Emily Yates’
10 Favorite Australian Honeymoon Destinations
Globetrotter, photographer & model Emily Yates shares her little black book of homegrown destinations for an unforgettable romantic getaway.


While a myriad of our favorite international destinations may be out of reach (for now), our wanderlust has never wavered, inspiring and enticing us to explore and experience the vast and majestic corners of our own home soil. Enveloped by glittering coastlines and rugged terrain, Australia is steeped in an unmatched intoxicating beauty (which we so often take for granted), making it a perfect honeymoon destination that stacks up against the rest.
With endless opportunity, we asked globetrotter and self-confessed water baby, model and photographer Emily Yates to share with us her little black book of Australian destinations for an unforgettable romantic getaway. From cosy beach shacks perched amongst hidden private bays to luxurious, once-in-a-lifetime tropical resorts, serene crystal-water islands to soulful desert-scapes, undulating coastlines and everything in between, she did not disappoint… there is a destination here for any budget, any style.


Satellite Island, Tasmania


The Little Black Shack, Great Mackerel Beach
Satellite Island, Tasmania
If you were planning on a remote Nordic Fiordland honeymoon this year, have no fear, I have you sorted. A private island, off an island, off an island, off an island – Satellite Island is the ultimate in secluded luxury. Spend the days collecting fresh oysters off the rocks and washing them down with champagne, and the nights drifting off over the water to the sound of the often bioluminescent waters lapping the open boathouse. I’m warning you though, once you come to Satellite Island, you will be plagued by a heartsickness to return year after year. I came for my 30th, and have been every year since.
