The main benefit of kinky vacations is experience. For example, getting yourself on BDSM cruises and seeing other—probably more experienced—couples do their thing can provide you a fresh experience. Specifically, you may learn new plays that you can incorporate into your relationship.
Exploring different events can be soothing and enjoyable. Besides, BDSM is all about exploring your wildest fantasies. However, kinky vacations bring another dimension to the exploration of your kinks. This kind of vacation is just about trying out new things and enjoying the fun that comes with them.
BDSM getaways are perfect when the right hotels are taken. You should know that the regular hotels won’t provide the ideal environment for BDSM plays but you can count on BDSM hotels to deliver the goods. Below, we’ll talk about the best BDSM hotels out there:

You don’t get on a kinky cruise you’ll have to book it in advance. However, it’s not as straightforward as you might have thought. Notwithstanding, the booking process is not complicated once you know the right steps to take. Below are some booking tips for a seamless process:
Swinger cruises aside, there are opportunities to play aboard small vessels that are kinkier. Different boats have different BDSM events on different dates. Some events may be for one day and others say span more than a day. Below, we’ll discuss some boat parties and their event:

Getting on swinger cruises is the perfect way for sexually adventurous adults to perform all kinds of BDSM plays in a kink-friendly environment. While you and your partner can play with other couples on a swinger cruise, you can opt not to if that isn’t your thing.
Moreover, swinger cruises offer a wide range of options, including adults-only cruises, clothing-optional, BDSM playspaces, kinky education sessions, and onboard dungeons. Below, we’ll discuss the best swinger cruises that allow couples who like mingling to meet like-minded friends.

Moreover, the best BDSM resorts add exciting extras such as beaches, scenic sights, and other recreational facilities. Below, we’ll talk about some top-choice kinky resorts and leave you to make your choice.
The BDSM mansion—as the name hints—is specifically built for BDSM vacations and fetish holidays. Located in the Costa Almeria in Spain, the property is a haven of pleasure with an exceptional atmosphere for you and your partner to live out your sexual passions, secret obsessions, and erotic fantasies openly without any worry.

Frankly, BDSM hotels, kinky cruises, and BDSM resorts can’t always deliver the complete BDSM experience. Thankfully, dungeons bridge that gap exceptionally well. Below, we’ll discuss the best secret dungeons on offer:
The first dungeon in our lineup is the Secret Dungeon in London, UK. This dungeon lives up to its name thanks to its very private decking area that includes a covered hot tub for you and your partner to relax after your plays. Also, the LGBT-friendly facility features a large play spade, a media center, free WiFi, a kitchen, a bathroom, and more.

