Phuket vs Koh Samui: Which Thai Island Is Better for Gay Travellers?
Thailand sits comfortably near the top of the list when it comes to LGBTQ+-friendly destinations in Asia. Same-sex couples travel here without the legal concerns that apply to much of the region, and the broader Thai culture is relaxed and non-judgmental in a way that translates into genuine ease on the ground.

Cycling to Anse Source d’Argent, La Digue
Anse Source d'Argent, La Digue La Digue is small enough that bicycles are the standard way to get around, and the ride to Anse Source d'Argent is the best argument for that. The island sits about a 15-minute ferry ride from Praslin. Leaving the Jetty Bike hire is available near the ferry jetty.

Sri Lanka or the Maldives First? How to Split a Two-Week Trip
Sri Lanka and the Maldives sit close enough together that combining them has become one of the most popular ways to build a longer Indian Ocean trip. The question that comes up almost every time is less about whether to combine them and more about which one to do first. The honest answer depends on what kind of trip you are building, but there is a clear logic to each order.

Dubrovnik, Mostar & Kotor: A Balkans Coastal Discovery
Tailor-made HolidayThree countries, three very different histories, and barely three hours of driving between any of them. This itinerary treats Dubrovnik as a base rather than a single stop, using it to reach two neighbouring countries most travellers never quite make time for. A day trip crosses into Bosnia and Herzegovina to reach Mostar, a city defined by its 16th-century Ottoman bridge and a history of destruction and rebuilding still visible at every turn.

Escape to Fiji with Family: Five-Star Comfort for Every Age
Tailor-made HolidayA family trip to Fiji means stepping into a culture that already centres on children, not a resort pretending to. Families who holiday here tend to come back talking about how quickly the resort learned their children's names, not just their room number: a kids' club counsellor who knew which child liked which game by the second day and a waiter who started bringing the right order without being asked.

Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Adventure: Surf, Coasteering & Cliffs
Tailor-made HolidayIreland's wildest coastline runs for more than a thousand miles, from the sea stacks and cliffs of Donegal down through Sligo and Mayo to the limestone shelves of County Clare, a landscape shaped by Atlantic swell, sheer rock, and light that shifts by the hour.

Ibiza: Beyond the Clubs
Tailor-made HolidayIbiza's reputation was built on its clubs, but its most exclusive addresses have always been in the hills, well away from the partying. Ibiza became a prominent LGBTQ+ destination decades before the superclubs arrived, drawing artists, writers, and a bohemian community to the island's interior through the 1960s and 1970s. That history has been steadily overshadowed by the island's later reputation as Europe's party capital, and this itinerary is built to recover it.

The Ultimate French Polynesia Grand Tour
Tailor-made HolidaySome destinations ask you to choose one experience over another; French Polynesia does not.

You will begin in Tahiti, the territory's cultural and geographic heart, before crossing the Sea of the Moon to Moorea, where jagged volcanic peaks rise directly behind the lagoon.

Madrid & Barcelona: A Tale of Two Capitals
Tailor-made HolidayTwo capitals, deliberately contrasted rather than conveniently combined: coastal Catalonia against the Castilian court, a week apart. Barcelona and Madrid are frequently paired for convenience; both boast awe-inspiring architecture and a direct transport link of under three hours. This itinerary treats the Spanish pairing as a contrast rather than a checklist: Barcelona is coastal, Catalan, and shaped by Modernisme, while Madrid is landlocked, Castilian, and shaped by empire and the Habsburg court.
