The Rise of Nude Vacations: Embrace Your ‘Nakation’

When you think you’ve seen and done it all, what’s next? More and more individuals are choosing to enjoy life au naturel. From reality shows featuring people surviving naked in remote locations to those seeking love through nude dating, the trend of shedding clothes on vacation is growing. A notable number of travelers have left their swimsuits behind and embraced the freedom of nude vacations.

Opting for a nude vacation, often referred to as a ‘Nakation’, offers a uniquely liberating experience. Ask avid ‘Nakationers’ why they prefer this lifestyle, and common responses reveal a variety of themes.

The Pleasure of Being Au Naturel

Being nude is simply liberating. The sensation of a warm breeze against bare skin promotes a sense of freedom unlike any other. There’s no discomfort from a wet swimsuit or sand in unwanted places. It’s a transformative experience that, once enjoyed, will make you wonder why you didn’t try it sooner.

Stress Relief and Relaxation

Spending a couple of weeks nude can be a natural way to relieve stress. While it may seem simple, this lifestyle experience doesn’t imply a lack of comfort. If you seek tranquility, places like Orient Land Trust in Colorado offer clothing-optional areas surrounded by natural beauty. For those who desire comfort while enjoying the freedom of nudity, many European naturist resorts provide hotel-style accommodations complete with excellent dining options and leisure facilities.

Resorts like Euronat and La Jenny on France’s Atlantic coast can host thousands of guests amidst scenic pine woods and long stretches of beach. Once you arrive, the only clothes you’ll need are the ones you wear when you depart two weeks later. Here, you can dine, shop, dance, swim, enjoy recreational activities, and even get beauty treatments—without donning a single garment.

Find Community and Acceptance

Experiencing nudity with others can be remarkably uplifting. Being surrounded by naked individuals removes social barriers; you cannot discern their professions or wealth, allowing for genuine interactions devoid of preconceptions.

In Ontario, road signs guide visitors to ‘Family Nudist Resorts’, while public beaches in Spain predominantly encourage clothing-optional practices. There, the presence or absence of clothing is irrelevant.

In France and Spain, naturist areas extend beyond resort walls, allowing you to explore local neighborhoods with nothing but a smile. For those seeking quieter lodging, naturist B&Bs are becoming increasingly available. Alternatively, consider joining a nude cruise with thousands of fellow liberated travelers—an unforgettable way to connect with like-minded souls.

The acceptance of social nudity is expanding globally, especially in North America, where the concept of nude vacations is becoming mainstream. Each year, more individuals discover the liberating feeling that comes with embracing their natural state, while the tourism industry recognizes the growing appeal of these unique experiences.

So, if you believed that lying on a sunny beach in a minimal swimsuit was relaxing, imagine doing it in the nude. If you find freedom in the fresh air, you’re bound to enjoy it even more when unclad. Common activities such as yoga, tennis, hiking, and luxuriating in hot springs take on a new dimension when enjoyed without clothing.

Experience all these activities—and countless more—in the nude. Shed your clothes, inhibitions, and prejudices; liberate your mind and body as you let the world’s troubles drift away. The best part? You travel light. Simply pack flip-flops, a towel, and sunscreen—plenty of sunscreen!
