Palm Springs and Terra Cotta inn are winners with the Los Angeles Times 2011 Readers Choice Awards

Palm Springs, California is the nudist mecca of the US. Averaging under 3 inches of rain a year, it is the sunniest city in America. Textiles and nudists all LOVE vacationing in Palm Springs.

From Conde Nast Traveler Magazine, to Vanity Fair Magazine, to Lonely Planet Travel Guide books picking Palm Springs last year as one of the top 10 destinations you must vacation at (and Lonely Planet is the largest Travel guide book company in the world), the media is all saying for a great, fun vacation "go vacation in Palm Springs, California."

And one of the reasons Lonely Planet picked Palm Springs as one of the 10 best travel destinations is because you can go nude sunbathing at Terra Cotta Inn.

Well on July 24th, the Los Angeles Times 2011 Readers Choice Awards were announced. Guess what city was the "Best SoCal Getaway Runner Up?" Palm Springs, California! San Diego was picked as the best getaway and Palm Springs was Runner up. Way to go Palm Springs!!!

And of course guess which resort was picked as the BEST, MOST POPULAR resort in All Southern California, textile or nudist? Terra Cotta Inn nude sunbathing resort.

It is so cool that nice nudist resorts are finally able to compete with textile hotels. Click here to see the results

Now of course we were picked as the best not because we are exclusive and snobby. No, snobs are referred elsewhere. One of the many reasons we are the best is because we are friendly and so much fun. We are also a fantastic value as reported by both trip advisor and MSNBC.

Now is the perfect time for a fun, romantic, sunny, unique vacation experience. One that you will want to repeat over and over.

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!

Last November, MSNBC picked us as the Best value nude sunbathing resort in the western US.

And in December, 2010 Palm Springs Life Magazine picked us as the BEST small resort in the whole Palm Springs area in their Best of the Best issue. It's pretty cool that a nudist resort is considered the best place to stay in town.

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.

Hedonism II, Jamaica
Be as wild and wicked as you want. Hedo is unique in the world. Not for the shy. A fun drinking and partying atmosphere if that is what you want. For singles and couples. By Negril. June to Nov is hurricane season.

Terra Cotta Inn, Palm Springs, CA
The #1 choice is Terra Cotta Inn. If you want to relax, be pampered, have fun, year round sunshine, they are the best. A 17 room inn just for couples. The perfect place to try nude sunbathing for the first time. Affordable luxury.

Costa Natura Spain
A beautiful location in the South of Spain. Perfect for families. Affordable.

Club Orient, St Martin
Located on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. St. Martin is French speaking. Families and couples from around the world stay here. Be warned June to end of November is hurricane season. Very Expensive.
