LGBTQ+ Safety Notice — RECENTLY DECRIMINALISED

Legal but with limited protections — social attitudes vary

Local law: High Court struck down the colonial-era law in December 2022; employment protections followed. One of the Eastern Caribbean's most welcoming islands, with an official Pride Month each June.

Safety guidance for visitors →

Do not disclose your orientation to hotel staff, drivers, or guides.
Avoid public displays of affection of any kind.
Stay at international-chain hotels (Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt) — they rarely interrogate guest arrangements.
Register with your embassy on arrival — consular help may be limited.
Share a daily check-in with someone trusted abroad.
Listings on this page are provided for harm reduction and informed travel decisions — not a recommendation to visit.
