This was my first Out Adventures experience, and it exceeded all expectations. The team, the boat we were on, the places we visited, and the other travelers were all just wonderful. I would highly recommend Out Adventures!

Once in a lifetime adventure

Once in a lifetime adventure everyone should experience, surrounded by a great group of people. Outstanding organization and communication from the Out Adventures representatives so there was nothing I had to worry about once the trip was booked.

5 conseils pour ses premières vacances gays en solo

Cette année, vous avez décidé de partir seul. Vos amis étaient coincés par des obligations professionnelles ou n’avaient pas envie de partir à l’étranger. Vous avez pris votre billet et réservé votre hôtel. Voici 5 conseils pour que vos vacances seul soient inoubliables.

partir seul en vacances gay

Tout le monde s’accorde sur le fait que les vacances de 2021 sont des vacances à part. L’immense majorité des gens a décidé de partir en France, ou en Europe pour le reste… Vous vous êtes retrouvé devant un dilemme : partir seul ou retourner avec des potes là où vous avez déjà séjourné de nombreuses fois. Vous vous êtes dit que c’était l’occasion ou jamais, de partir en solo. Vous n’êtes pas le premier et certainement pas le dernier. Pourquoi pas, mais comment faire pour passer d’excellentes vacances et ne pas s’ennuyer parce qu’on est seul ?

Localisez-vous !

Ne mentez-pas : la première chose qu’on fait quand on a posé sa valise dans sa chambre de vacances (voire à la gare ou à l’aéroport même !), c’est de se connecter sur son application de rencontres . Si vous avez choisi une destination prisée par les gays, vous n’aurez plus l’impression d’être seul. Vous pourrez dès le premier jour rechercher des mecs avec qui faire connaissance et partager des moments sympas. Petit conseil qui a l’air un peu ringard en 2021 : trouvez-vous une carte et demandez à la réception qu’on vous indique les attractions. Ils le font assez facilement et c’est incroyable le nombre de réceptionnistes gays dans le monde ! Et hop, un premier pote gay…

Laissez votre timidité à l’hôtel…

En vacances, on ose tout et surtout, on n’a pas peur du ridicule. Personne que vous connaissez, ne vous jugera. Que ce soit pour votre niveau d’anglais approximatif ou pour votre 8e râteau de la journée. Personne ne sourira sarcastiquement en regardant votre tee-shirt Mylène Farmer parce que tout le monde en a un ou parce que personne ne la connaît… Et si vous embarquez quand même votre timidité avec vous, ne la laissez pas prendre le dessus et osez. « On n’a qu’une vie » est particulièrement bien adapté à ceux qui partent en vacances en solo. De toute façon, au retour, vous exagèrerez vos aventures… Comme tout le monde !

Optez pour les établissements blindés.

Quand on ne connaît pas une ville, un quartier ou un endroit, on fait confiance à la foule. Si vous passez devant un restaurant vide, c’est qu’il y a peut-être une raison… De la même façon, quand, vous entrez dans un bar et que le serveur est en train de jouer sur son smartphone, fuyez ! C’est très mauvais signe. Les gays en vacances ont l’habitude de se regrouper. Bien entendu, ce conseil est valable uniquement si vous avez intégré les horaires locaux. Se pointer dans une boite de nuit en Espagne à minuit et se plaindre parce qu’il n’y a personne, vous passerez pour la greluche de service…

Ne vous isolez pas trop sur la plage…

Les gays à la plage , c’est comme une meute d’animaux autour d’un point d’eau. Ils se collent les uns aux autres. Si vous voyagez solo, nous vous conseillons de ne pas trop vous éloigner de la meute. D’une part, ce sera plus facile pour envisager une discussion avec un voisin. Et d’autre part (c’est peut-être le plus important), si vous avez l’intention d’aller faire des galipettes dans les dunes, vous n’aurez pas tous les regards de la meute se tourner sur vous d’un seul coup. Ça peut être gênant…

Assurez vos arrières !

On n’y pense pas forcément avant de partir en vacances seul, mais quand vous êtes accompagné, il y a toujours quelqu’un pour vous dire « Stop » si vous abusez un peu. Là, vous êtes vraiment seul. Faites attention ! Par exemple, vous n’êtes pas obligé de sortir systématiquement avec votre Carte Bleue. Un conseil en passant : vous pouvez retourner dans votre chambre après le restaurant du soir, histoire de vous rafraichir un peu et histoire aussi de laisser votre CB au coffre. Et rappelez-vous, si votre nouvel ami, le réceptionniste, vous déconseille d’aller dans un endroit, c’est que certains ont peut-être vécu des mésaventures…

Bon, on vous laisse et on se retrouve à la rentrée pour une soirée photo ?

Tips for Solo LGBTQ+ Travelers

Whether you don’t have friends who can accompany you on a trip or prefer to travel alone, traveling solo is a great way to experience the world.

voyage solo gay

Although there are always things to consider when traveling alone, if you’re vacationing solo while being part of the LGBTQ+ community, there’s more to consider to ensure a fabulous and safe experience.

Are you an LGBTQ+ traveler planning a solo trip?

Keep reading for travel tips to ensure you have the best time during your stay without worrying about traveling alone.

Stay at LGBTQ+-focused Properties

Not only can you ensure a safe travel experience as a solo traveler by booking with properties that cater to the queer community, but you can also connect with other LGBTQ+ travelers. Your safety is a top priority, and LGBTQ+-friendly resorts and hotels understand that. If price is a concern, look for LGBTQ+-friendly hostels. They’re an affordable option for traveling alone and are another great opportunity to connect with other queer travelers if interested.

Do an LGBTQ+ Tour

voyage solo gay

One of the most popular ways for LGBTQ+ travelers to explore the world without a travel companion is to book an LGBTQ+ tour. Rainbow Getaways recommends Vacaya and Atlantis Events for gay men and Olivia Cruises for lesbian women. While these cater to specific niches within our community, they are a fantastic way to travel without going out alone.

These tours usually have a single supplement, but finding a roommate in Facebook groups is easy. This helps save money, and you'll have someone to experience your vacation with.

Stay in Gayborhoods

Research your destination city to find the gayborhoods. While tourist areas are often LGBTQ+-friendly, nothing beats staying in the heart of where the local queer community lives. Not only are you likely to find queer-owned accommodations, but you will be surrounded by bars, restaurants, and shops that cater to the queer locals. This will make it easier for you to blend in and give you a better opportunity to connect with other LGBTQ+ people during your travels.

Share Your Itinerary

voyage solo gay

When you’re traveling alone, make sure you’re in regular contact with friends and family back home so they know that you’re safe and where they can expect to hear from you next. Sharing your itinerary and your phone's location with your loved ones back home can also give you peace of mind knowing that you’re not truly alone on this journey.

Be Mindful of Using Apps

In a previous post, we discussed tips for using the apps while traveling . While the apps are great for meeting new friends or for something more, make sure you’re prepared before you open them and start swiping.

Know the laws of your destination ahead of time and give yourselves some anonymity by nixing the face pics from your profile until you’re ready to meet up. Regardless of whose hosting, meet somewhere in public first to reduce any risk, and make sure you know your resort’s guest policy before you bring someone back to your room.

Bring Personal Protection

When you’re traveling alone, having a form of personal protection, such as pepper spray, can give you an added layer of safety during your travels. According to TSA , one 4 fl. Oz container of mace or pepper spray is permitted in checked baggage (provided it’s equipped with a safety mechanism to prevent accidental discharge) but not in a carry-on. If you’re traveling light, research your destination about the laws surrounding purchasing mace or pepper spray.

