While there are many all-inclusive resorts that welcome the LGBTQ community, there are some that go above and beyond to ensure that you feel comfortable and safe. A great way to find LGBTQ safe accommodations is to reference the IGLTA's (International Gay and Lesbian Travel Association) database. The IGLTA is the world's leading network of LGBTQ+ welcoming tourism businesses, and has been leading the charge for equality and safety within LGBTQ+ tourism industry since 1983. IGLTA's members include LGBTQ+ friendly accommodations, transport, destinations, service providers, travel agents, tour operators, events and travel media located in over 80 countries.

With the help of the IGLTA, we've compiled a list of our favorite LGBTQ-friendly resorts around the world.
