Everyone should try a nude vacation says Norma


Norma has been working here at The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa in sunny Palm Springs, California for 3 weeks now. She loves it.

Norma was NOT a nudist before she worked here. But, just like all first timers at our resort, it took her less then a day to decide that she liked working in the nude. Like many women, she went topless first, wearing just her jeans, and then decided wearing clothes at work here was silly, so she started working nude. Not only does she like working in the nude, she wants to help promote our business.

Here she shot a video encouraging everyone to vacation at a nudist resort.

To see the video which is NSFW as Norma is topless in the video, click here: http://bit.ly/aPKHQb

Too bad we can't post the video on You Tube as Youtube does not allow toplessness in videos.

Now is the perfect time for a fun, romantic, unique vacation experience.

Never been to a clothing optional resort before? No problem. We are the most mainstream nudist resort in the US and are perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time!

In the December 2009 issue of our local magazine Palm Springs Life, the Best of the Best issue, Terra Cotta Inn was selected as one of the 3 best boutique hotels in the whole Palm Springs area. And we are considered the best not because we are exclusive and snobby, but because we are a fun, friendly, affordably luxurious resort.

You are more than welcome to book both the Friday and Saturday January 29th and 30th or just the Saturday January 30th.

The weather is absolutely perfect for nude sunbathing. Low to mid 70's and 100% sunny.

And the weather is supposed to be great all next week too.

So if you have always wanted to vacation at a clothing optional resort now is the perfect time.

This weekend and next weekend are the last two weekends this winter or spring where you can book just a Friday and Saturday or Saturday night. After that, we have minimum night stays on weekends.

Since we are the ONLY nudist resort in the western US that caters to couples on vacations, weekends in high season are usually booked in advance by vacationers. Guests who want 1 or 2 night stays always stay with us on Sunday thru Thurs nights. And since we are busy midweek, it is just as much fun here midweek as it would be staying at another nudist resort just on a Saturday night.

Interesting article on why Getting Naked is good for your Brain


"Get Naked: It’s Good for Your Brain

Okay, buck naked? I am. Fun. Toes wiggle in the shag carpet. Butt cheeks stick to the chair. Nipples goose-bump. We’re natural... nudists! Our huge organs (skin) tingle with sensual data that’s zipped to our thrilled brains. We feel... wild, healthy, alert, spunky. Alive.

Clothing is crushing us! Trapped in tomb-like textiles, we exile our flesh from experiencing the environment. We atrophy the majority of our epidermis...


History reveals many cultures that were not clothes-minded. Spartans were basically bare and their victories in pan-Hellenic sports competitions enticed all neighboring Greeks to exercise nude, creating the word “gymnasium” (Greek gymnos = naked). Romans mingled in magnificent bathhouses, enjoying dense communal nudity as they drank, dined, defecated, bathed, read books, argued politics, and watched theater. Adamists — naked heretics — performed stripped-down church services in North Africa, Bohemia, the Netherlands, and England. Pre-Hitler Germans were avid adherents of Freikorperkultur (“Free Body Culture”) with 70,000 attending co-ed Nacktkultur schools. There’s naked Japanese in hot springs, naked Finns in saunas, “sky-clad” Jain monks in India, plus millions of nudists worldwide going to “Nakation” camps, beaches, and resorts...

Many famous figures are bare-all aficionados; too many politicians to name, so I’ll just list sci-fi and scientists: Leonard Nimoy, Alexander Graham Bell, Robert Heinlein, and seismologist Charles Richter. Of course, most movie stars skinny-dip at the French Riviera, trying to elude paparazzi seeking pix of Bruce Willis’ willy or Natalie Portman’s port side...

Pediatricians agree that infants thrive with a daily dose of “naked time” because the unhampered range of motion aids brain development. Recent discoveries reveal that the “plastic” brain changes and develops throughout our entire lives. Neuroplasticity pioneer Michael M. Merzenich believes, “everything you can see happen in a young brain can happen in an older brain.” This indicates that “naked time” is equally valuable for humans of any age, especially the elderly.

