As people of a certain age (50s) our only previous foray into the world of Naturism had been a day trip to a beach in the south of France the year before. Having shrugged off the body shyness we fell in love with the freedom of warm weather without clothing, even for just a few hours. We knew we wanted to try something more and started looking for a five night trip to somewhere in Spain. If we were going to be naked for five days it had better be somewhere nice and hot!
We explored many sites available on the internet but Lavinia piqued our interest far more than others. The personal feel of their website echoes how hosts Ana and Wim run their small resort, look after you, feed you and are there for you, how and when you need. You are family when you stay with them, and you feel that from the moment you arrive at the property.
The property itself affords guests the choice between some privacy or engaging more with other guests depending on which pool you use (there are two), with the ability to use terraces and sun lounging areas at the villa you stay in, should you not want to sit by the pools. Having a villa to stay in, rather than a room, gives all guests the wonderful feeling of space and being “at home”, rather than confined to an en-suite hotel room like many other resorts. The villa we chose was “Melodia” and was exceptionally clean and spacious, and we loved being right beside a quiet pool and hot tub, which we had to ourselves for our entire stay, despite it being the height of summer with the resort full of guests.
We had a full size kitchen, bathroom, lovely big double bedroom and large lounge area with TV, along with AC in the bedroom and lounge. There is also a roof terrace and a patio terrace with sunloungers and dining table and chairs, everything you will need. Ana and Wim also offer an early check in and departure. Again, it’s the small touches that make you feel welcome, with no hint of a profit motive, that makes Lavinia so special.
Breakfast is delivered to your villa by Ana or Wim at your choice of time - Ana’s home baked breads, plus jams, yogurts and fresh produce are perfect to start the day out on your warm terrace. A shopping list of groceries can be delivered to your villa when you arrive for you to have your own snacks, drinks and make your own lunches if you require, all done through the booking process. Ana prides herself on cooking up a feast for all guests and the half board option will leave you well fed with an excellent communal three course dinner each night. All dietary needs are taken into consideration and the menus are designed with care and cooked with love. You can pre-order lunch as well if you can fit in even more food! We thoroughly enjoyed the dinners chatting with other guests and relaxing. Clothing is optional for the dinners with some choosing to wear a small wrap or towel around their waist, while others were nude.
A bar area is open all day and evening for cold alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, as well as tea and coffee, although you can also bring your own and keep them in your own kitchen. Our days were spent lounging by the pool, listening to the birds and crickets around the stunning gardens, with ice creams delivered by Wim in the afternoons to keep us cool, and with balmy evenings spent on the terrace eating fabulous food and watching the stars in the clear sky until late into the night. For those wanting to explore the local area you can hike around the property, and indeed Wim did manage to get Tom out of bed at 5am one morning to watch the sunrise over the mountains, which he insisted was worth the early wake up!
Our final night was spent enjoying a bespoke 50th birthday dinner. On one of the two non- communal dining evenings Ana and Wim can accommodate such requests and we were treated to a truly exceptional dining experience up on the roof terrace, watching the sunset and eating dinner under the stars in our own little world. Truly memorable.
To put Lavinia in perspective, we have since visited another small Naturist resort in Spain which competes with Lavinia in size and concept, and, whilst nice in many ways, it did not meet the high standards of Lavinia, which is without doubt what we consider to be perfection for our Naturist holiday destination. We are heading back this year and cannot wait. Book your stay at Lavinia - you will not be disappointed!

And the number is growing as hosts are seeing the not only the value of the ‘buff pound’ but also acknowledging that the appetite for swimming nude is growing.
There are plenty of such events in the planning and we’ll bring you news of them as soon as we can. If they are well supported, especially by the Naturist community, there is a good chance they will become regular events - and maybe even more venues will take note. If you know of venues hosting nude swims, please let us know!
Here's two newly announced lake swimming events. Please note that neither of the swims are British Naturism events. By bringing them to your attention we are not endorsing them just raising awareness of them. Swimmers must take their own precautions and swim at their own risk.
April 12 - Teddy Bares Picnic, Gloucester
Monthly swim: June - September, Active Waters Wild Swimming, Huntingdon

