For the longest time, there was only one naturist resort in Bali. But since 2023, two more have opened their doors. This was reason enough for us to hop on a plane to Denpasar and go have a look at what’s new on the menu for the naturist traveller. Our first stop was Resort Gecko, which is very conveniently located less than 30 minutes from the airport. How to get to Resort Gecko … Read more
We remember a time when, if we wanted information about something, we had to jump on our bicycles and ride to the library. Where we had to scan through the books, looking for one that may answer our questions. We had to make sure to pick the right books because the limit was 4 at a time. And we also had to reserve time for reading, because after 3 weeks the books needed to be … Read more
A big misunderstanding about naturism is that it’s just about lazy naked people hanging out next to the pool. With more and more younger people joining the naturist community, there is an increasing need for activities. Naked hiking seems to become a very popular pastime. Obviously, you don’t need a naturist resort to hike naked. Depending on your local laws, you can either do this everywhere or at designated areas, or if you’re very … Read more
After travelling around the world for almost 6 years now, we think that we got quite a good idea of what the naturist market has to offer. And maybe more importantly, we’re starting to see interesting trends. In previous blog posts, we’ve already mentioned the uprise of luxury naturism, and we often say that today, you can find everything in the naturist tourism world that you can also find in clothed tourism. But that is … Read more
During our initial visit to Thailand in 2018, we noticed that naturism was on the rise. In just over five years, five naturist resorts had opened their doors. Less than a year later, that number had increased to eight. However, over the last few years, several of these resorts have closed down, while new ones have emerged. COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the naturist tourism scene in Thailand, resulting in a complete … Read more
We’re on an island called Koh Rong Sanloem, off the coast of Cambodia. There’s no naturism here, nor anywhere else in the country. For the last couple of days, we’ve been asking several expats if they think it would be possible to start a naturist resort here. The locals are mostly fishermen or run small shops or restaurants. They don’t care much about us tourists. Although their culture and Buddhist religion isn’t really favourable to … Read more
Naturism and vacations have always gone hand in hand, even in times long before the commercial resorts. In those days, the local naturist club was a great weekend getaway, and during the summer holidays, the tent was packed or the caravan hooked up to spend some time without clothes at a club a bit further away. Then someone must have realised that they were missing out on an opportunity. There must be naturists who … Read more
It has been 5 years since we last visited Thailand, almost to date. So we were very much looking forward to seeing what has changed and what we would still recognise. The world turns fast, but one could wonder how much can be different in just half a decade. These are not normal times though. When we first visited Thailand, naturism in the country was still kinda in its infancy. There were several resorts, … Read more
For 3 whole months, we’ve travelled through South Africa in search of what the country has to offer to the naturist traveller. The least we can say is that we’ve been overwhelmed by the natural beauty of this country. Even if we wouldn’t have had a single chance to get naked, it would definitely still have been worth every minute of the trip. But luckily, we did get opportunities to enjoy South Africa without clothes. … Read more
All good things come to an end, and unfortunately, this was also the case for our big road trip in South Africa. For 3 months we’ve been driving through the country visiting all those wonderful places, but we made sure to leave a special treat for the very end of our trip. The couple of days before we would fly out of the country, we spent at one of the world’s largest naturist domains: Kiepersolkloof. … Read more
