Gay-friendly Destinations

This Information was taken from our Favorite tour operator GOGO Worldwide Vacations-from their new gay and lesbian brochure.


THE CARIBBEAN: From the epicurean delights of Barbados to the white sands and endless sunshine of Aruba, whether you're traveling on honeymoon or just for some well-deserved sunshine and relaxation, there’s always a warm welcome waiting for you in the Caribbean. Though gay nightlife is low key, or sometimes not even to be found,you'll find many other divergences, and for those who must party it up a little, a long weekend in San Juan, Puerto Rico is just the ticket. Also ask about Commitment Ceremonies at some of our favorite resorts in Aruba, St. Croix and Curacao!

MEXICO: South of the Border never looked so good. Sample the sophistication of Mexico City or pay a visit to Puerto Vallarta on the Pacific Coast, Mexico’s most popular gay destination with excellent gay nightlife options. For romantics, Los Cabos at the tip of the Baja Peninsula is the perfect place to spend some quality time with your loved one. And though the gay nightlife is more low-key on Mexico's Caribbean coast, Cancun and the Riviera Maya offer beautiful beaches, turquoise blue waters,and wonderfully sophisticated resorts catering to every indulgence.

HAWAII: The Aloha spirit touches you as soon as you arrive, and it seems there is only one emotion here – happiness. Oahu offers a great selection of gay bars and nightclubs around Waikiki beach. Maui is a must for romantics, and seeing a sunrise and sunset atop of the 10,000ft Mt. Haleakala is a must for everyone. Kauai, quiet and tranquil and the most tropical of all the Hawaiian Islands, is famous for its scenery –beautiful beaches, cascading waterfalls and dramatic seaside cliffs. And with exotic black-sand beaches, pristine white-sand beaches, hidden valleys and Kilauea, the world's most active volcano, no place compares to the Big Island of Hawaii!

TAHITI: Some of the most kind, gentle, and open-minded people in the world,Polynesians are know for their warm welcome, and Tahiti is definitely a gay-friendly destination. One of the most romantic places on earth, the islands of Tahiti are a couples' paradise, with something for every traveler to be found amid the whitesand beaches, rugged mountains, colorful history, and gorgeous lagoons rife with vibrant marine life. And to make you feel even more welcome, we have special offers waiting for you, from exclusive savings, to a romantic dinner for two in Bora Bora.

EUROPE: Visit England’s green and pleasant land or sample the “joie de vivre” of Paris. Combine Athens (the Grande Bretagne is one of our favorite city hotels)with summer fun on Mykonos (Super Paradise Beach is a must), and spend a little down time sampling Amsterdam. Europe has culture, diversity, sophistication and always offers a great welcome to gay and lesbian travelers. Plus our exclusive offers – everything from room upgrades to food and beverage credits – let you know that the Old Country really is waiting for you to visit, and that you're sure to make new friends along the way!

THE USA: Take to the slopes in Aspen at the Gay Ski week in January, try your luck in Las Vegas (and of course, what happens there stays there) or live it up in Palm Springs with its great nightlife and outdoor party scene. Head to Florida and turn up the heat at one or all of the more than a dozen bars and clubs at South Beach (SoBe for short), then stop by Key West, legendary, laid back and always fun. From sun to city escapes, romantic weekends to fun trips with your friends, whatever you are looking for, here at home we have special offers for gay and lesbian travelers. Free breakfasts, resort credits, guaranteed room upgrades, two for one admissions and free couples massages are just a sample of what you'll enjoy, just for being you.
