Why is the Nude Spa More Popular than the Naturist Resort?

The spa culture has been growing fast during the last decade or two in Europe. Especially countries like Germany, Belgium, and The Netherlands are seeing a growth in visitors of spa centers. We’re talking about “centers” and even that might be an understatement. A Western European wellness center is pretty much a water park for grown-ups. Often there are several swimming pools, jacuzzis, saunas, steam rooms, cold baths, warm baths, and the possibility to more … Read more

Would this place be able to bring us back to naturism as we … Read more

Review: Le Clapotis in Aude, France

Review: Le Clapotis in Aude, France

The south of France is such a varied region with such an abundant mix of landscapes, cultures, and impressions that it’s almost impossible to compare one part with another. The hills are completely different than the coast. The Atlantic coast is nothing like the Mediterranean one. Even on the Mediterranean coast, the east side can’t be compared to the west. Luckily, in France, no matter which region you decide to visit, you can be sure … Read more

Cap d’Agde: A Day in the World’s Most Famous Nude Village

Cap d’Agde probably doesn’t need an introduction. Many have visited the huge naturist resort at least once in their lives. Even if you haven’t been there yet, the name probably does ring a bell.

6 Steps to Become Comfortably Naked

6 Steps to Become Comfortable Naked

There are many reasons why people are reluctant to engage into nudism. We believe that the number one reason, with head and shoulders, is how even the idea of being nude makes them feel uncomfortable. Basically, it comes down to shame. And basically, many of the other reasons people come up with like jealousy, religion and modesty also come down to the same thing. We don’t really like how we look. We have all these … Read more

Review: Terme d’Astor in Dordogne, France

Something about the smaller family-run naturist campings is that they always seem to be a work in progress. That’s not necessarily a negative thing.

When Do You Get Nude at a Nudist Resort?

This is one of the questions we often receive from first time nudists. They’ve decided to give social nudity a try, picked out a nudist resort which looks very nice and then start thinking about the most scary part of the whole experience: The point where they will have to undress.

Nude Vacations in Italy: A Naturist Road Trip

Nude Vacations in Italy: A Naturist Road Trip

Italy is often considered the world’s capital of Christianity. It’s where Vatican City is located and where the Pope lives. This hasn’t exactly been an advantage when it comes to social nudity.