2. Barefoot Medicine. Going shoeless is now recognized as an anti-Alzheimer’s, brain-boosting activity because the sole sensation entices your brain into growing extra, efficient neuron connections...

3. Soothe Away Your Crazies. Massage is recognized as a therapeutic treatment for mental health issues like depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolarism, borderline personality disorder, learning difficulties, and low self-esteem...

4. Socialization. Self-actualization proponent Abraham Maslow believed “Nudism... is itself a kind of therapy.”...

5. Weak Body, Worried Mind. Clothes are a breeding ground for filthy fungi and bad bacterium, causing yeast infections, urinary tract infections, rotting toenails. Lyme Disease deer ticks can grab onto your sweater and sea lice can sneak into your bathing suit crotch. Testicular cancer is linked to tight briefs, breast cancer to tight bras...

Good (and funny) topless article form a female New Zealand reporter about topless sunbathing


I thought this was a very good and a very funny article from a woman reporters point of view about topless sunbathing.

I love Kiwis. We normally average around 4-6 couples a year from New Zealand that vacation with us. They are such fun people.

Here's the story:

"What's wrong with boobs on beaches?

Toplessness on beaches. This topic, which has recently been brought to the fore by a piece on Campbell Live, makes me furious. Not because I am opposed to breasts being flaunted in the fresh air but because the Christchurch weather of late is simply not providing anyone with the opportunity for flesh-baring of any kind.,,

...I never cease to be amazed by the knee-jerk reaction that people have to the very idea, never mind the reality, of breasts being in plain view. It's as if the very presence of mammaries might lead to some great cataclysm or breakdown of the social fabric. Fabric that could be well put to use in a nice high-neck blouse. What if young children see boobs? How might this warp their tiny, impressionable, prone-to-prurience minds? Well, it wouldn't but that never seems to come up in these conversations, does it?

...Having been on beaches in Europe where entire families from the smallest toddler to the most unfortunately wizened grandma were sans top, I can attest that no one was driven to distraction by the sight. People did not run around looting, worshipping the devil, or dry-humping power-poles as a result (the people who did these things were doing so because they were British...on holiday...in Spain). Don't blame the breasts. It wasn't their fault.

...Now, I am quite sure that I'm not the only person who has an opinion on this subject so I encourage you to lay bare your thoughts, if not your chests. If the notion of free-range breasticles bothers you, can you explain why? Are we, as a nation, hopelessly screwed up when it comes to our bodies? If everyone else was doing it too, would you get yours out?"

Victoria's Secret introduced the half -kini aka topless bikini


Wow, Victoria's Secret is getting brave. They are introducing what they call the half kini which everyone else calls a topless bikini.

Now of course women normally by the top and bottoms of a bikini and just wear the bottoms. But, this topless bikini is made so that it doesn't come with a top. It is meant to be worn bare breasted.

Now of course Victoria's Secret is in the business of selling clothes. And this is from a Spanish You Tube. It may only be available in Europe. The Spaniards aren't like us uptight Americans. On EVERY beach in Spain it is legal to go topless sunbathing.

Vacationing in the nude is extremely romantic


In November 2009, MSNBC had a travel segment on TV called "5 reasons to bare it all on your next vacation." One of the reasons they gave to take a nude vacation is some nudist vacations are very affordable priced especially when compared to staying at textile hotels like Marriotts or Hiltons.

MSNBC recommended our resort, the Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa as the only nudist resort that is a great value in the western US. This is one of the many reasons why we are the most popular nudist resort out west.

However, one of the best reasons to vacation at a nudist resort wasn't listed. Vacationing at some nudist resorts like ours is also very romantic.

Now, most nudist resorts in the US cater to families and kids and are not romantic getaways at all. You go to them on Saturdays with your kids and hurry back home on Sundays. Everything revolves around the kids.

We are one of the few nudist resorts in the whole US that does not want noisy kids at our resort disturbing our guests. So couples from around the world vacation with us.

There is an interesting article on the importance of romantic vacations for couples. I have always felt that nudist resorts are missing out on a very large market segment because they cater cater to families and kids. However, couples taking romantic vacations is very popular.

