The news that a new naturist place, Lavinia Naturist Resort, would soon be opening in the Alicante area drew us over the line. Their first photos looked very … Read more
This was the third time already that we visited Lavinia Naturist Resort. The first time was when they had just opened their doors, and the owners were still finding their way in the hospitality business. The second time was during COVID, a weird time for everyone and especially uncertain for those depending on the simple fact that people can travel. But we remember how they kept their heads high and instead of burying themselves in … Read more

More than once we’ve heard someone say “Oh you’re a naturist? We have been to Cap d’Agde once and it didn’t seem like something for us“. After which they give us a look that speaks volumes. Unfortunately, we can’t tell you exactly which will … Read more
Our visit to Spain this year was quite short. There was only one region that really caught our eye and which we definitely wanted to include in our Big Nude Europe Trip. The Alicante region in southern Spain doesn’t only have year-round pretty great weather and lots of interesting places to visit. It also has an abundance of nude beaches from where you can skinny dip in the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea. And … Read more
While diving into all the content of our website for blog posts which we could include in our brand new Extended Versions of our Naturist Guides, we stumbled upon several forgotten ones from the early days. One of the first blog posts we ever published was called “Something about Cultural Differences“ in which we talked about nudism in different cultures around the world.

Naturists wanted to spend most of their time outside, absorbing the sunshine and being as close as possible to nature. Personally, we love camping. For exactly those reasons. But along the way, we’ve learned that definitely not every naturist is interested in spending the weekends or holidays on a campsite. Or, let’s rephrase that, on “the idea … Read more
France is a paradise for many different reasons. Food lovers and wine enthusiasts definitely know what weβre talking about, but also those who prefer to travel with as little clothes as possible know that France is still a top naturist destination in the world. If we wanted to write a guide about all naturist options in the country, we would end up with a pill of probably more than a thousand pages. Since weβre not … Read more
The COVID-19 virus has the world in its grip. Suddenly every naturist became a home-naturist. For many of you, these quarantines and lockdowns probably have some pleasant side effects. Suddenly you don’t have to wear pants anymore to go to the office. Suddenly you don’t have to wear pants anymore at all. We imagine that many naturists are currently enjoying 24/7 nude time!