Also, it’s best to bring your own condoms if you plan to hook up while traveling. You don’t want to bring any unexpected souvenirs home.

If you want more information about traveling solo when you’re LGBTQ+, schedule a consultation with Rainbow Getaways , and we’ll help you with everything you need to know.

Rainbow Getaways proudly helps travelers of the LGBTQ community (and our allies) research, plan, and book incredible vacations where you feel confident and comfortable enjoying and exploring your destination. We plan each vacation to meet your specific needs, so you'll have an experience just as unique as you.

Embark on an all-gay or LGBTQ-friendly cruise for excellent entertainment, food and excursions.

Whether you are looking to hop aboard a Pride Week cruise with a major line or sail away with a smaller company that specializes in LGBTQ voyages, the following cruise operators promise a fun, safe and memorable vacation.

(Note: While many of these cruise lines sail to LGBTQ-friendly ports of call, travelers should research destinations to learn more about cultures, customs and safety in each location and determine what's right for them.)

Founded by avid travelers Randle Roper, Patrick Gunn and John Finen, VACAYA bills itself as the first all-LGBT travel company in the full-ship charter/resort buyout sector of the travel industry to launch in more than 25 years.

"[VACAYA] was sparked by our own vacations, where we all had encountered two very different experiences," says Gunn. "The all-gay cruises were liberating, empowering and fun, but limited to a small spectrum of people. And while everyone loves a good time, there's more to a memorable vacation than just parties. Mainstream vacations offered more activities and destinations, and were accessible to a diverse set of people, but didn't always feel like a friendly, judgment-free environment."

As such, VACAYA set out to bring LGBTQ travelers from across the spectrum together in a welcoming, inclusive setting, while offering varied onboard activities and immersive itinerary options. Cruisers will enjoy traveling to ports around the world, in the Caribbean , the Galápagos, Europe , Antarctica and more. You can participate in shipwide events ranging from themed deck parties to performances by LGBTQ entertainers to rejuvenating yoga classes. Note that VACAYA's cruises are for adults only.

Previous cruisers had abundant praise for VACAYA's voyages, highlighting the company's responsiveness when booking and the kindhearted staff, as well as the genuine connections they made with other passengers on board. Many were also impressed by the events and entertainment options throughout their sailings.

In 2024, VACAYA will offer a number of voyages worldwide. The seven-night Caribbean Cruise on Celebrity Apex in February will sail round-trip from Fort Lauderdale, with several fun-filled days at sea in addition to stops in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Antigua. In August, VACAYA has a 12-night river cruise in Northern Europe on board Advance by Transcend Cruises; this sailing includes the Amsterdam Pride event. The 11-night Antarctica expedition on Atlas Ocean Voyages' World Navigator in December 2024 is sold out, but you can join the waitlist.

The Virgin brand has long been known for its celebration of the LGBTQ community, and cruise line Virgin Voyages is no different. The strictly adults-only cruise operator aims to provide a unique experience, with onboard tattoo parlors, impressive live entertainment, and dining options that include more than 20 eateries and menus created by Michelin star chefs. This line gets the stamp of approval from previous LGBTQ cruisers, who praise the ships' gender-neutral bathrooms, diverse staff and onboard shows with resident drag queens.

Virgin Voyages offers gay-specific sailings through travel companies like Atlantis Events, but its more mainstream itineraries still offer a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere that attracts LGBTQ cruisers year-round. Virgin hosts a number of events during Pride Month each year, including deck parties and interactive social media campaigns.

"Each June here at Virgin Voyages, we like to go big for Pride Month with larger-than-life events … all monthlong," the cruise line says in a statement on its website. "It's an important time for us – both internally within our crew and for our sailors – to honor and celebrate the LGBTQ community; who for so long has had to continually fight for equality and the right to be seen, heard and included."

Virgin Voyages sails to a variety of LGBTQ-friendly countries, including New Zealand, Greece and Spain. In June 2024, consider a seven-night sailing aboard Scarlet Lady departing from Barcelona with stops in Marseille and Cannes in France as well as Spain's Palma de Mallorca and Ibiza.

The world's largest gay and lesbian travel brand, Atlantis Events was founded in 1991 and welcomes more than 20,000 travelers annually on LGBTQ vacations. For its all-gay cruises, Atlantis charters megaships from popular lines like Royal Caribbean International , Norwegian Cruise Line and Virgin Voyages in addition to smaller vessels with companies like Oceania Cruises so cruisers will have a fully immersive experience.

On board, travelers can enjoy all the perks these ships have to offer (think: pools, hot tubs, sports courts and plenty of dining choices), plus special events like drag performances, motivational speakers, LGBTQ movies on demand in each cabin and high-energy circuit parties across the ship.

"As an LGBTQ cruiser, you're looking for a ship with lots of entertainment, including dance parties and events," says Marcos Martinez, founder of Men Who Brunch, a Black gay lifestyle blog. "One of the best cruise [lines] for gay cruising is Atlantis, since you'll be able to meet hundreds of attractive men and party all day and night on the ship."

Atlantis hosts primarily gay men; women make up about 5% to 10% of bookings, according to the Atlantis website. Previous cruisers said the atmosphere on board was fun, friendly and welcoming, though some noted that the company's customer service could be better, especially when it comes to details about the cruise.

Due to the company's popularity, its three 2024 cruises are already sold out.

Travelers on an all-gay cruise with Brand g Vacations pose in front of the Taj Mahal

Specializing in all-gay river cruises – and now luxury ocean liners – Brand g Vacations was founded in 2011 and explores destinations all over the world. Chartered river cruises typically welcome between 40 and 200 LGBTQ passengers (and their straight allies), which allows cruisers to get to know one another in a smaller setting. Guests tend to skew more mature (think: 40 and older), and the line attracts both men and women.

Onboard entertainment differs slightly from larger ocean voyages: Expect more cabaret-style entertainment than massive all-night dance parties. Cruisers will also enjoy performances by drag queens, gay Broadway stars and more, on top of typical river cruise perks like sightseeing and lavish meals. Past guests recommend choosing Brand g if you're looking for a well-planned, relaxed and luxurious experience over a busier, more party-heavy vacation.

Brand g aims to provide a nearly all-inclusive cruise experience , with Mercedes or small van airport transfers, upscale hotel stays prior to embarkation, and unlimited alcoholic beverages as well as meals included in the fare. As such, prices tend to be on the high end. Plus, cruisers can feel good about their trip knowing that Brand g donates to causes in the U.S. and around the world that assist LGBTQ refugees, AIDS organizations, LGBTQ centers and more.

In 2024, Brand g sails through unique waterways around the world, including the Amazon, the Loire, the Danube, the Mekong, and the Columbia and Snake rivers in the Pacific Northwest. The line's small cruise ship charters also take guests to Iceland, Spain, Morocco, Italy, Croatia and other European destinations.

Celebrity Cruises sets the scene for an excellent vacation for gay travelers, from its extravagant annual Pride parties to its daily LGBTQ programming throughout the year. The mainstream line has received numerous awards for its inclusivity, receiving accolades from the Cruizie Awards, TTG Travel Awards and Travel Weekly's Magellan Awards for being one of the best cruise lines for LGBTQ passengers.

LGBTQ cruisers can start their vacations off on a high note with a special welcome party on the first night of their voyage to meet other travelers on board. After night one, there are other social events for gay cruisers to party and hang out together. Additionally, Celebrity Cruises was the first cruise line to legally marry a couple at sea in 2018, and it continues to perform same-sex marriages on its ships.

