U Furu naturist campsite in Corsica, France: Review

Review: U Furu naturist campsite in Corsica, France

Naturism in Corsica is very beach-oriented. The three large naturist resorts, Bagheera, Riva Bella, and La Chiappa, are right at the coast with direct access to a nude beach. This is not surprising, because Corsica profits from warm sea water and magnificently beautiful beaches.   Of course, the island is more than just water and sand. Those of you who can appreciate some splendid nature, high mountains, forests, waterfalls, and wildlife, can find their thing … Read more

Chan Resort in Pattaya, Thailand: Revisited

Revisited: Chan Resort in Pattaya, Thailand

During our initial visit to Thailand in 2018, we noticed that naturism was on the rise. In just over five years, five naturist resorts had opened their doors. Less than a year later, that number had increased to eight. However, over the last few years, several of these resorts have closed down, while new ones have emerged.   COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the naturist tourism scene in Thailand, resulting in a complete … Read more

Naturist Resort Bali Natur in Bali: Review

Review: Naturist Resort Bali Natur in Bali

A good decade ago, we heard one story after the other about naturist resorts either closing their doors or turning textile. It appeared like the big wave of naturists that started in the early seventies was coming to an end and resort owners took action to save their businesses. Maybe not the right action, because today, it feels as if the tide has turned again.   More and more people are finding their way to … Read more

Cypress Cove in Florida, USA

Review: Cypress Cove Nudist Resort in Florida, USA

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

Lake Como Nudist Resort in Florida, USA

Review: Lake Como Nudist Resort in Florida, USA

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

The Paradise Peak Clothing-Optional resort in Saint Martin

Review: The Paradise Peak Clothing-Optional resort in Saint Martin

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

Praia do Pinho nude beach and naturist camping near Florianopolis, Brazil

Review: Praia do Pinho near Florianopolis, Brazil

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

Review: Campground Liga Völs in Völs, Austria

Because Austria is so close to Germany and because it has such great nature, one would think that there would be an abundance of naturist campings. Apparently not, as we discovered minutes before we entered the country. Especially in the area where we wanted to go, around the city of Innsbruck, we could find only one FKK camp: Liga Völs. UPDATE 2020: We have been recently confirmed that guests don’t have to pay for hot … Read more

Review: Campground Baldarin in Cres, Croatia

Having a nakation at the end of the world, how does that sound? FKK naturist camping Baldarin is not exactly at the end of the world, but it’s on the end of Cres Island in Croatia, which more or less seems like the end of the world. But in a good way. Certainly in a good way! If there is a heaven for naturists it might as well be this place, if you like sunshine, … Read more
