Resorts and Retreats on the Mornington Peninsula

Strictly speaking, parts of this category sit adjacent to accommodation rather than inside it, but from a Peninsula trip-shaping perspective the logic is coherent: readers want the thermal, resort, or retreat-style stay that lets them disappear for a night or two without turning the trip into a generic hotel booking.

The strongest versions of that on the Peninsula cluster around Fingal and Cape Schanck, where wellness, slower pace, and enough spatial separation from the busier coastal villages combine properly.