Past cruisers enjoyed their voyages with Celebrity, noting that the line was welcoming, the food was delicious, and there were plenty of areas to hang out as a group with fellow LGBTQ passengers or other companions throughout the ship.

Although all itineraries are gay-friendly, consider booking a sailing during Pride Month in June for an extra special experience. Onboard entertainment during this month includes guest entertainers, a flag raising ceremony, Celebrity's signature Pride Party at Sea and more. The Italian Riviera & France cruise will depart from Barcelona on June 8, 2024, on the new Celebrity Ascent; this 10-night Mediterranean sailing stops at ports in France, Italy and Malta. Private travel companies like VACAYA also charter Celebrity ships for all-gay voyages throughout the year.

Specifically marketed toward lesbians and LGBTQ women, Olivia has hosted more than 350,000 travelers by land and sea over five decades. Cruisers can choose between river voyages or ocean sailings to destinations around the world. On the lesbian cruises, expect a mix of nostalgic decade-themed dance parties, folk singers, writing workshops, karaoke and other activities. Cruisers can also relax poolside, spend some time in the onboard spa or take it easy in one of the ships' lounges.

Travelers who are looking to connect with others who share similar backgrounds can do so in one of Olivia's specialized programs. There are group and solo traveler meetups, as well as programs like Sisters, which is for LGBTQ women of color; Gen-O, for cruisers 40 and younger; Women in Uniform gatherings, for veterans and those currently in the armed forces; and events for OWLs (which stands for "older, wiser lesbians"). Past cruisers on Olivia's voyages report feeling a true sense of community and belonging on board, resulting in a fun, carefree trip.

In June 2024, set sail with Olivia from Edinburgh, Scotland, to Dublin on Windstar Cruises' Star Legend. Or, visit the islands of Tahiti on the line's Star Breeze in September. Other cruise itineraries include Alaska, the Greek Isles, Mexico and the Panama Canal.

Royal Caribbean International provides a welcoming and inclusive experience for LGBTQ travelers. The popular cruise line frequently partners with Atlantis Events to offer all-gay voyages throughout the year, but even the standard sailings earn praise.

Highlights of the sailings are the ships' entertainment options (including the Tony Award-winning musical "Mamma Mia!") and attentive staff, according to past cruisers. Itineraries typically include LGBTQ meetups at the beginning of each cruise for gay travelers to meet like-minded passengers. Outside of the sailing experience, Royal Caribbean has also publicly committed to supporting the LGBTQ community throughout the year, and it was the first cruise line to earn the title "Gay Traveler Approved" from GayTravel in 2016.

In 2024, consider a Royal Caribbean voyage that sails to gay-friendly destinations. "Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, [is] full of gay bars, clubs and gay beaches," says Martinez. Hop aboard Navigator of the Seas in May for a seven-night sailing round-trip from Los Angeles that stops in Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta and Ensenada, Mexico. Navigator of the Seas also hosts a seven-night itinerary throughout the year that calls on Mazatlan, Mexico, as well.

According to past cruisers, if you're looking for one of the best party scenes on the open seas, consider an all-gay cruise with La Demence. Powered by a popular gay nightclub in Brussels with the same name, La Demence – French for "the madness" – primarily caters to a European crowd. Most passengers are male, though women are also welcome.

On board, passengers should expect to dance the night away at massive deck parties that last into the wee hours of the morning. The line prides itself on its top-notch DJs, impressive light setup and electric party atmosphere. Previous cruisers had high praise for the itineraries – which exclusively visit gay-friendly locations – as well as the fruity cocktails, themed nights (costumes strongly encouraged) and glamorous entertainment. Enjoy unique events like drag bingo, high heel runs and more.

La Demence sails every summer to European destinations like Greece, Italy and Malta. The 2023 cruise was chartered on Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas. Fares include all food and nonalcoholic beverages, plus access to all parties, shows and the onboard gym.

Source Journeys has been planning luxury vacations for LGBTQ travelers for more than 20 years. The Miami-based company, with the vision of founder and chief executive officer Craig Smith, offers small group land tours and full-charter cruises for like-minded travelers with a focus on giving back to the communities they visit. The company also supports LGBTQ organizations, such as the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force and the Human Rights Campaign.

Past guests of their tours say their fellow travelers were as fun and interesting as the destinations. They appreciated the excellent personalized planning for the trips by Smith and his life partner, Rafael Rodriguez.

The company's cruises in 2024 include a seven-night Galápagos sailing in late September on a Relais & Chateau luxury yacht: Ecoventura's new ship, Evolve. The intimate ship accommodates just 20 passengers. Source Journeys is also offering a seven-night river cruise through Burgundy and Provence, France, in June on Avalon Waterways' Avalon Poetry II, as well as a seven-night voyage from Venice along the Dalmatian Coast. This ocean cruise scheduled in August is chartered on Star Clippers' masted sailing ship, Royal Clipper.

Frequently Asked Questions

When it comes to gay cruising, gone are the days of discreet "Friends of Dorothy" meetups. The term – a euphemism that dates back to the 1950s – was once used to indicate gay social events on daily cruise line programs, without explicitly calling out members of the community on board. It's a far cry from today's LGBTQ cruising industry, which loudly and proudly celebrates passengers from all walks of life.

According to experts, LGBTQ cruising is a market that will only continue to grow. Travelers can take their pick between cruise operators tailored specifically to queer communities and major cruise lines that offer festive Pride celebrations and inclusive onboard entertainment. As travel on the high seas continues to grow in popularity for vacationers, gay and lesbian travelers should consider setting sail on a fun-filled cruise vacation for their next trip.

When planning a cruise, vacationers should first consider what their ideal sailing looks like.

Gay-friendly vs. all-gay sailings: Cruisers should think about whether they'd like to travel aboard a gay-friendly mainstream line – such as Celebrity Cruises or Virgin Voyages – or opt for an all-gay, full-ship charter with a third-party vacation company.

"Each and every LGBTQIAPK person has a different level of comfortability in their 'outness,' " says Patrick Gunn, co-founder and chief marketing officer of LGBTQ vacation company VACAYA. Of VACAYA's all-gay charters, he adds, "For one magical week, our community gets to be the majority and live life out loud in the blissful utopia VACAYA creates on a gay cruise. That single change from being an always-minority to a sudden majority can have a profoundly positive real-world effect on individuals."

  • Travel style: Some cruise operators (think: Atlantis Events and La Demence) are known for their electrifying all-night parties, which may be perfect for gay groups of friends. Meanwhile, other companies like VACAYA and Olivia look to provide a more diverse selection of activities, ranging from tea dances (LGBTQ parties that, historically, included tea service) to philanthropic service activities to immersive onshore experiences.
  • Ports of call: Some of the most LGBTQ- and gay-friendly destinations for cruises include: Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Sydney; Barcelona, Spain; Taipei (Keelung), Taiwan; Helsinki; Quebec City; Auckland, New Zealand; Mykonos, Greece; Reykjavik, Iceland; Amsterdam; Tel Aviv, Israel; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and San Francisco. Countries that gay travelers may want to avoid include the Maldives, Jamaica, Morocco, Malaysia and Haiti, as homosexuality is illegal in these destinations.

