CAP D'AGDE is the largest naturist centre in the world and is situated on the Mediterranean coast of the South of France. It takes its name from the nearby old town of Agde. For naturists, Cap d'Agde represents total freedom. You have only to visit the resort to see why. It is so much more than just a naturist beach or a nudist resort. It is a fully-fledged naturist town, complete with supermarkets, restaurants, bars, cafes, hairdressers, boutiques, delicatessens, butchers, bakers, post office, bank, cashpoints, and doctor. You can go where you like, do as you please, without clothes. In early and late season, the mood is one of total relaxation and suits the traditional naturist. You can spend lazy days lounging by one of the pools or basking in the sun on the beach. In mid summer, the pace increases as the town fills up with cosmopolitan people of all ages. In the evenings many are drawn to the bars – the Johnny Wokker Pub is favourite – and nightclubs. You can enjoy the lively, almost hedonistic, atmosphere in establishments like the Villa Romaine complex, or parade at Port Nature in outlandish attire!

THE NATURIST villages of Aphrodite and Club Oasis (opened in 1990 as an extension of the old Aphrodite Village) are in the Roussillon region of the South of France. They are an oasis of tranquility: no through traffic, no regular discos, an uncrowded wide sand and shingle beach, and a family atmosphere. Both resorts are located in the naturist section of the Port Leucate development, 22 miles north of Perpignan, which is on a narrow four mile strip of land with sandy beaches on one side and an 8,000 acre salt lake at the foot of the Corbières mountains on the other.
Aphrodite is a self-contained village, comprising a self-service store, restaurant, take-away, boutique for souvenirs and beach articles, newsagents and laundry. There are also card-operated international phone boxes. The shops are open from early June to mid-September. A post office, further shops and bistros can be found year-round in the old village of Leucate, some four miles away. Sports facilities include a fresh-water swimming pool, three tennis courts, a boating marina and windsurfing. Tuition is available in some of these sports. There is textile horse riding, windsurfing and sailing at nearby Port Leucate.
The focal point of the village is the swimming pool, faced by the club house with restaurant and bar. A modern tennis court is just behind. The shopping centre in the neighboring Aphrodite naturist village is also open to residents of Club Oasis. Further shops, bistros and the post office can be found in the village of Leucate some four miles away.

LA JENNY naturist village opened in 1983 in a remote pine forest of nearly 300 acres. It is a 'young' resort but has a wide range of activities and facilities for all ages. Yet the detached bungalows and studio blocks are in quiet residential areas which form the shapes of daisies around central islands. Total capacity is for only 2,500 residents. A 'close-to-nature' concept is evident throughout, and all the staff are naturists.
LA JENNY CLUB As La Jenny is for members only, temporary club membership is obligatory. We can arrange this for you and add the cost to your vacation invoice. Membership gives you access to the following facilities, mainly from June 18 to September 10: a magnificent heated pool of nearly 1,200 sq. yards; 10 tennis courts and a training wall; table tennis; volleyball; karaoke; supervised clubs for kids (2-11yrs) and teenagers (12-18yrs)
The following activities are also available (when there are sufficient participants): gymnastics, yoga, archery, aerobics, keep-fit, water polo, concerts, dances and shows. Tennis lessons, diving lessons in the pool, sauna, fitness centre, and baby-sitting are available at a nominal charge, as are golfing and golf lessons on a 4-hole training course. The golden sandy beach is a pleasant 20 minute (naturist) walk away, through the endless pine forest (nature conservation area) and over the sand dunes. By bicycle, it takes only a few minutes to the large bicycle park behind the beach.
This part of France is very sparsely populated. Therefore, this fine naturist beach is almost open-ended for walking, although life guards supervise only one section of the beach. There are cold showers near the beach.

EURONAT OPENED in 1976, a few miles up the road from Montalivet which had just started bursting at its seams! Larger than its neighbor, but with fewer travelers, Euronat is not spoiled by overcrowding. It is a well established naturist holiday and residential resort with an excellent reputation. Naturism is compulsory, weather permitting.
It is built in extensive grounds among pine trees and on sandy soil - which makes an ideal beach just across the dunes and also makes grapes grow well in the vast vineyards behind. This region of France is the Médoc. The wine villages of St Estephe and Margaux, and the vineyards of Château Lafite and Château Mouton-Rothschild, are just a short drive away.
The shopping consists of three supermarkets, four restaurants and a snack bar, a take-out (French-style), butcher, bakery, fishmonger, boutique, bank, laundromat, newsa stand, bicycle rental, arcade, and also a sports shop and direct-dial public telephones. A free Kindergarten operates in July and August for children aged 3-7 years.
Euronat is one of the few naturist centres in Europe to have an indoor heated swimming pool. It measures 95ft by 40ft and is one of the main attractions. There is also an open-air fun pool with water slide. Euronat also has a health center with qualified staff offering sauna, relaxation massage, muscle toning, gymnastics, aerobics, UVA sun bed and hydrotherapy facilities. Sports activities include tennis, volleyball, riding, archery, minigolf, table tennis, judo, basketball and football. There are also handicraft workshops.