Our resort, since we cater to couples is a fantastic place to relax and to have fun without kids around.

Here is the article:

"The Best Vacation Ideas for Couples in Love
Under Dating Tips, For Men, For Women

Everyday we go to work, day in and out. We go home kiss our spouses, and the kids, have a bite to eat, and go to bed. The next day we wake up and do it all over again. Over the years we become exhausted of this routine, and we need to look forward to something to keep us going. A vacation is the perfect thing for someone that is stuck in this routine. Not only will it make you happy, but it will liven you up. It will bring the spice back into your relationship. Now traveling with the kids is always fun, but it is in no way a vacation most of the time. You are still doing everything to keep them entertained. This vacation should be about you, and a reward for everything you do for each other. That is why you need to just say no to the kids, ship them off to your mother and law, and say scianara..."

The author suggests some expensive vacations like going to Paris or the Caribbean thinking spending lots of money is romantic.

Wouldn't it have been nice if she had also said take a vacation at a romantic clothing optional resort like The Terra Cotta Inn Palm Springs? People these days don't have the money to waste on overpriced vacations in Mexico or the Caribbean.

In these hectic times, it is more important than ever to de-stress. An affordable clothing optional vacation at Terra Cotta is the perfect place to go.

Now is the time to do something fun and different. Try topless or nude sunbathing.

Naked Rambler Stephen Gough may be sentanced to life in prison for wanting to walk around nude

Typically people who murder someone in England are sentenced from 10 to 25 years in prison. Of course situations very. Also many crimes of passion murderers are sentence to "open prison" which is sort of like an American halfway house where you have your own rooms, clothes, there are no guards and you are on the honor system.

See in America, jailing people is big business. Normally, prison guards have the biggest state unions, so they want as many people locked up as possible with the maximum of security.

England is different. they want people to re-enter society. So for them to want to lock up a nudist for life, that's pretty scary.

Stephen Gough enjoys walking around England nude. Sadly he has been arrested and jailed many times for doing so and he has spent a lot of time in jail. He has said he is like a modern day Rosa Parks trying to enlighten everyone that it is OK to be nude in public.

Now some nudists are uncomfortable with him as he pushes the envelope. However, if woman did not push for the right to vote, they never would have received it. If Rosa Parks did not refuse to go to the back of the bus, it would have been years before someone else got up the courage like her. If women hadn't have refused to wear the neck to ankle bathing costumes of the 1890's and insisted on safer bathing suits, then bikinis would never have been invented, etc.

I wish him good luck.

Here's the story:

British man Stephen Gough given ultimatum: Wear pants or go to jail for life

Naked rambler Stephen Gough, seen above in 2005, has been given an ultimatum: put on some clothes or go to jail for the rest of his life...

But an eccentric British man – who likens himself to civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks – is taking his time to think it over.

Stephen Gough, who has become famous for trying to walk around Britain naked, was found guilty earlier this week of breaching the peace by walking naked in the street after being released from Perth Prison Dec. 17, and refusing a police request to put clothes on in public, the Daily Mail reported.

Gough - who has spent most of the past seven years in jail for identical crimes - declined an offer to walk free on Monday on condition that he get dressed.

Sheriff Lindsay Foulis told Gough he wouldn’t have to be “crystal ball gazing” to realize that the same thing would happen “again and again and again.”

Gough, 50, said he may “potentially” stay in jail forever.

During his trial Gough compared himself to Rosa Parks and said his behavior was “reasonable,” the Daily Mail said.

“Essentially this is about individual freedom and people’s tolerance to other people being different. I understand a lot of people will disagree and have strong feelings about it.”...

“People who have brought great change often have to go to prison first,” Gough said. “People often have to go to prison for many years before others see the light.”

It’s estimated that Gough’s efforts to remain naked have cost the UK about $400,000, the Daily Mail said.

I guess the thought of someone being different and walking around naked is scarier than someone who commits murder in England.

