Nudist spa/camp

Hi guys,

Me and my wife recently discovered that we like to have sex under the stars in front of a fire which happened to be at a wild camp site and quite possibly could of been seen by anyone. Surprisingly We both admitted that we was really turned on by that thought of being naked in the open and potentially being watched. We are now talking about trying out a nudist spa or hotel that allows for couples to attend and walk around naked etc where we can have fun together whilst possibly being watched by other couples. Does anything like this exist in the uk or europe? If so can people share their experiences please. I would love to know peoples thoughts on this new adventure we want to explore.

Thankyou

Resorts that advertise themselves as swinger resorts could be what might interest you.

It’s not our scene but one that jumps out at me are the Hendoism resorts in the Caribbean. I could be wrong but I think Spain or Italy has one as well (although I am unfamiliar)

Hi there, I agree with the poster above that most traditional UK places would chuck you out within ten minutes, naturism is a wholesome non-sexual, often family activity.

We are a long term naturist couple with a great reputation within the community, well known at events all over the UK and really enjoy the lifestyle, we wouldn’t wish to jeopardise this. However… as we have joined this community recently, it shows we have another side to our activities that we keep hidden from most.

Winning the bingo would be the highlight of most naturist’s weekend. Some of the ‘daring’ ones may even enjoy naked dancing to a covers band with 20 others but not us really :imp:

So you see what you’re up against for your desires. The only permanent true Naturist spa & hotel is a famous one in Birmingham that’s been on tv a few times. A wonderful place we visited a lot, but you’ll have to go to your room for anything more than even a smile.

We have been aware of a long established naked spa and sauna near Brighton Marina but haven’t yet visited. It apparently has some playrooms upstairs that can be used privately or with others. Online reviews seem favourable.

Happy to advise more if anyone wants. We have enjoyed outdoor sex for many years, but only knowingly been observed twice. Not by design but accidentally, as we try to be very discreet even in very open places. Can’t say it detracted from the moment though… :innocent:

Theres a club in Liverpool called Townhouse that do sex party nights. The owner has a podcast called the padded cell where she talks about the club in some episodes and what to expect.
There’s also a hotel in birmingham called Xtasia who do party nights etc.
I have attened either as its not my scene but both have websites.
You may find events etc on fetlife also.
Hope that helps

As @Simon_101 nudism and having sex in the open don’t go together in my experience and you would be asked to leave if caught. You might find a secluded spot as mentioned, I’ve read that people play in the dunes behind the naked area of Studland beach but I’ve never seen this and just wouldn’t take the risk. Studland is also patrolled by the National Trust staff to ensure appropriate behaviour so you risk more than just the anger of other nudists.

There are certainly swinger clubs that offer spa facilities, outdoor areas and even a fake dogging areas complete with park benches and car bonnets. My partner loves being watched and watching. We also enjoy nudism but would never combine the two. Swinging clubs allow the exhibition side in an adult only environment without risk of offending anyone

This is correct. We’ve been there, although not since before Covid. I’m not sure forum rules allow naming it, but if you Google ‘naturist’, ‘spa’ and ‘Brighton’, you’ll find it easily enough.

Although they call themselves a naturist spa, it is true that a bit of swinging does go on, in the top floor playrooms, and it is excellent for exhibitionism and voyeurism. It’s a cool place, and we highly recommend it.

Otherwise, everything that other experienced naturists have said here about public sex at bona fide naturist resorts and clubs applies. In the UK, France and Spain (with the exception of well-known places openly set up for swingers), naturism means the sex is strictly private.

Another option is a quaint small villa we found in Corfu that is ‘naturist’, but set up for ‘adult-type holidays’. Their website emphasises that it is not suitable for ‘hard party’ couples, and when we visited, it seemed geared up for couples who just wanted to have outdoor sex with the possibility of being watched or watching, rather than swinging. So it’s a good place to try, especially if you are beginner naturists or exhibitionists.

In the event, we only saw one other couple have sex there. Ironically, that made it much more of a challenge than wilder places we have visited, because my wife thought the pressure of being the only couple having public sex was too much!

We were a bit unlucky that most of the other guests during that fortnight were just there for the naturism, but if you want to have sex by the pool, for instance, and you are feeling brave, you can.

We still laugh about our arrival at the place. The (very friendly) hosts double-checked that we were aware of the set-up as they couldn’t believe we were ‘the type’. We must look so innocent!

Find it by Googling ‘Corfu’, ‘naturist’ and ‘villa’.

There is (at least was) a place in Brighton that had a couples night on a Friday, they have rooms where you can have fun either as a couple or as a group.

