Cap d’Agde probably doesn’t need an introduction. Many have visited the huge naturist resort at least once in their lives. Even if you haven’t been there yet, the name probably does ring a bell. Or you’ve already heard some stories about the place. Those stories aren’t always very positive and that was the exact reason why we kept avoiding a visit to Cap d’Agde. Until now. More and more we started to think that, … Read more
Something about the smaller family-run naturist campings is that they always seem to be a work in progress. That’s not necessarily a negative thing. Often guests return the year after curious about what has changed during the winter. Naturist camping Terme d’Astor in the south of France’s Dordogne region is not such a place. When we asked the management, a bit habitually, what their plans for improvements are, they bounced the question back at us: … Read more
Going on a nude vacation in France always feels a bit like coming home. France just breathes naturism. We can’t think of any other country which has such an abundance of places where you can get comfortably nude in a social setting. There are probably more naturist campsites in France than there are bowling alleys. Our plan for the following months is to get a taste of all that France has to offer to the … Read more
Italy is often considered the world’s capital of Christianity. It’s where Vatican City is located and where the Pope lives. This hasn’t exactly been an advantage when it comes to social nudity. While topless sunbathing on the beach was pretty common in many Western European countries since the sixties or seventies, it has only become legal in Italy in the year 2000. Prior to 2006, full nudity at Italian beaches was prohibited by law and … Read more
During our nude trip through Italy, we discovered a wonderful region in southern Tuscany which hasn’t been overrun by tourists yet. Well, we didn’t actually discover it, Bas and Domenica did about nine years ago. They decided that it was the perfect place to start their own naturist campsite Sasso Corbo. A choice with which we couldn’t agree more. The surroundings provide the perfect place for naturists who want to indulge in nature and history … Read more
A visit to naturist resort Grottamiranda, in the southern tip of Italy, meant quite a large detour from our original travel plan. That’s the thing with Italy, it’s not a particularly big country but it’s long. We decided to add Grottamiranda to our itinerary anyway for two main reasons. First of all, because it’s located in the Puglia region (Apulia in Italian) which is one of Italy’s richest archaeological regions and the birthplace of some … Read more
While naturist vacations in Italy are still somewhat new, Suncave Gardens is certainly the very new kid on the block. Only about a year and a half ago, this first naturist resort in the Lazio region opened its doors. From the first day of our stay, we felt that Suncave was not like most other naturist places we’ve visited before. Yet the atmosphere felt very familiar. Then a memory from EcoParque da Mata in Brazil … Read more
Oh, how much have we been looking forward to this moment? Finally, the Europe part of our nude journey around the world has kicked off! Not that we didn’t like the other continents, certainly not. But Europe is still the place to find the widest variety of naturist options. Which happens to be exactly what we are looking for. The first country on our itinerary, Italy, might not be THAT famous for naturism (yet). However, … Read more
Colombia… The name must certainly ring something but chances are that it’s an alarm bell. Isn’t that the country of which you saw a documentary the other day on Netflix? A country full of drugs and violence and FARC rebels? What got into our minds to search for nudism in Colombia? Luckily, most of what you saw on TV is long history. The Colombians prefer to look towards the future and luckily so does the … Read more
We were planning to spend our last days in Colombia in style. Meanwhile, we had visited Colombia’s only official nude beach and we had enjoyed several great meetups with local nudist groups (more about that next week). The only thing which was missing on our list was a place where we could spend day and night in the nude. Almost by accident, with the help of our growing nudist contact list, we had discovered that … Read more