You can head to the covered swimming pool, new sauna and hot tub, or chill out on the high deck of the lovely pavilion. To make your visit even easier, there’s a shared kitchen, BBQ area and utility room with washing facilities. Our volunteer wardens are onsite to assist you.
For entertainment, there are games, woodland walks, sunbathing lawns, and socialising around the campfire at night. We also offer themed weekends and events.
British Naturism: Sunfolk is a five-acre woodland site owned and operated by British Naturism. It’s five minutes from where the M1 and M25 join, just outside of St Albans. It’s perfect for seasoned Naturists and those looking to explore a clothes-free world for the first time. Everyone is welcome!
Ready to book? We’re ready to welcome you!
Hello to all British Naturists! We are Central Sun Club, and we are Scotland’s newest Naturist club. We are based in central Scotland, between Edinburgh and Glasgow in a stunning 14-acre woodland site.
Central Sun Club was founded by a group of Naturists from Scotland who felt our country did not have enough dedicated spaces to practice Naturism, allowing people to enjoy this fantastic lifestyle. Over the past two years, a small group of dedicated people have worked tirelessly to take this idea and turn it into a reality.
We have our own site, named Lochanwood which sits right in the heart of Scotland, easily accessible from most of Scotland’s major cities. We have woodland areas, trails, open spaces and, at the heart of the site - a stunning lochan, hence the name. This site was chosen from a shortlist of around five locations, owing to its accessibility, privacy, the level of work required and suitability for use by Naturists.
Our club has been created on the values of equality, fairness and sustainability, and aims to promote Naturism and the benefits that this lifestyle can have on both physical and mental wellbeing. We proudly boast a gender mix on our committee and strive to ensure that we will always remain member led, forward thinking and diverse, to reflect the community that we hope will join us.
The co-chairs of the club, Andrew and Marc are based in Glasgow and are both keen BN members, enjoying various events and attending their local swim in Glasgow whenever able. Our other committee members Andy and Sammi are also keen Naturists and between us all, we have many years of attending Naturist venues and events that we have used to tailor our approach to creating this club. As a committee, we are aware that events such as the Sunday Swim in Glasgow sell out nearly every week and that there is a growing interest in clothes-free recreation in the UK. It’s the perfect time to launch the club.
Over the past two years, we have completed a lot of work to get to where we are today. The journey has involved visiting potential locations, negotiating lease agreements, battling red tape from various institutions, fundraising, visiting other clubs, and engaging with the Naturist community—and has required a lot of enthusiasm, determination and positive attitudes! We are now at a point where we are preparing our site for visitors and are continuing work that was started last year to get the site ready to host visitors from this Spring. Our vision continues to evolve over time and we have gone from the aim of a large, commercial scale operation to settling on an eco-friendly, sustainable woodland retreat, that will allow members the chance to escape the hustle and bustle of urban life and to reconnect with nature.
The possibilities for our site are endless, but for now we are focusing on a rustic, back-to-basics woodland feel to the site with toilet facilities, shelter, camping grounds and woodland trails. We envisage that members will spend their days strolling through the woodland, soaking up the sun, connecting with friends and finding the time to be at one with nature. As membership grows and the site generates more visitors and becomes more financially secure, we will continue to invest in the site and facilities to improve the visitor experience and work to ensure that the club becomes a key hub for Naturism in Scotland.
Currently, we are hosting work parties on a regular basis to allow individuals to become involved in the club and help us make progress towards being officially ready for visitors. This includes finishing ground works, constructing boardwalks, constructing shelters, pruning trees, mapping wildlife and so much more. We are always on the lookout for new volunteers, so if you would like to be involved, you can sign up here: https://forms.office.com/r/qSRAbQNXC0
We are also continuing our fundraising efforts, as we have learned very quickly that nothing comes cheaply when trying to create a site like this from scratch. We are now offering volunteer rewards, such as pens, the chance to sponsor a tree and business advertising on site, depending on the donation amount. We really do appreciate every penny donated and really wish for this club to succeed, so if you are able to donate to us, we would be eternally grateful. Our donation page is here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/create-a-Naturist-club-in-central-scotland
On behalf of the whole committee and everyone who has been involved in the club so far, we really do want to say thank you for all the support so far. The support from BN, from individuals in the UK and from Naturists across the globe has been phenomenal and has only encouraged us to keep going to make this dream a reality.

A LEICESTERSHIRE Naturist swimming club is giving local women a safe space to take the plunge and enjoy the freedom of naked swimming.
Desford Swim, a long-running Naturist group based in the village of the same name, is running the free, women-only session as a way to encourage more women to give it go.
Recent research has linked social Naturism to improved body acceptance, body positivity and confidence, by experiencing the huge variety of perfectly normal body types, rather than the unachievable perfection often promoted through media images.
The event, which is free for any women to attend, also ties in with International Women’s Day which takes place the same weekend, and its focus on empowering women, gender equality and women’s rights.
The swim takes place on Sunday, March 9, from 2.30pm to 3.15pm, and is run by women from Desford Swim, with a female lifeguard on duty. Participants are also welcome to stay on for the regular mixed-gender Naturist swimming session which follows immediately afterwards, from 3.30pm to 5pm.
Swimmers have access to a warm, clear, 25-metre swimming pool, as well as a badminton court, table tennis, spacious changing facilities and showers.
Desford Swim club member Carol said:
“Swimming without clothes is a wonderfully free feeling, especially after a long winter of being wrapped up indoors in warm clothing.
But there’s also an important message about giving women a safe space to feel comfortable in their own skin, away from judgement or the unrealistic expectations of the kind of female body ideas we are so often exposed to.
Research in 2020 by Dr Keon West, of Goldsmith’s College, London, found that even among non-naturists, participation in a nudity-based activity showed improvements in their body image, self-esteem and overall life satisfaction.
We’re hoping to attract as many women as possible, from local swimming, sports and other organisations, as well as women who just want to try something new.
For some it might just be a bit of fun and something to tick off a bucket list; for others it could be the start of a better relationship with their bodies. Either way, everyone is very welcome.
Just bring your photo ID, a towel and a positive attitude.”
Women wanting to take part need to book a place in advance on Desford Swim’s website, at www.desfordswim.co.uk
It takes place Saturday week, on the 8th March and tickets are still available. Book now!