I recently to my horror discovered there’s a one of a kind gay camping place not far from me and I had to look into it out of curiosity and saw things my poor eyes will never be able to wash out :flushed::rofl:
Needless to say I’m not booking a stay there anytime soon !

I think I missed your post as I was writing mine, the club you mentioned in Birmingham/West Bromwich has an outdoor area and dogging area . I wasn’t sure you could post names here. There are many other open areas at that club that you can play in if you want an audience including

  • Cinema in Flirts (the pub), seats available for those watching.
  • Dungeon including beds in Flirts with sofas
  • Huge open play area in the main club lounge
  • Playrooms off lounge (I think there is a viewing window and no door.
  • Downstairs orgy room, open doors (main club)
  • Downstairs dungeon (main club) behind the main dungeon toy area
  • Room with camera (main club) not recorded but video shown in lounge I think or maybe the bar although porn was showing in the lounge last time we were there. Maybe that’s when the room is not in use?

In addition rooms that can be locked have mirrors on the ceiling and a gap in the walls so you can always be seen to some extent.

Check the website for events, sometimes they run different events in the pub to the main club over weekends and weekdays I’m unsure if it’s all open. The staff are really friendly and will provide a tour to new members which I’d recommend. There are far more play rooms hidden about than the ones that are immediately obvious

Ok I need to find more, I see naturist places and sex places as different for same reason as many have already said. I have been to a gay sex club in London, was fun. I have heard of a couple of other places but want to know more. Naturist places wise I love a nude beach.

Of course @sobeit42 in the UK as the law stands, all beaches are nude beaches, no need to travel halfway around the country.

I’m not suggesting sitting in the middle of Margate beach on a BH Monday is the thing to do either, but with a bit of discretion many places can be used.

A ‘natural’ style beach is better than a large seawall with a prom behind it so you’re not overlooked as much. We are naturists more than exhibitionists, so aren’t seeking watchers.

Don’t set up right in the sandhills (may attract the meerkats) but put your beach shelter/windbreak where the dunes meet the main beach, also allow 20 yards at least from others if it is busier.

No-one will realise you are naked unless you draw attention to yourself. Carry on with your sunbathing. reading, picnic or whatever just as if you had a costume on :sun_with_face:

If it is quieter, you may feel able to walk to the water. If you are a solo male however, I appreciate that would need more care. As an experienced m/f Naturist couple, we have never had an issue in 20+ years of enjoying our coastline like this, respect for others is key

There is plenty of good advice here, but I always feel compelled, when the subject of nude beaches comes up, to point out that there is far more to naturism than a couple of hours of getting sand up your bum.

I accept that some people are quite happy when they are relaxing on a beach - naked or otherwise - and, yes, it can be an ideal place to take the plunge and experience public nudity for the first time.

So I am not saying don’t do it, but I am saying to would-be or new naturists: think about the next level, such as joining a club and/or booking a naturist holiday.

For a start, there isn’t much social interaction on a beach, so I wouldn’t count it as proper ‘social nudity’, whereas a club or resort genuinely are.

Meanwhile, limiting your naturist ambitions to beaches may not be very attractive to reluctant partners, who are a massive dilemma for the majority of would-be naturists.

It’s usually assumed they are reluctant because they can’t imagine what they would get out of it, or they are nervous about it, or they have self-body image issues, but I believe that a more common reason is they think it’s all about beaches, and simply don’t think that sounds very exciting.

My wife was like that until we opened up whole new social opportunities, changed our outlook on life and upped our lifestyle by becoming proper naturists.

It makes it so much more interesting and inspiring, and the exhilaration and liberation you feel when you are naked and interacting with like-minded people 24/7 or even for an entire holiday is far superior to solitary sunbathing for a couple of hours at a time.

Another thing about naturism is it often turns up on adult or sex forums because of the assumption that it goes hand-in-hand with sex. And it does, but not in the way most people imagine. Bona fide naturists aren’t there because they are hoping for an orgy (and it isn’t going to happen), but we do know that being naked all day does get you in the mood for happy sexy fun in the evening, in a way that sitting on a beach probably wouldn’t.

I must repeat that if you like the idea of visiting a nude beach, that’s good - and please go for it. But it’s only a first step, and there are so many great reasons for taking it up a notch or two.

I can’t argue with this. Before the kids were off our hands so we could book naturist holidays, the extent of our naturism was a day out in the summer for my birthday treat each year.

Many of the British clubs we visited on those days out seemed to be going out of their way to put people off naturism, including the vast majority of people being clothed unless it was particularly hot or they were within spitting distance of the pool.

