We recommend
Out Of Office specialises in luxury lesbian honeymoons and weddings, and we know from experience that planning this trip involves a layer of research that other couples simply don’t have to do. Which destinations are genuinely welcoming. Which hotels will treat you as a couple from the moment you arrive. Where you can relax completely, without having to think twice about it.
The good news is that the options are extraordinary and growing all the time. There are exceptional lesbian honeymoon destinations on every continent, including places you might not immediately think of, and we know them well.
We understand that travelling as a woman comes with its own considerations, and that identifying as LGBTQ+ adds another dimension to that. Our job is to make sure none of it gets in the way of the trip you deserve. Every destination and property we recommend has been vetted by our team, and we only work with hotels that share our values.
Our specialists have planned lesbian honeymoons across the world, from hiking in the Peruvian Andes to overwater villas in the Maldives to long, slow weeks in the Italian countryside. We know that no two couples travel the same way, which is why every itinerary we build is completely bespoke. We handle the flights, hotels, private drivers, restaurant reservations, and experiences, as well as the smaller details that make a honeymoon feel genuinely special rather than just well-organised.
If you want to combine your wedding and honeymoon in one trip, we can arrange that too, whether that means a beach ceremony in Bora Bora or something more intimate elsewhere.
Tell us what your ideal honeymoon looks like. We’ll take it from there.
Best Lesbian Honeymoons Packages
Choosing a Lesbian Honeymoon in Europe
Greece: Mykonos, Santorini and Lesbos
Greece gives you almost every version of a Mediterranean honeymoon in one country. Mykonos is the glamorous favorite, with beach clubs, stylish hotels and a long-established LGBTQ+ scene, while Santorini brings the caldera views, private terraces and slower evenings that people picture when they think of a Greek honeymoon.
For lesbian travelers, Lesbos adds something completely different. The island is the birthplace of Sappho, whose poetry gave us the word “lesbian,” and the village of Skala Eressos has become a pilgrimage site for lesbian women from around the world. Combining Lesbos with Athens, Mykonos or Santorini creates a honeymoon that feels both luxurious and directly connected to lesbian history.
Italy: Cities, Villas and the Coast
Italy is ideal if you want a honeymoon with several distinct chapters. Start with art, history and rooftop dinners in Rome or Florence, slow the pace at a private villa in Tuscany, then finish beside the sea on the Amalfi Coast, in Sicily or along the Italian Riviera.
The real luxury is how easy it is to make the trip feel personal. Think private wine tastings, long lunches in the countryside, boat days along the coast and historic hotels.
France: Paris, Provence and the Riviera
France gives you one of the easiest honeymoon combinations in Europe. Begin in Paris with grand hotels, galleries, neighborhood restaurants and evenings along the Seine, then travel south for something completely different.
Provence is all vineyard estates, market towns and long lunches under the sun, while the French Riviera brings beach clubs, private boats and the glamour of Nice, Cannes and Saint-Tropez.

How to Combine Your Gay Wedding and Honeymoon in Thailand
Thailand became the first Southeast Asian country and the third in Asia, after Taiwan and Nepal, to legalise same-sex marriage. The law was officially signed by King Maha Vajiralongkorn and came into effect on January 23, 2025. On the first day of legalisation, over 1,800 same-sex couples registered their marriages across the country, with more than 200 couples participating in a mass wedding ceremony in Bangkok.

