Charco del Palo vs Vera Playa: Two Naked Villages, Two Different Rhythms

Charco del Palo vs Vera Playa: Two Naked Villages, Two Different Rhythms

Some naturist resorts seem like treasures that you need to discover on your own. Others are so out and about that they actually become towns that simply decided the wardrobe was optional. Charco del Palo and Vera Playa sit on opposite ends of that spectrum, and that contrast is exactly what makes them such an interesting pair.   Both places offer a sense of freedom, the difference lies in which kind of freedom you prefer … Read more

La Chiappa Naturist Resort in Corsica, France: Review

La Chiappa Naturist Resort in Corsica, France: Review

Corsica always finds a way to surprise us, even though we have visited several times before. But truth to be said, the previous times we hadn’t seen much more of the place than the Linguizzetta coast. As it’s home to Corsica’s most famous nude beach, why would we bother venturing further along the coast? Well, because we’re curious.   A place that had been on our bucket list for a while was La Chiappa, in … Read more

The Best Nude Beaches in Tuscany

The Best Nude Beaches in Tuscany: From Official Zones to Wild open Spaces

When we think of Tuscany, we think of its famous hills, vineyards, villages and towns that seem to be always crowded in the summer, but the coastline has a different story to tell. The atmosphere becomes much quieter, the sands stretch out and large parts of it seem completely ignored by the tourists that are so typical of the region.   We had the luxury of spending days moving up and down the coast, trying … Read more

Koversada Uncovered Naturist Resort in Croatia: Review

Koversada Uncovered Naturist Resort in Croatia: Review

We very well remember our first time at Koversada as a place of almost endless paths, beaches, and pitches. It felt like a town that just happened to be largely naked. Needless to say that just like many others, we weren’t all too happy when last year the news dropped that the resort was going to reorganise. And not exactly in our favour.   Koversada announced that as of 2025, it would become a split … Read more

10 Incredible Nude Beaches in the Canary Islands for a Clothes Free Holiday

10 Incredible Nude Beaches in the Canary Islands for a Clothes Free Holiday

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

Costa Calma: Fuerteventura’s Endless Clothes-Free Coastline

Costa Calma: Fuerteventura’s Endless Clothes-Free Coastline

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

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

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
