Here at Out Of Office, we've mastered the art of the family trip. We know that every family is unique - and that even within that family, there are different ideas about what the perfect holiday might look like. All of our luxury itineraries are tailor-made to suit you, so our luxury travel experts will work with you to find out your exact travel aspirations when it comes to your luxury gay family holiday.
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.
Family holidays should be a fun, relaxing time to bond and make memories together. But for LGBTQ+ families, travel can come with unique challenges and considerations - something that we understand completely at Out Of Office. As a luxury travel company that knows the needs of LGBTQ+ travellers, we understand the importance of crafting holidays tailored to each family's needs and interests.
We know how hard it can be to find LGBTQ+-friendly accommodations, especially for families. We hand-pick all the family-friendly hotels and resorts that we work with to ensure they welcome all families, no matter how they're made up. No one should feel unwelcome on holiday. We handle all the awkward logistics, so you and your family can focus on spending quality time together, stress-free.
Multigenerational holidays are becoming increasingly popular, especially for milestone events like big anniversaries or birthdays. For LGBTQ+ families, it can be especially meaningful to bring together parents, grandparents, siblings, cousins and chosen family to celebrate together. We thrive when planning trips for big groups, and always work thoughtfully, considering appropriate accommodations and activities to suit all ages and abilities. We utilize our knowledge and supplier connections to secure group-friendly accommodations, exclusive dining, private drivers and luxurious experiences.

At Out Of Office, we take pride in creating amazing holidays for every family. We don’t do cookie-cutter holidays here – we understand that there is no standard formula that works for each family, and that every family is wonderfully unique – so their holiday should be too. That’s why we tailor-make all of our luxury itineraries to suit our client’s exact travel aspirations.
We embrace each individual’s needs when crafting our bespoke itineraries. Favorite activities, special diets, mobility levels, family dynamics and more influence the personalized travel experiences we build. This level of customization ensures extraordinary trips where everyone feels cared for, respected and celebrated for who they are.
Unfortunately, some destinations remain unsafe for LGBTQ+ families. We stay up-to-date on laws and social climates, and advise our clients accordingly when they’re deciding where to travel. For destinations where the customs and laws may be trickier to navigate, we help our clients by only recommending gay-friendly accommodations and tour guides. Inclusivity is key at Out Of Office – we want every family to feel comfortable being their authentic selves during their luxury holiday.
All families deserve amazing holidays tailored just for them, and we’re honored to be the trusted LGBTQ+ travel partners for those seeking luxury escapes where they feel safe, welcome and free to fully enjoy some quality time together in harmonious luxury.
Traveling as an LGBTQ+ family comes with unique documentation considerations to ensure a smooth and stress-free journey, particularly in countries where LGBTQ+ rights are not recognized. Essential documents include valid passports for every family member, parental orders or adoption certificates to establish legal guardianship, and notarized letters of consent if one parent is traveling alone with the children. It’s also critical to ensure consistency across all documents to avoid delays, and translated copies may be required in non-English-speaking destinations.
In regions with restrictive laws, presenting as a single-parent family can sometimes minimize complications, with one parent handling customs while the other takes a less visible role. It’s also vital to research local LGBTQ+ laws, have access to emergency legal contacts, and carry proof of marriage or partnership when needed. Digital backups, multiple document copies, and secure storage ensure that vital paperwork is always accessible, even in unforeseen circumstances.
For families navigating surrogacy or adoption, additional preparation is required, including carrying legal agreements and ensuring compliance with dual-citizenship requirements. LGBTQ+ advocacy networks and travel specialists like Out Of Office can offer invaluable support and advice, providing peace of mind so you can focus on creating unforgettable memories together as a family.
