Why French Polynesia Is Perfect for Couples Trips, Proposals & Romance

A journey where love deepened, bonds were formed, and one couple said “yes.”

Some trips are about escape. Others are about connection. Our couples group trip to French Polynesia was deeply rooted in both—and it quickly became one of those journeys that stays with you long after you return home.

From the lush landscapes of Tahiti to the crystal-clear lagoons of Moorea, this experience was designed for couples seeking romance, relaxation, culture, and intentional time together—all while traveling in community.

Tahiti: A Warm Welcome to Island Life

We began our journey in Tahiti, staying at the stunning Hilton Tahiti, where island elegance met modern comfort.

On arrival day, couples were welcomed with a sunset cocktail and appetizer hour, setting the tone for the week ahead. The Ladies Touch swag bags and intentional gifts were a hit, and from the very first evening, laughter and warmth filled the air as couples settled into island time.

Exploring Tahiti’s Natural Beauty

Our Tahiti island tour showcased the island’s breathtaking diversity. We visited Matavai Bay, where dramatic views meet a striking black sand beach, then continued on to Venus Point, the lush Faarumai Waterfalls, and the vibrant Papeete Market.

The waterfalls especially left us in awe—lush, powerful, and serene all at once. It was the perfect backdrop for couples photos and quiet moments of appreciation.

That evening, we gathered for a welcome dinner, reflecting on the day and soaking in the magic of being present together in such a beautiful place.

Catamaran Vibes & Breaking the Ice

Day three was all about ease. Couples enjoyed a relaxed day at leisure before boarding a sunset catamaran cruise—an experience that truly brought the group together.

With music flowing from island reggae to old-school jams, this cruise gently broke down any remaining shyness. Dancing, laughter, and shared joy filled the deck as bonds deepened naturally.

Moorea: Sacred Moments & Lagoon Dreams

We transferred to Moorea and checked into our overwater bungalows at the Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort & Spa, where overwater bungalows and turquoise lagoons set the stage for the next chapter of our trip.

That evening unfolded into one of the most emotional and unforgettable moments of the trip: a surprise French Polynesian blessing ceremony held right on the beach.

The ceremony was led by a tahu’a (high priest) and included purification with coconut water and auti leaves, exchanging flower crowns, receiving Tahitian names, and all accompanied by Polynesian music and dance.

There were tears, laughter, dancing, and a beautiful dinner filled with fresh seafood, meats, pastas, and island flavors. It was a night that honored love in the most meaningful way.

Lagoon Adventures Like a Local

Our Moorea Miti Lagoon Cruise was pure joy. Led by the hilarious and unforgettable Captain Will, couples experienced Moorea from a local perspective—catching coconuts, learning about island plants, making fresh ceviche Polynesia-style, and swimming alongside lagoon sharks and manta rays.

We laughed nonstop, learned cultural traditions (including how local women wear pareos), and truly embraced the spirit of the lagoon. It was one of those days where everything feels effortless and alive.

The magic of Moorea reached new heights when one of our couples planned a private romantic proposal dinner overlooking the lagoon. Surrounded by island beauty and love, she said YES, and the entire group celebrated this unforgettable moment together. It was pure joy—and a testament to why couples choose French Polynesia for proposals, vow renewals, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Congrats KD & Ariel!

Island Evenings & Polynesian Rhythm

One afternoon, couples gathered around their overwater bungalows for music, deep conversations, and reflections on life, love, and creating opportunities. It was intimate, empowering, and grounding—a reminder of why traveling in community matters.

That evening, we enjoyed a Polynesian dinner show, complete with mesmerizing performances. The energy, the drums, the movement—no one could look away. A few travelers even tried to match the dancers’ lightning-fast hip movements, creating plenty of laughs.

A Heartfelt Farewell

As the trip came to a close, emotions ran high. Our final evening was spent at a departure dinner in town, sharing gratitude, stories, and heartfelt goodbyes. It was important to remind everyone just how special they were—and how they had co-created something truly unforgettable.