BEYOND THE high-rise townships of Malaga, Torremolinos and Fuengirola a large number of luxurious vacation clubs have been developed around Marbella and west along Spain's Costa del Sol. One of these exclusive clubs is Costa Natura, the first official naturist resort on the Spanish mainland. Costa Natura has over 200 apartments. The striking architecture is typically Andalusian, with white walls, curved tiles and patios which open out to the luscious palm-fringed gardens and the sea. The beautiful layout mixes colorful flower beds with clusters of apartments and a few imposing 'pyramids' which blend well into the rising ground.
The focal point of the resort is the swimming pool, heated by solar power. It is surrounded by pleasant sunbathing lawns, with a number of lounge chairs available. Showers, sauna and a jacuzzi are nearby. Overlooking the pool is the restaurant/bar with a large open-air terrace. Once a week, there is evening entertainment in the restaurant (typically a Spanish trio, a folklore show, a guitarist, games, or dancing). The supermarket stocks basic food and drink. Other items such as fresh meat, newspapers, etc are supplied to order (one day later).
A volleyball court, table tennis, and massage are available and a tennis court (textile) is nearby. There is a large number of golf courses on the Costa del Sol. The nearest are at Estepona, El Paraiso and at Sotogrande, each a 20 minute drive away. Cars may be hired from Reception on a daily basis. (Recommended for sightseeing, shopping and eating out.)
The beach front of Costa Natura extends over 650 yards. The depth of the beach changes considerably with the tide, and it shelves fairly steeply. There is fine, grey sand, covered by shingle in places, and a few rocks. The sea temperature fluctuates greatly with the changing currents. Sun umbrellas and loungers are all available for hire on the beach. From lunchtime, the beach bar serves teas, freshly pressed juices and all other drinks.
Note: There are plans for major building works alongside Costa Natura in 2006.

HOTEL VRITOMARTIS is a colorful oasis in a rocky wilderness. The gardens are an abundance of color, particularly in May, with geraniums, oleander, bougainvillea and mulberry, pine, eucalyptus, olive and palm trees. With Europe's southernmost point being on Crete, the weather here is ideal even for early and late season holidays. Hotel Vritomartis (‘sweet virgin') is named after the Minoan goddess of hunting. It opened in 1989 and has a total of 85 rooms. Situated on the south-west coast of the island, Chora Sfakion (pop. 200, also known as Sfakia) is the nearest village to Hotel Vritomartis. It used to be a quiet fishing village, but is now a port for the ferries to the remote beaches/villages of Loutro and Agia Roumeli and a transit point for many tourists. There are several restaurants, souvenir shops, supermarkets, a post office and a cash machine. Naturism is usual in the grounds, around the glorious pool and on the beach, but not inside the main building or anywhere between sunset and sunrise.

IN 1994 the world's first “all-inclusive” clothing-optional resort opened in the Dominican Republic: the Paradise Beach Resort. This has since changed its name to Eden Bay Resort, to avoid confusion with other hotels of a similar name, and re-opened in 2003. Built for American naturist investors, many of whom visit their property several times a year, the resort offers superb facilities and a choice of very spacious and well-equipped accommodations. This private estate is totally secluded from the outside world due to the walled front entrance and the natural high and rugged cliffs encompassing the beach and lower areas. The Latin-American temperament of the friendly locals is infectious, and you will soon become part of their laid-back life style: Lap up the sun, enjoy exotic rum-based cocktails and leave any strenuous activities until mañana …
Between Cuba and Puerto Rico lies the second largest island in the Caribbean, Hispaniola, which was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492. While the western end represents Haiti, the remainder of the island is taken up by the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic (not to be confused with the island of Dominica) is a developing country with a magnificent tropical climate and vegetation: there are lush green mountains, rain forests and turquoise seas. Coffee, tobacco, cocoa and cane sugar (most of it turned into rum!) are the main produce. Amber, a fossilised resin (remember Jurassic Park?), is mined locally and crafted into ornaments. After hundreds of years of colonialism, a distinctly Spanish influence is evident everywhere – the language, architecture, local music – merengue – and even the afternoon siesta.

CLUB ORIENT takes its name from Orient Bay, one of the finest beaches in the world. It has sparkling white sands, lapped by crystal clear waters. This first clothes-optional resort in the Caribbean was opened in 1981 on the island of St Martin. Clothes are optional at all times throughout the resort, including the offices, shop, restaurant and the beach. The beautiful tropical climate is the same year-round. The mean annual air temperature is 27°C (80°F), cooled constantly by the gentle Trade Winds. The water temperature is the same. Thus Club Orient is a year-round holiday destinations. Club Orient was developed by a Dutch family who are still running it. It is set on a tropical beach on a peninsula of about 30 acres. There are magnificent views of the rolling evergreen countryside and of the small islands in the bay. Club Orient blends perfectly with the scenery; all buildings are single story. The red pine studios and mini-suites are log cabins from Finland, and the concrete-built chalets are painted to match the sand around them. The superior accommodations makes Club Orient an away-from-it-all holiday paradise.

