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.
We specialize in tailor-made luxury travel, and we cover the world. Here are some more of our top destinations.

Experience Slovenia
Tailor-made VacationSlovenia is beautiful. There's no better way to describe it. It's the only country in Europe that combines the Alps, the Mediterranean, the Pannonian Plain and the Karst.

Singapore, Bali & Lombok: A Multi-Center Indonesia Journey
Tailor-made VacationThree very different rhythms in one trip: a city that never sleeps, an island shaped by ritual, and a quieter neighbor most travelers never reach. Singapore anchors the trip's opening days, a city whose ultra-modern skyline sits alongside a genuinely multicultural identity built over generations of migration and trade. Marina Bay's futuristic gardens, the iconic Merlion, and Orchard Road's shopping district showcase the city's more contemporary side.

North Norway Tour: Tromsø, King Crab & the Arctic Snow Hotel

5 days tailor-made from $4,300 per person View trip
Northern Lights & Snowmobiling: A Tromsø Adventure
Tailor-made VacationSeven hours riding an Arctic mountainside by snowmobile is not just an afternoon activity; it is the centerpiece of the trip itself, and everything else in Tromsø exists to complement it.
4 days tailor-made from $3,100 per person View trip
Arctic Adventure: Husky Sledding & Northern Lights
Tailor-made VacationFew Arctic trips include meeting three hundred and fifty huskies before you've even touched a sled, yet this one makes an entire evening of it. Tromsø sits at nearly seventy degrees north, ringed by mountains, fjords, and islands that make the Northern Lights feel less like a rare event and more like a genuine possibility. The heart of this itinerary is learning to drive a dog-sled team properly, not simply riding as a passenger.