The next day, couples departed for home with happy hearts, deeper connections, and a new travel family.

Sailing the Mediterranean with LGBTQ Women | Virgin Voyages Cruise

Some journeys are about the places you visit. Others are about the people you become along the way.

Our Mediterranean group cruise for LGBTQ women aboard Virgin Voyages’ Resilient Lady was the perfect blend of culture, connection, celebration, and carefree luxury. From the ancient streets of Athens to the sun-soaked coasts of Spain, this journey reminded us why intentional group travel creates memories that last far beyond the final port.

Athens, Greece: History, Views & A Perfect Welcome

Our journey began in Athens, where several travelers arrived early to immerse themselves in the birthplace of democracy and mythology. We gathered for a welcome meet & greet cocktail hour at the rooftop of our pre-city hotel, surrounded by sweeping views of the Acropolis glowing at sunset.

With appetizers, cocktails, and laughter flowing freely, it was the perfect introduction to what this experience would be about: connection, celebration, and shared discovery.

The following day, we explored Athens on a guided city tour, visiting iconic landmarks like the Acropolis, Parthenon, and Olympic Stadium. Wandering through the charming streets of Plaka, we soaked up the city’s energy before enjoying lunch together at Ella Urban Greek Cuisine — a delicious pause filled with conversation and camaraderie.

Setting Sail: Welcome Aboard Virgin Voyages

On embarkation day, we boarded Virgin Voyages’ Resilient Lady at the Athens pier — ready to trade ancient ruins for modern luxury at sea.

That evening, we hosted a private Ladies Touch welcome cocktail hour, complete with a blue-and-white theme inspired by Greece. We celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, and our frequent travelers, honoring the women who continue to choose to explore the world in community. It set the tone for a voyage rooted in joy, recognition, and belonging.

Mykonos: Queer-Friendly Culture & Island Flavor

Our first port of call was Mykonos, where we enjoyed a private group town and tastings tour led by a queer local guide. From hidden corners of the island to vibrant stories of Mykonos’ inclusive history, the experience felt personal, intentional, and welcoming.

Lunch was at one of our favorite local spots, Souvlaki Story, where we toasted with ouzo and shared one of those meals where the food tastes even better because of the company. Mykonos reminded us why it remains a beloved destination for LGBTQ travelers worldwide.

Sea Days: Music, Laughter & Unfiltered Joy

Our days at sea were anything but quiet. One night, we sang at the top of our lungs and danced through decades at Klub Rubiks, Virgin Voyages’ iconic 80s-themed party. The energy was electric — carefree, nostalgic, and joyful.

Other sea days brought us together again for private Ladies Touch cocktail hours, group dinner, karaoke and game night. A spirited round of Outburst had us laughing so hard our cheeks hurt, proving once again that the best moments often happen when you least expect them.

Italy & Spain: Choose Your Own Adventure

When we docked in Sicily, Italy, some travelers ventured ashore while others chose to stay onboard and enjoy the ship’s incredible amenities — a reminder that this trip was designed to honor freedom of choice.

In Palma de Mallorca, we explored the city on a private tapas and city tour, instantly falling in love with the island’s charm. Palma left such an impression that many of us agreed it deserved a longer stay next time.

Our stop in Valencia, Spain brought a show-stopping group experience: a gypsy show paired with tapas. The singer’s powerful voice gave us chills, especially during a passionate rendition of Volare in true Gitano style. That evening, we gathered once more at the Sip Lounge onboard for a champagne toast — celebrating new friendships, deep connections, and unforgettable memories.

A Mediterranean Farewell to Remember

As we disembarked, we carried more than souvenirs home with us. We left with inside jokes, shared stories, new friendships, and full hearts.

