With high marks from Travel Channel UK and Passport Magazine, this male-only, clothing-optional resort has been revered as the best gay resort in the world, and with good reason. The awards keep racking up at Island House. For guests requiring amped-up amenities to woo their lovers, several rooms are equipped with cool features like wet bars, high cathedral ceilings and 2-man whirlpool bathtubs that bring on the romance. Most visitors prefer to unwind to the fullest - which includes hanging out at the clothing-optional pool deck. This popular resort exclusively for men is in the heart of the “gay” district on historic Fleming Street.
The swimming pool becomes a gay-friendly scene with happy hour cocktails, and the well-appointed guestrooms are comfortably chic with room rates that don’t break the bank. Just a few blocks from the famous Duval Street, the gay-owned Alexander’s Guesthouse is a historic, restored mansion surrounded by lush, tropical gardens.
