Top 10 Clothing Optional Resorts in the Caribbean

by GO GlobeHopper

Clothing Optional vacation destinations are nothing new, especially since the naturalist lifestyle is as old as mankind. So it makes sense that some resorts cater to this type of clientele—some offer a relaxing yet discreet atmosphere while others push the limits as long as what happens on the property is entirely consensual. What was once called swinger’s vacations has been replaced with the phrase ‘Libertine tourism,’ but beware that a clothing-optional resort and a libertine destination are NOT the same. One embraces nudity and a natural lifestyle while the other promotes sexual freedom, so they are very different.  However, for obvious reasons, the two concepts overlap.  Here are the best clothing-optional and libertine resorts in the Caribbean.

 

The Best Clothing-Optional Resorts Include:

Couples Tower Isle – Jamaica

Located on a private island, Couples Tower Isle offers newly renovated guest rooms and villas, complete with plush king-size beds that open onto private balconies and patios furnished with wide cushion seating and an outdoor table. There are six dining options ranging from casual to upscale, plus the resort features four pools, a health & wellness spa, tennis, golf, movie nights, salsa dance classes, and sing-alongs.

For guests wishing to shed their clothes, boats offer transportation to the resort’s very small and private island that contains a ‘NO CLOTHING’ beach. The word ‘optional’ does not exist here so guests are expected to be fully nude.

 

Couples Negril – Jamaica

This is the second of four Couples resorts on the island of Jamaica and allows for a clothing ‘optional’ scenario.  Located on 18 acres on the West Coast, this oceanfront oasis has 234 rooms and suites, 5 restaurants and 5 bars, 2 pools and 4 Jacuzzis, a spa, plus sports and fitness facilities,

Additionally, there are guest get-togethers for mixing and mingling, such as beach bonfires, dance classes, and tennis tournaments. Set on a secluded stretch of soft, sunbleached sand, the resort offers an Au Naturel Beach and Jacuzzi for the clothing operation experience.

 

Grand Lido Negril – Jamaica

The Grand Lido offers an upscale and natural all-inclusive vacation for guests over the age of 21. Private and fully butlered this is an all-suite boutique hotel with fantastic views from every aspect of the property.  The resort is small in size but big on service and luxury, featuring 26 superior ocean-facing suites in an isolated enclave.

Welcoming singles as well as couples that desire a liberating experience, Grand Lido embraces the naturalist lifestyle and offers a completely au naturel atmosphere, as well as access to two all-inclusive resorts — Royalton Negril and adults-only Hideaway at Royalton Negril.

 

Hidden Beach Resort – Riviera Maya

Hidden Beach is designed for guests that dare to experience the ultimate freedom of nudity and take comfort in the fact that the resort prides itself on maintaining naturist etiquette.

This a small boutique resort with just 42 guest rooms but it offers a variety of room and suite styles, all of which are designed with comfort and luxury in mind and oceanfront views. Activities include Blackjack tournaments, cocktail classes, water volleyball, AquaFit, and Foam Parties in the pool. Hidden Beach forbids explicit sexual behavior but allows guests to be fully nude for all meals and activities.

 

The Natural – Curacao

For guests aged 14 and up, The Natural provides the ultimate in relaxation with meditation and massage and a clothing-optional atmosphere.  This family-friendly destination embraces the naturalist lifestyle and offers several modest accommodation options — from standard rooms to studios, apartments, and bungalows, and even a Safari Tent for a glamping experience.

The Natural is perfect for nature lovers and naturalists, with a clothing-optional atmosphere throughout the entire property.

 

Temptation Cancun Resort and Spa – Riviera Maya

This adults-only, rainbow-colored property (as pictured in the lead photo) features 430 rooms & suites, 109 of which are located in The Tower by Temptation.  Accommodations are bright and modern, and designed for the free-spirited traveler.  The all-inclusive program offers seven restaurants representing 15 culinary styles, plus a late-night snack bar, gourmet café, and six bars and lounges. Temptation Resort features semi-nude sunbathing, with female guests given a topless-optional choice at the Sexy Pool, the Quiet Pool, the beach, Sky 3.5, the Bash Jacuzzi, and at designated events.  The adult concept of the resort is furthered by exotic dancers in the nightclub and themed events such as lingerie casino night. However, this is not a libertine destination, as the resort does not promote or condone sexual activity in common areas.

 

Temptation Miches Resort – Dominican Republic

Temptation Miches is very much like its sister property, Temptation Cancun Resort.  Guests will be welcomed with a sexy vibe throughout the property, which includes 384 bright and modern rooms and suites.  Culinary experiences include six restaurants, a coffee shop, and a late-night snack bar.  Plus, there is a 24-hour beverage service.

For daytime fun, guests will enjoy pool parties at the Sexy Pool, which is one of the designated topless-optional areas of the resort. Nighttime adult entertainment includes shows and sexy signature theme nights. This is not a libertine destination, the resort will not promote or condone sexual activity in common areas.

 

The Best Libertine Resorts Include:

Hedonism ll – Jamaica

Moving onto resorts that cater more to sexual freedom and expression, perhaps the oldest and most well-known in the Caribbean is Hedonism II.  No doubt, this is the world’s most iconic adult playground where guests turn fantasy into reality. Hedonism II features 280 modern rooms and suites with private terraces and hot tubs as well as views of the ocean or lush jungle.  Accommodations include a flat-screen TV, rain shower, coffee maker, refrigerators, hairdryer, and a safety deposit box.

Amenities include tennis, volleyball, several watersports, and the Romping Shop, which takes the concept of an adult playroom and kicks it up a notch… or ten. The resort encourages guests to be as mild or as wild as they wish with events such as toga parties and Kama Sutra classes to enhance the mood. They also cater to nude weddings and sell day passes to non-guests wishing to participate in the resort’s activities.

 

Desire Resort Riviera Maya

This property features a village-style setting with 114 guest rooms and suites overlooking lush gardens or the Caribbean Sea.  Accommodations are spacious and recently have been renovated with designs that blend sensuality with comfort.

Desire Resort Riviera Maya is NOT a hotel that caters to naturist families considering the resort bills itself as an ‘erotic adult destination’ where couples interested in exploring alternative lifestyles can frolic in a 30-person jacuzzi or a Play Room located just behind the resort’s nightclub bar. This beachfront resort is all-inclusive and appeals to liberated upscale vacationers with a wild side and couples looking to explore their sexuality.

 

Desire Riviera Maya Pearl Resort

Located in Puerto Morelos, this sister property to Desire Riviera Maya offers an immersive sexual atmosphere and allows guests to leave their inhibitions at the door.  This upscale resort features 88 villa-style rooms, suites, and lofts, as well as several premier dining options, bars and lounges, a fitness center, a first-rate spa, and a hair salon.

Day and night, sexual seduction is first and foremost in this clothing-optional environment.  Whether it’s at pool parties, in the Jacuzzi Lounge, at couples workshops, or during erotic theme nights, Desire Riviera Maya Pearl takes pride in unleashing fantasies.  And just like Desire Riviera Maya, Pearl also features a Play Room — an erotic playground for like-minded couples and adventurers.
