The last time we visited Intima Resort in Tulum was literally just weeks before COVID would shut down the world. It was one of the last nude resorts that we would visit for a long time to come. Obviously, we didn’t know that at the time. What we mostly remember are the very luxurious accommodations, the lovely swimming pool, and the fun atmosphere. More than three years later, we return to Mexico and we are … Read more
First-time experiences can not be overestimated. They are often a decisive factor that may influence the rest of your life. A while ago, we were talking to friends about naturism and they told us that they had once visited Cap d’ Agde and decided that naturism wasn’t something for them. When we dug a bit deeper, it became obvious that their perception of naturism was nothing like ours. Well, it could have been, if Cap … Read more
A couple of years ago, we were hiking with friends in some woods in France towards a creek. The idea was to have a small picnic and a skinny dip once we’d get there. It was really a spot in the middle of nowhere, but luck wasn’t on our side and when we arrived, two women were fishing for crayfish. “So far the skinny dipping”, we thought, but one of us did walk up … Read more
What do you do when you found the perfect naturist resort and you don’t ever want to leave again?

We sometimes refer to the very beginnings of naturism to make a point in one of our blog posts. Most of the time, we’ll then tell you about a group of Germans who got tired of all those new factories in their city and wanted to start a more healthy way of living by exposing themselves completely to nature. Whenever we tell this story, some people will refer to much more ancient times. To … Read more
Back in 2018, we went to Asia for the first time. We had been hearing rumours about naturism really getting a foot on the ground in Thailand and we wanted to know what the fuss was all about. What we found were 5 naturist resorts in Thailand and one in Bali that were running very smoothly. It was obvious that this was just the beginning. A lot has happened since then. The number of … Read more
Phuket, despite being not such a big island, is a bustling hub of tourism in Thailand. With about 12 million yearly visitors, it’s not hard to imagine that the island can get pretty busy and that concrete is often a more common sight than nature. Yet, there are still some pristine natural places to be found, mostly secluded beaches and national parks, but also in the form of a naturist resort. When you find … Read more
During our initial trip to Thailand five years ago, we discovered the only naturist resort in the Phuket region, which was known as Lemon Tree Resort. It is unfortunate that the resort no longer operates as a naturist establishment today. Nevertheless, Patty and Golf, the dedicated managers of Lemon Tree, have ventured into a new endeavour. They have created a larger, more luxurious resort in a prime location near shops, restaurants, and beautiful beaches. … Read more
In the not-so-distant past, naturism was primarily limited to certain regions of Europe and North America. While clubs and associations attempted to offer year-round activities, being naked in natural surroundings was often reserved for the most adventurous during specific seasons. However, the landscape has significantly transformed over the past few decades. Today, an increasing number of countries are embracing naturism and establishing dedicated facilities for naturist vacations. This remarkable shift means that there is … Read more
Thailand has already secured its spot on the naturist vacation map for quite some years, but the only thing the country kept missing was a nude beach. Until recently, when a new naturist resort called Oriental Beach Village opened on Ko Kho Khao island and secured a section on the beach for the guests to be used Au Naturel. Getting the opportunity to go naked on a beach in Thailand was reason enough for … Read more