Blue Is the Warmest Colour Filming Locations in France
"Blue is a warm colour" - this phrase resonates differently after experiencing Abdellatif Kechiche's masterpiece. In 2013, "Blue Is the Warmest Colour" (La Vie d'Adèle : Chapitres 1 & 2) won the Palme d'Or at Cannes and forever etched in our memories the passionate love story between Adèle and Emma.
ReadBest Long-Haul Lesbian Honeymoons
French Polynesia: Bora Bora, Moorea and the South Pacific Dream
French Polynesia is the classic once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, but it is worth seeing more than one island. Start on Moorea, where volcanic peaks rise behind lagoons and days can be spent snorkeling, hiking or exploring by boat, before finishing in Bora Bora with the full overwater-villa experience.
For lesbian couples, choosing the right resort matters as much as choosing the island. We work with properties where same-sex honeymooners are welcomed as honeymooners from the moment they arrive, whether that means a private plunge pool, dinner beside the lagoon or several days when leaving the villa feels entirely optional.
Japan: Tokyo, Kyoto and a Ryokan for Two
Japan is a brilliant honeymoon for couples who would rather collect experiences than spend two weeks beside the same pool. Tokyo brings extraordinary restaurants, futuristic neighborhoods and design hotels, while Kyoto slows everything down with temples, gardens and traditional streets.
The part we would not skip is a stay in a ryokan or onsen town. A few nights in the mountains, sleeping on tatami, eating a multi-course kaiseki dinner and soaking after a day of exploring gives the honeymoon a completely different pace.
South Africa and Mauritius: Safari First, Beach Second
Few honeymoon combinations deliver as much contrast as South Africa and Mauritius. Begin in Cape Town with great restaurants, coastline and the Winelands, then head into the bush for a luxury safari where mornings start with game drives and evenings end around the fire.
After the adventure, fly to Mauritius. Spend the final chapter at a beachfront resort with warm Indian Ocean water, spa days and nowhere you need to be. It gives you two completely different honeymoons in one trip, with the energy and wildlife of South Africa followed by a tropical escape.

Kinosaki Onsen: Japan’s Most Romantic Town for Gay Couples
Most couples who plan a Japan honeymoon spend a long time deliberating between Tokyo and Kyoto, then add Hakone as an onsen option because it appears on every list. Kinosaki Onsen, a small town on the Sea of Japan coast in Hyogo Prefecture, appears on almost none of them. That oversight is worth correcting.

Best Long-Haul Destinations for LGBTQ+ Families
A long-haul family trip is about more than a change of scenery. It is the chance to share experiences that stay with children long after they return home: watching elephants gather at a waterhole, snorkelling above a coral reef, exploring ancient temples, taking a helicopter over glaciers, or discovering a new culture together for the first time. For LGBTQ+ families, the world is full of destinations where adventure, comfort, and connection come together.
ReadHow We Plan Your Lesbian Honeymoon
A honeymoon should feel like your dream vacation, not a standard itinerary.
We start with how you actually want to travel. That might mean a private villa in Tuscany, an overwater bungalow in Bora Bora, a ryokan in Japan, or a safari followed by a week on the beach. Some couples want every detail arranged. Others want plenty of space to disappear for the afternoon and make plans as they go.
Hotels That Get the Details Right
The right hotel should recognize that you are on your honeymoon without you having to explain it twice. We choose properties we know and trust, with the level of service, privacy and welcome we expect for our clients.
That can mean everything from making sure the room is set up correctly to arranging a private dinner, a special arrival, a room with the right view or a few days somewhere completely secluded.
LGBTQ+ Knowledge Built Into the Trip
Traveling as a lesbian couple can involve questions that other honeymooners never have to consider. We look at the destination, hotel and local partners together, so you know what to expect before you arrive.
Our job is not to make LGBTQ+ travel feel complicated. It is to use our experience behind the scenes so that, once you are there, you can concentrate on the honeymoon itself.
Every Detail, From First Flight to Final Dinner
We can arrange flights, private transfers, hotels, guides, restaurant reservations and experiences, then bring everything together into one itinerary.
If you are combining a wedding and honeymoon, or planning a more complicated multi-country trip, we can handle that too. You will have one dedicated travel expert throughout, with support before you leave and while you are away.

Why Gay Couples Keep Coming Back to French Polynesia
French Polynesia sits in the middle of the South Pacific, further from anywhere than most people ever travel, and rewards the journey with lagoons, overwater villas, and a quality of light on the water that people who have been here struggle to adequately describe to people who have not. It also operates under French law, which means same-sex relationships have never been criminalised, anti-discrimination protections are in place, and same-sex civil partnerships are recognised.