This Mediterranean cruise for LGBTQ women was about more than the destinations. It was about traveling safely, intentionally, and joyfully — without explanation or compromise.

Dubai to Maldives: A Journal from Our Ladies Touch Adventure

Some trips stay in your heart a little longer, and our Dubai + Maldives journey was exactly that kind of experience. From the moment we landed in Dubai, the energy was vibrant, modern, and full of possibility. And guiding us through every highlight, every cultural gem, and every hidden corner was our incredible private guide, Hind—born in Egypt, a Dubai local for more than a decade, and truly the heartbeat of our week.

We instantly fell in love with her.
Her humor. Her warmth. Her knowledge.
And especially the way she cared for our group like family.

By the end of the trip, we weren’t just taking lessons in culture… Hind had us learning how to belly dance to Arabic music on a yacht. That’s the energy she brought—joyful, effortless, and unforgettable.

Exploring Dubai — A Mix of Modern Glamour & Deep Culture

Dubai welcomed us with shimmering skylines and a city built on imagination. We explored some of the most iconic landmarks in the world—skyscraper views, futuristic architecture, and luxury experiences that showed us the modern soul of the UAE. Then we crossed the creek by abra boat and stepped into Old Dubai’s spice-scented streets, wandering the Gold and Spice Souks like travelers in another era.

And of course… the desert.
Nothing compares to a heritage desert experience. The rolling dunes at sunset, the stillness, the traditions, the sense of being far removed from everything and deeply connected to the moment.

Our group bonded in the laughter, the heat, the shared awe of it all.

Flying Dresses & Yacht Vibes — A Day Made for Queens

One of the most unforgettable moments of this Dubai travel experience was our Flying Dress photoshoot. Watching the group step into vibrant gowns that flowed in the wind—standing tall against the city’s skyline—was breathtaking. Every solo shot looked like a magazine cover, and the group photos were powerful, joyful, and full of personality.

Later, we cruised across the Dubai Marina on our private yacht with our own DJ spinning the soundtrack of the day. Music, ocean breeze, sunshine, dancing, and the most beautiful skyline views—it felt like a celebration of life and sisterhood.

Right there on the deck, Hind gave us the most fun, unfiltered belly dance lesson, and the entire travel crew laughed, danced, and lived in pure joy.

Dubai Nights, Good Food & Good Company

Throughout our stay, we indulged in Dubai’s incredible restaurant scene—everything from global cuisine to rooftop cocktails high above the city. We shared stories, toasted to new adventures, and soaked in every moment of this luxury group trip for LGBTQ women. Every night felt like a celebration, every gathering a reminder of why community-centered travel matters.

A Dream Escape to the Maldives

Flying into the Maldives felt like stepping inside a screensaver—crystal-clear turquoise water, powder-soft sand, and endless horizon lines. The moment our group arrived, the island welcomed us with music, warmth, and that laid-back magic only the Maldives can offer.

Our overwater bungalows gave us a peaceful, ocean-front sanctuary. We woke up to the sound of the water, swam out directly into the lagoon, and let the days move at an island pace.

One morning we set out on a snorkeling adventure—waves a little wild, energy a little chaotic—but once we were in the water, we were rewarded with the most colorful sea life. It was surreal, calming, and full of wonder.

The rest of our days were spent on the beach, soaking in the sun, enjoying the Maldivian hospitality, eating great food, and savoring long, heartfelt conversations in the ocean. This portion of the trip felt grounding and nourishing—the perfect balance after the fast-paced fun of Dubai.

Closing Out a Beautiful Journey

On our final night in the Maldives, we gathered for a lively farewell dinner filled with music, dancing, and belly laughs—one of those nights where you don’t want the trip to end. We toasted to friendship, adventure, safety, and the incredible bond created when LGBTQ women travel together.

When we hugged everyone goodbye the next morning, it wasn’t just the end of a vacation.
It was the end of a beautiful chapter—one we’ll carry with us forever.

