While naturist vacations in Italy are still somewhat new, Suncave Gardens is certainly the very new kid on the block. Only about a year and a half ago, this first naturist resort in the Lazio region opened its doors. From the first day of our stay, we felt that Suncave was not like most other naturist places we’ve visited before. Yet the atmosphere felt very familiar. Then a memory from EcoParque da Mata in Brazil … Read more
Oh, how much have we been looking forward to this moment? Finally, the Europe part of our nude journey around the world has kicked off! Not that we didn’t like the other continents, certainly not. But Europe is still the place to find the widest variety of naturist options. Which happens to be exactly what we are looking for. The first country on our itinerary, Italy, might not be THAT famous for naturism (yet). However, … Read more
We were planning to spend our last days in Colombia in style. Meanwhile, we had visited Colombia’s only official nude beach and we had enjoyed several great meetups with local nudist groups (more about that next week). The only thing which was missing on our list was a place where we could spend day and night in the nude. Almost by accident, with the help of our growing nudist contact list, we had discovered that … Read more
Naturism and nudism mean different things to different people. We’ve been through this subject maybe a hundred times before. It’s a lifestyle which attracts people for many different reasons which are all completely fine. Naturism does contain the word “nature” and is therefore the preferred term for whom the link between nudity and nature is important. If we look at it from that point of view, there will be few naturist places that deserve the … Read more
One of the big advantages of being full-time naturist travel bloggers is that we get the opportunity to visit some of the most famous nudist resorts in the world. Bare Oaks in Canada, CHM Monta in France, Hidden Beach in Mexico, or Oriental Village in Thailand, only to name a few. And all of that in little more than a year. But what we like equally as much (if not more) is when we can … Read more
Praia do Pinho in Brazil’s Santa Catarina state at somewhat 80 kilometers north of Florianópolis is a huge milestone for naturism in Brazil. It’s often considered Brazil’s first naturist beach (although opinions tend to differ), where social nudity was practiced before it was even legal in the country. The first naturists were spotted at Praia do Pinho in the early eighties. By 1986 a local naturist association AAPP (Friends of Praia do Pinho) was … Read more
The opinions about whether or not naturism can flourish in Brazil tend to differ. One side claims that due to the fact that Brazilians are already known to wear as little as possible at the beach it should be easy for them to also leave those last square centimeters of fabric behind. The other side will tell you that it’s just those little patches that make the step so difficult. When you’re only cherishing little, … Read more
We had very little idea about what we were going to find in Uruguay. When we traveled extensively through South America about 6 years ago, we somehow had forgotten about this little country. Lonely Planet doesn’t mention many world-class highlights and at the time we just followed the main sights of Argentina, only to notice that we had skipped Uruguay when we were already enjoying the Brazilian coast. This time we had some nude … Read more
Where can you find the largest naturist resort in the world? YES! You’re right! In Argentina. How did you know this? You didn’t, did you? No worries, we had no clue either until we started researching naturist places in Argentina and stumbled upon a 1200ha (this is not a typo) naturist resort called Yatan Rumi. Naturism in Argentina is not exactly a huge thing (yet), but still, they have the largest place in the world, … Read more
The other day we were looking at our Nakation map and started counting the countries in which we have stayed at naturist camping and resorts (yeah, we do that from time to time and we have to admit that it does fill us with some pride). Thirteen! We have stayed at naturist spots in thirteen different countries, spread over four different continents. Pretty cool, right? And then we noticed a blank spot: Belgium. Our … Read more