Voyager seul : comment réussir son voyage en solo avec misterb&b 16 juil. 2019 par Lachlan

 Voyager seul : comment réussir son voyage en solo avec misterb&b

L’heure des vacances est arrivée, ces deux semaines de liberté que vous attendiez sont déjà là, et vous êtes sur le point de commencer vos vacances de rêve et de récupérer des heures de sommeil. Vous vous voyiez déjà dans les rues animées de Barcelone mais la personne qui vous accompagnait vient d’annuler. Que faire maintenant ? N’hésitez pas, allez-y tout seul !

Vous vous demandez peut-être comment voyager en solo car cela peut être une expérience assez intimidante. Vais-je me sentir seul ? Dois-je réserver une table pour une personne dans le resto que j’ai toujours voulu essayer ? Quels sont les meilleurs endroits pour voyager tout seul ? Tout voyageur solo se pose ces questions-là avant de se lancer dans cette aventure. Nous sommes ici pour vous faciliter les choses avec des petites astuces pour réussir votre voyage solo avec misterb&b. Alors, qu’attendez-vous ? Lancez-vous et vivez une nouvelle expérience.

1)  Choisissez le misterb&b idéal pour vous

voyage solo gay

De Rome à Berlin , de Londres à Sydney , il y a de nombreux appartements misterb&b parmi lesquels vous pouvez choisir. Mais, tous les goûts sont dans la nature, alors devez vous assurer que vous allez être à l’aise et détendu dans votre hébergement misterb&b. Lorsque vous chercherez un appartement, vous verrez que misterb&b vous propose des logements entiers ainsi que des chambres privées. Ce choix sera clé pour votre séjour car il dépendra de vos envies : soit vous voulez jouer la carte de la sociabilité pendant votre trip, soit vous préférez être au calme dans un appartement privé. Vous allez peut-être être un peu mal à l’aise chez quelqu’un que vous ne connaissez pas, mais en réalité les hôtes peuvent faire de vos vacances en solitaire une très bonne expérience et, qui sait, vous finirez peut-être avec un nouvel ami !

2)  Restez en contact avec votre hôte

voyage solo gay

Ça y est, vous avez trouvé l’appartement idéal et votre hôte a confirmé la réservation : vous n’avez plus qu’à décider combien de paires de chinos vous allez mettre dans votre valise. Nous ne voulons pas être pessimiste, mais comme pour toute aventure, il faut que vous soyez préparé à tout contretemps ! Il se peut que le vol de votre hôte ait été retardé et qu’il arrive deux heures plus tard que prévu vous accueillir. Ou il se peut que vous soyez dans le mauvais quai à la gare et que vous ayez loupé le premier train… Pour vous assurer que votre séjour se passe comme prévu, il est crucial de rester en contact avec votre hôte avant et pendant le voyage. N’oubliez pas de le tenir au courant de tous les changements concernant les préparatifs de voyage et soyez prêt pour tout imprévu !

3) Soyez ouvert, sociable et généreux 

voyage solo gay

Lorsque vous choisissez de séjourner chez un hôte misterb&b, vous êtes reçu chez lui, dans son espace personnel. Alors profitez-en au maximum et soyez l’invité idéal. C’est l’opportunité de partager votre séjour et votre expérience avec quelqu’un - vous allez voir, les hôtes sont très souvent contents de vous entendre faire des éloges (ou pas) de leur ville. Sachez que si vous voyagez en solo, votre hôte sera sûrement votre principal contact dans la ville alors n’hésitez pas à amener une bouteille de vin un soir et la partager avec lui. Cela peut être une bonne occasion pour apprendre à se connaître. Ça vous aidera à briser la glace et vous à sentir comme à la maison.

4)  Faites de votre hôte une source d’information

voyage solo gay

Même si vous avez lu tous les livres de voyage de poche pour préparer votre aventure en solitaire, n’oubliez pas que votre hôte est la personne qui habite la ville que vous allez visiter alors il est sûrement plus expert que vous en la matière. Profitez au max de ses connaissances sur les alentours et demandez-lui tout ce que vous voulez savoir : quel est le meilleur endroit pour manger du bacon et des oeufs le matin ? Quel bar gay dois-je fréquenter pour trouver mon Don Juan ? Où danser sur de la musique pop et me délecter de mon anonymat dans la ville ? Les hôtes ont l’habitude de partager leurs conseils et astuces et il se pourrait qu’ils vous accompagnent aussi.

5)  Dites oui à tout, on ne vit qu’une fois !

Dites oui à tout, mais dans la mesure du raisonnable, bien sûr. Gardez en tête que les hôtes utilisent misterb&b pour se connecter avec la communauté gay mondiale et pour rencontrer de nouvelles personnes. Certains hôtes proposent à leurs invités d’aller boire un verre avec leurs amis, d’autres organisent même un dîner d’accueil. Alors, si vous avez l’occasion de participer à un événement, n’hésitez plus ! Nous savons qu’il n’est pas évident de sortir avec des personnes que l’on ne connaît pas ou dont la langue maternelle n’est pas la même, mais rappelez-vous : vous n’allez pas regretter les choses que vous avez faites mais celles que vous n’avez pas faites. Alors, dites oui à tout, vous ne vivez qu’une fois ! 

6)  Soyez un mister correct et propre

voyage solo gay

Vous êtes sûrement bien installé dans votre appartement misterb&b, et votre hôte peut sembler votre nouveau super pote, mais n’oubliez pas : vous n’êtes pas chez votre maman. Alors pensez à être propre et rangé, comme si vous étiez chez un bon copain. Vous n’allez pas passer votre séjour dans un hôtel où l’on vous fait le ménage tous les jours, mais dans l’appartement d’un particulier, garder le propre. Cela veut dire : pas de chaussures sales dans le salon, pas de sous-vêtements gênants par terre dans la salle de bain et pas de restes de votre petit-déjeuner dans l’évier. Il était peut-être normal de faire cela lorsque vous étiez en colocation avec six personnes à l’université, mais pas dans votre appartement misterb&b. De plus, c’est le meilleur moyen d’obtenir un avis élogieux de la part de votre hôte !

7)  Laissez votre avis

Chez misterb&b, nous aimons que le choses soient transparentes et que notre communauté reconnaisse les Fabul’hosts. Si vous avez vécu une expérience incroyable avec votre hôte misterb&b, dîtes-le ! Non seulement vous rendrez un service à votre hôte mais vous allez également aider d’autres voyageurs à trouver l’hébergement idéal pour leur séjour. Les avis détaillés sont clés aussi ! Parlez de l’appartement, du quartier, de l’hôte - aidez nos utilisateurs à comprendre tous les aspects qui vous ont plu ou non ! De même, racontez que vous avez réussi votre voyage en solitaire, ils seront inspirés par votre anecdote !

8) Planifiez votre prochain voyage solo avec misterb&b 

voyage solo gay

Ça y est, vous maîtrisez les voyages en solo, vous êtes resté chez un super hôte misterb&b, vous avez rencontré ses amis et vous avez découvert la vie nocturne de la ville. Que faire maintenant ? Il est temps de planifier votre prochaine aventure ! Si vous avez l’intention de vous rendre dans un pays où vous n’êtes pas tout à fait sûr du niveau d'acceptation des personnes LGBTQ, jetez un œil sur nos conseils pour des voyages gays sans risque .

Êtes-vous prêts pour votre aventure solo ? Soyez sûr de mettre les bonnes choses dans votre valise, jetez un coup d’oeil à notre post sur les 10 choses indispensables à mettre dans une valise gay-friendly .

Gay Holidays For Singles: 25 Fabulous Destination Ideas To Inspire Your Next Trip!

