In partnership with

From Dunes to Disco Dungeons in Maspalomas, Spain

Maspalomas is where the gays go to play! And the Gran Canarian city can also feel a touch intimidating to new visitors looking to slide themselves into the action. Clothing-optional specialists Everything to Sea’s Naked Canary Island Villa offers the perfect solution. Their clothing-optional luxury mansion has everything set up for a week of bliss meets no-holds-barred fun with like-minded — not to mention, naked — men, including a Canarian patio, sauna, Jacuzzi, Bavarian wine cellar, and even a “Disco Dungeon” — a winning combo of dance floor and dungeon. Every day, you’ll have exciting excursions to choose from, such as nights out on the town, camel rides across the desert, visits to local villages, and — of course — escapades into Maspalomas’s famous sand dunes. If you join them on April 24-30, 2025, you can springboard into Maspalomas’ Pride the following week, or enter the villa on August 21-27 and enjoy Maspalomas during its hottest season — and also enjoy all the speedo-wearing hotties that come out with the heat.

Art, Architecture, Alcohol and Waffles on Our September 2025 European Cruise

Northern Europe has its fair share of beauty, culture, fine cuisine and even finer wine. On September 05-12, 2025, we’re setting sail with Virgin Voyages from Portsmouth, England, to explore this compelling region of Europe. Amsterdam is where it all begins - a city known for its canals, art, and animated nightlife. After an overnight stay, we’ll slide down the Northern Sea to Belgium’s culturally rich capital city, Bruges, before making one last stop in Bordeaux - a French city full of architectural wonders and the world capital for wine! If you’re sailing solo, you won’t be alone for long as our gay group trips come with group dinners, private parties, games, shore excursions, and more. Aboard a Virgin Voyages cruise, you can also expect live entertainment for those hard days at sea, as well as wild-themed parties - including the infamously fun Scarlet Night. Be sure to pack some red - clothes or wine that is!

Gay Travel Guide to Cape Town

Cape Town is breathtaking from above. Hell, it’s breathtaking from all angles and has to be a contender for one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Flanked by the impressive Table Mountain, the city curves around the coast like a loving hug, which fits with the city’s moniker: “the mother city.” Top travel authorities like The Guardian, The New York Times, and TripAdvisor have named Cape Town a top destination, and we couldn’t agree more. It’s an incredibly diverse, gay-friendly city and it will blow you away with its beauty, the welcoming attitude of its residents, and the pure range of attractions and outdoor activities available, from hiking to shark diving to helicopter rides to wine drinking—yes, that counts as an outdoor activity if you do it at one of the many wineries surrounding Cape Town.
