Escape & Recharge: Men's Health Reveals the Best Australian Getaways for 2025

Let's face it, blokes. Life's busy. Between work, family, and everything else, squeezing in a holiday can feel like a monumental effort. And let's be honest, not every getaway actually leaves you feeling refreshed. You come back just as stressed, if not more so!
That's why Men's Health has put in the hard yards for you. We’ve scoured the country, from the rugged outback to the pristine coastlines, to bring you our inaugural 2025 Men's Health Travel Awards. These aren’t just about pretty scenery; they’re about finding destinations that genuinely help you disconnect, recharge, and return feeling like a new man.
Why This Matters: Beyond the Instagram Post
A true holiday isn’t about racking up likes on social media. It’s about prioritising your mental and physical wellbeing. It's about escaping the daily grind, reducing stress, and investing in your overall health. Our awards recognise the places that understand this and offer experiences tailored to help men do just that.
What We Looked For
When selecting our winners, we considered a range of factors, including:
- Adventure Opportunities: From hiking and surfing to exploring national parks and tackling challenging trails, we sought destinations offering a healthy dose of adrenaline and outdoor activity.
- Wellness & Relaxation: Because sometimes, you just need to chill. We looked for places with quality spas, yoga retreats, and opportunities for mindful relaxation.
- Local Culture & Experiences: Immersion in a new culture can be incredibly enriching. We valued destinations that offer authentic experiences and a chance to connect with the local community.
- Accessibility & Value: Let’s be real, everyone's budget is different. We considered the ease of getting there and the overall value for money.
