Go on a luxury ski holiday in the stunning mountains of Canada and enjoy some fantastic apres-ski options before curling up by a cosy fire in your very own log cabin. Mavel at the beautiful Northern Lights sparkling in the night sky above Iceland, explore the fjords and warm up in a luxurious thermal spa.

There are lots of amazing LGBTQ+ friendly travel destinations, but one of our very favourites is Fiji. From the soft waterfalls in tropical rainforests to the stunning stretches of coconut-strewn beaches, Fiji is the ultimate place to relax and unwind on a luxury holiday. There are some incredible exclusive private hotels which provide quiet luxury to the discerning traveller, where rest and relaxation take priority.

If you’re looking for more of a party vibe, Palma de Mallorca is an incredible city, one which has a strong Moorish influence that can be seen across its architecture, cuisine and culture. With 300 days of sunshine each year, there’s no bad time to visit this place with its wonderful blending of the old world with the new.

Escapes by BFP recommendations

Where you’re looking to go and the things you’d like to do when you get there have a big impact on the best time to travel to various destinations around the world. Some locations are amazing year-round while in others, there’s definitely a better time of year for exploring.

New Zealand and Australia are stunning in the springtime, before the temperatures soar in the summer. Some locations, like the poles, are only accessible at certain times of year, so it’s important to look into this ahead of selecting your holiday destination.

Wherever you want to go, our team of experts can support you in finding the perfect time, best hotels and most incredible activities to enjoy when you’re there.

Best time of year to visit LGBTQ+

December to February

Summer in New Zealand and Australia is a great time to visit if you’re hoping to make the most of the amazing watersports opportunities. If you’ve always dreamt of spending Christmas on the beach, this could be the destination for you.
If you’re looking for snow, this is an amazing time to visit Canda and make the most of the incredible skiing and snowboarding opportunities there.

March to May

Thailand is lovely in March, with warm, dry, settled weather throughout the country. This is a wonderful time for exploring, as well as spending time on the beach.
Springtime sees fabulous displays of flowers across the European countryside, and April and May are the loveliest time of year to visit Italy as the weather is warm, the flowers are out but the crowds of tourists who come in summer are still a few months off. It’s a fantastic time to visit Portugal and Greece as well as the weather is perfect for exploring.

June to August

Wintertime in South Africa is cool but not cold, so if you’re looking to do lots of outdoor exploring, this is the best time to go. It’s also when large animals are easiest to spot as the grasses turn yellow and die back. Whale watching season begins in July and continues throughout August as these magnificent creatures swim into the warmer waters round South Africa to give birth.

September to November

Fiji is glorious in September, with settled weather and endless sunshine. October sees wine making time across Italy, with some incredible local festivals and events to enjoy.
In Iceland, your chance of seeing the Northern Lights improves from November, and they will continue to be frequently visible through to February.
