10 Things We Wish We Knew Before Going to a Naturist Campsite in France for the First Time

Our first steps into French naturism almost seem like we took them in a previous life. Meanwhile, we discovered so many resorts, from small club campgrounds with just a handful of spots to huge so-called “naturist villages” that are larger than any of the real villages nearby. And pretty much everything in between.   They all look different. Some are at the coast, others in the mountains or the countryside. Some have lakes or rivers … Read more

Grottamiranda: The Rise of a Wellness Naturist Resort in Italy

It’s been seven years since we first visited Grottamiranda Naturist Resort in southern Italy and… just as we’re writing this, we’re getting an extreme déja vu… We’ve been writing this blog for pretty much a decade now, talking about all the places we’re visiting, and more and more, we find ourselves back to places we’ve been to before.   Some of them haven’t changed a bit. But that’s absolutely not the case at Grottamiranda…   … Read more

What makes Corsica the underdog in European naturism?

What makes Corsica the underdog in European naturism?

We remember how much we were blown away when we first visited Corsica. The island had never really been on our radar. Because, honestly, how good could it really be? We know this sounds pretty ignorant, but at the time, we had travelled to islands in the Caribbean and Thailand, the ones you see in advertising in airports. And we had been to some Spanish islands like Ibiza and the Canaries. How could an island … Read more

Vera Playa or Costa Natura, what's your perfect destination

Vera Playa or Costa Natura, what’s your perfect naked destination?

We’ve spent time at two clothes-free destinations on Spain’s Mediterranean coast, and on paper, they look like obvious cousins. Both sit right on the water. Both offer apartments, sunny terraces, and the freedom to go completely naked from morning to night, and both have a real sense that living without clothing is perfectly normal.   But one of them is a private resort designed to feel like a village. And the other is an actual … Read more

7 Nude beaches in Croatia that you shouldn’t miss

7 Nude beaches in Croatia that you shouldn’t miss

Croatia has hundreds of nude beaches. We know this because we’ve spent a significant amount of time working our way through them, on boats, on foot, on questionable paths that turned out not to be paths at all. And the truth is, not all of them are worth the effort. Some are beautiful but almost impossible to reach. Others are signposted as FKK but turn out to be a single flat rock with room for … Read more

Riva Bella Naturist Resort in Corsica, France

Riva Bella Naturist Resort in Corsica, France: Revisited

Some resorts are exactly what you expect them to be. A beach, a pool, some sunbeds, and a bar. Pleasant enough, but no real surprises. Riva Bella is not that kind of resort. We very well remember the moment when we arrived in this part of Corsica and started to understand the scale of the place, 79 hectares to be specific, and how we realised that it was going to take some time to figure … Read more

Nude Beaches on the Makarska Riviera: A Guide to 11 Clothes-Free Spots on the Dalmatian Coast

Nude Beaches on the Makarska Riviera: A Guide to 11 Clothes-Free Spots on the Dalmatian Coast

Most people planning a clothes-free holiday in Croatia head straight for Istria or start researching the islands. That’s understandable, both have well-established reputations. What fewer people realise is that the Makarska Riviera, a long stretch of Dalmatian coastline at the foot of the Biokovo mountains, might actually be the most densely packed nude beach area in the whole country. Nearly every town along the Riviera has at least one, often two, clothes-free options. That’s a … Read more

Ibiza vs Formentera: Which Island Is Better for a Nude Beach Holiday?

Ibiza vs Formentera: Which Island Is Better for a Nude Beach Holiday?

Ibiza and Formentera are probably the world’s best excuses to leave your swimsuit in your suitcase. They lie right next to each other off the Spanish Mediterranean coast, but the difference in vibe between the two can be massive. So which one belongs on your next nude beach holiday? Let’s break it down.     First, a Word About Nudity in Spain Spain is famously relaxed about nudity, and the general rule of thumb is … Read more
