Perfect places for LGBTQ+ travellers

My time in Greece was nothing short of a dream come true. In Rhodes, strolling through the beautiful Old Town was enchanting, whereas Mykonos provided nights of dancing at vibrant clubs and days lounging on pristine beaches. Athens gave me the chance to explore ancient wonders steeped in rich history, and Santorini was perfect for romantic moments with stunning sunsets and charming villages. With visual representations of LGBTQ+ couples common, Greece is a heartwarming experience where everyone feels accepted and celebrated.

From serene beaches to vibrant cultural festivals, my journey in Thailand was filled with attentive hospitality. On the beaches of Phuket, I encountered warm and friendly locals and felt embraced by their open minded and accepting beliefs. In Chiang Mai, I enjoyed participating in festivals that celebrate diversity and inclusion. The combination of Thailand's rich cultural heritage and inclusive atmosphere makes it an ideal destination for LGBTQ+ travellers seeking both relaxation and adventure.

Virgin Voyages, under the Virgin brand, has always been at the forefront of supporting the LGBTQ+ community and offers a cruise experience where diversity is always celebrated. Whenever I'm on Virgin Voyages with my partner, we truly feel extremely welcome. On board, the presence of the Drag Queen ‘Diva’ added fun and fabulousness to the journey. Whether relaxing by the pool, enjoying the delightful dining options, or taking in the vibrant entertainment, Virgin Voyages ensures that everyone has fun.

My time in Miami was unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, I felt exhilarated by the city's vivid and friendly atmosphere. Miami's commitment to the LGBTQ+ community is evident everywhere you go, from the colourful streets of South Beach to the artistic vibe of Wynwood Walls. I enjoyed soaking up the sun on the beautiful beaches and exploring the lively nightlife. The energy of the city, combined with the warm hospitality of the locals, made me feel right at home. With so much to do and see, not only in Miami but the surrounding areas, it truly is a must-visit.

Combining Eastern and Western influences, Hong Kong offers a dynamic and exciting range of experiences. I found it to be a city that effortlessly blends tradition with modernity, making it very unique. In Sheung Wan, intimate bars with live music and artisanal cocktails create a cosy atmosphere, while Central pulses with energy from its lively nightclubs. The contrast between the traditional and contemporary is also seen in the architecture, with towering skyscrapers sitting alongside ancient temples showcasing a skyline that is a wonder to behold. Hong Kong caters to all facets of the LGBTQ+ community, ensuring everyone finds something that resonates with them.

Japan puts a very different spin on a ski holiday.

And there’s plenty of choice when it comes to where you ski. From Hokkaido’s famous powder to the hot spring villages of Nagano, the easy Tokyo connections of Niigata, and the winter landscapes of Tohoku, each region offers its own reason to head to the mountains.

Why you should consider Thailand during green season

02 October 2026

When most people think of Thailand, they picture the dry, busy months - the packed beaches, the long queues at temples, the peak-season prices. But, outside of these peak months, Thailand’s green season reveals a softer, more atmospheric side of the country. The landscapes deepen in colour, the pace eases, and familiar places begin to feel more spacious, from temple courtyards and hillside trails to palm-fringed beaches.
