With tropical vibes, low humidity and a great beachfront atmosphere full of chilled locals…Here’s why Darwin is the most relaxed city in Australia.

Darwin was recently voted as one of the most relaxed cities in Australia. This tropical city is the capital of the Northern Territory and the gateway to some of Australia’s most exciting activities, especially if you’re looking for eye-popping wildlife and red-tinged sunsets.

But it’s also a great place to chill out, relax and unwind.

It becomes a launchpad for so many other locations, and popular spots are Darwin:

• The Tiwi Islands
• Litchfield National Park
• Crocodiles and Wildlife
• Mataranka Hot Springs

The easy breezy Darwin weather…

The humidity in Darwin is relatively low, and the nights can be cool and breezy. What a perfect combo! As a beach town, Darwin has a great balance of tropical beach vibe alongside chalky desert parks.

Even when it’s stormy, you’re in for a show. The electric storms are impressive, with thundery electric storms that’ll keep your eyes glued to the sky.

Markets

There’s a great vibe around the markets of Darwin, which comes alive at night. The city is filled with various markets where vendors offer a wide range of delicious foods and souvenirs waiting to be purchased.

The Mindil Beach Markets are a clear favourite with locals and tourists alike.

Global Cuisine

Take your taste buds on a trip around the world, with global food that packs plenty of flavour. Snack on samosas, sip on wine and munch on some fresh bruschetta – or dine in style on the beach with Darwin’s most famous 5* dining experience, at Pee-Wee’s.

Bustling bars

Beachfront bars are everywhere along the front of Darwin! The bar scene is just as relaxed as the people! Take a stroll along the waterfront, and you’ll find beachside pubs, chilled-out lounges, and open-air venues.

Sip on cocktails and relax amongst the open-air venues that are perfect for a sundown drink. Darwin’s nightlife is friendly, easygoing and effortlessly cool.
