Formentera Beach Report. Note: Formentera is a Balearic island, 2000 miles off Fuerteventura, Canarian Isles. Fuerteventura, Spain. April 2000 My son and I were in Corralajo in April 2000 and I will be there again in December with my wife. We booked accommodation from one of the two brochures specialising in nudist accommodation, Dune Leisure. Another company (Canarian Dreams) targets its marketing of some of the same properties on windsurfers as well as nudists and has its brochure on the internet. Sunseekers also books several properties common to the other companies. The 5 apartments in the complex were not nudist, but in the second week we were there most of the tourists were...

Fuerteventura Trip Report. Spring 1999. The main industry in Fuerteventura is tourism. The main tourists are Germans. The German attitude to nudity is reflected over the whole island. There are no naturist resorts as such but..... The Beaches. In a nut shell.... The beaches of Fuerteventura are ALL okay for naturist recreation with the possible exception of the main hotel beaches. There are three main areas to be aware of... (click link to read the rest of the report.) Thanks Steve for the report!

Fuerteventura Trip Report. 1999. These photos were taken last August on the (gloriously warm) island of Fuerteventura. Annette (my partner) and myself spent 7 nights there and while there are no recognised naturist facilities on the island, we discovered, much to our pleasure, that almost all the beaches are clothes optional. However, while we advise discretion in areas with a high concentration of families with small children, we didn't experience any problems at all and would recommend the island to anybody looking for a quiet "get-away-from-it-all" holiday....

Fuerteventura Trip Report. October 1998. Starting from Corralejo in the North of the island going clockwise, there are extensive sand dunes for about five miles with two large hotel complexes in the centre. Either side, volcanic rock circular windbreaks have been built by sunbathers to shelter from the winds that predominate this stretch of the coast. Nudity is in the majority on the full length of this part of the coast with the possible exception of the hotel beaches (we didn't visit them)... (click link to read the rest of the report.)

Fuerteventura. 1998. This trip report is a conversation between several people and was originally posted on another message board. "Superb beaches....the biggest is on the east side just south of Corralejo (which is at the northernmost tip). Nudity is extremely relaxed on most beaches however (except around Caleta de Fustes) which is where a lot of tour operators go to." ... (click link to read the rest of the report.)

Lanzarote Trip Report. November 1998. In late November we returned from yet another holiday to Lanzarote, the weather for the week was an acceptable 75 degrees. We stayed at Playa Blanca which is in the southeast of the island very close to the Papagyo peninsula where some of the best beaches can be found.... (click link to read the rest of the report.)

Hotel Dania and Hotel Majec Report in Tenerife. December 2000. We went to Tenerife before Christmas, to the Hotel Dania in Puerto de la Cruz. The sister hotel, Hotel Majec, just over the road and under the same management, had a nudist sun terrace on the roof. There was a pool, bar and all other facilties, with no hassle at all. I would recommend the hotels to anyone who wants an all over tan with 4 star hotel accommodation. Thanks Colin and Susan for the report!

Tenerife Report.. Report on El Medano beach and Los Christianos beach, near Playa de las Americas in Tenerife - 1998. Thanks to IndaNude for the report, which was originally posted on the Message Board.

Escola de Arte de Ferragudo - Naturist Painting & Holistic Holidays. September 2003. Clothing and Paintbrushes Optional in Portugal. What does a naturist artist wear at the Airport? We were being met by our host David, who, with his wife Frances and their children, run Escola de Arte de Ferragudo, our clothing optional holiday destination. It had been a long and tiresome flight and after a disgustingly early start, leaving a non-existent spring day in a miserable wet and windy northern European airport, we couldn't wait to get out in the warm sun, preferably around a swimming pool with a glass of chilled wine... click preceding link to read the rest of the report.)

Benalnatura, Costa del Sol. September 2004. My wife and I have just come back from Benalnatura, Costa del Sol, Spain as (an almost) first time naturist couple in our early 30s. We first visited on a Saturday afternoon and there were approx. 200 people on the small, beautifully kept cove. The crowd was a mix of couples, single men and women and one or two families. Leading down some steep steps from the nearby parking, you walk immediately into the beach bar area where you can grab a drink and order some sandwiches/burgers etc and then sit under the shade watching the tide come in. The beach itself is sandy with small stones leading into the sea, where it is quite shallow for about 5m out. At the bar area are showers and washrooms. The showers are for members of benalnatura (you can join for 12 Euro), but all the other facilities are available to non-members. The food and drink is good value for money, with 1 large beer, a soft drink, a sandwich and a burger for around 9 euro. We visited again on a Monday morning and this time the crowd was smaller, but the bar was open (around 12 noon) and it soon filled up but not as busy as saturday naturally. To get there, travelling from Fuengirola on the N-340 towards malaga, take the Nueva Torrequebrada exit (which is just after the hotel Malibu on your right). As you take the exit, you will see signs for a playa de nudista straight ahead. Continue down the exit for about 300 meters to a roundabout and go straight through and up the other side where you will see cars parked either side of the road with some large apartments on your right. Park anywhere here and you will see a very large sign for the Benalnatura nudist beach. Visit their (outdated) website at http://www.arrakis.es/~benalnat/. The car park you see in the photos is now a series of Apartments and you park in front of the apts, but the beach is the same! We don't have much to compare it with, but we thought this beach was fantastic and it had a really nice atmosphere and we would recommend it highly. Enjoy! Thanks Ray for the report!