Good Luck Stephen Gough

64% of people polled say this winter is worse than others - Time to nude vacation in sunny Palm Springs!


This January has been one of the worst ever for cold weather throughout the US and Canada. Florida is setting record low temperature. For instance in the last 10 days the High in Orlando, Florida has only been 58F.

Compared to the upper 70's and sunshine that Palm Springs, California has, you now know why smart nudists always go to sunny Palm Springs for their vacations. Everyone in the midwest and east coast always says it is well worth the extra travel time to fly to Palm Springs for good weather instead of ruining their week long vacation in the cold and rain of Florida.

A recent survey discusses peoples winter vacation plans. Here's the story:

64% Say This Winter Is Worst In Recent Years

Baby, it’s been cold outside.

In fact, new Rasmussen Reports national telephone polling finds that 64% of Americans think winter in their area has been worse this year than it has been in recent years. Twenty-eight percent (38%) disagree.

Men appear to be feeling the cold more than women. Adults under the age of 40 are more likely than their elders to say this winter is worse than others in recent years...

While most Americans agree this winter is the coldest in recent years, 60% also believe, generally speaking, that the media make the weather sound worse than it really is. Only 31% disagree and say the media do not overplay weather coverage...

Nineteen percent (19%) of adults have taken or plan to take a winter vacation this year. Seventy-five percent (75%) don’t have any such travel plans.

Those making more than $75,000 per year are much more likely to take a winter vacation than those who earn less.

In part, that’s because 59% of all Americans say the bad economy makes them less likely to take a winter vacation this year. Thirty-four percent (34%) say the economy is not a factor in their travel plans.

But then winter is the least favorite time of the year for Americans to take a vacation. Only nine percent (9%) rate winter as their favorite vacation season. Forty-five percent (45%) prefer to take a summer vacation, while 21% cite spring as their favorite time to vacation and 15% say the same of fall...

With the beautiful weather we have been having lately in Palm Springs, there is no reason not to vacation in Palm Springs. And indeed we are very busy, for instance today we just have 4 empty rooms.

Now is the perfect time for a fun, romantic, unique vacation experience.

Never been to a clothing optional resort before? No problem. We are the most mainstream nudist resort in the US and are perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time!

Casino night was a fun party at Terra Cotta Inn, Palm Springs, California

Our guests had so much fun last night. We had blackjack, roulette, and craps. We gave away over $750 in free prizes. Sorry that everyone couldn't make it out. And best of all our Las Vegas style casino night was free for our guests.

Now that brings me to something interesting that I just learned. We had a couple come for day use today. Yes, Palm Springs is the warmest part of the US. 100% sunny today. Palm Springs is a year round nudist paradise. I will never understand why people go anywhere else.

I have had nudists from the east coast tell me they go to Florida because it's a closer flight. My thinking is it takes 2-3 hours to get to Florida and 6 to Palm Springs. When you are in Florida you are almost GUARANTEED to have rain on your vacation as Florida is the rainiest state in the US. It averages 60 inches of rain a year. Last year Palm Springs had 3.18 inches of rain. Why would any nudist want to fly somewhere where the weather is going to be bad? Come to Palm Springs.

Anyway, this guest said to me she wished she had known about our casino night party. I told here she could follow us on twitter or facebook, or our yahoo group or read our blog.

She told me she is a school teacher and has a school notebook computer. It has software on it that shows everywhere she goes on the net and she would never look at ANYTHING nudist related as she is afraid the school would find out and she could lose her job.

Talk about Big Brother. The last 9 years the Bill of rights has been trashed. People are so afraid. She is to afraid to use her work computer even at home on her own free time.

Years ago I started a blog called http://palmspringsfun.blogspot.com I think I am going to have to start writing for it again so people will have a safe spot to learn what is happening in Palm Springs and at the Terra Cotta Inn.

Somehow, I think our founding fathers would be rolling over in their graves is they knew how much government and the fear of our own government as taken over our lives.

You might be a nudist column from AANR E-Bulletin


I think AANR has done a great job in the last number of years in showing that nude recreation and nude vacations are normal and mainstream. The Guinness world record skinny dip was a genius idea and generated lots of positive PR for nudism.