FLAMINGO AIRPORT is, appropriately, the gateway to Bonaire. This island is one of the few remaining breeding grounds for the gracious and shy flamingos. Their name and bright pink color have been taken by numerous businesses on the island for their corporate identities. Bonaire has created a protected ecological environment. One-fifth of the island is a national park which includes numerous species of wildlife. It has a flamingo sanctuary, and wild donkeys and goats roam the countryside freely. The whole island is surrounded by coral reefs, which look like a blue ring from the air and make it a divers' paradise. The beauty of the colorful underwater world is absolutely breathtaking, though strictly enforced local laws protect these natural wonders: no anchoring, no spearfishing, even touching the coral is forbidden. There are over 350 fish species.
Sorobon Beach was built by a Dutch couple in 1984 as a small naturist retreat on one of Bonaire's two sandy beaches. It has since changed ownership (but remains in Dutch hands), has been updated and expanded and now has 30 well-appointed units. The resident population includes 16 staff, numerous sugarbirds (put a bowl of sugary water on your terrace and make yourself firm friends) and a lovely family of iguanas.

JAMAICA IS the third largest of the Greater Antilles and the largest of the English-speaking Caribbean islands.

The country is very mountainous, with the highest point, Blue Mountain Peak, reaching 7,402 ft. With an average temperature of 82º F the many fine beaches are particularly inviting, however, between June and October hurricane activity may occur.

BE WICKED for a week! Stay up late! Give up counting calories! Have a drink before noon! Give up mineral water! Talk to strangers! Don't make your bed! Don't call your mother! Let your hair down! Don't pay for anything! Don't leave a tip! Be your beautiful self! Be a hedonist! At Hedonism the pleasure comes in many forms! Hedonism II, affectionately referred to as Hedo, evolved in 1981 from the Negril Beach Village (which could be described as Hedo I). Hedonism II and III are well-known in Britain as the stars of the television series 'Pleasure Island' and 'Caribbean Uncovered'. (However, there is a general strict no photography rule.)
Stretched along the northern end of Negril's fabulous 7-mile beach, Hedo II comprises two parts, one 'prude', the other nude, set in 22 acres of landscaped gardens with tropical plants and soaring guango, palm and fruit trees. There is even a small bird park with mainly native Jamaican birds! All facilities are available to all residents, but swimwear must be worn where facilities are located on the prude side. Hedo II's newer sister resort, Hedonism III, was opened in 1998 on the northern coast of Jamaica. It has very similar facilities and atmosphere.
Hedonism ('the pursuit of pleasure as a way of life') is the ultimate place for self-indulgent adults. Free spirits from around the world are attracted to Hedo's liberal lifestyle and uninhibited party atmosphere. Anything and everything goes, shocking and stimulating. Motto: If it feels good, do it! A holiday at Hedo is not for those who shock easily, you can be as mild or as wild and exhibitionist as you like: it's entirely up to you.

The resort is set in a private 101-acre estate and has been designed to blend harmoniously with the natural landscape. More than 1,500 trees, majestic oaks and mature palms are found throughout the resort. Lush landscaping surrounds the three placid lakes giving splashes of color at most times of the year. There is even a two-mile nature trail, designed for walking, jogging or cycling! Caliente is a self-contained village with shopping, eating and drinking, entertainment facilities and activities all on site. The luxurious amenities are equally suited to just relax and do nothing at all – and why not be pampered in the amazing Spa. Caliente has a mock-Spanish flavor to it with terracotta-tiled roofs and Spanish names for all facilities – “Caliente” means hot!
All the facilities of the resort are grouped in and around the two-story Clubhouse in a 16-acre area – two restaurants, five bars, nightclub/disco with a cutting-edge sound and video system, seven pools – including the quarter-acre Lagoon Pool with two islands and the Grotto Waterfall, two hot tubs, state-of-the-art fitness centre, sauna, steam baths, six pro tennis courts (three clay), two water volleyball pools and two sand volleyball courts, basketball court, two shuffleboard courts, aerobics and a children's playground. There is also a Guest Services Reception, a mall of 16 shops, a library, a laundry and an ATM machine. There are four golf courses within 20 minutes drive.
The Spa offers luxury service – facials, hand and foot care, hydrotherapy, body treatments, massage menu, multiple packages, waxing, eye and lip care etc. Because of the internal distances, Caliente operates a complimentary stretch-golf-cart shuttle service between the Clubhouse and the residential areas. (Many residents also have their own golf buggies for which special parking areas are provided – with electric hook-ups to recharge the batteries overnight!)
The resort is clothes-optional, including the Clubhouse, but all wet areas are clothes-free! Most people stay nude throughout, day or night.
