Luxury LGBTQ+ Travel, Personally Hosted From Start to Finish
At Hermes Holidays, personal service is not a slogan. From your very first enquiry to the moment you arrive, you are dealing directly with the people who designed your trip and will be there to welcome you personally and host you every step of the way. Founded in 2016 by Kyle Olsen, Hermes Holidays creates luxury LGBTQ+ small group holidays for travellers who want style, comfort, connection and a holiday that feels beautifully taken care of.
Meet Kyle
Kyle has spent more than 25 years working in travel, leading more than 250 trips across Europe, Australia and beyond. Before creating Hermes Holidays, he worked with some of the world’s most recognised travel brands, sharing his love of travel with thousands of guests from around the world. That experience taught him what makes a holiday truly work: good pacing, great people, thoughtful details, time to enjoy yourself and hosts who know exactly when to lead and when to step back. That is the thinking behind every Hermes Holidays itinerary.
Hosted by Kyle and Wayne
Today, every Hermes Holidays trip is personally hosted by Kyle and his husband Wayne. There are no call centres, no handovers and no wondering who is actually in charge. We know our guests, we know our itineraries and we genuinely care about every detail. Our aim is simple: to do whatever it takes to give you the trip of a lifetime. All you need to do is arrive, unpack, relax and enjoy.
More Than a Holiday
Many of our guests travel with us again and again, and again. Some first joined us solo, some came with partners or friends, and many have now become part of the wider Hermes Holidays family. That is one of the things we love most. New guests are welcomed quickly, old friends reconnect, and the group becomes a huge part of what makes each trip so special. It is also one of the reasons so many people keep coming back.
Travel That Feels Safe, Stylish and Social
Hermes Holidays was created to give LGBTQ+ travellers a more welcoming and carefully considered way to travel. Yes, we definitely still like to party, but that is not our only focus and it is not what defines us. What sets Hermes Holidays apart is the care behind every trip: the places we choose, the pace we set, the people we bring together and the feeling that you can truly relax and enjoy yourself. You might be travelling solo, as a couple or with friends. Either way, you will instantly become part of our travel family.
Dream. Discover. Indulge.
Dream of somewhere beautiful.
Discover it in style.
Indulge in every moment.
That is Hermes Holidays.
