Hotels in Dromana

Dromana sits on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, a beach town that swells hugely in summer and goes quiet the rest of the year. The main drawcard is the sweeping bay beach and the Arthurs Seat chairlift just behind town, which gives views back across Port Phillip Bay towards Melbourne on a clear day. It's also a natural base for exploring the peninsula's wineries and the Peninsula Hot Springs, both a short drive inland.

Dromana itself is a small strip of shops and takeaways rather than a destination in its own right, and outside the January rush a lot of it can feel sleepy and closed early. With around 5,651 residents, the town relies on tourist turnover, so book ahead for summer weekends when the whole peninsula fills up. Stay along the beachfront strip for direct sand access and morning light over the water, rather than inland near the highway.
