We recommend
Trans travelers deserve the same kind of trip everyone else does. The villa with the view, the overwater bungalow, the boutique hotel with the perfect terrace for coffee at sunrise. That’s where we start, and it’s where most of the planning sits.
The destinations our trans clients book most often are also some of the most rewarding places we sell into anywhere: the Greek Islands, where Mykonos in particular has been a touchstone for LGBTQ+ travel for decades and trans visibility in the bars, beaches, and restaurants is part of the fabric of the island.
Gran Canaria, with its long-established LGBTQ+ scene in Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés, year-round sunshine, and resorts that have been hosting LGBTQ+ guests for generations. Sitges and Barcelona, where Spain’s strong legal framework and trans-affirming culture make for some of the most relaxed luxury beach trips in Europe. Thailand, where marriage equality passed in January 2025 and trans visibility has been a part of public life for far longer than the legal change. Mexico’s Puerto Vallarta and Mexico City. Cape Town. Bora Bora and the wider South Pacific, where the Polynesian concept of māhū has meant trans and gender-nonconforming people have held respected cultural roles for centuries.
Trans travel has considerations gay and lesbian travel doesn’t always share. Passport gender markers that may not match your presentation, security screening, hormone supplies through customs, hotel check-in protocols. None of this is insurmountable, but it’s the kind of thing a generalist operator won’t think to ask about, and we will. When you inquire, we’ll talk through the destinations you’re drawn to, flag anything practical worth knowing, and brief the hotels in advance where it adds value.
If there are countries we’d suggest approaching with more care, we’ll tell you, and we’ll explain why. Honesty about what trips look like on the ground is part of the service.
A decade of running LGBTQ+ luxury travel means we’ve handled most things you might want to ask about, and a few you might not have thought of yet. The goal is the same as any trip we plan: a holiday that’s properly considered, beautifully delivered, and built entirely around how you actually want to travel. Get in touch and we’ll start planning.
Suggested Transgender Vacation Trips
Trans Honeymoons and Special Occasions
Some of the most rewarding trips we plan are the ones built around a moment that matters. A wedding, an anniversary, a milestone birthday, a long-postponed honeymoon. For trans clients, those occasions often carry an additional layer of meaning, and the trips we put together reflect that.
Honeymoons are where we see the strongest demand. Overwater villas in the Maldives and Bora Bora, where private-island settings mean the resort is effectively your own world for the week. Greek island combinations that pair Mykonos with the quieter beaches of Paros or Milos. Italian itineraries that move between Lake Como, the Amalfi Coast, and Capri. South African trips that combine Cape Town and the Winelands with a few nights on safari at one of the private reserves around Kruger. We’ve planned honeymoons across most of these and know which suites, villa categories, and dining setups work best for couples wanting privacy alongside genuine luxury.
Milestone birthdays and anniversaries often take a different shape. A private villa in Tuscany or Provence with a group of close friends. A booked-out riad in Marrakech. A chartered yacht through the Greek islands or the Croatian coast. These are the trips where having a specialist matters most, because the details (who sits where at dinner, which property has the right number of bedrooms, which destinations make sense for the time of year) are what turns a special occasion into one that’s remembered properly.
For weddings themselves, we work with planners and venues across destinations where same-sex marriage is legally recognized and where the local supplier network has experience hosting LGBTQ+ ceremonies. South Africa, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, and Italy all work well in different ways, and we’ll talk you through which fits the kind of day you’re imagining.
