Luxury Gay Travel in Australia 2025 & 2026

Proudly LGBTQ+ Experts and Welcoming to All Travelers


Australia has emerged as one of the world’s premier destinations for luxurious gay travel. From Sydney’s world-class LGBTQ+ scene to the rugged beauty of the Outback, Australia is one of the ultimate bucket list destinations.

Here at Out Of Office, we truly understand the world you live in, and the world you want to explore. Our attention to detail, exceptional service and deep understanding of both luxury travel and LGBTQ+ travel make us a fantastic choice for those looking for a travel experience where exclusivity meets inclusivity.

We recommend


Known for its progressive values and high standard of living, Australia is ideal for LGBTQ+ travelers. With legal protections and nationwide same-sex marriage since 2017, the country is something of a magnet for LGBTQ+ travelers who love the sun.

Sydney is one of the world’s most exciting destinations for gay travelers. As the home of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, the city has a thriving LGBTQ+ scene year-round, with neighborhoods like Darlinghurst and Surry Hills offering stylish bars, boutique hotels, and world-class restaurants. Beyond its nightlife, Sydney is a great for luxury travelers, with five-star waterfront hotels, private yacht experiences on Sydney Harbour, and exclusive beachside escapes at Bondi and Coogee. You'll also see some of the most beautiful people on the planet on Sydney's beaches.

A luxury gay vacation in Australia would not be complete without exploring its world-renowned wine regions. Visit South Australia’s Barossa and McLaren Vale wine valleys, New South Wales’ Hunter Valley, and Victoria’s Yarra Valley, where you can enjoy tastings in picturesque vineyard settings.

From hidden beaches to the expansive Outback, you can relax on the coral sands of the Whitsunday Islands, witness the sunset over the Bungle Bungles’ unique rock formations, or explore the dramatic red cliffs of the Kimberley.

At Out Of Office, we specialize in combining inclusive service with exclusive travel experiences, but you can find non-LGBTQ+ specific information on travel in Australia by visiting our Australia destination page.

Luxury Gay Vacations in Australia

With progressive laws and cosmopolitan cities, Australia has become a hugely popular gay-friendly destination. Sydney’s annual Mardi Gras celebration draws LGBTQ+ visitors from around the world with its colorful parades, A-list headliners (like Cher!), and parties. The harbor city also offers world-class museums, restaurants, and a lively gay district in Surry Hills.

Melbourne is Australia’s cultural capital and it has a sophisticated LGBTQ+ scene, particularly in Fitzroy, Collingwood, and St Kilda. The annual Midsumma Festival is one of Australia’s largest LGBTQ+ cultural celebrations, showcasing art, theatre, and community events. If you’d like to raise a glass, Melbourne’s nearby Yarra Valley wine region provides exclusive vineyard stays and excuses to drink.

Over in Brisbane, the LGBTQ+ scene is centred around Fortitude Valley, home to upscale bars, restaurants, and stylish hotels. The nearby Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast are home to stunning beaches, high-end resorts, and luxurious spa retreats.

For outdoor enthusiasts, Australia presents limitless opportunities to encounter wildlife and dramatic landscapes on your luxury gay vacation. You can dive on the Great Barrier Reef, watching sea turtles and psychedelic fish glide by. A trip to the Northern Territory allows you to explore the ancient, sacred sites of Kakadu National Park before cooling off by crocodile-spotting on the Yellow River. Or visit Tasmania, where you can hike alpine forests before relaxing in the sophisticated food and arts scene of Hobart.
