Choosing the ideal spot for your vacation can be challenging. It often leads to some disagreements, especially since some of us, after a taxing year, prefer to relax and unwind, while others seek excitement or crave fresh experiences. Whether you’re aiming to lounge under the sun or dive into more energetic activities, this list features resorts that satisfy both preferences—with a dash of spice.
The 10 resorts below go beyond just the usual room service and cable TV. Keep reading to find a destination that could be your next escape—unless you’ve already visited these fiery locales. No judgment here, but just remember, some secrets are best kept to yourself…
10. Puerto Morelos, Mexico
Puerto Morelos is a charming destination. A perfect spot to stroll around and brush up on your Spanish. It’s also a great place to sink into the sand and catch up on all that reading you’ve been putting off. Or, you know, just skip the reading and enjoy the moment.
Just a short stroll from the town is the Desire Riviera Maya Pearl Resort. This luxurious retreat is designed for couples looking to add a little extra heat to their relationship. With all the upscale amenities you’d expect from a high-end resort, the focus here is certainly on passion. Operating under the motto ‘spreading sensuality year-round,’ Desire hosts events like the lively ‘pumping pool parties’ and offers a fitness center equipped for cardio sessions. These workouts could very well serve as a vital precautionary measure.
Desire Riviera Maya Pearl is unquestionably a place to indulge in self-care.
9. Vera, Spain
The town of Vera, nestled in Almeria, is located around six miles inland, but its property stretches all the way to the Mediterranean coastline. Vera Playa offers all the classic Spanish beach vibes—with numerous bars and restaurants dotting the beautiful beach. The northern section of the beach is specifically dedicated to naturists.
Local authorities have long been eager to attract naturist visitors to Vera. In 2013, a group of enthusiasts organized the world’s largest-ever simultaneous skinny dip, with 729 naturists taking the plunge into the sea. It's important to note that this resort caters to naturists, with no focus on the sexual—just wholesome, carefree fun without clothes.
8. New Smyrna Beach, Florida
Surfers are likely familiar with New Smyrna Beach, which consistently ranks as one of the top surfing destinations worldwide. Despite its nickname, "The Shark Bite Capital of the World," it doesn't seem to deter surfers. In addition to great waves, there’s plenty to enjoy in New Smyrna, including the nearby Playalinda Beach. The Spanish words "playa" and "linda" mean beach and beautiful, respectively, giving you a hint of its charm.
Playalinda Beach, located just north of New Smyrna, features a section dedicated to naturists, with one part favored by families and couples and another, further north, popular among gay men. Situated within the Canaveral National Seashore and near the Kennedy Space Center, Playalinda is an unspoiled beach with few amenities.
For those interested in a truly unique experience, Playalinda Beach is the perfect spot to witness a rocket launch while embracing nature in the nude.
7. Hollywood, Florida
Though overshadowed by its larger neighbors, Fort Lauderdale and Miami, Hollywood offers its own unique attractions. Among the highlights is its stunning beach, complete with a scenic, lengthy boardwalk.
For accommodations in Hollywood, consider the Rooftop Resort. If Eros were to choose a hotel, this would be his pick. The resort’s motto says it all: “Dance Naked! – Party Naked! – Swim Naked!”
At the Rooftop Resort, it’s entirely up to you whether to wear clothes during your stay. The hotel offers fantastic ocean views, provided you take the time to enjoy them.
6. Negril, Jamaica
Negril may have a small population, but it stretches across a vast area on Jamaica’s western tip. The locals let the island’s natural beauty shine through—its gorgeous beaches, year-round warm weather, and abundant watersports attract plenty of tourists without the need for excessive promotion.
Hedonism II is a resort that refuses to be subtle. Unlike places that keep a low profile, this one makes a bold statement. It's not suited for the shy, as it's all about indulgence, especially of the sexual variety.
At Hedonism II, clothing is entirely optional within the resort’s boundaries. There’s the Kama Sutra Palace, where you can attend workshops and classes, and the Romping Shop Playroom, a space designed for couples, single women, and vetted single men.
Hedonism II presents an interesting contradiction. Though it was originally developed by the Jamaican government (before being sold to private owners), public nudity is technically illegal in Jamaica. One might guess the authorities haven’t seen the resort’s marketing materials.
5. Lochailort, Scotland
Nestled in the breathtaking Scottish Highlands, the village of Lochailort offers a tranquil retreat amidst stunning natural beauty. It’s the perfect place to unwind and explore the surrounding hills. While the weather in this region can be unpredictable, its dramatic landscapes are always awe-inspiring.
