Some destinations feel as if we have to negotiate every bare centimetre of skin. The Canary Islands are the opposite of that. From our very first visit, the archipelago felt like a place where the landscape, the light and the local rhythm all quietly agreed that being nude on the beach is completely normal. Seven main islands rise out of the Atlantic off the coast of Africa, yet they are part of Spain. They … Read more
What do you do when your agenda says that it’s time to write a new blog post for Naked Wanderings, but you have absolutely no idea what to talk about this time? If you ever find yourself in this situation, first of all, welcome to the team! Secondly, here’s a great tip: Head over to Planet Nude for inspiration. It never disappoints. That’s how we discovered a thread in which ideas are being shared … Read more
Costa Calma is one of those places where the moment you drop your bags, you want to take your clothes off and start walking. The beaches seem endless, the air feels warm and light, and the whole coastline invites you to just keep going. From here in the southeast of Fuerteventura, you can walk nude all the way to Morro Jable, about twenty kilometres of sand, dunes, and turquoise water. Or if walking isn’t … Read more
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
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
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 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
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
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
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
