For more, check out our detailed gay travel guide to Fort Lauderdale. One of the things we love about the gay resorts we tried out in Fort Lauderdale is they have a “Happy Hour” every afternoon, which encourages more shy and introvert guests to socialise and make friends. Some are based near or by the beach, or further inland in the gay scene of Wilton Manors.
These resorts are “male-only” and usually clothing-optional. Some of the most notorious include the “Ed Lugo Resort”, “The Worthington”, “Grand Resort & Spa” (who you see sponsoring a lot of the Ru Paul Drag Race episodes) and the more upscale “Pineapple Point”. Stay in a male-only clothing-optional resortįort Lauderdale has many resorts targeted to gay men. We went to Wicked Manors and had an absolute blast: the entire neighborhood transformed into one massive Halloween gay street party with everyone dressed up: Wilton Manors is also the focal point of some super fun gay events like the Stonewall Pride in June and the “Wicked Manors” Halloween party every 31 October.
