Most gay friendly caribbean islands

All refreshing, all inspiring, all fabulous! Here's our roundup of the best gay friendly island in the world! When we think of island living, we picture Amanda Seyfried in Mamma Mia rolling around on a golden beach, gazing out onto the impossibly clear ocean, whilst dramatically singing ABBA next to a gorgeous man. Our singing is embarrassingly off key for one thing….

The Caribbean conjures images in our minds of lackadaisical lying on hammocks between palm trees, cocktail of choice in hand, with but one care in the world: relaxation. The region of the Americas is composed of over islands, each and every one surrounded by pristine waters, flour-white sands, and reefs just teeming with tropical sea life. Embrace the prospect of becoming a citizen, not just a visitor, and contribute to positive change in the Caribbean while enjoying the picturesque landscapes and warm hospitality. Thankfully, as times change, many Caribbean islands are opening their arms to gay travelers.

Well, we're glad you asked! We assess the most gay friendly places in the Caribbean and how safe they are as a vacation destination for LGBTQ travelers. The Caribbean is a region of the Americas located southeast of the Gulf of Mexico. However, certain areas of the Caribbean are also infamous for their conservative politics and anti-gay laws.

As travelers become more judicious with their cash and PTO, I regularly find myself assessing how truly queer-friendly and safe a destination is before recommending it to others, or planning a trip myself. The Caribbean is one region I return again and again. Gay marriage is, therefore, legal in St. Barth, widely celebrated, and you will find lots of queer locals and ex-pats alike overtly integrated into society — this is a place where queerness doesn't have to hide.
