Proud To Be TravelGay Approved!

In Barbados, homosexuality is legal, but like many places in the world, that hasn't always been the case. As attitudes and laws evolve, at Ocean Hotels Barbados, we believe in everyone's right to be themselves, and to travel wherever they choose.

That's why O2 Beach Club & Spa is proudly partnering with TravelGay, the world’s most visited LGBTQIA+ travel and lifestyle website, with 12 million global users and over 1 million+ views a month, which recommends safe and gay-friendly venues only.

As our island continues to focus on becoming a welcoming destination for the LGBTQIA+ community, TravelGay says that "Christ Church is generally known for its open and accepting attitude... While the social and legal environment can change over time, Barbados has been making strides towards more inclusive policies and attitudes. The country's efforts to become a republic and its progressive outlook offer promising prospects for LGBT rights."

We hope to make a difference by offering an authentic and respectful space in paradise to the gay community when they choose to visit Barbados, and you'll see our commitment in the TravelGay badge on every page of our hotel website O2 Beach Club & Spa.

Ocean Hotels Barbados’ Sales & Marketing Manager, Jacqui McDermott, says: “We’re super proud to embark on our journey with TravelGay, because visibly welcoming LGBTQIA+ travellers underlines the company’s philosophy of ‘Your stay. Your way’. At Ocean Hotels, we want all our guests to relax, be themselves and make lifelong memories on our beautiful and inclusive island.”
