We are incredibly proud to announce that Freycinet Resort has been officially recognized in the prestigious Spice Hot 100 Hotels and Venues for 2026.
Being named in the Best Resort category is a significant milestone for us. While we have always aimed to provide a world-class experience on the rugged East Coast of Tasmania, seeing our name listed alongside the giants of Australian hospitality is a moment of true celebration.
Standing Tall Among Industry Icons
The Spice Hot 100 is the definitive list for travel insiders and event planners. In the 2026 rankings, Freycinet Resort was honored as a top-tier destination alongside some of the largest and most iconic names in the country, including:
- JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa
- InterContinental Hayman Island Great Barrier Reef
- Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas
- RACV Royal Pines Resort
For our boutique resort in Coles Bay to be ranked in the same category as these multi-national luxury brands highlights a growing trend in travel: the desire for intimacy, authenticity, and a deep connection to nature.
The “Hidden Gem” of the Tasmanian East Coast
Unlike the large-scale resorts of Queensland, Freycinet Resort offers a curated, “slow luxury” experience. Our inclusion in the Hot 100 validates our commitment to providing something unique—from our signature Shabu Shabu and Teishoku dining experiences to our breathtaking views of the Hazards.
This recognition comes at the perfect time as we head into our 2026 Off-Season (May – September). We are currently welcoming guests to experience our award-winning hospitality with exclusive winter dining specials and stay packages, proving that you don’t need hundreds of rooms to deliver a 5-star experience.
A Heartfelt Thank You
This achievement is a testament to our dedicated team and, most importantly, our guests. Whether you have visited us for a quiet winter retreat or a milestone celebration, you are the reason we strive for excellence.
We invite you to read the full list of winners and see why Freycinet Resort is officially one of the “hottest” destinations in Australia for 2026.
