Clothing-Optional Resorts Etiquette Tips 

Clothing-optional resorts can be thrilling (and curiosity-piquing). For first-time guests, it’s a good idea to have an understanding of what to expect. Here are some essential tips to keep in mind. 

Familiarize yourselves with resort rules

Not all naturist resorts are the same, each with its own set of guidelines. It’s important to know if there are designated areas where nudity is allowed and where it’s not. Identify if the resort allows for full nakedness or if guests are only permitted to go topless. 

Carry a towel and a cover-up

From a practical point of view, lounging by the beach or more resort areas can be difficult without a towel. This handy piece of fabric will help you maintain a sense of cleanliness and hygiene when you just want to hang out. Carry a cover-up so that you can easily comply when in areas where complete nudity isn’t allowed.

Avoid staring 

The idea of fully embracing your freedom and expressing yourself without clothing restrictions is enticing. However, in this setting, you must obey the golden rule of “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” In this case, that means it’s essential to treat others with respect and dignity. 

In clothing-optional resorts, always avoid prolonged stares. That helps to ensure a comfortable, relaxed, and safe atmosphere for everyone who is just looking for a good time.
