What could be more refreshing to the soul after a period that’s tested our spirits and tried our patience?

So what are the must-see spots for your post-pandemic luxury gay travel trips? Here’s a list of our favorite luxury gay travel destinations — places where you can immerse yourself in a new culture, relax and recharge, and revel in the fact that you’re somewhere (anywhere!) else.
Destination #1: Tahiti and French Polynesia
Our final recommendation for an unforgettable luxury gay travel destination? The paradise-on-earth waters and islands of Tahiti and French Polynesia. Trek your way through a rejuvenating island excursion, from the historic sights of Tahiti (of Captain Cook and Mutiny on the Bounty fame) and the secluded beauty of Bora Bora to the laid-back pace of Huahine and the crystal-clear waters of Taha’a. After a year-plus of quarantine, this little slice of paradise is exactly what a traveler’s soul needs.
Must-see spot: The island of Moorea features some of the more spectacular sights in the world, with jagged green volcanic peaks and a stunning blue lagoon surrounded by white sands surrounded by a lush, verdant natural backdrop. Another extraordinary spot on Moorea? The bustling downtown market is called “Le Marche,” full of local treasures, delicious fruits, and plenty of surprises.

Destination #2: The Antarctic
For a genuinely thrilling — and unique — luxury gay travel expedition in the post-pandemic world, a journey to Antarctica might be just what you need. A continent filled with magnificent natural beauty and some of the world’s most captivating wildlife, traveling to Antarctica in true style offers an unbeatable experience like no other in the world. Glaciers, penguins, whales, icebergs, and more — there’s enough wonder on this trek to the edge of the world to last a lifetime and more.

On this bold voyage, you’ll be able to witness the northernmost point of the “White Continent” and the South Shetland Islands, along with the petrel and albatross birds that dot the crystal-clear sky. Along with that, you could glimpse humpback whales, hourglass dolphins, and other marvels of nature through the Passage’s icy waters.
