LGBTQ+ Luxury Holidays

Holidays for a wider community

For most people going on holiday is simply a case of wanting to be as relaxed, carefree and as open as possible. An LGBTQ+ holiday should be no different. Most holidaymakers take certain things, such as holding hands in public and booking a double room, for granted. That’s not always the case for members of LGBTQ+ community.  Being in an LGBTQ+ accepting location is important for peace of mind. Whether you’re off on a romantic same-sex holiday, fancy partying non-stop with your LGBTQ+ friends, or you simply want peace of mind for your LGBTQ+ family. Here’s our guide to destinations where everyone is welcomed.

LGBTQ Malta

Frequently voted the most LGBTQ+ friendly place in Europe, Malta is the sunny island in the middle of the Mediterranean. It’s crystal clear waters and diminutive size make it ideal for LGBTQ+ families, its beautiful buildings and sense of history appeals to romantic same sex city-breakers, while  the buzzing nightlife of Paceville welcomes LGBTQ+ party-goers.