In the current AANR E- Bulletin (I don't have a link as it comes as an e-mail, John Kinman the president wrote a fun "you might be a nudist" column.

Here it is:

"Below is an excerpt from AANR President John Kinman's President's Podium column that will appear in the February issue of The Bulletin.

While nude recreation and nude travel opportunities have grown a great deal over the past several years, we are still mostly a boutique business compared with large textile resorts with greater economies of scale. If you're willing to pay more to wear less, you could be a nudist.

I've heard of some other descriptions of nudist travelers. With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy and his comedy routine, "You might be a redneck," I offer the following:

YOU MIGHT BE A NUDIST IF:

* You spend a great weekend at a nudist resort and are almost to the exit gate when you realize that you forgot to get dressed.

* You sign up to a time share presentation, take the free gift, and when shown the other resorts you could trade for ask, "Which ones allow me to be nude?"

* You start to walk out of your RV in the morning naked and, for a moment, need to verify that you aren't staying at a KOA.

* You are never without a towel.

* You choose an upstairs room at a hotel with an interior hallway so that your window curtains can be left open and still allow you to be nude.

* When checking in to the Holiday Inn you ask, "What are the clothing-optional hours for the pool and spa?"

* At home, you keep a robe by your front door.

* You buy a velcro waist band to hold tennis balls.

* You can actually identify with this list."

Now besides from being cute, his column brings up a number of issues that pertain to nudist resorts and nudism.

He wrote "If you're willing to pay more to wear less, you could be a nudist." High prices is one of the biggest turn offs for potential nudists. Yes, John is right, this is a boutique industry and yes we have much heavier expenses compared to chain hotels who have the economies of scale, and yes some nudists are weather sensitive and unreliable, they will cancel even if there is only a 5% chance of rain, yet nudist resorts still should be competitive with textile hotels in their area.

When we started The Terra Cotta Inn 15 years ago, because we have been nudists for a long time before we opened, we were tired of paying the so called "nudist premium." Extra money for less amenities and service is not right. Thus, we priced our resort to be competitive with other textile hotels in Palm Springs. Within 3 years time, we had one of the highest occupancy rates of ALL hotels in town which we have maintained ever since. And we have ALWAYS been considered one of the best values of ALL hotels in Palm Springs.

However, many nudist resorts still insist on over charging. Look at the places in Mexico and the Caribbean. They all charge way more to be on the nude side compared to the prude side. This turns off so many people. And they also think American nudist resorts overcharge too.

Many times we have had nudists stay at textile resorts in Palm Springs and come to our hotel for day use. They figured that we were way more expensive than local textile hotels. Which wasn't true. They didn't even bother to call us for rates as they just assumed we over charged just like the Caribbean places. For nudism to grow, nudist resorts are going to have to become more competitive price wise.

John writes "You spend a great weekend at a nudist resort." Nudists have to stop thinking that nudist resorts are only weekend getaways. It is a self fulfilling prophecy. Think vacation resorts.

When we opened 15 years ago, we looked for spacious property with big rooms. There were no nudist vacation resorts in the western US at that time (and there still aren't except for us). I remember Lee Baxandall who was the head of the Naturist Society tried to give us some "fatherly" advice.

When we told him at a meeting that we intended to find a property that catered to vacationers instead of being a weekend getaway, he told us we were naive. He said nudists and naturists all know you only vacation in the Caribbean. American nudist places are just weekend getaways. His advice was buy a cheap place with tiny rooms and target the Southern Californian weekend getaway market. Get a bar, charge lots of money, and bring in lots of day guests who will buy a lot from your bar. That's the way to make money he advised.

Of course as our guests all know, we did not follow any of his advice (he also told us don't promote nudist resorts as being fun as that would attract the wrong element. Market body acceptance). We bought a spacious resort with large rooms and limit day use. We also let guests BYOB instead of having a bar and overcharging for cocktails. Thus we are the only nudist resort in the western US that caters to vacationers and is popular 7 days a week instead of just weekends like everyone else.

