Finca Pura Clothing Optional Guestrooms near Alicante, Spain

Review: Finca Pura Clothing Optional Guest Rooms near Alicante, Spain

If there’s one concept of naturism which we didn’t really find in Europe (until today) it’s clothing optional. It’s a difficult subject altogether, especially seen from a global point of view. In the Americas, “clothing optional” is used to point out nudist resorts and clothing is most often not really an option. In Europe on the other hand, clothing appeared to be an option at most naturist places. At least in some parts or at … Read more

Review: Limanature in the North of Portugal

Review: Limanature in the North of Portugal

Meanwhile, we’ve used the words “this is not an average naturist camping” probably so many times that we start wondering whether there’s even such a thing. What is average anyway? Maybe that’s another reason why we’re so much attracted to naturist places? Because they’re not average at all. It’s too early in the day for philosophical questions like that. We just want to say that Limanature in the very north of Portugal is not an … Read more

Review: Quinta Do Maral in North Alentejo, Portugal

Names like Lisbon, Porto, or Algarve often even ring a bell for those who haven’t even visited Portugal before. These are the tourist highlights of the country. The pages of the Lonely Planet guide between which everyone puts a Post-It. But of course, Portugal is much more than that. Those who take the time to get off the beaten track are rewarded with wonderful landscapes, hills and forests, sleepy towns, and historical villages. And best … Read more

Le Couderc in Dordogne, France: Review

Review: Le Couderc in Dordogne, France

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

Review: Chateau Guiton in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France

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 GΓ©rard Depardieu saturated.   In France’s … Read more

Review: Le Champ de Guiral in Lot, France

Review: Le Champ de Guiral in Lot, France

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

Review: Naturist Campsite El PortΓΊs in Cartagena, Spain

Review: Naturist Campsite El PortΓΊs in Cartagena, Spain

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

Review: Charco del Palo in Lanzarote, Spain

Review: Charco del Palo in Lanzarote, Spain

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

La Plage Des Templiers in Ardèche, France: Review

Review: La Plage Des Templiers in Ardèche, France

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

La Tuquette in Provence, France: Review

Review: La Tuquette in Provence, France

Naturism isn’t one size fits all. At least not anymore. There used to be a time when every naturist club or resort looked quite similar, at least in the way how things were done and organised. But those days are long gone. Every naturist has their preferences of what the perfect resort looks like. Some like beach and others like forest. Some like small cosy campsites and others like huge naturist villages. Some like an … Read more