Many British clubs either have full-time residents or rented chalets and caravans, and it seems that many of the people owning these are not really interested in being naked. Maybe the novelty has worn off, but it was a bit like visiting a tennis club and finding out that most of the paid-up members weren’t really that keen on tennis.

A couple of times we were the only people naked, which didn’t bother me much, but my wife was seriously put off, and we actually vowed never to join a club.

Even worse: many clubs were/are stuck in the 1950s or 1960s, and in that respect you are not wrong with the Carry On films association. As we always put it: British naturist clubs are generally more Butlin’s than Centerparcs, which British members of this forum will understand. Basically: they seem to glory in roughing it and being old-fashioned and twee, while continental venues are much more modern. So experiencing quality naturist venues in Europe actually put us off joining a club even more.

It was while visiting a naturist forum that a member of a nearby club got in touch and said that club was different, including a strict rule about staying nude unless it was especially cold, and there was no excuse because they had a really efficient wood burner and good facilities, including a sauna and hot tub.

Even better: the members turned out to be very welcoming, sociable and committed to naturism, without being evangelistic.

So there are good clubs out there, that make naturism in Britain viable all year, where you can make real friends, and they provide the right atmosphere to relax in until we can get naked for two weeks in Spain, France or Croatia.

I can’t name the club as they would not appreciate being mentioned on a sex forum.

I couldn’t agree more with @MrGoodGuy & @2xtourists !

I’m not going to repeat every point, but as myself and o/h have been social naturists for around two decade & been to many clubs as visitors, some of the points may seem scathing, but we would be even more critical of some places.

On the main Naturist forum, one of the most recurring threads is “Why can’t single males join clubs ?” I often would like to reply “Why on earth would you :grinning: ?” I realise we all want different experiences, but if you enjoy regular black-tie dinner-dances with people with the mindset of your grand-parents then go ahead.

One such club we attended at an open-weekend in our motorhome around ten years ago. After our al-fresco own meal we wandered over to the bar around 8.30pm and were ushered out by a committee member (in a full suit !) for being naked as it was “going dark” apparently !

Having said that, we have had great days at some clubs doing our own thing, so it’s not all negative. In fact one of the more local clubs here (NW England) is almost too friendly & sociable if that’s possible.

It is tempting to say naturism doesn’t thrive in the UK because of the weather, but it’s not that simple. As I said, there is far more to it than sunbathing on a beach, including a lot you can do indoors.

Bigger issues are staid attitudes to all nudity in the UK; the 1960s/70s mindset of clubs; the assumption that nudity = sex, and naturists must be swingers; the Carry On/saucy postcard legacy suggesting it’s all a bit silly and pointless; the reluctance of many partners (usually female) to join in, and British Naturism and clubs’ failure to address this.

Give it a go. Our experience of true naturists is they are nearly always nice people, have above average intelligence, have a positive outlook on life, and - how do I put this? - we have never come across any riff-raff at naturist resorts.

Re naturism as a secret hobby: we have only ever told one non-naturist that we are naturist - mainly because we would find the inevitable nudge-nudge, wink-wink stuff so tiresome.

Yep. We’ve experienced that, too. It’s utter madness.

As for the single men: clubs are terrified a pervert will get in, so assume a single man is guilty instead of innocent. This can even extend to newly widowed men who weren’t perverts before they lost their wife, but are now suddenly a massive risk.

Yet I have seen no evidence that there are any more perverts in naturism than in society in general; if anything, there are fewer, and they are much easier to spot. And what’s dodgier than joining a naturist club and keeping your clothes on (see above)?

I think a great idea @MrGoodGuy would be to try a naturist swim.

Very difficult to explain until you’ve been to one, non-naturists would find it strange as they are more a social event than an exercise class. Maybe a few people will do lengths for a while, but the majority just stand around in the water chatting. You can use the sauna or steam room naked too of course.

There are currently three in the Manchester area, two being monthly and one (male only) is weekly. Many others around the country with great attendance.

I have never seen any real misbehaviour at any swim, creepy behaviour or staring stands out a mile and those people are weeded out quickly indeed.

When in Naturist situations, people will generally look others in the eye and (should) never look up & down another person. We once went on a Naturist walk with about 40 people in S. Yorks and I never realised until she mentioned it, that the lady I was chatting to had undergone a mastectomy. So your partner will not feel watched.

We’ve had a taste of that kind of behaviour from single guys at swingers’ venues, but have only seen one incident at a naturist (non-swinging) venue, and that was dealt with before we realised what he had been up to. The single men we have met in naturist clubs have been absolutely no problem.