Let’s forget about specialist hotels, resorts, cruises, and dungeons for now, and let’s talk about you making the vacations for yourself. We’ll discuss some nice DIY BDSM vacations below:
There’s no need to travel miles away from home if there’s a nearby dungeon where you and your partner can explore your fantasies and fetishes. Besides the stress that comes with traveling a long distance, it costs more too. The smartest choice may be to opt for a nearby dungeon eventually.
Even though the typical dungeon is parked with various equipment, you’ll need to carry some tools yourself. You can invest in exciting BDSM wears such as the Lovehoney Boudoir Belle Cherry Quarter Cup Bra Set thanks to the versatility it provides.
The set includes a wet look fabric, a G-string set with O-ring detail and metallic stud, open cups for amazing boob exposure, an adjustable neck choker, and four adjustable garter straps. This product is all about giving you a complete BDSM experience.
Another way to plan your vacation is by you and your partner’s kinks. Are you both cool with Golden shower? A nearby hotel may be all you need to book. Or is your kink having sex with someone who’s not your partner. A nearby hotel can still take care of that.
Shopping travel is another vacation idea that you and your partner can explore. Take a ride around a new city away from home and buy any equipment that fits your kink. Such equipment may be a new bondage gear, the best clit clamps, a high-quality spanking paddle, and the best face strapon that you can find from a local shop. You can then try out the equipment in a local hotel.
How about a BDSM camping with your partner? You can decide to take your partner out to play outdoors. That can include getting down by the fire, under a tent, or on a secluded beach while you play under the stars.
Besides a nearby dungeon, you can also try out a nearby hotel that is not necessarily BDSM-related. Take hotel takes your mind off everything going on at home. Remember to take all your BDSM gear along on the adventure. A sex swing door jam kit can be added to the gear to add to the experience.
Do you have no idea what a sex swing door jam is? The Sportsheets Sex Swing Door Jam Kit seems like an excellent option according to several user reviews. The kit includes sturdy acrylic barbells, sturdy stirrups, and handles. Overall, the sex swing offers comfortable and exceptional support during upright intimacy. And it’s also easy to pack down.
Who says you can’t get kinky on the road? That would be an absolute lie. Pack up your gear in a portable bag and hit the road with your partner. Only your imagination and distance stand between where you go and what you will do.
There’s almost no limit to what you and your partner can explore. All you need to do is find the right ideas and you don’t need to worry too much about that as we’ll discuss some very exciting options below:
Why not take a break from your BDSM hotel and heighten the sensations? Visiting a sex museum can be all you need to for a complete kinky vacation. Find one around your location and head out to have a mind-blowing BDSM session.
By now, you’re not new to the suggestion of renting a dungeon. As we opined earlier, the experience of a BDSM hotel is limited. However, a BDSM dungeon enhances the experience in a significant way. Check out hourly dungeon rentals and go for the one that best excites you.
While packing for the dungeon, you and your partner might as well include tools that will benefit both of you. One example is the ElectraStim EM60-M Flick Electrosex Stimulator Multipack Set which offers various features for vaginal and anal stimulation as well as pin-point penis arousal. There are also adhesive pads available to ensure shared fun.
If you and your partner are looking to try a new thing and somewhere else into your adventure, you should try using BDSM dating sites. Go ahead to flirt with people near your vacation destination and schedule a hookup. This idea also works for a novice or single kinkster who’s just trying to find a partner.
Rather than going for a BDSM resort or a fetish hotel accommodation, you should consider a BDSM convention. Search for the available kinky conventions around you if you want to keep things local. However, if you don’t mind stepping out of your city or country, there are several convention destinations around the world that you can explore.
It’s rare to not find a fetish club in your city. A fetish club provides you a safe space where you can meet like-minded couples who are also open to fulfilling their sexual fantasies. If you have trouble finding a club, you can opt for a nightclub that provides the kinky crowd a weekly or monthly fetish night.
Of course, BDSM travel involves you packing your fetish equipment into your bags. Below, we’ll give you some packing tips to ensure that you have a seamless experience:
One mistake you can’t make when preparing for BDSM travel is trying to fit all of your equipment in your bags. Try to keep portable gear that contains only a few kinky tools. You can find the bulky equipment at your destination.
Most of your favorite BDSM equipment may not be permitted on board the plane, so you’ll do yourself a favor by opting to pack them in your checked luggage. Such suspect tools include paddles and whips that could be seen as weapons. You also want to keep your handcuffs in your checked luggage.
In all of these, safety is paramount. Below, we’ll share some safety tips that can help you prevent any trouble:
There’s a huge chance of you traveling with a vibrator, so we advise that you remove the (lithium-ion) batteries when you’re on the plane to prevent accidents. According to the European Cockpit Association (ECA), lithium-ion batteries present a potential flight threat Trusted Source The Dangers of Lithium Battery Fires – And What to Do in Flight Aviation is safer than it’s ever been, but two risks are increasing: drone strikes and battery fires. nbaa.org .
Also, ensure that you trust someone with a copy of your itinerary. That includes flights, hotel accommodations, and the kinky events you’d like to attend.
Before embarking on your BDSM travel, ensure that you’re going to a trusted and verified resort, dungeon, or convention. Also, we advise that both of you have a conversation about a destination that is ideal for both parties.
When you embark on BDSM travel with a friend, you must understand their personality and try not to get involved in their plays so that you can control the situation. You can also keep in touch with the friend’s partner to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Every relationship needs adventures to keep things spicy. BDSM relationships need adventures the most because they’re based on satisfying wild fantasies and fetishes. As we’ve discussed in this article, BDSM travel can involve booking a BDSM hotel, a kinky cruise, a BDSM resort, or a BDSM dungeon.
Moreover, these destinations are the favorites because they provide the perfect atmosphere and equipment for BDSM plays. You can even decide to plan your vacation yourself and opt for certain moves that can also deliver a great experience. Overall, ensure that you opt for a destination that is best for you and your partner’s desires. And remember to keep safe always.
