Naturism during your holidays does not necessarily mean spending them in an approved center or having a club card: the fact remains that France is the leading naturist destination in Europe and therefore offers a wide range of choice of reception centers, which combine the possibility of a naked life in contact with nature and more organized activities, entertainment for children or fitness areas for parents, all this in a sunny climate and in heavenly places. Here are some particularly pleasant places spread across France:
In France
In Corsica, the camping village of Riva Bella, 7 kilometers from Aléria on the east coast, offers an area of 70 hectares in the heart of nature, with a wild beach and a view of the mountains. But the less conventional will find on the Isle of Beauty a number of coves or lost rivers where they can enjoy their desire to be naked in peace …
In the Gard, three centers come together a few kilometers away, on the banks of the Cèze, very close to the Ardèche. The best equipped is the Domaine de la Sablière, whose accommodation ranges from simple tents to luxurious chalets, all on a very extensive and wooded area, with swimming pools, fitness trail, and a beautiful riverfront beach.
On the outskirts of Paris, the Héliomonde center allows city-dwellers who are fond of naturism to escape for a few days and forget their stress which they get rid of at the same time as their clothes: in a preserved environment on the edge of Beauce, you will find an area of 47 hectares without a car, where you can meet deer and pheasants, but also practice various activities or swim in a supervised swimming pool.
In the Médoc, the naturist village of Euronat manages to combine certain gigantism (335 hectares by the sea in the pine forest, a beach 1.5 km long) with the art of living in harmony with its privileged setting. Cycling, trying archery, getting a massage, playing in the waves, the center is ideal for family vacations in complete safety and relaxation.
In Midi-Pyrénées, the Eglantière area is located between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean on the banks of the Gers and offers small natural beaches for swimming, fly fishing, or canoeing. Naturist trails also allow you to explore the area and discover a rich and varied flora and fauna.
In Provence, at the foot of Mont Ventoux, the Bélézy estate is located in the middle of a pine forest, and it promotes fair trade, sustainable development, and local productions. It also has an educational farm where children can milk a goat, feed a duck, maintain the vegetable garden, bake bread and find fresh eggs laid by the hens …
In the world
France may well be one of the first naturist destinations, naturism enthusiasts can also find their happiness abroad, whether in countries close to France or in more distant or downright exotic places.
A quick overview of naturists who want to see the country …
Very close by, Belgium offers a beach lost in the wild dunes where you can also enjoy bike rides in unspoiled nature: Bredene, dunes and the sea, is a beach frequented in its naturist part by bathers from all over the world.
Andalusia, more tempting with its southern position for fans of heat and sun, offers you its coves around Almeria; in particular, near the village of Vera, the Vera Playa site offers you a privileged location with many possible activities, between visits and water sports.
On the island of Lanzarote in the Canaries, the naturist village of Charco del Palo welcomes you in optimal conditions of comfort: apartments or villas, restaurants, supermarkets, shops, and various services. The swimming pool in the hollow of the rocks or the surrounding coves will refresh you after the walks in the dunes.
Ditto for Croatia, with the naturist village of Vrsar, built on a site of one hundred hectares planted with pines and olive trees by the sea: as a bonus, a small island connected by a bridge to the estate, the island of Koversada. In addition to pleasant accommodation in bungalows, you will benefit from restaurants, shops, bars, but also boat and windsurf rentals, tennis courts, sports grounds, and various activities.
The south coast of Crete, for its part, has a site dedicated to naturism with the Vritomartis hotel, in the region of Skakia, by the Libyan sea. If naturism is not in the hotel itself or on the road that leads to the beach, the beach itself and the surroundings of the swimming pool openly favor it, and the numerous coves around it constitute an idyllic setting for the practice of naturism as well as for diving, sailing and other water sports.
Much further from us, Brazil is also home to a paradisiacal place to practice naturism: the helio-marine center of Juruba, on the island of Araujo, allows the combination of nudism and the discovery of still tropical nature. You can also discover the pretty town of Paraty, a colonial city classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Even more exotic, on the island of Saint-Martin in the West Indies, the Club Orient combines luxury and naturist life, offering you its individual chalets located on a white-sand beach, its bar-restaurant with musical entertainment, its library, its massages, and a range of activities ranging from catamarans to horseback riding.
Finally, in Florida, Miami has one of the only naturist beaches in the state: Haulover Beach stretches along the Atlantic, with its dunes and white sand, as well as equipped picnic areas. Here you can taste the sensation of the powerful ocean waves while swimming or surfing naked.
