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.

Ultimate Luxury: French Polynesia
Tailor-made VacationThis 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.

Slow Down in Andalusia
Tailor-made VacationSeven nights at a single hillside estate, olive groves in every direction, and nowhere else on the schedule. Most Andalusia itineraries move fast: Seville, Córdoba, Granada, and Ronda, each city allotted a day or two before the next. This one does the opposite. A single week is spent based at a rural estate in the hills, with the surrounding towns treated as occasional excursions rather than a checklist.

Madrid & Chueca: A Sapphic City Break
Tailor-made VacationBeyond Chueca's rainbow crossings and crowded terraces lies a quieter world of courtyard bars, bookshops, and more, explored by LGBTQ+ travelers for decades. Chueca's main streets are well known: the rainbow-painted crossing at Pedro Zerolo, the terraces that spill onto the square outside the metro station, and the crowds that gather there most evenings, a scene that has become almost synonymous with the neighborhood's reputation.

Ibiza: Beyond the Clubs
Tailor-made VacationIbiza'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.

Marrakech & Essaouira Escape
Tailor-made VacationMorocco is unlike any other place, and nowhere makes that clearer than Marrakech: a city shaped by centuries of trade, scholarship, and craftsmanship that makes a total claim on the senses from the first moment. Essaouira, three hours west on the Atlantic coast, is its quieter counterpart: a UNESCO-listed port town where trade winds come off the sea, the ramparts are painted white and blue, and the pace drops to something close to ease.

A Luxury Journey Across Portugal & Morocco
Tailor-made VacationLisbon and Marrakech sit less than three hours apart by air, close yet distinct enough that each feels like its own trip. Ten days move from the ease and elegance of Lisbon, with its candlelit restaurants, hilltop viewpoints, and some of Europe's most architecturally distinctive boutique hotels, to the heat, color, and sensory depth of Marrakech, where one of the world's great palace hotels waits behind its ancient medina walls.

The Ultimate French Polynesia Grand Tour
Tailor-made VacationSome destinations ask you to choose one experience over another; French Polynesia does not. This sixteen-day journey moves through five islands across two archipelagos, each with its own character and pace, connected by short inter-island flights, a scenic ferry crossing, and a private boat transfer. 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.

Madeira: The Ultimate Portuguese Island Adventure
Tailor-made VacationMadeira offers terrain that few European islands can match: ancient rainforest, volcanic peaks, and dramatic cliff edges where the Atlantic drops away hundreds of meters below. With levada channels threading through landscapes that predate the ice age, it sits in a different category from most European islands. A week here covers a lot of ground and still leaves you with reasons to come back. The days move with intention.

Luxury Algarve Escape: Beaches, Wellness & Coastal Bliss
Tailor-made VacationSouthern Portugal's coastline is, by any measure, among the best in Europe. Its beaches, with golden limestone cliffs folding into coves of water that shift between jade and deep Atlantic blue, have been drawing travelers for decades, and the hotel infrastructure has kept pace: the luxury end of this market is world-class, anchored by resorts that would hold their own anywhere in the Mediterranean and then some.

Machu Picchu & the Galápagos: A Luxury Journey
Tailor-made VacationThis itinerary is built around two of the most extraordinary destinations on the planet. Machu Picchu, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, is a fifteenth-century Inca citadel set on a mountain ridge in the cloud forest at 2,430 meters above sea level, hidden from the outside world until 1911 and still capable of stopping people in their tracks.

Luxury Lesbos & Athens: In the Footsteps of Sappho
Tailor-made VacationThis itinerary pairs Athens with Lesbos, ending in Skala Eressos, the small beach town that has become one of the most important destinations for lesbian travelers anywhere in the world. It’s not just about where you go, but why you go. Athens brings the history. Lesbos brings something far more personal. Lesbos is not a typical Greek island add-on. You come here for a reason.

Machu Picchu & Iguazu Falls: Luxury Peru & Brazil Tour
Tailor-made VacationMachu Picchu and Iguazú are the two natural-and-cultural wonders that most travelers come to South America to see, and the case for putting them in the same trip is straightforward: both reward proper time, both have a single best hotel, and the long flights to either are easier to justify when you're seeing the other on the same ticket. This itinerary builds eleven days around them.

Luxury Gay Honeymoon in Brazil: Rio & Trancoso
Tailor-made VacationBrazil is one of the great honeymoon countries, and for same-sex couples it's among the most welcoming destinations anywhere in the world. Same-sex marriage has been legal nationwide since 2013, Rio hosts one of the largest Pride celebrations on the planet, and the warmth that defines Brazilian culture extends, almost without exception, to LGBTQ+ travelers.
