub arrives, no doubt it’s going to be a while before you can put your feet up with the promise of extreme relaxation, the opportunity to sleep-in and, of course, alone time with your significant other! So why not make the most of the time you have left in a picturesque location with white-sandy beaches, spa treatments, sunshine and a stunning view?

To help you decide on the perfect babymoon, we’ve come up with the following ‘Babymoon Ideas: Where to Go and Why?’

Whether it’s soaking up the sunshine on a secluded private beach fringed by reef, relaxing in a sunken outdoor bath overlooking the Daintree Rainforest, or watching the sunset from your luxury outback accommodation, all expectant parents deserve a chance to relax before their lives change forever.

Babymoon Idea #1: Orpheus Island Lodge

Accommodating just 28 guests, Orpheus Island Lodge is an exclusive, all-inclusive, private island lodge located on the Great Barrier Reef.

The perfect location for a babymoon, guests at Orpheus Island Lodge don’t have to venture far from their luxurious accommodation to enjoy the tropical setting. Everything you need is right at your fingertips and the attentive staff will cater to your every whim. Spend the day relaxing by the infinity pool with a mocktail and good book, drift into pure relaxation when you indulge in a beach massage under the swaying palm trees, or navigate your own motorised dinghy to a nearby private island with a gourmet picnic hamper.

Future mums will have every craving and dietary requirement adhered to by Orpheus’ team of talented chefs, preparing meals, snacks and mocktails using the freshest ingredients.

Orpheus is a much loved babymoon hotspot, having recently hosted Nadia Bartel and AFL legend Jimmy Bartel for their special babymoon before the arrival of their second baby.
