There are so many fabulous international destinations to choose from when planning your honeymoon. We’re going to help you decide by showing you our ultimate destinations and the best that each city has to offer. Where to stay, what to do, and how to make your honeymoon as memorable as possible.
Let’s start with a city close to our hearts. It’s iconic, has a long gay history, and is on the bucket list of every international traveller. Where else but Sydney?!
So many factors to consider when choosing a hotel. You want to stay somewhere that is LGBT friendly, has a great location that’s central and easy to move around from, and somewhere that feels like an experience. We recommend Park Hyatt Sydney. Iconic location and the most spectacular view, awesome rooftop pool and spa with panoramic city skyline, spectacular dining… this is a 5 star stay in every way imaginable. Read more about Park Hyatt Sydney here.
So now you’re in the harbour city, what is there to do? Climb the Harbour Bridge! If your are looking for a magical experience that is uniquely Sydney, this is everything and more. Day or night, it’s adventurous, historic and picturesque. And what better photo to send to loved ones back home than that iconic shot of the newlyweds on top of the bridge?! Read up about this awesome experience here.
Sydney always has a roster of musicals playing at major venues around the city – eg. State Theatre, Capitol, Lyric, Theatre Royal, the iconic Sydney Opera House. Check out what’s playing during your stay and treat yourself to a night at the theatre. Want some inspo? We loved the lavish production of Moulin Rouge at the Capitol Theatre, the magic of Disney’s Mary Poppins at the Lyric Theatre, and the glamour of Phantom Of The Opera at Sydney Opera House.
Fancy a meal after the show? You can’t go past Chin Chin. The food is to die for! Funky vibes and the most delicious Asian fusion dishes. The flavour and detail in each item on their menu is off the charts. Take a closer look here.
Wanna go out dancing? You have to hit Sydney’s iconic Gay strip, Oxford Street. This is home of Sydney’s gay bars and clubs, where you can see drag every night of the week. Dip and twirl on the dance floor, watch a show, try your hand at karaoke – the choice is yours! We recommend bar hopping between legendary venues like The Oxford Hotel, Universal, Stonewall, Palms, The Colombian, Ching-a-lings, The Beresford… there’s something for everyone.
The best time to be in town is during Mardi Gras season – Sydney’s gay festival. Endless parties, arts and culture, gay movie festival, and of course the huge night-time street parade and after party. There’s no surprise Sydney was chosen as host city for World Pride 2023.
Check out the events taking place during Sydney World Pride here.
World Pride 2023 celebrates the 50th anniversary of the first Gay Pride week, the 45th anniversary of the Mardi Gras parade and the 5th anniversary of marriage equality in Australia. What better place to celebrate your marriage? Honeymoon in Sydney!