Costa Brava Report. September, 1998. Arriving at Barcelona we traveled north along the sea towards France. Following directions from Luis Cortés we were able to find a few of his recommended beaches. One area is the Cap Ras peninsula near the french border, a uninhabited area wuth a number of beaches and coves, also a designated nude area.... (click link to see the rest of the report).

Costa del Sol Report. July 2001. Just back from one of the best holidays in years. After a lot of confusion and wrong information given by locals, I found Cabo Peno and Playa Nudista (Torre Quebrada) in Costa Del Sol. Cabo Peno is used by both naturists and other sun bathers as well. The beach is wide and slopes gradually into the sea unlike most beaches which have rocks below the water level making it unsuitable to swim. This beach is near Calahonda and is about 3 bus stops (bus no. 19 from Fuengirola going towards Marbella) from the Club Algaida which can be seen from the bus. Playa Nudista is in Benalmadena and can be reached by bus (no.10 from Fuengirola going towards Malaga). The bus journey takes about 20/25 minutes. The taxi fare from Fuengirola to Playa Nudista varies between cab companys and can cost between 1500-1800 pess. each way. This beach is exclusively for nudists and the people running the restaurant/bar are very friendly and helpful. Thanks Mina for the report!

First Time at Benal Natura, Benalmadena, Cosa del Sol, Spain. Summer 2001. May I say that whilst on holiday in Spain my partner noticed a nudist beach sign and seeing as we had spoke about it a few weeks earlier in Southend, we decided to give it a go. Well it was the best thing we had done together, we both found it liberating and totally natural, we can't wait for our next holiday now. Thanks Mike for the report!

First Time in Spain Report. Summer 2002. My first time was last summer at Tusales Beach, a clothing optional beach at Alicante (Spain) where my parents have an apartment. I never had intention about going to that beach because I didn't like the idea of being nude in front of other people. Modesty was a rule at home, even with my mother or sister, and with close friends at lokers or hotels in holidays I always kept the towel wrapped around if I was getting out of the shower or wear at least my panties. But this summer, my first as married, I went to spend some days to the apartment with my husband, who knew about the existance of the beach reading touristic information and proposed going to the beach. He never had been before at a nudist beach and wanted to try it. I didn't want to go but finally accepted by his insistance but leaving him very clear I was going to wear my bikini...

Mallorca Report. After a busy and tiring year, I decided a 'late break' was needed, to see me through to Christmas - I had earned it after all! Cash was tight, so I held on to a couple of weeks before going, hoping for a bargain - not realising the dates I had booked off work was the same as most school half terms, so most places were sold out, or way above my budget!....

Palma De Mallorca Trip Report. Beach: Es Trenc. Summer, 1999. When visiting the Spanish island of Palma De Mallorca, one must go to Es Trenc. The beach has wonderful soft, white sand and along with the entire beach being topfree, there is one sections especially for nudists. To get to Es Trenc one must follow the southern road from the airport to the east. When you get to the town of El Arinal (about 30 minutes time), continue through to the second roundabout....

Playa Naturista Benalnatura, Benalmádena, Spain, Report. May 27, 2001. My wife and I just returned from a great 15-day trip to Spain's Costa del Sol where we stayed in a beachfront hotel in the Playa Bajondillo section of Torremolinos. Torremolinos (literally, windmills tower) is located 12 km from Malaga and has great beaches, restaurants, and shopping; and is also quite overrun with tourists from all over the world. While I did all the tourist things my wife wanted us to do, I still managed to visit two nearby nudist beaches twice each, and alone... (click preceding link to read the rest of the report.)

Vera Natura Report. June 2002 Travelling with Peng, I flew from Manchester direct to Almeria, where the five of us off our flight we were met by a 25 seater coach for the 70 minute journey to Vera Natura. Vera Natura is one of several developments which are springing or have sprung up in the coastal strip north of the town of Garrucha. The whole of the area to the seaward side of the main road is a designated naturist zone, and what is nice is that there are no barriers, you just turn off the road and there you are in the naturist zone. Vera Natura itself is a gated resort with four entrances controlled by magnetic key, plus the main reception area which you pass through to enter. There are 25 "bloques" (or "blokes" as we quickly christened them!) with generally 8 apartments to each. I had a ground floor one bedroom apartment the first week, and a first floor two bedroomed apartment the second week, when a friend of mine joined me for that week (though he was a day late arriving because of the general strike in Spain on the day he was due to arrive)...

Vera Playa, southern Spain, Report. September, 2000. I thought your NetNude viewers might be interested in them and in hearing about this unique naturist paradise on mainland Spain. Back in September my wife and I paid our first visit to the 4-star naturist hotel of Vera Playa, near Almeria, southern Spain. We took some pictures both on the beach and inside the hotel - outside our bedroom door and inside the bedroom itself... (click preceding link to read the rest of the report.)

Zona Nudista, Playa del Campo de Golf, Málaga, Spain, Report. May 28, 2001. As I mentioned in my last trip report on Playa Naturista Benalnatura, I visited two nudist beaches during my just completed 15-day trip to Spain's Costa del Sol. The first beach was Benalnatura in Benalmádena Costa and the second was the nude beach more recently officially established by the Málaga city government (ayuntamiento) on Playa del Campo de Golf. Playa del Campo de Golf is the western most beach within the city limits of Málaga and is adjacent to the Parador del Golf (a highly rated golf course which also provides lodging for golfers). According to a large sign placed by the ayuntamiento at the western end of the beach, the beach will be maintained in a semi-primitive state by the prohibition of urbanization in order to preserve the existing ecology...