Is the Maldives Safe for a Gay Honeymoon?
The question comes up on almost every enquiry. A same-sex couple, newly engaged, has been dreaming of the Maldives for years. Overwater villa, Indian Ocean, the whole picture. Then they do some research and find that homosexuality is technically illegal under Maldivian law. They come back to us uncertain, sometimes alarmed, and wondering whether they should be looking at the Maldives at all.

Luxury Italy Tour: Lake Como, Tuscany, & Amalfi
Tailor-made HolidayThis fully customisable itinerary moves through four of Italy's most distinctive regions, Lake Como's lakeside villas, Tuscany's vineyard hills, Rome's history, and the Amalfi Coast's cliffside towns, each with its own character. Expect regional wine, Michelin-starred dining, and produce sourced from wherever you happen to be standing, along with stays in a palazzo, a private villa, and two of the country's most established hotels.

Bora Bora Snorkelling & Reef Trip
Tailor-made HolidayYour journey begins on Mo'orea, where a turquoise lagoon shelters black tip reef sharks, turtles, and stingrays within easy reach of the shore. From there, you continue to Bora Bora, where Mount Otemanu rises over a lagoon best seen from a private catamaran, glass of champagne in hand. The route continues to Rangiroa, the second-largest atoll on Earth, where the pink-tinged sands of Vahituri catch the afternoon light.

Secluded Tahiti & Rangiroa Tour
Tailor-made HolidayThis itinerary moves through three of French Polynesia's quieter islands, each reached only by boat or short inter-island flight, and each rarely appearing on a first-time visitor's itinerary. It suits travellers who have already done Bora Bora, or who would rather skip it, in favour of a slower, less-photographed route through French Polynesia. The journey begins on Tahiti, where volcanic peaks meet a coastline still shaped by the island's original Polynesian settlements.

Ultimate Luxury: French Polynesia
Tailor-made HolidayThis itinerary is built around the highest tier of accommodation French Polynesia has to offer, and around the freedom to move between islands without waiting on ferry schedules. Private planes and helicopters cover the inter-island transfers, which on an itinerary spanning several atolls saves real time otherwise lost to inter-island logistics. The islands themselves remain the point.

Gay Honeymoon in Bora Bora: Tahiti, Taha’a & More
Tailor-made HolidayBora Bora is the honeymoon most couples picture when they imagine French Polynesia: overwater bungalows suspended above a lagoon that shifts through every shade of blue, Mount Otemanu rising behind it, and a level of privacy that has made the island one of the most reliably LGBTQ+ welcoming honeymoon destinations anywhere in the South Pacific.

Mauritius: The Out Of Office Collection
Tailor-made HolidayMauritius is one of the LGBTQ+-friendly pearls of the Indian Ocean. Unlike its Indian Ocean neighbour the Maldives, Mauritius is comprised of a single island. Mauritius is considered a superb beach destination, especially on the north side of the island, where the longest stretch of beaches can be found. Our favourite beach in Mauritius is Belle Mare Plage, a peaceful and palm-lined shore with powder-white sands.

The Southern Maldives: Pullman Maamutaa & Park Hyatt Hadahaa
Tailor-made HolidayThe Southern Maldives operates on a different scale from the atolls clustered near Malé. Gaafu Alifu, where both properties sit, is roughly five to six hours away by speedboat, or a shorter domestic flight followed by a transfer, and that distance does the real work of keeping the atoll quiet. It filters out day-trippers, leaving reefs with far less traffic than the more accessible northern resorts.

Barefoot Luxury: Six Senses Laamu & Gili Lankanfushi
Tailor-made HolidayEnjoy an unforgettable journey to the heart of the Indian Ocean with a luxury holiday in the Maldives, where the concepts of barefoot luxury and sustainable elegance are redefined.

The Best of Malé: Waldorf Astoria & Reethi Rah