The other thing is nudist resort owners have to be honest with their guests. In December right before Christmas, we are slow (the whole travel industry is slow then. We tell potential guests there may only be 4 or 5 other couples here (we are still busier than everyone else) when they book. We actually will lose guests as they want to come when it is a more social atmosphere here. Yet, I know from doing tours at our resort that other nude places in Palm Springs book people and don't tell them that they are slow. Many a time we let couples stay here for free day use at our resort as they are so disappointed that no one told them that no one else would be at the place they booked and they can't get out of their reservations.

In my opinion, nudist resort owners have a responsibility for guests happiness. Now I know there are some people that don't want other people around when they nude sunbathe and we always recommend other places instead of booking them here, yet, most people like social nudism. And to book someone at a nudist resort when they are going to be the only one there is not fair to the guests. And to book a member of the press midweek at a nudist place where they will write they were the only person there is even worse as it makes nudism appear to not be popular.

For nudism to grow, people in the nudist movement have to stop saying weekends and say vacations. Otherwise, first timers will only think of American nudist resorts as weekend getaways.

Finally John writes "When checking in to the Holiday Inn you ask, "What are the clothing-optional hours for the pool and spa?" This brings up one of the biggest points. Card carrying nudists are probably the biggest group of people that do not support their own businesses. Immigrants have always supported their own small businesses. The Chinese, Vietnamese, Koreans, always shopped at their own small businesses. Gays try to shop at gay businesses, yet so many card carrying nudists and naturists purposely will not stay at a nudist resort. Even proud of that fact.

Earlier this week, someone wrote on the true nudist website "Are there public places in Palm Springs CA area? Looking for a place to enjoy the sun without going to a resort?" Now that person is Canadian, I assume they will be staying at a hotel somewhere in town. Why are they purposely not wanting to support nudist resorts and instead give their money to textile hotels? On other forums I have read where so called "nudists" proudly write they would never go to a nudist resort. This behavior is so strange. You never see gays write they would never support gay businesses, yet nudists do it all the time.

Well nudist resorts and organizations are what makes nudism popular. If it wasn't for nudist resorts and organizations getting the positive PR, nude beaches would never come into existence. If nudists want places to enjoy nude recreation, they have to support nudist resorts and the organizations. especially in with this economy. So many nudist places are going out of business. And people are dropping out of the nudist organizations.

Yes, I know people say we have free nude beaches, but if there is no longer any organizations or resorts to get positive PR, then someday, there will be no free beaches either.

So change your thinking. Think of American nudist resorts as places to take vacations not just weekend getaways. Get more competitive with pricing, continue to generate lots of positive PR. If we do things like this, the nude recreation industry will grow in the US.

Year after year, you make New Years resolutions that you fail to keep. This new year or should we say nude year, why not add a fun vacation experience to your resolutions. One that you will want to keep. Resolve to take an exciting vacation at a clothes free nude sunbathing resort.

"We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing." Nobel Prize winner George Bernard Shaw wrote these wise words decades ago. They were true then and even truer today.

1) It's the most romantic vacation you will ever experience.

Terra Cotta Inn is a clothing optional resort that caters to couples. No noisy kids here to disturb your relaxation. Terra Cotta puts you into husband - wife mode or boyfriend - girlfriend mode. You can escape the mom and dad routine all vacation long.

A Terra Cotta Inn getaway will create a romantic jump start for kicking your love life back into high gear.

2) A Terra Cotta Inn vacation is a great value

In November 2009, MSNBC had a TV travel segment. They said "nakation anyone? The skinny on clothing optional vacations." The show recommended three nudist resorts that deliver exceptionally good value and deals. Naturally, Terra Cotta Inn was one of the recommended resorts.

From complimentary breakfast and afternoon snacks, free parking, free WiFi, top of the line king sized beds, state of the art salt water system heated pool and jacuzzi (the water feels heavenly on your bare skin), early check in at 10am and late check out at 5pm, in room refrigerators, microwaves, coffee, DVDs, flat screen TVs, ipod docks and more, they have all the amenities you would expect at much more expensive resorts.