While Lochailort offers few amenities, it is home to the West Highland Retreat Naturist Resort. This unique destination hosts activities like nude hiking, fishing, boat trips, and much more. It’s a family-friendly resort catering to those adventurous enough to embrace the freedom of being naked in Scotland.
However, the resort didn’t originally begin as a naturist retreat. It was first established by a children’s charity that transformed the property into a refuge for families with children who had various needs, many of whom had a short life expectancy. The resort provided much-needed respite for these families, helping them cope with the challenges of raising their children.
There were times during the year when the resort was quiet, and the owners, Jan and John, sought a way to make better use of the space. In 2013, a representative from British Naturism reached out, asking if they could stay. Jan and John continue to operate the resort primarily for families with severely disadvantaged children. The naturist facility operates during available dates, with profits supporting the charity. So, if naturism appeals to you, you can indulge while also supporting a good cause.
4. Salinas, California
I can only imagine what Salinas’ most famous son, John Steinbeck, would think of the Stay and Play bed and breakfast in his hometown. If he were seeking a private space to explore his fantasies and fetishes, he certainly had one right in his own backyard.
Marketing itself as "Your Dungeon Away From Home," Stay and Play caters to those who enjoy BDSM, specifically bondage and dominance. The activities occur in a dedicated building, though the owners remain close by to monitor the situation and provide assistance. For those new to BDSM, the owners offer guidance and support to ensure a positive experience.
Due to its popularity, it’s highly recommended to reserve your spot well in advance.
If you're up for it, there are numerous fantastic restaurants and attractions in the vicinity. However, it’s probably wise to change clothes before heading out to explore.
3. Dodgeville, Wisconsin
Thus far, we've focused on resorts designed for those with bold, adventurous tastes. While that’s all exciting, sometimes we just want to enjoy private moments in the comfort of our own rooms. This is where the Don Q Inn comes into play.
While you won’t stumble upon naked pool parties or anything like that, you can still indulge in some wild fantasies across various themed rooms. Just keep in mind that it’s BROK! Be sure to bring your own kink and pack your toys, leaving all inhibitions behind.
Though the inn may not boast the luxury of some other spots on this list, it does offer an intriguing mix of spaces. Think Roman-inspired dens of debauchery, a Geisha-themed room, and a 'Mid-Evil' room featuring shackles on the bed. Ever wondered what it would be like to sleep in a hot air balloon or live out an Arabian night? With rooms designed like prehistoric caves or even a moon landing capsule, there’s something for every couple to explore.
Oh, and there’s even a Boeing C-97 on the grounds. While it’s not available for overnight stays (so no fulfilling that mile-high fantasy), it’s open for tours.
2. Cottbus, Germany
Cottbus, a quaint city in Brandenburg, Germany, might not be a top pick on most travelers' bucket lists. However, nearby lies a destination that attracts couples from all over the world.
The Schloss Milkersdorf, a refurbished castle nestled in the midst of fog-covered, mysterious woods, opens its doors every Friday and Saturday evening, inviting guests into an erotic wonderland. Here, anything is possible—you and your partner set your own boundaries. Themed nights, such as a Roman orgy or erotic castle event, create a seductive atmosphere, encouraging even the most reserved to partake in the fun.
Schloss Milkersdorf limits its guest capacity, so booking in advance is highly recommended. It's not a hotel; it's a private club. Since overnight stays are not allowed, the management has made arrangements with nearby hotels.
To protect the anonymity of its visitors, mobile devices and cameras are prohibited. Upon arrival, these must be checked in at the cloakroom… along with any hesitations or reservations.
1. Mount Poconos, Pennsylvania
Mount Poconos, a charming small town, is beautifully located and a paradise for nature enthusiasts. It's perfect for those who enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and camping. However, for couples seeking more intimate indoor pursuits, it is also home to the romantic Paradise Stream Resort.
This expansive resort features 143 suites, two restaurants, two bars, and a nightclub. The owners market it as a 'honeymoon hotspot,' where guests are said to be 'entering the land of love.'
With heart-shaped tubs, rooms adorned for romance, and a full entertainment lineup, this resort keeps even the most seasoned lovers engaged and entertained.
This is undoubtedly a perfect destination for newlyweds or anyone looking to reignite the spark in their relationship.
There are two additional resorts in the area, all part of the same company.
