The vacation should always be a nice memory, because after all, you can really relax there. For many, dates and sex are part of a good vacation. So why not combine the two? In this post we deal with the topic: Getting to know gay men on vacation. The whole thing is easier than you think.
Where can you get to know other gay men while on vacation?
On vacation (almost) everyone is more open-minded than in everyday life. I am always surprised how quickly you get into conversation with other gays when traveling. I have already met gay men on the beach, on the train or in the queue in front of the entry control at Abu Dhabi airport. At this moment I am always amazed at myself, because in everyday life I usually don’t feel like talking at all. On vacation, however, I always enjoy getting to know other travelers. Incidentally, you don’t just get to know singles on vacation: Many homosexual couples also want to break out of their togetherness. With this knowledge, your inhibitions when making contact should already decrease significantly.
If you still find it difficult to speak to other gay men while on vacation, I’ll share a few tips with you, some of which you cannot avoid talking to strangers!

Book gay group tours (not only for singles)
Probably the easiest way to get to know other gay men while on vacation is a gay group trip. At almost all tour operators that specialize in gay travel, you will find a selection of trips on which you will spend several days with other homosexual guys. Often these are active trips, for example:
- Hiking trips
- Cycling vacation
- Sailing trips
- Ski vacation
However, there are also sensual massage weekends or multi-day seminars that you can register for. On such group trips and events you inevitably come into contact with other gays!
Take your vacation to a gay hotspot
Certain vacation spots are particularly popular with gay men. There you will find gay beaches, gay bars and discos, parties and even men-only hotels only for gay men. The most popular hotspots for a gay vacation include:
- Gran Canaria
- Mykonos
- Sitges
- Ibiza
- Key West
- Fort Lauderdale
- Palm Springs
- Sylt
You can hardly avoid gay men in these places. You only have to speak to the guys yourself. With a little luck, you will also be spoken to by other gays! If you are using AdultFriendFinder so you can search for sexdates on your vacation.

Gay Dating Websites
You probably have the greatest chances if you use a gay dating app or a gay dating website. You can use this to search for like-minded people anywhere in the world. You will always find what you are looking for on these pages and after a short conversation you can make an appointment. We’ve already written about the best gay dating sites. Here is a brief overview of the best apps and portals.

Get to know other gay men in the gay hotel
Have you decided on one of the above-mentioned vacation spots as your travel destination? If you want to be on the safe side, book a gay hotel for your stay. Whether at the breakfast buffet, at the swimming pool or at the hotel bar: Here you are only met by gay men (ok, maybe some bisexuals smuggle themselves among the gays).
In Gran Canaria, Key West or Palm Springs you have a huge selection of gay hotels. But even on the North Sea island of Sylt (which is very popular with gay men) you will find an all-male guesthouse only for gays.
Meet other gays on the gay beach
You can find a gay stretch of beach at almost every vacation spot – even on the Baltic Sea! The best thing to do is to find out from Aunt Google before you travel to see if there is a beach near your accommodation where gay men like to meet. Sometimes you can find such beaches by accident. I happened to discover beautiful cruising beaches on Mallorca, in Italy (near Venice) or in Croatia!
