1. Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Why It’s Great
Puerto Vallarta is consistently one of the top LGBTQ-friendly destinations in Latin America. The Zona Romántica neighborhood is vibrant with LGBTQ bars, nightlife, and culture. The beaches, local culture, cuisine, and hospitality are warm and inclusive.

Top Resorts for Honeymooners

2. Thailand (Phuket, Koh Samui, Chiang Mai, etc.)

Why It’s Great
Thailand legalized same-sex marriage effective January 2025, making 2026 one of the first full years of legal equality in Southeast Asia. The culture in many tourist areas is very accepting, and hospitality sectors are increasingly LGBTQ-friendly. Resorts often participate in the Go Thai Be Free initiative which promotes inclusivity.

3. Mykonos & Santorini, Greece

Why It’s Great
Greece remains one of Europe’s most LGBTQ-friendly destinations, particularly the islands. Mykonos has long been celebrated for its vibrant gay nightlife, inclusive beach clubs, and luxury hospitality. Santorini offers romance via dramatic sunsets, cliff-side views, and quiet but sumptuous hotels. For 2026, availability has improved and many resorts are positioning explicitly as welcoming and romantic for queer couples.

4. Curaçao

Why I’m obsessed with Curaçao in 2026
Curaçao is like the Caribbean’s artsy little sibling—colorful, vibrant, and unapologetically LGBTQ+ friendly. You’ll find rainbow-painted streets in Willemstad, beach clubs that know how to party, and some of the best snorkeling in the region. It’s romance + fun + inclusivity wrapped into one sunny island.

• Baoase Luxury Resort – Ultra-luxury villas and suites with private pools and butler service. If you want to feel like royalty on your honeymoon, this is the spot. Starting around $3000/night.

• Corendon Mangrove Beach Resort – Breezy, all-inclusive vibes right on the water. Chill at the swim-up bar, snorkel nearby reefs, then retreat to your private space. Perfect if you want lively energy without giving up comfort. Starting around $300/night. 

5. Malta 

Why Malta is a gem
This tiny island nation punches way above its weight. Malta is consistently ranked as one of the most LGBTQ-friendly countries in Europe, and it’s equal parts ancient charm and coastal romance. Think medieval streets for hand-in-hand strolling, cliffside sunsets that feel straight out of a movie, and boutique hotels that mix old-world elegance with modern luxury.

Top Resorts for Honeymooners

• The Phoenicia Malta (Valletta) – Historic, elegant, and right at the entrance to Valletta. It’s classic luxury with a side of grandeur, perfect for couples who love a little old-world charm. Starting around $500/night.

• Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz (Gozo) – A serene, spa-centric hideaway on Malta’s quieter sister island. Expect slower mornings, jaw-dropping sunsets, and plenty of pampering. Starting around $200/night.

• Hotel Rosselli – A modern boutique choice in the heart of Valletta. It’s intimate, stylish, and you can also arrange in room massages. Starting around $400/night. 

Your honeymoon shouldn’t just be another trip—it should be the trip. The one where you sip champagne in a private pool, watch sunsets that feel straight out of a rom-com, and know you’re in a place that celebrates your love exactly as it is.
