The ‘Nakation’—aka clothing-optional tourism—has become a very real, and increasingly popular, mode of adventure travel. From nude resorts to birthday suit hikes to clothing-free charter cruises, baring all has become the vacation choice du jour. Far from a cheeky skinny-dip thrill on the beaches of, say, Biarritz or the like, more and more of us seem to be building our entire itineraries around getting our kit off.
According to Kolassa, ‘nakation’ (a term coined by the AANR itself back in 2008) is one of the fastest-growing segments of the travel industry. And it’s millennials, she says—“open to experiencing the joy of skinny dipping, nude hiking, canoeing and more”—who are the ones behind it.
All-nude travel for the masses? Behind the rise of the ‘nakation’
I’ll tell anyone who’ll listen about our experience. I think my friends are tired by now. I keep telling them they should try a nude beach and a couple of them are planning honeymoons so I am definitely pushing Couples Sans Souci. I even told my parents they should try it out. I’ll definitely be looking into beaches and areas to enjoy being nude in the future and especially in the U.S. I’m wondering if there are any resorts where we wouldn’t need to travel outside the U.S. to enjoy them. I really wanted to give an honest review of our experience at Couples.
