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.

Athens & the Athens Riviera: A Luxury Week in Greece
Tailor-made VacationFor years, the Athens Riviera played second fiddle to the islands. That's changing fast. The 70-kilometer stretch of coastline south of the Greek capital has quietly become one of Europe's most compelling luxury destinations, anchored by the sleek enclave of Vouliagmeni and the glamorous suburb of Glyfada. You start in Athens, where the key sites are concentrated and easily covered with the right planning.

Luxury Gay Honeymoon in Italy: Rome & Amalfi Coast
Tailor-made VacationItaly is one of the best destinations on the planet for a honeymoon. Rome comes first: four nights in a city where ancient history and exceptional restaurants occupy the same street. Then the Amalfi Coast for five nights, where the agenda shifts to boat trips, cliff-top dinners, and endless views over the Mediterranean. The itinerary runs nine nights across two bases, with private transfers connecting every stage.

Expect private transfers, carefully timed experiences, and reservations that make the difference between a good trip and a seamless one.

Emily in Paris Tour: Versailles, Champagne and the Riviera
Tailor-made VacationNine days following the show's most iconic locations, from the rooftops of Paris to the vineyards of Champagne and the glamour of the Riviera. Emily in Paris arrived on Netflix in 2020, during a period when most of the world couldn't travel anywhere, and the timing was not incidental to its success. The show offered something people were acutely missing: Paris in full color, the food, the fashion, the arguments, the light.

LGBTQ+ Cultural Tour of France: Paris, the Riviera and Provence
Tailor-made VacationSpend eight days tracing the LGBTQ+ artists, writers, and thinkers who shaped French culture, from Gertrude Stein's Paris salon to Jean Cocteau's painted chapel on the Riviera. Paris has been a refuge for gay artists and writers since the 19th century, drawn by a city that was, by the standards of the time, remarkably tolerant.

Gay Honeymoon in France
Tailor-made VacationFrance is one of the great honeymoon countries. The combination of Paris and the Côte d'Azur covers almost everything a honeymoon should be: a world-class city with great restaurants and hotels, followed by four nights on a coastline where the only real agenda is where to have lunch. Seven nights, two regions, one TGV connection. It is not a complicated itinerary, which is the point. Paris needs no hard sell.

Luxury English Country House Tour for LGBTQ+ Travelers
Tailor-made VacationThe English country house is one of the great inventions of British civilization. For three centuries these estates shaped the landscape, defined a way of life, and played host to the kind of private world that rarely made it into the history books. What did make it in tells a more interesting story than the official version suggests.

A Gay Honeymoon in Ireland: Dublin and the Wild Atlantic Way
Tailor-made VacationIreland has a legitimate claim to being the most welcoming country in the world for LGBTQ+ couples. In 2015 it became the first nation on earth to legalize same-sex marriage by popular vote, a distinction that says something meaningful about the culture rather than just the legislation. The warmth is genuine, the best hotels understand what the occasion means, and you arrive somewhere that celebrates rather than simply tolerates.

A Gay Honeymoon in Scotland: Edinburgh and the Highlands
Tailor-made VacationScotland might not be warm and sunny but it's very romantic. Edinburgh is one of Europe's most beautiful capital cities, dense with history, excellent restaurants and an LGBTQ+ scene that has been at the heart of the city for decades. The Highlands are something else entirely: ancient forest, dark lochs and mountain passes on a scale that makes most European landscapes feel modest by comparison.

A Gay Honeymoon in England: London and the Cotswolds
Tailor-made VacationEngland is an easier honeymoon than most people expect. The distances are manageable, the best hotels are exceptional, and it's very gay-friendly. What it lacks in tropical weather it makes up for in variety and culture: a world-class capital and, just ninety minutes away, some of the most beautiful countryside in Europe. Same-sex marriage has been legal since 2014, and the country's leading hotels and venues have had years to get good at it.

A Gay Honeymoon in Argentina: Buenos Aires, Wine Country and Patagonia
Tailor-made VacationArgentina is one of the few destinations that can carry a honeymoon from start to finish without compromise. You have the energy and culture of Buenos Aires, the slower rhythm of Mendoza’s wine country, and the scale of Patagonia, all within a single, well-planned journey. For gay couples, it is also one of the easiest places in Latin America to travel with confidence.
