The term “naturist village” is being used quite loosely and most often it refers to a resort rather than to an actual village. It’s not a patented term and there are no prerequisites to meet. If you want to call your back garden a naturist village, you are free to do so. But there are few places that are actual villages where one can just be nude. The ones that do exist are often fenced-off … Read more
Our luck wouldn’t last forever, we knew that, but it’s a thought that we had banned to the very back of our heads. Ever since we had arrived in Spain, we had been enjoying magnificent weather. Lots of sun and very often agreeable enough temperatures to spend at least some time of the day without clothes. But once we passed Malaga, we could see that the trees outside were taking weird shapes that could only … Read more
Vera Playa has been on our to-go list for as long as we can remember. It’s Spain’s most popular naturist destination, and probably also the largest one, receiving thousands of visitors per day in the summer months. We just had to see with our own eyes what all the fuss was about. The original plan was to go to Vera Playa in late autumn of 2020, but COVID completely messed up that plan. As we … Read more
We’ve lost track of how much time we have been spending in Spain during the last few years. The country has become our preferred getaway during COVID times. Especially in winter, when the temperatures in most parts of Europe drop to zero and below, the Spanish coast tends to remain very pleasant. During our many months in Spain, we got the chance to visit plenty of nude beaches and several naturist resorts, but we … Read more
Throwback to last summer when we did an epic naturist road trip in Italy, from the very south of the country up to the very north. An amazing experience that we won’t easily forget and that we often like to think back about. Just because it keeps putting a smile on our faces. The other day, when we mentally did the trip once again, we came to an interesting realization. Of the 7 naturist resorts … Read more
Croatia is often considered to be the origin of commercial naturism. The earliest mentions of the country in naturist articles date from the very beginning of the 20th century and by the 1960s more than 100 000 naturists spent their vacations at the Croatian coast year after year. Just off the coast of the town Vrsar on the Istria peninsula lays a small island called Koversada that used to be particularly popular among naturists. … Read more
During the last years, we have stayed at so many different kinds of naturist accommodations. From campsites in the woods to all-inclusive resorts at the beach. From small BnBs to huge naturist villages. Self-catered villas, bungalows, glamping tents, apartments, you name it. But there was one type that still stood shining bright on our bucket list: A ship. We had been naked on a boat before, like the time we went on a half-day … Read more
Belgium counts about 10 naturist resorts. Did you guess that? Don’t worry if you didn’t, even most Belgian naturists don’t know this. Most will come up with about two or three resorts, and there’s a 95% percent chance that the ones they name are the Athena campsites. The Athena club was founded in 1955 by Irène and Robert Lambrechts, who were also co-founders of the Belgian Naturist Federation. Today, Athena is still a family … Read more

During the last couple of years, the region has also become more and more interesting for the naked traveler. Several naturist resorts have opened up their doors, of which Finca Soñada has been … Read more
Our visit to Samonatura, in the very south of Portugal’s Alentejo region, had quite some emotional value. Not only would this be our last stop in the country, the moment when we would leave Samonatura would also be the end of our huge nude European road trip. Well, all good things have to come to an end eventually and as soon as we walked into Samonatura we knew that we couldn’t have picked a better … Read more