The Terra Cotta Inn is the most mainstream nudist resort in America and is perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time. Repeat guests from around the world flock here for fun vacations.

Women especially love Terra Cotta vacations. In society, women are constantly judged by their looks. They're told they're not sexy enough unless they buy certain cosmetics, wear certain trendy designer clothes, or wear lots of bling.

5) Palm Springs is one of the Best Vacation Destinations in the United States.

This November, the popular travel website Tripadvisor picked Palm Springs as one of the top 5 sun destinations to vacation at this year. Last year, Lonely Planet Travel Guide books in their book "Blue List Best in Travel 2008" wrote "want to enjoy the best...the planet has to offer? Forget Sydney, San Francisco, or Shanghai... They then recommended Palm Springs as one of the worlds top 10 "cities on the rise."

Palm Springs is a fun resort community. It has museums, art galleries, casinos, casual and fine dining, world class golf, hiking, sight seeing, shopping, and the largest discount designer shopping mall just 20 minutes away.

Terra Cotta Inn Discounted rooms for the Palm Springs Film Festival


As readers all know, our resort The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa is one of the best value hotels in ALL of the Palm Springs area. Nude sunbathers are lucky as they get to stay at such a great priced hotel.

And in January, we have our annual room sale on Sunday - Thursdays of stay one night, the 2nd is half priced. So for instance, if you booked for a Monday and Tuesday your rate would be $223.50 or only $111.75/night including breakfast and afternoon snacks, early check in at 10am and late check out at 5pm.

Today the Los Angeles Times had a blog post about "special rates" for the Palm Springs Film Festival. All of the places they quoted were more expensive than our resort. One of the places has a "discount" rate of $295/night.

Not only are we more affordable, we are more luxurious than many of the recommended places. We have top of the line king sized beds, state of the art salt water system heated pool and jacuzzi, free wifi, pool side heaters, in room coffee, dvd players, and more.

It is so hard to convince the mainstream press that one of the BEST hotels and BEST VALUE hotels in Palm Springs also happens to be a clothing optional resort. Some of the press still think of nudist resorts as a nudist colony out in the woods. Well, we have nothing in common with the nudist colonies of olden days. We are better than most boutique hotels and resorts. We are also the most mainstream nudist resort in America and perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time.

Our local city magazine, Palm Springs Life Magazine knows all of the hotels in Palm Springs. They have been publishing for over 50 years. In their December 2009, Best of the Best issue, they selected 3 hotels as the TOP boutique hotels in town. We were one of the hotels that was selected (we were #2). It's too bad that the Los Angeles Times decided to exclude one of the best hotels in Palm Springs in their blog post just because we're clothing optional.

Sadly people will over pay staying at textile hotels where they would have had a much better time staying at our clothing optional resort. MSNBC in November had a TV segment called "5 reasons to bare it all on your next vacation." They told people clothing optional resorts were much better values than textile hotels and even named Terra Cotta Inn one of the 2 best deal nudist resorts in the US.

So this post is letting the media know that people can come to the Terra Cotta Inn go topless and nude sunbathing all day long and see some of the best movies at the Palm Springs film festival in the evening. And we are a lot better value than the places you are recommending.

Lonely Planet Travel Guide picks Terra Cotta Inn as one of the top 10 clothing optional resorts of the world


Here at The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa in sunny Palm Springs, California we have been getting a lot of good press lately.

I just learned that Lonely Planet Travel Guide company, (one of the biggest in
the world) picked Terra Cotta Inn as one of the top 10 clothing optional resorts
of the world.

Lonely Planet is owned by the BBC and is based in Australia. They have "a
commitment to independent travel, trustworthy advice and editorial
independence." They also have the reputation of seeking out great vacation
values as they were started by backpackers.

Anyone can say Ritz Carltons are the best, but who these days can afford them?
As the saying goes, "Value is the new luxury."

