Romantic scenery, luxurious leisure resorts, as well as progressive local policies or open-minded attitudes, have made French Polynesia, Australia, Cape Town, Switzerland, Paris, and the UK among the most popular gay honeymoon destinations, allowing LGBT (an acronym for lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgender people) individuals to enjoy recognized marriage relationships and sweet, romantic honeymoons.

French Polynesia
When France passed the Marriage Equality Act this year, French Polynesia also became a popular destination for LGBT weddings and honeymoons. Strolling along white sandy beaches, the soft sand soothes the body and mind of travelers, while the crystal-clear blue waters and stunning resort views bring great satisfaction to couples. At Le Méridien Bora Bora, you can even fully enjoy your time together in overwater bungalows.

Australia
Benefiting from LGBT-themed films such as Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and Muriel’s Wedding, as well as Sydney’s vibrant gay scene, Australia has become a highly popular travel destination for the gay community. The sunlit vineyards, vast inland deserts, open-minded and forward-thinking cities, and the fascinating underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef are all perfect choices for couples to explore hand in hand and share warm moments together.

Cape Town
Compared to other African countries that prohibit or discriminate against gay marriage, South Africa was the first in the region to legalize same-sex marriage, and gay couples can also adopt children. This makes Cape Town another excellent option for a gay honeymoon. The local Cape Grace hotel even offers thoughtful gifts such as handmade chocolates for honeymooning couples, making this second-largest city in South Africa more approachable.

Switzerland
Although Switzerland also recognizes same-sex marriage, it was the first country in the world to acknowledge gay marriage through a public referendum rather than government legislation. Coming to Switzerland, you don’t need to worry about what to do at all. Whether it’s taking a scenic train ride to admire the alpine landscape, cruising on a lake boat to experience the charm of mountain villages from the water, or enjoying a delicious cheese fondue, it guarantees an unforgettable sweet time for the couple.
