Out Of Office is the world’s leading luxury LGBTQ+ travel company, designing tailor-made itineraries to the world’s most beautiful destinations. Among the most requested: the Maldives, Bora Bora, Japan, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Italy, and Greece, with the islands of Mykonos and Santorini high on the list.
The Maldives is the benchmark for tropical luxury. More than 1,000 islands scattered through the Indian Ocean, most of them ringed by lagoons in every shade of blue and reefs alive with reef sharks, manta rays, and clouds of butterflyfish.
Overwater villas, private pools, and dawn-to-dusk privacy are the standard rather than the exception. The majority of resorts welcome same-sex couples without question, and our team knows the ones that go further than that.
Bora Bora is French Polynesia at its most luxurious. Overwater bungalows look out at Mount Otemanu rising over a turquoise lagoon, with reefs to snorkel, motus to picnic on, and the kind of remoteness that makes the long flight worthwhile.
South Africa packs several holidays into one country. Cape Town’s De Waterkant and Sea Point anchor the continent’s most established LGBTQ+ scene, with the Cape Winelands of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek 45 minutes inland and the Cape Peninsula’s beaches, penguins, and dramatic coastline on the doorstep. Head north to Kruger, Sabi Sands, or the Madikwe to track the Big Five from luxury camps where the morning game drive sets the pace for the day.

Seychelles & Mauritius: Two Pearls of the Indian Ocean
Tailor-made VacationAsk most travelers to choose between the Seychelles and Mauritius, and they will hesitate. This itinerary is built to explore the best parts of both.

Mauritius Island Escape
Tailor-made VacationThis itinerary is built entirely around one island, with time to escape, explore, and immerse yourself in life on Mauritius. Where several of our Mauritius itineraries pair the island with a South African safari, this one stays put, giving guests nine full days to explore a single destination properly rather than fitting it around a longer, more demanding journey.

Mauritius Wellness & Spa Retreat
Tailor-made VacationSome travelers come to Mauritius to see the island. This retreat is for those who come to feel it, one slow, salt-scented day at a time. This itinerary is designed for travelers who want Mauritius stripped back to its most restorative elements: warm water, quiet mornings, and treatments that leave more time unaccounted for than planned.

Capitals of Central Europe: Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest

Luxury Ireland Tour: Killarney & the Beara Peninsula
Tailor-made VacationThe beauty of Killarney's lakes and the Beara Peninsula beyond them speaks for itself. Century-old grounds running to the water, ruins reachable only by kayak, and roads so remote you may not pass another car all day. This trip begins on the shore of Lough Leane, where the water is calm enough most mornings for a private kayak crossing to Innisfallen Island, home to the ruins of a seventh-century monastery reachable no other way.
