Overview
Before we dive in and discover all the incredible resorts that I’ve found, I’ll do a quick overview for anyone who hasn’t stayed in these types of resorts before or for those who need a refresher!
Clothing-optional resorts are accommodations where guests have the freedom to wear or not wear clothes in certain designated areas of the resort, such as pools, beaches, and even dining areas.
Usually, the concept of these hotels is to create a comfortable, judgment-free atmosphere where people can relax and feel very liberated.
The rules tend to differ from resort to resort, as some allow full nudity only in certain areas like pools and beaches, while some accommodations permit full nudity throughout the property.
As for the types of guests that these resorts attract, you’ll mostly find single people and couples. Although you can totally stay in a clothing-optional resort with a group.

- Be open-minded while there, it’s normal to feel nervous at first however once you get to socialize with the other guests and see that you’re not alone in feeling nervous, you’ll feel more relaxed
- Engage in the activities and experiences that the resort offers, they are designed to make you feel more comfortable and interact with others, which will help create a sense of community, where you’re around like-minded people

- Respect people’s boundaries and don’t try to force them into activities that they’re not comfortable with
- Do a bit of research on what type of parties and themed nights the resort you’re staying at offers so you can pack accordingly

- Pick the right resort for you, some places may cater more to couples, singles or LGBTQ+ members
