The Ultimate Clothes-Free Journey Through South Africa

The Ultimate Clothes-Free Journey Through South Africa

Few places in the world combine nature, freedom, and raw beauty quite like South Africa. Vast open landscapes meet two dramatic coastlines, wildlife roams as if time never changed, and the warm, welcoming energy makes it a natural fit for a clothes-free vacation. For anyone dreaming of one truly adventurous nude escape, South Africa is the kind of country that pulls you in and never lets go.   We spent several months travelling across the … Read more

Are you a Naturist or a Nudist?

Are you a Naturist or a Nudist?

A few months ago, someone told us she had almost cancelled her holiday because the resort’s website used the word “nudist.” Well, that’s probably not such a strange case. We imagine that it must happen now and then that people randomly book a place on websites like Booking.com and only later discover that bikinis are kind of pointless there. That does happen. But this case was different.   She knew very well she was going … Read more

The Best Nude Beaches between Venice and Triëste, Italy

The Best Nude Beaches between Venice and Triëste, Italy

Venice probably doesn’t need another introduction. It’s one of the most visited cities in the world, and recently the scene where Jeff Bezos and his bride-to-be said “Yes” to one another. At least, we think they did, we were not invited.   For most visitors, the shoreline of the Venetian Lagoon also marks the end of their exploration. A pity, because the near surroundings have so much more to offer. Nature, picturesque towns, wineries, and … Read more

The Hidden (and not-so-hidden) Nude Beaches of La Gomera and La Palma, Spain

The Hidden (and not-so-hidden) Nude Beaches of La Gomera and La Palma, Spain

The small ferries that stitch the western Canary Islands together feel like time machines. We left the crowded promenades of Tenerife behind, and less than an hour later, arrived at steep amphitheatres of volcanic rock, terraces shaped by hand, and a rhythm that invited us to slow down.   On La Gomera and La Palma, the shoreline is not a set of beach clubs and boardwalks. These are wild places, where cliffs pour into the … Read more

The Best Free Nude Beaches in Istria, Croatia

The Best Free Nude Beaches in Istria, Croatia

If you’ve been reading up on naturist vacation destinations, the name Istria must have passed by at one point or another. If you haven’t passed by Istria yet, that is. A few decades ago, it was the epicentre of clothes‑free vacations in Europe, and although this Croatian peninsula may have lost some of its popularity over the years, many thousands of visitors from all over the world still flock to Istria every summer without packing … Read more

5 Thailand Naturist Resorts for a Relaxing Clothes‑Free Holiday

5 Thailand Naturist Resorts for a Relaxing Clothes‑Free Holiday

Thailand is one of the few destinations where clothes‑free vacations can happen year‑round. Warm temperatures, direct international access, and a small but established network of resorts create a straightforward itinerary for travellers who value comfortable places where they can be without clothes.   What follows is an overview of five naturist resorts, which are all quite different in one way, yet very similar when it comes to vibe and philosophy.     Barefeet Naturist Resort … Read more

10 Facts about the Bright Future for Naturism

10 Facts about the Bright Future for Naturism

The other day, we picked up a naturist magazine (yes, those still exist), and while flipping through the pages, we noticed that many articles focused on the past. Not events from earlier this year, but things that happened even before we were born.   Don’t get us wrong. We are all in favour of praising the people who made a difference, who stood on the barricades and faced serious consequences to make the world more … Read more

American nude beaches are in danger (and you can help)

American Nude Beaches are in Danger (and You can Help)

After spending a lot of time in Europe lately, especially in countries like Spain, France, the Netherlands, and Croatia, it’s hard to imagine a world without nude beaches. They’re everywhere, and they’re thriving. Often, this is to the annoyance of certain YouTubers who have to wake up at the crack of dawn just to be able to film a beach before it fills up.   Nude beaches in Europe work, and governments seem to understand … Read more

The Best Nude Beaches in Spain for an Autumn Escape

The Best Nude Beaches in Spain for an Autumn Escape

When the rest of Europe starts pulling out scarves and jackets, Spain holds onto summer just a little longer. Autumn here feels like a second chance at the naked season. Or a third one… Maybe a fourth.   With golden light, warm breezes, and long afternoons by the sea, it’s easy to forget that summer is already over. There will be indicators though, like fewer crowds, softer air, less chance for a sunburn, and a … Read more

Naturist Camp Baldarin in Cres, Croatia: Revisited

Naturist Camp Baldarin in Cres, Croatia: Revisited

This wasn’t the first time we visited Baldarin. In fact, the place brought back fond memories, as this was our very first destination in our Naked Wanderings journey. We were literally one day on the road, not knowing yet that many more years of this would follow.   But you’re probably not here to listen to us getting all sentimental, you want to know what this resort is like. We immediately recognised the reception building … Read more