Queer travel expert Jack Kenworthy turns 250+ city adventures into your guide for safe, vibrant, and inclusively fabulous global journeys.

OK, so you’re flying solo and ready to mingle – maybe a gay holiday for singles is exactly what you need? Far away from the tedium of work, the responsibilities of daily life, and more than likely all those familiar faces on Grindr back home (or even worse …your ex!)

But where exactly should you head?

That’s where we come in: we’ve got a list of 25 great destinations if you’re going on a gay holiday on your own – though we also recommend some gay travel groups here if you don’t want to be by yourself all the time. There’s something for everyone here, whether you want to dance on a beach or sample exotic cuisine looking over a cityscape. And, of course, all of our gay holidays for singles ideas offer fabulous, queer, glitterati fun, and inclusive vibes.

Read on, but don’t blame us if you end up wanting to go to all 25!

gay travel destinations for singles * singles holidays

In this article we will cover...

Gay Bangkok

Gay copenhagen, gay fort lauderdale, gay tel aviv, gay mykonos, gay amsterdam, gay hong kong, gay nashville, gay queenstown, gay chicago, gay rovaniemi, gay puerto vallarta, gay brisbane.

A fast-paced, lively city, Bangkok is a perfect gay destination if you fancy something a bit different and have tonnes of energy!

In Thailand, gay, lesbian , and trans lifestyles are generally accepted, and Bangkok is the hub of that. It’s popular with queer travelers for good reason: great shopping, affordability, delicious food, nightlife you’ll definitely want to write home about (although perhaps you shouldn’t!).

Go if: You want a gay holiday for singles that are all about adventure, wild nightlife, and doing as many different things as possible – not just sightseeing.

Gay Bangkok Thailand * gay cruises for singles * gay trips for singles

Sitges is a lovely resort town on Spain’s Costa Brava. Some visitors may ask, “where is the gay part of Sitges?” The answer: Sitges. In fact, in the peak travel season – that is, the summer months – there are more gay visitors to Sitges than there are straight ones. 

So, to say that Sitges is gay friendly is quite an understatement, as the many gay bars and clubs in town demonstrate. 

The main (but by no means only) draw for gay tourists in Sitges is the collection of gay beaches. Perhaps best known among them is the exclusively gay Playa del Muerto. Don’t let the name fool you, though: this beach is one lively place, not to mention one of the best places in town to meet guys. 

Bassa Rodona is another beach in Sitges that is popular with the gay crowd. So popular, in fact, that it can get rather packed during the peak tourist season. The more, the merrier, they say, and with all those buff boys there to soak up the sun right along with you, there will be plenty of eye candy to keep you occupied. And you’ll be glad to know that there are several men-only resorts right there on the beachfront. Sitges is surely one of Europe’s gay travel gems and one of those destinations you really just can’t go wrong with. 

Go if: You want a pumping gay beach right in the center of the village, wild nightlife, and not one but two discreet nudist beaches to wear nothing but flip flops …

Gay Sitges Spain

One of the world’s most LGBTQ-friendly cities where anyone is always welcome anywhere; there is a lot more to love about Gay Copenhagen than just its queer spirit and admirable history of promoting gay rights.

Copenhagen today is one of the world’s most sought after travel destinations defined by a gastronomical revolution fuelled by New Nordic cuisine, Danish design that embraces simplicity, detail, and minimalist beauty, and of course, there is all the museums and cultural treasure stretch back to the Viking for tourists to marvel over.

Add to this Copenhagen is one of the world’s most liveable cities filled with animated cycleways, world-class public transport, inviting public spaces which function as living rooms, and a full roster of events, and it is easy to see why everyone – gay, straight or unicorn – is flocking to this colorful and cool Scandinavian capital.

Go if: You want to experience an intrinsically progressive country and an edgy yet functional city with one of the world’s best pride festivals and more queer spirit than we can handle.

Home to over 100 gay-owned establishments, not to mention a wealth of both gay and gay-friendly beaches and that sweet Florida sunshine, it’s no wonder why Ft. Lauderdale is considered one of America’s best cities for gay tourists. It is Florida’s uncontested gay capital and so much more than just a spring breaks destination. 

While the city as a whole has a very gay-friendly attitude, with the highest concentration of gay couples of any U.S. city, it is the gayborhood of Wilton Manors where most of the large gay scene in Ft. Lauderdale will be found. You’ll be hard-pressed to find better gay nightlife than here. It’s also a great place for cruising, with several prime cruising spots.

With so much to offer gay tourists, it is easy to see why so many choose to come back to Ft. Lauderdale year after year. Go cruising or lounge at the beach by day, hit the clubs and bars by night. It sounds like the good life, doesn’t it?

Go if: You love to stay in gay resorts and want to explore one of the most expansive and diverse gay scenes in the world.

Gay Fort Lauderdale - gay singles vacations

Israel might be getting more conservative, but Tel Aviv remains a must-go destination among the gay community.

As well as world-famous nightlife, Tel Aviv also offers white sand beaches, Instagram-worthy markets, and delicious eats. Need any more persuading? An estimated 25% of the population is gay. Do we have to say more?

Go if: You want a beach covered in muscled hunks and cosmopolitan dining and nightlife.

Gay Tel Aviv Israel * singles vacations * gay resorts for singles

For those who didn’t know: Berlin has one heck of a gay side. Though many might not think of Berlin as a haven for LGBTQ+ people, the truth is that Germany’s capital is one of the most gay-friendly major cities in Europe. It even has a bear as one of its symbols (though this is due to the fact that the bear features on the city’s coat of arms and is entirely coincidental; however, the bear, in this case, was meant to symbolize tolerance among different social and cultural groups).

But you may be asking: what is there to do in Berlin for gay tourists? The answer is quite a lot. The city is host to several large pride events, the biggest and most notable of which is CSD Berlin held every July since 1979. It is one of the biggest pride events on the entire continent.

The city has a collection of gay and gay-friendly hotels known as the Pink Pillow Berlin, to designate the best places for LGBTQ tourists to find safe and inviting accommodations. Berlin also has a multitude of gay bars and clubs, and even a gay museum. Gay visitors to Berlin will find a hidden gem once they give it a chance.

Go if: Your gay kinks tend towards the more niche side and you want somewhere to explore them with a welcoming and accepting community.

gay berlin - gay holidays for singles

If this is your first single gay holiday, Mykonos might be the best place to start. Brilliantly gay-friendly and welcoming, Mykonos offers a paradise playground for gays looking for fun in the sun and all-night dancing. Similarly to Bangkok, anything goes in Mykonos’ gay clubs and summer festivals; you can always sunbathe the hangover off in one of the white-washed hotels.

An added attraction is the XISIOR International Summer Gay Festival: a week in August of beach partying with 30,000 other gays (hopefully mostly single too!).

Go if: You want hedonistic gay nightlife followed by days of tanning on sun-drenched and slightly cruisy beaches.

Gay Mykonos Greece * gay getaways for singles * lesbian singles holidays

A grand metropolis of love, business, art, design, and shopping where queer people are embraced as a natural part of society, it’s no wonder Gay London is one of the world’s most famous LGBT travel destinations.

By day there are plenty of sexy English boys and girls picnicking in historic parks, wandering the banks of the Thames, or lazing around cafes in London’s gay areas but by night is when things really come alive. London is world renown as one of the greatest gay cities on Earth, and no trip here would ever be complete without visiting the expansive gay villages in the Soho and Vauxhall neighborhoods. As you will see, LGBT bars and clubs can be found all over Gay London, but it is within these two neighborhoods that you can really see gay life flourishing.

