If sunbathing in the ol’ birthday suit is your cup of tea, then you’ll be pleased to know that there’s an Airbnb-like site for you, uhm… “conventional” travelers.
Launched in 2018 and now celebrating its seventh year helping enthusiasts vacation au naturel, Naturist BnB provides access to destinations with rooms friendly to the naturist lifestyle in places like Tulum and Cancun, across Mexico, and even around the world.
The site was created by Finnish couple Petri and Minna Karjalainen, who spotted an underserved niche that received a noticeable bump from movies such as 50 Shades of Grey which have made going in the buff fashionable.
Riviera Maya Clothing Optional Options
For nude hiking, a Tulum option is The Naturalist Jungle. This 12.5-acre gated retreat where a tent goes for about US$50 a night and promises a sound sleep set against a backdrop of lush jungle, the sound of wild parrots and toucans, and, of course, the company of likeminded souls.
As for any hanky-panky here, well, you may want to take a cold shower. Signs on the camp site discourage sexual activity, asserting that nudism is more about connecting with nature rather than indulging in such proclivities.
Hanky-Panky Friendly Resorts
On the other hand, Cancun’s Temptation Resort is known as a “Playground for Grown-Ups” and is famous for its Sexy Pool. But before you get too excited, that site doesn’t show up in a search on Naturist BnB.
Neither does Desire Riviera Maya Resort in Puerto Morelos, which also takes a more sexed-up approach. Promising couples the kind of erotic world they might, apparently, be dreaming of, the resort offers high-end amenities as well as private beaches and facilities for guests who prefer to go sans clothing.
In addition to Riviera Maya clothing optional vacation rentals that are ideal for in-the-buff travelers, the region has a variety of resort options such as nude beaches, clothing-optional areas, and topless bathing.
