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 may choose to wear or not wear clothing in designated areas, 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, such as pools and beaches, while others permit it 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.

Tips for First-Time Visitors

If this is your first time at a clothing-optional resort, definitely check out this section. Here, I’ll share some tips and a few things to be aware of when staying at these types of resorts for the first time.

Let’s check it out:

• 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
• Make sure you know your resort’s policies, as not all clothing-optional resorts are the same (some have specific areas designated for nudity while others are entirely clothing-optional, meaning you can be nude in all spaces, at all times)
• Double-check on other rules like restrictions on public displays of affection and taking pictures/videos (most of these resorts have a strict no public-sex policy)
• Always keep a towel with you so you can use it when sitting on loungers and chairs
• 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
• It’s a good idea to not take any pics or videos while there, in order to respect other people’s privacy (sometimes the resorts have a professional photographer on staff so you can check that too if you really want those vacation pics)
• Pick the right resort for you; some places may cater more to couples, singles, or LGBTQ+ members
• While these resorts are clothing-optional, public nudity is generally illegal in Mexico; topless sunbathing is sometimes allowed in certain tourist areas, but it can still be risky
