The USA is a vast country and many people choose to vacation or even staycation in the USA. The United States stretches from the Arctic vastness of Alaska to the border of Mexico. You can experience just about any climate and landscape on a staycation in the USA. From the bright lights of New York to dude ranches in Colorado, the options for a vacation or staycation in the USA are endless.
Some of our favorite USA staycation experiences can be found slightly off the beaten path. There are so many luxury boutique properties in amazing destinations ranging from Tucson to Santa Barbara. California alone is home to a wide array of excellent vacation and staycation options. You can maximise your trip with a twin-centre itinerary, combining a big city with a smaller destination, such as Boston and Provincetown or LA and Palm Springs. You could, of course, live out the Hollywood fantasy and set out on a great American road trip and if you are recently married then we've got plenty of great ideas for a gay honeymoon in the USA.
Provincetown is the best small-town destination for gay travellers in the USA. It’s long been hailed as one of the most liberal towns in the country, and it’s a big draw for artists and bohemians: gay-popular hotspots tend to begin...

Provincetown is a perennial favorite for a USA staycation, especially for LGBT travelers. It’s a small town in Massachusetts on the tip of Cape Cod. It’s a great year-round destination but it’s especially popular in peak season – the gay bars will be packed. Provincetown is full of boutique hotels and B&Bs. Its permanent population is very small – roughly 3000. Peak season runs from May till October. Provincetown is a great destination to combine with Boston.
If you’d like to explore the south, New Orleans is a great option. It could well be America’s most enigmatic city. It’s the home of Mardi Gras, voodoo and jazz. New Orleans has long been a popular spot for a USA staycation. It also has a big gay scene, not to mention a famous music scene. From New Orleans, you can explore other famous destinations in the south, like Memphis and Nashville.
Supposing you’d like to bask in the sun, combining Fort Lauderdale with Miami is a great choice. Both cities enjoy year-round warm weather. They have great beaches, great nightlife and big gay scenes.
For an all-American staycation experience, you could head to a dude ranch. Yes, find that frontier spirit and try horseback riding, fly fishing, clay shooting and white water rafting down the Colorado River. You can also explore Colorado’s Wine Country before you head to the ranch.
Supposing you’d like to get out of the big city, San Ysidro Ranch is located in Montecito, Santa Barbra. It’s considered to be one of the best luxury retreats in the USA. Oprah lives down the road. JFK and Jackie had their honeymoon here, so it’s great for a romantic trip.
If you’re looking for a real adventure, you could consider a self-drive through the cities and valleys of the great American West. You’ll begin in Las Vegas before heading along Route 66 to many great destinations, including the Grand Canyon, Utah, Yosemite and San Francisco.
