Southern Delaware Welcomes LGBTQ Luxury Travelers

Southern Delaware is known for its miles of pristine Atlantic beaches, Culinary Coast™ dining, scenic beauty, outdoor adventures, arts, history, golf, festivals, and tax-free shopping. While it’s easy to put together a nostalgic and budget-friendly weekend getaway that’ll take you back to your childhood family vacations featuring quaint cottages, sun and surf, ice cream, boardwalk fries and rides, now that you’re all grown up and have more pocket money, it’s equally easy to enjoy all of the above and more while enjoying luxurious accommodations - some offering spa experiences – as well as delectable, inspired white linen dining in beautifully appointed eateries, shopping, and entertainment.

In fact, in Rehoboth Beach, Bethany Beach, and Lewes, luxury-seekers will easily find properties to suit, each offering unique experiences and vibes. One such property is The Bellmoor Inn and Spa in Rehoboth Beach, located downtown, just a short walk to the beach. This beautiful property’s website describes it best:

Beautifully reimagined for modern travelers seeking elegant surroundings and five-star service in “the nation’s summer capital,” The Bellmoor Inn & Spa strikes a rare balance between modern seaside inn and elegant historic hotel. Set just two blocks from Rehoboth Beach’s iconic boardwalk, it’s both a treasured family getaway and a luxurious home base for enjoying the beach town’s charming boutiques, restaurants, and galleries.

What else is there to do? Visitors love our tax-free shopping. Each of the area’s small towns offers singular shopping experiences thanks to the many unique boutique-style shops that line their streets. There are antique, vintage, and consignment shops sprinkled liberally throughout Southern Delaware. The area is also home to talented artists, artisans, and crafters and therefore to many small shops, galleries, and studios where their one-of-a-kind works are exhibited and sold. And, of course, there are more than 130 outlet stores lining Route 1 between Lewes and Rehoboth Beach. The best part? No sales tax! Entertainment is also abundant and a fabulous addition to any luxury getaway; our towns are brimming with large and small performance venues, including The Freeman Arts Pavilion, an open-air performing arts venue that offers diverse programming and national performing artists, and truly excellent community theaters including Clear Space Theatre in Rehoboth Beach, Possum Point Players in Georgetown, and the Milton Theatre.

The best part? The suggestions here for your lux weekend getaway to Southern Delaware are not weather-dependent and can be enjoyed year-round!