Energetic cafes, pubs, bars, clubs, and members-only organizations combine to offer a truly diverse range of nightlife entertainment – expand your horizons, London has everything you always knew you wanted…and surely if a few hidden delights you might never have considered.

Go if: You want a gay holiday for singles where you can live out your best queer life surrounded by world-class museums, haute couture shopping, iconic architecture, fine dining, and an utterly intoxicating atmosphere.

Some might say that Amsterdam is a city where hedonism reigns. And that is precisely what’s so great about it. Most famous for its red-light district and coffee houses selling a lot more than just a good brew (namely mushrooms and a certain “herb”), the “City of Sin” is also home to a vibrant gay scene, with a large pride parade called Amsterdam Pride every August. 

Amsterdam is also home to the Homomonument, a poignant tribute in stone to all those of LGBTQ persuasion who have been persecuted because of their sexual orientation. The monument consists of three main centerpieces: The Triangle of the Past, The Triangle of the Present, And the Triangle of the Future. 

The memorial especially is intended to commemorate the LGBTQ folks who were victims of the Nazis. Every year there is a ceremony held on The Netherlands ‘ National Day of Remembrance. In truth, the Homomonument is something that shouldn’t be missed by any gay visitor to Amsterdam. 

And to explore a lighter side of the city, visit the Reguliersdwarsstraat, which is the hub of Amsterdam’s gay scene, with a host of gay bars and clubs that are always ready to party. 

Go if: You have a passion for male festival outfits and want to show off your best at the annual Milkshake festival . Or if you want to experience what living in a world of total acceptance is like.

Hong Kong makes up for its tiny space by cramming in as many people and buildings and as much gay fun as possible. Don’t be put off by the legal status of gays here, society (in general) is happy to let you do your thing, and there are plenty of activities for gay singles.

This is a truly unique city and well worth visiting. Things are always changing, but no matter what’s updated its name or moved location, there will always be incredible restaurants, gorgeous views from the skyscrapers, and dusk-til-dawn dancing.

Go if: You like the idea of sipping innovative cocktails while gazing out over the iconic city skyline.

France is one of the most queer-friendly destinations in the world, and Paris is the pinnacle of this: the widespread acceptance has resulted in a gay bar scene that is hard to rival.

You can be drinking cocktails and discussing philosophy one minute at an underground kink party the next. And that’s just a Wednesday night! During the day, you can make the most of the city’s famous sights, designer shops, exquisite food, and people-watching along the boulevards.

Go if: You like a touch of Parisian sophistication and gorgeous French men on your gay holiday for singles. 

Gay Paris France * lesbian singles vacations * gay singles

Let’s start by addressing the elephant in the room: yes, Nashville is in Tennessee , a state not exactly known for its liberal approach. Gay acceptance is a complex issue in Nashville, but by and large, it is hugely welcoming, inclusive, and well worth a trip.

If you’re the creative or musical type, this is the ideal destination to discover a flourishing arts scene. Not to mention you’ll have the chance to get down and dirty in the city’s many gay bars and clubs.

Go if: You love live music, quirky neighborhoods, a good pair of cowboy boots, and feel like a single gay holiday with a difference.

Gay Palm Springs

It’s official: Gay Palm Spring is back again baby, and us gays are absolutely living for it! We are literally everywhere here, from the plethora of clothing-optional gay resorts, to fabulous gay nightclubs, chic museums, hiking trails, modern dining venues, and everywhere in between…

Once the glittery desert escape of Hollywood’s star in the 50s and 60s, Palms Springs slowly slid into obscurity and decayed only to be rediscovered in the last few decades by the gays, and now hipsters, hikers, and everyone in between has moved in. With incredible nature, retro-chic vibes,  mid-Century architecture, fabulous resort, and an epic lineup of events annually, it was only a matter of time really, we guess.

With over 40% of the permanent population identifying as LGBT+, it is safe to say that Palm Springs reigns supreme and is the biggest gayest destination on Earth. Home to America’s first all-LGBT city council, Gay Palm Springs is a haven for all those who want to just be themselves with LGBT discrimination is almost unheard of and a host of resorts, clubs, bars, and restaurants all vying for the almighty ‘pink dollar.

Go if: You want to travel only a few hours from Los Angeles and San Diego , but still want to explore a desert haven seemingly a world away from the politics of hate and discrimination.

It might seem like a slightly off-the-wall choice but we know that not everyone wants a gay holiday destination that’s dawn ‘til dawn partying.

You might be single, but maybe you just want to meet like-minded people over a beer in the pub after a day of extreme sports, rather than dance all night in a sweaty nightclub. To each his own! Let us suggest Queenstown, the ‘adventure capital of the world’ nestled in New Zealand’s stunning Southern Alps.

There’s plenty to do for adrenaline junkies all year round, but if you want something special, then how about planning a visit during the annual Winter Pride/Gay Ski Week – that’s in September, for you Northern hemisphere lot. It is one of the biggest gay ski weeks in the world and is worth planning an entire trip around.

Go if: You want a gay holiday that takes in stunning scenery, welcoming locals, and cosmopolitan nightlife – or maybe some skiing!

Gay Queenstown New Zealand * best gay singles vacations * gay travel packages for singles

Sydney is a sophisticated and exciting city that’s the perfect destination for your gay holiday for singles. The people are friendly, open, and easy on the eye; there’s a wide range of hipster coffee shops, edgy galleries, and quayside walks for you to enjoy during the day.

As for the night, there’s definitely always something to do (even if it won’t get into your postcards). From huge gay dance parties to spectacular drag shows, you’ll be sure to enjoy nights and meet people you’ll never forget.

Go if: You like gorgeous weather and even more gorgeous men – along with a wide variety of day and night activities.

It sounds like cliché, but Gay Tokyo really is like no other city on earth; it’s vibrant, it’s iconic, and it mixes traditional scenes with futuristic cityscapes in a way that can only be experienced. The LGBT scene in Japan isn’t without its difficulties, but as a single gay traveler to Tokyo, you’re guaranteed not to run into any discrimination.

Instead, you can enjoy sampling the diverse gay scene, the delicious food, and the streamlined way of life in this metropolis. Not to mention the world’s biggest sex toy shop…

Go if: You want to experience something truly different on your gay solo holiday – with fire-breathing dragon robots and relaxing zen gardens!

Gay Tokyo - Gay Holidays for Singles

Gay Seoul is one of the world’s most underestimated travel destinations, overlooked continuously for its more famous East Asian neighbors. Better know for Samsung and political tensions with North Korea, there is a thriving queer scene here hidden right in plain sight – you just need to know where to look!

Fast-paced and utterly obsessed with fashion and technology, the dynamic city of Seoul is also profoundly traditional, with peaceful palaces, temples, and mountain trails. Skyscrapers overshadow elegant hanbok (traditional wooden homes), green spaces and cycle routes soften industrial hard edges, and K-Pop can be heard blaring on almost every street corner. Seoulites have a lot to be proud of in their 24/7 city – where you can get whatever you want, whenever you want – and their gay scene here is no exception. We just wish the society at large would be more accepting…

Go if:  Food, design, culture, history, and wild nightlife do it for you – this sprawling metropolis has it all! With an intoxicating mix of hedonism and religion, what’s not to love…

Shade Seoul

Gay Rome is just one of those cities that everyone dreams of visiting. The eternal city is a vibrant mix of ruins, art, history, street life, and culture – an exhilarating experience that thrills, inspires, and never, ever disappoints.

