The 10 Best Clothing-Optional Resorts

Clothing-optional resorts have come a long way from the “nudist camps” of the past that had the feel of a basic summer camp. Today’s top clothing-optional resorts are upscale, luxurious tropical retreats. Most are targeted toward people who enjoy being in the sun “au naturel,” but some cater to vacationers looking for an erotic getaway. Most of the top-rated clothing-optional resorts are all-inclusive, and almost all are adults-only (18+ or 21+).

Au naturel resorts tend to have guidelines in place to ensure that guests feel comfortable. These include not allowing photography of any kind; prohibiting staring or “gawking” at other guests; prohibiting public displays of intimate touching or sexual acts, and prohibiting sexual advances toward other guests or staff.

If you’re interested in spicing up your next couples’ getaway at a clothing-optional resort, here are the 10 top clothing-optional resorts in the world.

What people say about us

We worked with Mike to plan our perfect honeymoon in Greece — he was amazing the whole way through and put together a trip we will cherish for our lifetime.

He was thoughtful with our suggestions, and provided some of his own without every pushing us. He stayed within our budgetary means but made it feel like we had a budget twice the size. 

Alex

Dan and Michelle were such a joy to work with! They really made our trip and cruise successful. Based on our needs they were able to help us identify and schedule what side trips and activities would best suit our interests.

After this trip I will be using a travel agent for future vacations…just can’t wait for the next one they help us plan!

Elizabeth

Honeymoon Always has been fantastic- our trips were 1000% better because of their help. The first time we used them we wanted to have a fun trip with some cultural experiences, good food, not too packed, and for a good price. It was fantastic and now we've used them for several trips in Europe, Central America, and the Caribbean. Each trip was so different but they were able to make each one special and unique to our needs.
