One of the big advantages of being full-time naturist travel bloggers is that we get the opportunity to visit some of the most famous nudist resorts in the world. Bare Oaks in Canada, CHM Monta in France, Hidden Beach in Mexico, or Oriental Village in Thailand, only to name a few. And all of that in little more than a year. But what we like equally as much (if not more) is when we can … Read more
Praia do Pinho in Brazil’s Santa Catarina state at somewhat 80 kilometers north of Florianópolis is a huge milestone for naturism in Brazil. It’s often considered Brazil’s first naturist beach (although opinions tend to differ), where social nudity was practiced before it was even legal in the country. The first naturists were spotted at Praia do Pinho in the early eighties. By 1986 a local naturist association AAPP (Friends of Praia do Pinho) was … Read more
The opinions about whether or not naturism can flourish in Brazil tend to differ. One side claims that due to the fact that Brazilians are already known to wear as little as possible at the beach it should be easy for them to also leave those last square centimeters of fabric behind. The other side will tell you that it’s just those little patches that make the step so difficult. When you’re only cherishing little, … Read more
We had very little idea about what we were going to find in Uruguay. When we traveled extensively through South America about 6 years ago, we somehow had forgotten about this little country. Lonely Planet doesn’t mention many world-class highlights and at the time we just followed the main sights of Argentina, only to notice that we had skipped Uruguay when we were already enjoying the Brazilian coast. This time we had some nude … Read more
Finding a new nudist resort has for a long time been a pain in our naked behinds. We have to admit that we don’t just settle for the first option that comes in sight though. It must have a good atmosphere, a pool for our daily skinny dip, maybe a cool nude beach, and so on. You probably know what we’re talking about. This is OUR nude vacation and we want our nude resort to … Read more
Buenos Aires may well be considered one of the most European cities outside of Europe. The Porteños (inhabitants of BA) lovingly call their city the Paris of South America. But there’s one thing which is still not that very European… The lack of naturist options. Things started out pretty well though when lots of German immigrants arrived in the 20th century some of them imported the naked lifestyle which was quite booming at the time … Read more
Where can you find the largest naturist resort in the world? YES! You’re right! In Argentina. How did you know this? You didn’t, did you? No worries, we had no clue either until we started researching naturist places in Argentina and stumbled upon a 1200ha (this is not a typo) naturist resort called Yatan Rumi. Naturism in Argentina is not exactly a huge thing (yet), but still, they have the largest place in the world, … Read more
The other day we were looking at our Nakation map and started counting the countries in which we have stayed at naturist camping and resorts (yeah, we do that from time to time and we have to admit that it does fill us with some pride). Thirteen! We have stayed at naturist spots in thirteen different countries, spread over four different continents. Pretty cool, right? And then we noticed a blank spot: Belgium. Our … Read more
Our two week naked round trip through Nouvelle Aquitaine, one of France’s most magnificent regions, had flown by so quickly. We do realize that we’ve only seen a fraction of it but still we were easily convinced that this is one of those places in the world that are a true joy for naturists. And now we want to convince you as well of course! We could go on and on about the wonderful … Read more
Naturist campsite Le Colombier was already the last destination on our itinerary… Time flies when you’re having fun and especially when you’re on a nakation through this wonderful area in western France. We had covered the beaches of the Bay of Biscay, inland destinations like the Dordogne and the Creuse and now we were heading towards the Vendée, a department in the Pays de la Loire region. With its combination of rich history and … Read more