For gay travelers, Milan to the north might have the biggest gay scene in the country – but Gay Rome does not disappoint with a fun gay street (with epic Coliseum views), a handful of gay bars, and a tantalizing array of gay dance parties, saunas and cruising spots.

Masculine, testosterone, men-only parties are very much a key party of the Rome gay scene, but there is a growing collection of queer take-overs and fun club nights that welcome everybody from across the LGBT+ spectrum.

Go if: You want a gay holiday for singles that involves falling head over heels with cute Italian boys (and girls). High-brow cocktails? Bears with beers? Dark underground fetish parties?  Some of the wildest gay parties in Europe? Sign us up…

Deep-dish pizza, soaring skyscrapers, vibrant music festivals, and … the first officially recognized gay village? Yes, Gay Chicago might not be your first thought when considering gay hotspots in the USA where you can just be yourself, but after you have immersed yourself in the frenzied energy of the Boystown gaybourhood you will soon be wondering how the Windy City managed to keep its fabulousness under wraps for so long….

As the heart of the Chicago LGBT community, Boystown boasts everything from boutique shopping and trend-setting dining to alluring spas and irresistible after-hours entertainment in every form imaginable – and no Gay Chicago travel plans would be complete without at least one night out here.

Go if: You want stratospheric towers of glass that rise from the downtown muddled with capricious public art, a relaxing lakefront, and a cornucopia of world-class dining. All infused with a come-as-your-fabulous-self spirit!

Dubai is a magnificent experimentation in combing intense Islamic traditions with a ruthlessly futuristic vision, all amidst an exquisitely desolate desert landscape.

Dubai is sleek rooftop terraces, vast shopping complexes, a world-class skyline, lavish infinity pools, scorching beach clubs, and, well, just an excessive amount of wealth and gold. Many would argue this grand experiment has been a supreme success, but for the LGBT community, this leap into modernity is very much a facade.

We know: all that art, fashion, design, glitz luxury, and wild nightlife…with no gays? “I’m not buying it!”

Yes, this sounds all a bit scary and wild, but in reality, Dubai is something of a Gay Mecca in the region. Not least as it is a hub for one of the world’s biggest airlines, Emirates, and all those flight attendants. And the local gay scene is quite vibrant, if very discreet, and only known through social media or word of mouth. But it is far better than Gay Abu Dhabi…

Go if: You like undercover hook-ups and cute flight attendants. From the lofty heights of its ultramodern architecture to the fashionable beach clubs, uninhabited nightlife, and opulent hotels and resorts, nothing here is ever understated or straightforward.

The glittering queer capital of the already exceptionally welcoming and LGBT-friendly Canada . Think Ottawa is your average stuffy capital which only looks semi-alive 9-5 on business days? Think again!

Ottawa is dynamic, fresh, approachable, and – dare we say – sexy! With a small yet vibrant and well-organized gay community consisting of everyone from activists to professionals, pioneers to young queer visionaries, there is always something going on here. Pop-up queer takeovers, drag shows, poetry, bear coffee meetups, and more arts & culture than we thought possible – just to name a few!

Go if: You want to an insane roster of A-list events throughout the year, plenty of the best museums in Canada, leafy green spaces, and of course, the chance of bumping into dreamy Justin Trudeau.

Everyone knows Vienna is full of grandeur, glorious castles and palaces, and opera. That’s all well and good, but as a single gay, are you going to have much fun there? Hell yes!

There are hidden (and not-so-hidden) gems everywhere in Vienna: from pop-up markets and galleries to gay dance parties, bookshops, and swimming pools. You might want to try the traditional Sachertorte, but you can also enjoy modern eats and cocktails. Trust us; if you’re going on a solo holiday, this is not a place to miss.

Go if: You’ll enjoy meeting other gay singles among magnificent architecture, sophisticated coffee shops, and old-world culture.

The cultured capital of Finnish Lapland is filled with intriguing museums, gorgeous hotels, quirky bars, and more than a few sauna options. Not to mention all that expansive wilderness right on your doorsteps where the dense Taiga forest is only broken by the odd husky kennels, reindeer farms, and rustic huts perfect for Northern Light viewing.

Of course, in this small town, “gay” means something closer to “merry and bright” than it does “homosexual” – there is no camp nightlife nor a gay village or raunchy saunas. For us, this was actually a large part of the appeal… If you wanted a high-energy gaycation, Amsterdam, Fort Lauderdale, or  Las Vegas  might be better options.

There is a fabulous annual Arctic Pride, and Rovaniemi is the official residence of the world’s most famous bushy-bearded bear, Santa Claus – but for LGBT travelers, the appeal perhaps lies more in the complete acceptance they will find in such a liberal and open-minded destination.

Go if: You want to explore a wild landscape and open-to-all hospitality. This is the country that produced  Tom of Finland  after all – and today, Rovaniemi is for everyone to enjoy, after all, no matter their gender, sexual preference, or race.

Hugging the twinkling blue Bahía de Banderas and backed by verdant palm-covered Sierra Madre mountains, Gay Puerto Vallarta is one of the world’s most famous gay destinations!

A small city with astounding sandy beaches, boutique shopping, world-class dining, and a tantalizing malecón (boardwalk), it’s no wonder the gays have made this their home! Puerto Vallarta first burst upon the international jet-set scene after the filming of the “Night of the Iguana” with Liz Taylor, but it was not until the 90s that an LGBT industry pop’d up after the opening of the “Club Paco Paco.”

There is no shortage of epic gay clubs, laid-back cocktail bars, gay hotels, or sexy hombresin the Zona Romantico, Puerto Vallarta’s Gay District – but today, LGBT travelers will be welcomed almost everywhere in this tolerant and gay-friendly beachside town. In fact, Mexico, in general, is becoming increasingly gay-friendly as long-ingrained cultural mindsets change, as evidenced by the bustling gay scene in cities like  Guadalajara ,  Monterrey ,  Queretaro , and  Puebla.

Go if: You want a gay holiday for singles that is all about affordable luxury, your global queer family, tropical heat, and wild nightlife! And to show off your best gay swimwear…

Where are all the queens in Queensland? In Brisbane. Australia’s third-largest city after Sydney and Melbourne is arguably its gayest. While it may not have the biggest gay community in the world, Brisbane’s gayborhoods of Fortitude Valley and Teneriffe do have some of the friendliest gay hotels and bars/clubs in The Land Down Under for gay tourists. 

Brisbane also has a large gay pride parade that has been running strong for over 30 years. There is also a street festival fundraiser event called Big Gay Day, established in 2000, which raises money for local charities with live music, drag performances, and more. Such notables as Sporty Spice and Boy George have graced the stages of Big Gay Day. It is quite an extravaganza, and well worth visiting Brisbane if you happen to be in Queensland. 

And don’t worry, there are plenty of hotels, bars, cafes, and eateries in Brisbane that cater to the gay crowd as you enjoy the city’s excellent climate and vibrant gay scene. And if you’re lucky enough to be here in late May, don’t forget to check out MELT: Festival of Queer Arts and Culture, held at Brisbane Powerhouse. 

Go if: You are looking for a hidden gay scene filled with welcoming people, culture and none of the pretense associated with its larger neighbours.

Meilleures destinations Gay Friendly : 12 pays où voyager en étant LGBT

Meilleures destinations voyage gay lgbt

Comme vous le savez probablement, toutes les destinations touristiques sont loin d’être gay friendly. En effet, certaines populations locales et gouvernements sont plus ou moins accueillants vis à vis des personnes LGBT (lesbiennes, gays, bisexuels, transgenres). Pour éviter les problèmes il faut donc bien se renseigner sur la destination de ses prochaines vacances, notamment avec des outils comme le Gay Travel Index.