I have always said that Terra Cotta Inn is the ONLY nudist resort in the US that is affordable luxury and it is nice to see that Lonely Planet agrees with me. Plus we don't charge daily day use fees like most nudist resorts in the US.

Lonely Planet picked only two nudist resorts in the US, Cypress Cove and us. This is consistent as Cypress Cove is a very nice place and we are the ONLY nudist resort that caters to couples on vacation in the western US.

People always ask our opinions about other nudist places. It's nice for me now to
show non biased reviews of the clothing optional industry. And the assessments are very accurate.

I agree with the assessments although I really would not have included Hedonism with nudist resorts. But then they did warn people that it can get wicked and wild.

Here's their list:

"Top 10 clothing optional resorts of the world

Grand Lido Braco, Jamaica
A nice resort for couples. There are nude and prude sides. Grand Lido And Terra Cotta are 2 best places for 1st time nude sunbathing. June to the end of November is hurricane season. Very, very expensive.

Travel Predictions for 2010 - Clothing optional resorts to increase in popularity


There is a great travel website called http://www.reviewresorts.com They just came out with their top 20 travel predictions for 2010.

A lot of the predictions apply businesses in the nude sunbathing industry.

Here they are:

"2010 Travel Predictions
January 1st, 2010 by George

2010 Travel Prediction #1:
Mid-market Travel Deals & Luxury On-Sale Travel Market explodes. Tom's comment, The nice nudist resorts in the US cater to the mid-market. The segment of the nudist industry that is suffering is the overpriced non nudist owned places in Mexico and the Caribbean. They've priced themselves out of the market.

2010 Travel Prediction #5:
Sorry, for this one…. Drug violence in Mexico impacts tourism. Tom's comment, many nudists I know will NEVER go back to Mexico for nude vacations as the places are so overpriced and nudists are afraid for their safety there. I also hear many nudists won't go back to St. Martin or Jamaica because of crime.

2010 Travel Prediction #6:
Hawaii begins a slow rebound. Finds ways to sell the experience giving vacationers a reason to go back to Hawaii. Tom's comment, yes you have to give nudists a reason to want to come back to your resort. Here at Terra Cotta Inn, Palm Springs, California we average just over a 75% repeat guest rate which is one of the highest in the travel industry. Plus, we are a nudist vacation destination where repeat guests from around the world want to come here instead of just a weekend getaway for locals like most places. Typically, according to Lodging magazine if a vacation resort gets a 15% repeat guest rate, they are doing well.

2010 Travel Prediction #11:
RV Camping Resorts begin offering Rental RV’s parked on the grounds so people can save the cost of owning. Tom's comment, a number of nudist campgrounds are already doing this.

2010 Travel Prediction #12:
Clothing Optional Resorts increase in popularity as people shed fake status and seek substance. Tom's comment, In December's Palm Springs Life magazine, the Best of the Best issue, we were selected as one of the 3 best boutique hotels in the whole Palm Springs area. We were selected as one of the best not because we are exclusive and snobby, but because we are very popular, and have the best most fun, friendly guests.

2010 Travel Prediction #13:
Day Spas evolve more into mini-resorts. Begin to provide resort experience. National chains begin to appear. Tom's comment, examiner.com picked us as one of the 8 best day spas in the whole Palm Springs area. Getting fantastic massages at a reasonable rate is one of the reasons people love our resort. We have many guests come out for day use.

2010 Travel Prediction #15:
The world calms down a bit. Surly the terrorist must know that if Obama fails, the extreme-right comes to power.

2010 Travel Prediction #18:
Girlfriend & Best Friend getaways increase….Married couple getaways increase MORE!. Tom's comment. Married couples getaways are extremely popular among nudists. I'll never understand why so many nudist resorts still insist on catering to families with kids instead of couples wanting to getaway for romantic vacations. Girlfriend getaways is a major under served market in by the nudist industry.

2010 Travel Prediction #19:
Travel Agents learn that increasing their “on-line footprint” is the path to success. Tom's comment, all nudist businesses including ours need to increase our online footprint. There are still too many people in the world that would love vacationing at nudist resorts, but are not aware of what we offer."
