Best Destinations for LGBTQIA+ Romance Travel

At KT Travel & More, “Celebrate Love Through Travel” has no race, color, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. We believe every love story deserves a celebration as unique and beautiful as the couple behind it. As a destination wedding travel expert, I’m proud to support and advocate for inclusive planning—and that means helping LGBTQIA+ couples find resorts and destinations that are not just welcoming, but truly affirming.

If you’re planning a destination wedding or vow renewal and want to ensure your celebration is in a safe, joyful, and legally supportive location, here are some of the top LGBTQIA+ friendly destinations to consider!

1. Puerto Rico

No passport, no problem! Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, which means legal same-sex marriage, LGBTQIA+ protections, and no international travel stress. From the historic charm of Old San Juan to luxurious beachfront resorts, Puerto Rico offers vibrant culture and inclusive hospitality.

📌 Pro Tip: Host your wedding at a boutique hotel or resort in Condado or Dorado for stunning ocean views and a mix of Caribbean flair with modern elegance.

2. Costa Rica

Costa Rica became the first Central American country to legalize same-sex marriage in 2020—and it’s been celebrating love openly ever since. Known for eco-luxury resorts, volcanoes, and lush rainforests, Costa Rica is ideal for adventurous couples who want to combine their wedding with a one-of-a-kind honeymoon.

📌 Pro Tip: Book a resort in Guanacaste or Manuel Antonio for LGBTQIA+ friendly vibes, jaw-dropping views, and exceptional service.

3. Curaçao

A gem in the Southern Caribbean, Curaçao is one of the most LGBTQIA+ inclusive islands in the region. With its Dutch influence, charming architecture, and laid-back beaches, this destination is perfect for couples seeking something off the beaten path.

📌 Pro Tip: Look for resorts in the capital, Willemstad, or nearby boutique properties that offer intimate wedding packages and local charm.

4. St. Maarten / St. Martin

With its dual Dutch and French heritage, this island offers a welcoming atmosphere and a European flair. While same-sex marriage isn’t legally performed on the island, many resorts are inclusive and will host symbolic ceremonies with all the elegance and romance of a legal wedding.

📌 Pro Tip: Consider hosting a legal ceremony at home, then celebrating with a symbolic destination wedding that still gives you the experience of a lifetime.

5. Aruba

Aruba is known for its warm hospitality, clear blue waters, and active support of LGBTQIA+ visitors. While same-sex marriage is not legally performed on the island, many resorts openly celebrate LGBTQIA+ couples with symbolic ceremonies, private receptions, and custom packages.

📌 Pro Tip: Pair your Aruba wedding with a catamaran welcome cruise or off-road jeep tour to wow your guests.