Dubai dazzled us.
The Maldives healed us.
And together, they created an unforgettable experience we can’t wait to return to.

Exploring Egypt With Ladies Touch Travel: A Journey Through Cairo, Luxor & Ancient Wonders for LGBTQ Women

With our camel friends at the Giza Plateau, Egypt

Egypt is a destination that lives in the imagination long before you arrive — the golden temples, the mighty Nile, the Pyramids of Giza rising like giants from the desert. But experiencing Egypt with Ladies Touch Travel takes this bucket-list adventure to a whole new level. Our Egypt group trip blends luxury, culture, community, and once-in-a-lifetime moments curated specifically for LGBTQ women who want a safe, unforgettable, elevated travel experience.

From five-star host hotels to private access at world-famous sites, here’s a look inside our unforgettable week exploring Cairo and Luxor.

Luxury Stays in Cairo & Luxor: Sofitel Nile El Gezirah & Al Moudira Resort

Because your home away from home matters, we selected two of our all-time favorite Egyptian properties:

Sofitel Nile El Gezirah – Cairo

A stunning 5-star riverside stay with sweeping Nile views, outstanding service, and modern luxury. Located on Zamalek Island, it’s the perfect base for exploring Cairo’s history and nightlife.

Al Moudira Resort & Spa – Luxor

A boutique palace-style oasis on the West Bank of Luxor. The architecture, gardens, courtyards, and warm hospitality make it one of the most magical environments in all of Egypt — and one of our top picks in Northern Africa.

Both hotels embody elegance, comfort, and a touch of mystique… perfectly aligned with the Ladies Touch experience.

Day-by-Day Journey Through Egypt

Day 1 – Arrival in Cairo + Welcome Dinner Cruise

Travelers were greeted with white-glove service, including visa support and VIP airport assistance. After check-in at the Sofitel, we eased into our adventure with a welcome Maxim Dinner Cruise on the Nile — beautiful views, delicious cuisine, and that first spark of community connection.

Day 2 – Egyptian Museum, Islamic Quarter & Khan El Khalili

We explored the legendary Egyptian Museum, home to thousands of artifacts, followed by lunch and a deep dive into the Islamic Quarter. The day ended wandering through the historic Khan El Khalili Bazaar, a colorful maze of spices, crafts, jewelry, and treasures.

Day 3 – Giza Pyramids, Camel Ride & Private Sphinx Access

This was a core memory day.

Ladies Touch Travel arranged private white-glove experiences our travelers will never forget:
✔️ Private drive around the Giza Plateau

Day 4 – Fly to Luxor + Karnak, Khonso & Luxor Temple

We headed to Luxor and checked into the breathtaking Al Moudira Resort. After a beautiful welcome, we visited the remarkable temples of Karnak, Khonsu, and Luxor Temple — architectural masterpieces glowing under the Egyptian sun.

Day 5 – Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Felucca Lunch

One of the richest archaeological days of the trip:

• The Valley of the Kings (including royal tombs)

• The iconic Temple of Hatshepsut, honoring Egypt’s great female pharaoh

• A peaceful felucca sail on the Nile — with one of the most magical LT moments of the entire week…

During sunset, our very own songstress Peaches and Bronze traveler performed her favorite blues live on the deck. Surrounded by river breezes, soft light, and sisterhood — it created an atmosphere that brought some travelers to tears. These are the moments that make Ladies Touch Travel truly unforgettable.

Day 6 – Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Ride + Free Day

At sunrise, we soared over Luxor in a hot air balloon, gliding above temples, farmland, and the Nile — an experience many described as life-changing. The rest of the day was free to relax, shop, enjoy the pool, or explore at your own pace.

Early morning for a beautiful sunrise balloon ride!

Day 7 – Depart for the U.S.

After breakfast, we said our goodbyes to Egypt — richer in memories, friendships, and the kind of joy that only comes from traveling with community.
