What We Mean by “Queer Men”
At Qasa, queer men includes gay, bi, trans, and other men who identify with queer community. There is no expected way to look, act, dress, or express masculinity here. Our retreats are designed for gay and queer men; hotel stays and selected events welcome guests of all identities.
What We Mean by “Queer Men”
Is Qasa for You?
Qasa is for you if:
- You want queer-centered community, nature, and real connection.
- You respect consent, boundaries, and personal pace.
- You are open to growth, rest, play, or adventure.

Qasa is not for you if:
