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
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 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
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
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
In a side road of the main motorway between Pattaya City and Sattahip, you will find the Phoenix Golf Club… Well, that’s pretty interesting if you’re into playing golf, but for us, this was only the sign to look at the other side of the road because according to our map this was where we should find Phuan Naturist Village, the latest addition to the growing list of resorts affiliated with Naturist Association Thailand. … Read more
NOTE: There is a 2023 version available of this blog post HERE. Although we’ve had a wonderful time at Phuan Naturist Village, we can understand that if you want to spend your holidays in the middle of the action ( or in our case, blow a load of money on wine and delicious Belgian food at the amazing restaurant Patrick), you do want to stay in the center of Pattaya City. And that’s exactly … Read more
UPDATE 2024: Unfortunately, after 5 beautiful years we’ve decided to put a hold on this project. It’s been fun, but we have other priorities now and just can’t put the time into NUDE that it deserves. Thanks everyone for your contributions, and, of course, there’s always Naked Wanderings and Destination Clothes Free to research your future travels. During our travels around the world we meet a lot of other nudists and what kind of … Read more
After spending some time with Hector, the amazing Mexican who became president of the national nudist federation, and after hanging out with the great nudist group from Guadalajara (really, you should visit these people sometimes, you’ll love them!), we had to move on. Away from the hills, away from the mainland, and on to the coast. If you Google “nude beach Mexico“, you’ll find a lot of information about that small Mexican part in the … Read more
It was surreal how fast those two months in Mexico had passed by, just like yesterday we had arrived at the house of Hector Martinez in the middle of the night and now we were only a couple of days away from our flight towards our next destination, Canada. But there was one place we still had to explore: Hidden Beach Resort at the Riviera Maya in Mexico. Located near Playa del Carmen and Cancun, … Read more
