Welcome to San Remo
Phillip Island's bass strait gateway, San Remo is where you cross the bridge and the pace shifts immediately. Fishing boats work the channel in the mornings, and fresh-caught fish and chips on the waterfront is a local ritual worth joining. Resorts in San Remo give you a coastal base that's easy to reach from Melbourne, with the island's penguin parade, surf beaches, and wildlife reserves all close by.
How to find the best resort deal in San Remo
Our search engine is a whiz at spotting flight deals. The good news? It's just as talented at hunting down bargains on resorts. Book smarter with these money-saving tips.
Book in advance
The sooner you book, the better. You're more likely to snag a cheaper price on a resort and have a wider range of choice.
...Or bag a last-minute San Remo resort deal
Things are often more expensive in the lead-up to your stay. But in quieter periods, late bargains can still pop up when resorts have rooms left to book.
Flexible on dates? Say hello to better rates
Shifting your dates slightly can help you save when searching for cheap resorts in San Remo. Swap weekend stays for weekdays, or travel during the low season instead of peak holiday periods.
Go all-inclusive
All-inclusive resorts in San Remo make things simple by bundling drinks, meals and activities into the room rate. They're ideal if you plan to stay mostly on site and want to keep daily costs predictable. Confirm stays like this are available before you book.

When to visit San Remo
High and low season in San Remo
Summer draws the most visitors to San Remo, running from December through February. Warm weather makes it a natural base for fishing, boating, and exploring the surrounding coast. Accommodation fills up quickly over the school holiday period, so securing your stay well in advance pays off if you're visiting during those peak weeks.
Autumn and winter bring quieter conditions to San Remo, and you'll find it easier to get around without the summer crowds. Some visitor-facing services may scale back outside peak season, and the weather can be unpredictable. That said, the waterfront and natural areas are still accessible, and the area has a relaxed feel that suits a low-key getaway.
San Remo is a small destination, and community events tend to be locally organised. Your best starting point is checking with local visitor information or the regional tourism website before your trip. Accommodation hosts in the area can also be a useful source for anything happening nearby during your stay.
