It’s that time of the year… the days are short and cold and it’s not really the best time to be a naturist. Unless you live in the southern hemisphere, then your birthday suit and your Christmas costume are the same thing. For the last two years, we have been fortunate to celebrate the end of the year right there, under the warm summer sun. This year we were in Europe but in the lovely … Read more
During the last decade, Asia has been the next continent where naturism has really been getting a foot on the ground. First in Thailand and Bali, but now also in the Philippines, naturist resorts have been opening their doors. A blessing for local naturists, who now don’t have to cross the globe anymore for their naturist vacations. But also great for foreign travelers. Next to the Caribbean, there is definitely another great region with perfect … Read more
We have already been to Domaine de Bélézy a few times. It’s one of France’s most popular naturist resorts and appears on the bucket list of everyone who wants to spend some time without clothes in the country. If it’s not on yours yet, we’re sure it will be by the time you finish reading this blog post. But truth to be said, the resort’s popularity isn’t only because it’s such an amazing place. … Read more
Over the years, we have received thousands of messages from people who are about to visit their first nude beach or who have been to some before but still find it confusing. We like to say that it’s not rocket science, but in fact, it’s not a science at all. And that’s what can make it complicated. One nude beach is not the other and even culture can influence how people perceive going naked. … Read more
We were planning to spend our last days in Colombia in style. Meanwhile, we had visited Colombia’s only official nude beach and we had enjoyed several great meetups with local nudist groups (more about that next week). The only thing which was missing on our list was a place where we could spend day and night in the nude. Almost by accident, with the help of our growing nudist contact list, we had discovered that … Read more
There are numerous private villas in Bali where you could get comfortably naked without having to fear that any unwanted visitor will walk up to you. Villa Rini is a great example. The big advantage of a private villa is of course the unlimited privacy as you’re basically at your own house. But, although the villas often have a number of staff, there are still many things that you will have to arrange for yourself, … 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
During our initial trip to Thailand five years ago, we discovered the only naturist resort in the Phuket region, which was known as Lemon Tree Resort. It is unfortunate that the resort no longer operates as a naturist establishment today. Nevertheless, Patty and Golf, the dedicated managers of Lemon Tree, have ventured into a new endeavour. They have created a larger, more luxurious resort in a prime location near shops, restaurants, and beautiful beaches. … 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
Christmas is just behind the corner and these couple of weeks before the holidays we have to start thinking about which gifts we will give our loved ones this year. Another pair of reindeer socks? Another one of those woolen Christmas sweaters? The options are plenty and beautifully decorated shop windows are screaming for our attention. But what do we buy for our nudist friends and family members? Actually, if you’ve been other posts … Read more
