Many naturist campsites are run as family businesses. We’ve heard the story several times before. A couple gets tired of their everyday jobs and starts dreaming about their own tropical paradise. Someplace where they can spend their days in the nude and share the experience with thousands of other naturists. The dream becomes reality. They sell their belongings, make a deal with the bank, buy a property, load their kids in the back of the … Read more
If you’ve been following this blog or our social media for a while, you know that we can very much appreciate a good glass of wine. This is one of the reasons why we like France so much. On one hand, there are more naturist resorts than most people can visit in a lifetime, and on the other hand, there are enough different kinds of wine to get even Gérard Depardieu saturated. In France’s … Read more
France is the number one destination in the world for naturist camping and one of the reasons why the country is so hugely popular is because the options are numerous and because there is such a variety. One day you may find yourself in a so-called naturist village with thousands of other naturists, and just a short drive further you arrive in an oasis of peace and quiet that feels as if you’re camping in … Read more
We’ve lost track of how much time we have been spending in Spain during the last few years. The country has become our preferred getaway during COVID times. Especially in winter, when the temperatures in most parts of Europe drop to zero and below, the Spanish coast tends to remain very pleasant. During our many months in Spain, we got the chance to visit plenty of nude beaches and several naturist resorts, but we … Read more
The term “naturist village” is being used quite loosely and most often it refers to a resort rather than to an actual village. It’s not a patented term and there are no prerequisites to meet. If you want to call your back garden a naturist village, you are free to do so. But there are few places that are actual villages where one can just be nude. The ones that do exist are often fenced-off … Read more
There are more than 200 naturist campsites in France and every single one of them is unique. They all have their own atmosphere, their own nature, their own facilities and activities. Yet, when we walked through yet another row of pitches and past yet another jeu de boule court on our way to yet another swimming pool, we couldn’t stop thinking that we’d seen this many times before. Have we been travelling too much … Read more
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
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
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
What do you do when you found the perfect naturist resort and you don’t ever want to leave again? More and more resorts have started to offer the option to buy your own place at the domain or to rent a piece of land on a yearly basis where you can put down your camper or caravan. Your own place at a naturist resort, where you can come to live or that you can retreat … Read more
