It’s been more than 5 years since we visited Playa Sonrisa. We remember reading that the resort was up for sale and figured that if we didn’t go right now, we might never get another chance to see this piece of paradise on the Mexican Caribbean coast. Because you never know who will buy it. Maybe it would soon become another dive or fishing resort, where at least a minimum amount of clothing would be … Read more
Remi & Sandra Remi and Sandra are a Dutch couple who decided to follow their dreams instead of the rat race. Dreams that would take them to Italy, to open up a brand new naturist campground in the picturesque hills of Tuscany. Food, wine, nature, history, and nudity… We can’t wait until they open their doors! We are Remi & Sandra, an energized couple on a quest to fulfill our dream of starting a … Read more
Saint Martin was one of the first of the Caribbean islands to appear on the naturist map when back in 1981, Club Orient Resort opened its doors. Throughout the next decades, the resort would become hugely popular and attract naked tourists from around the world. Until 2017, when Hurricane Irma pretty much blew the place away. Club Orient may be gone, but the naturist culture that the resort has been able to build still … Read more
For a state that is home to Tampa, the unofficial nudist capital of the USA, and to a great variety of nudist clubs and resorts, the number of nude beaches is surprisingly low. Four to be precise, with an unofficial 5th one. This has everything to do with the local law. We’re not going to bore you with all the specifics, but what it comes down to is that the law in Florida prohibits nudity … Read more
Florida’s Tampa area is often nicknamed “the nudist capital of the USA”. There are several nudist resorts, clubs, and residential areas pretty much within walking distance, or golf cart distance if you wish, from each other. One of them is Florida’s oldest naturist resort, the lovely Lake Como. How to get to Lake Como If you’re flying in, the nearest airport to the resort is Tampa International Airport, which has plenty of connections … Read more
Once upon a time, The United States was known as “The land of freedom”. The place where everything was possible. A refuge for 19th-century Europeans who felt suffocated or persecuted in their home countries and dreamt of a better life. Everything, even the complete impossible, was possible in America. Today, especially in naturist circles, Europeans like to joke about the USA. Land of freedom… yeah right. Land where you’re likely to get fired or … Read more
We visited several clothing-optional resorts lately and were kinda surprised of how many questions we received about this concept. Especially on our Instagram Stories, because that’s where you can follow our travels live (in case you didn’t know this yet). Most people know naturism and/or nudism as these terms have existed for over a century. Clothing-Optional is rather new, from what we read, it only started being used in the eighties or nineties. … Read more
It had been 5 years since we first tried naturism in the USA. Or should we say “nudism”, the more accepted term in this part of the world? At the time, we needed to choose between Florida, famous as a nudist destination, and California which was more considered the nudist underdog. We chose the latter, because why would anyone want to read about a place that everyone seemed to have already visited, right? Ever … Read more
We know, we’re a bit late with the announcement. If you’ve been following this blog or our social media channels, or if you’ve subscribed to our newsletter, you’ve probably already heard about Destination Clothes Free a while ago. But the other day, we realised that we never officially presented it to you. So we figured that it might be a good idea to give you an introduction to this new concept. The false … Read more
December 12, 2016. To most of you, this date will probably not ring many bells. Neither to us, as a matter of fact, except that this day we published a blog post called “Why are naturists such friendly people“. We had only been blogging for a couple of months and the reason we tackled this topic so early in our journey was because the friendliness of naturists had been one of the cornerstones of our … Read more