Pour vous inspirer et peut être vous donner des idées de destinations voyage gay friendly, nous avons regroupé 12 destinations qui valent vraiment le coup d’être visitées.

Le Gay Travel Index, comment ça fonctionne ?

Le Gay Travel Index est le classement des pays accueillant les homosexuels. Plusieurs critères sont pris en compte comme les lois anti-LGBT, l’organisation autorisée ou pas des marches de fierté, les sanctions envers le lesbiennes et les gay, les restrictions d’entrée dans le pays des personnes séropositives ou encore l’influence de la religion. Le Gay Travel Index est mis à jour chaque année, prenant en compte l’évolution de la législation des pays pour ou contre les LGBT. Gràce à ce guide, les personnes sont informées sur les destinations les plus sûres.

Ce classement annuel est publié par le guide gay international de Spartacus.

Les Meilleures destinations Gay Friendly

Le Canada est l’un des pays les plus gay-friendly tant au niveau de la législation que dans l’attitude. Le meilleur accueil s’établit surtout dans les grandes villes du pays comme Vancouver, Montréal, Toronto ou encore Halifax. Le Canada propose notamment de nombreuses gay pride pendant l’été. En effet, plusieurs villes fêtent la diversité sexuelle. La principale marche de la fierté gay se tient à Toronto. Les autres se déroulent à Montréal, Québec et Ottawa. La ville de Montréal est aussi connu des touristes homosexuels pour son quartier gay appelé le Village où se trouvent de nombreux bars et discothèques gay.

Le Portugal est aussi une destination gay-friendly grâce à une évolution des droits de la communauté homosexuelle depuis les années 2000.

La ville de Porto compte aussi des établissements gay qui proposent une vie nocturne animée notamment dans le vieux quartier de Jardim de Cordoaria.

En effet, de sa loi sur le mariage sans distinction de sexe à l’interdiction de la discrimination fondée sur l’orientation, la Suède est un des pays les plus sûrs pour la communauté LGBT. Les touristes homosexuels sont donc bien accueillis. La parade de la fierté de Stockholm montre d’ailleurs que la communauté homosexuelle est parfaitement intégrée à la société suédoise.

12 top gay cruises you don’t want to miss in 2024 and 2025

All Inclusive Project_Celebrity Cruises_00012

There's never been a better time to consider a gay cruise. Itineraries include more remote destinations, and more charter companies are offering a wider variety of cruise experiences to meet the full spectrum of the LGBTQ+ community. Also, the ships chartered are almost uniformly elevated and luxurious.

No longer are gay and lesbian groups and full-ship charters relegated to older, tired vessels. Full-ship gay charters command big business for the cruise industry, and major cruise lines are responding by offering their newest and most exciting ships. Many charter companies will take over the entire ship, bringing aboard their own dance parties, entertainment, activities and hosts to tailor the vacation experience to their audience.

The magic of a gay cruise lies in the shared experience of traveling with your community. Each sailing fosters an environment where you can be yourself. You can choose whether to blend in with the crowd or stand out and be celebrated for your flair.

For more cruise news, reviews and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

Bonds often form more quickly and naturally aboard a ship where you're surrounded by your people, especially on full-ship charters where large mixers kick off each sailing.

Expect welcome parties with themes that go beyond just a name tag, whether that's icebreaker games or an opportunity to dress up in a way that signifies where you're from or how you identify. You'll find more openness throughout the ship compared to a traditional non-themed cruise, especially on the pool deck, as many passengers seek out the experience to expand their social circle.

Don't miss the boat on making lifelong friends during an epic cruise vacation. Here are 12 of the best gay cruises in 2024 and 2025.

Date: Dec. 14-21, 2024

The best part of a winter river cruise is docking in a port that's a few steps away from the warm glow and transfixing scents of a European Christmas market.

Outbound will take passengers on the Rhine River this December on Emerald Cruises' Emerald Sun. The itinerary begins in the Netherlands and alights in ports in Germany, France and Switzerland, where guests can sample the local warm chestnuts and mulled wine.

voyage solo gay

Date: Feb. 22-March 1, 2025

The vibe on board is friendly and easygoing, the entertainment is Broadway-caliber and the nightly parties are more about gay anthems than house beats. The company also features an opportunity to give back on each trip with its ReachOut program, where passengers can volunteer with a local project while in port.

Fares for available cabins on the upcoming Caribbean cruise start at $1,147 per person based on double occupancy, not including port taxes, fees and gratuities.

7 Days in Spain, France & Italy – Virgin Voyages Cruise

Tour Itinerary

voyage solo gay

Day 1: October 6, 2024

Barcelona, spain.

Depart Barcelona at 06:00 PM Barcelona needs little introduction and it’s one of the most popular destinations in all of Europe. With year‑round mild temperatures, a seaside location and a welcoming atmosphere for LGBT people, it’s no wonder that gay travelers from around the world come here to indulge in the culture, nightlife and vibrant atmosphere. If the warm weather and seaside location isn’t enough, its stunning architecture and welcoming gay scene will keep you coming back for more.

voyage solo gay

Day 2: October 7, 2024

Toulon, france.

Arrive to Toulon at 09:00 AM The French Riviera, or Côte d’Azur — as the locals call it — is the crown jewel of the south of France. Its quaint yet world-renowned towns grant access to umbrella-dotted beaches and the lavender-rich countryside — making the French Riviera an alluring hotspot. But Toulon, found in the heart of the Riviera, often gets overlooked. Set sail on the Gulf of St. Tropez, ride on an electronic bike through Le Castellet in the Provençal countryside for a wine tasting, or embark on a boat to cruise through canal-like inlets including Port-Miou, Port-Pin, and En-Vau. Departure Toulon at 06:00 PM

Day 3: October 8, 2024

Marina di carrara, italy.

Arrive to Marina di Carrara at 08:00 AM At first glance, you might think the snow-capped-looking marble mountains of Marina di Carrara are the actual snow-capped Alps. And frankly, no one could blame you. The bright white marble mountain tops contrasted against Marina di Carrara’s sandy beaches are almost like something out of a Renaissance painting — it’s that surreal. Take a Jeep to an active marble quarry and learn how Romans used this marble to build their villas, join in a feast of traditional antipasti and pasta accompanied by local red and white wines, or board a coach from the port to Florence to enjoy two free hours to explore the city’s charming center. Depart Marina di Carrara at 08:00 PM

Day 4: October 9, 2024

When it's time to eat, choose from 20+ eateries featuring menus curated by Michelin star chefs. Later in the evening, enjoy shows onboard which were developed by the world’s most-talked-about producers and artists. With a festival-like lineup featuring original, first-to-sea productions, extraordinary pop-up acts, and immersive experiences, the entertainment on board is something you’ve never seen before.

Day 6: October 11, 2024

Ibiza, spain.

Arrive to Ibiza at 07:00 PM Ibiza is one of the four Balearic Islands in Spain and by far the most popular. This small island in the Mediterranean is very gay‑friendly and brings in quite the mixed crowd. Feel the island spirit of Ibiza come alive when spending your day at one of its gorgeous beach clubs, visit two of Formentera's most famous beaches: Platja de Ses Illetes and Platja Es Pujols, or enjoy shopping, people watching, and dining on a one-of-a-kind experience at Las Dalias.
