The Dunes Gay Hotel & Resort

The Dunes Resort is one of the country’s top gay and lesbian resorts, nestled in the gay friendly beach towns of Saugatuck and Douglas, Michigan.

For 35 years, The Dunes Resort (TDR) has provided a simple, comfortable gay hotel resort experience. Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals and Transgenders (plus straights) come to escape the doldrums of Middle America and enjoy a day, weekend, or week-long getaway. Now crowned one of the largest gay and lesbian resorts and entertainment complexes in the Midwest, The Dunes Resort, formerly the Douglas Dunes Resort, is heralded as Western Michigan’s premier gay and lesbian vacation destination and a pinnacle of the gay Saugatuck Douglas community.

While other area hotels are “gay friendly,” we are the only LGBTQ resort in Saugatuck Douglas. We take pride in offering comfortable accommodations where you can simply be yourself.

But The Dunes Resort is so much more than a gay hotel! Our resort is one of the largest gay and lesbian resorts in the Midwest, and is home to some of the hottest gay bars in West Michigan:

THE MAIN – Day or night, the main bar is always ready to serve.

THE DECK – It’s always a party at our outdoor patio gay bar! Sunday Tea Dances are legendary.

SHOW BAR – Live Cabaret shows with unforgettable entertainment – Weekends in the summer.

THE CLUB – Dance the night away year round with the area’s top DJ’s.

THE VINYL LOUNGE – Relax with billiards, video games, and comfy chairs, only steps away from The Main.

SPLASH – The poolside bar is serving up your favorite summer cocktail.  Poolside bar closes Sept. 6th

With weekly events including the area’s best DJs, cabaret performers, karaoke, themed weekends, Men of Manwatch, Mr. Michigan Leather, contests, drag shows and special weekends for our Transgender, Bear and Leather families… plus so much more, there is always something to do at The Dunes Resort. And for the ladies, we have women’s weekends, ladies nights, and more.
