Nudist Travel is Big Business

Vacationing at nudist resorts is more popular than ever. For instance, Terra Cotta Inn is the most popular nudist resort and one of the most popular of ALL resorts in the whole Palm Springs area. In December 2010, Palm Springs Life Magazine in their annual Best of the Best issue picked us as the BEST small resort in the whole Palm Springs area. It's pretty cool that nudists get to stay at the Best.

But, having been open 16 years, we know being the Best is relative as people have different ideas as to what is the best. For instance, if you are a snob or pretentious, you will not enjoy yourself here. Our guests are very friendly and fun, not stuck up. So we would recommend other places for snobs were they would be happy feeling superior.

There are nudists who don't like other people around. They only like to go to nude places where no one would see them. If you want no one around, then tell us. We are happy to recommend places that have low occupancy rates.

This weekend, we had a couple come by for day use. They had thick eastern European accents, but lived in Orange county, Southern California.

We always ask people where they have been and we always then compare and contrast ourselves so that they know are going to the best place for them. Of course, we know most other places don't care enough to screen people like that as we always have guests tell us they wasted a vacation at some other naked place as they thought it would be a nice place like Terra Cotta Inn and they weren't told they were very different.

Anyway, I talked to this eastern European couple and it was hard understanding them. They had been to another place in town before. When they got here, the woman was disappointed that we did not have single men around as she told me enjoyed "playing with all the guys." I didn't question her as to what playing was, but told her to go to that other place as she would be happier there. If it wasn't for the communications barrier, I would have told her not to book here as we weren't what she was looking for when she first called.

Being the Best, we care about our guests and people who might take a vacation with us. We want to make sure they are staying at the correct place for them. Many hotels have a "head in bed" attitude as they don't care if you ever come back. They want your money now. We don't. We want the long term relationship which is one of the reasons why we have one of the highest repeat guest rates in the whole travel industry at just over 80%.

Because of our reputation of being the best in town, we care about you. We care enough that we will even refer you to another place if it is right for what you are looking for.

In my opinion nude resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean are teh biggest offenders that only care about your money. Most are owned and operated by non nudists and are only interested in "heads in beds."

So ALWAYS ask questions of resorts before booking so that you will know the type of place you are booking. An easy question to ask is if the owners work nude, (Mary Clare and I work nude). If the owners are nudists, you know the guests will be too. If the owners stay dressed a lot, you know the guests will too as guests always follow the tone set by the owners and it may not be right for you.

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

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.

Vacation at a nudist Colony - Top wish on many bucket lists

I have been reading more and more blogs lately that have bucket lists. One of the must do items I see is vacationing at nudist colonies or going to nude beaches. Of course most people use the term nudist colony or nudist colonies instead of nudist resort or nudist resorts which is the correct term.


Here is an example from a blog I just read:

"Today my husband is celebrating another year! This year is extra special because it’s nearing the end of an era. He will be 30 next year.

To celebrate his youthfulness, some family and friends put together a little list of 29 things to do before turning 30. We pose this to him as a challenge and also offer it up as a way to ensure year 29 is a very memorable one. As he accomplishes the items on the list, I will blog about them as well as include photos where possible; so be sure to check back often!

29 “Must Do” Things Before Turning 30 (listed in no particular order)
1. Swing by your knees on a flying trapeze
2. Teach the cat a trick
3. Develop your own cocktail and name it
4. Take a day trip to the local nudist colony...

For the full list Click here

One of the items on this persons bucket list besides going to a nudist colony is "wear a Hawaiian shirt for one day", I do that all the time when I am in public here in Palm Springs. I couldn't imagine not wearing Hawaiian shirts as they are so comfortable.

If you wish to knock off another number on your bucket list by vacationing at the best nudist resort in the US then give us, the Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa a call.

Terra Cotta Inn is the most mainstream nudist resort in the US. It is perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time. You will love it here as it is so much fun.

Yes, it is lots of fun vacationing at our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa in sunny Palm Springs< California. People love relaxing topless and nude and getting a great all over suntan.

However, some guests do like to play tourist. One of the fun activities is taking the aerial tram up to the top of Mt. San Jacinto. You go from the 2500 ft. base station up to 8600Ft at the upper station. There is a big park you can go hiking in. Plus you get excellent views from the tram as your going up. It even rotates.

Here is a good story with lots of photos.

"Up the Palm Springs Tramway into Snow with Views of Coachella Valley


Hundreds of thousands of people will swarm to the Palm Springs area this week for Coachella Fest. Many only have tickets for one or two of the three days leaving them with time to explore the area including the Mount San Jacinto State Park via the Palm Springs Tramway...

A couple hours trip is all that's needed to enjoy much of what the park offers. A few trails less than a mile or two in length start near the tram's drop off point, a restaurant serves up cafeteria style food and others just go up to take in the views.

A nakations article with the usual stereotypes

If I had a dollar for every time I heard "I'd love to go to your nudist resort, but I can't until I lose ____ pounds," I'd be a multi millionaire. Yet, this is one of the biggest misconceptions that non non nudists have about vacationing at nudist resorts.

The beauty of a nudist resort vacation is you can be yourself. You DON'T have to lose weight to have a fun, relaxing nude vacation.

Here is her story:

"A relaxing nakation will melt away worries

If it weren’t for the extra pound or 30 I’m carrying around, I might just consider taking a nakation this year...

Seems nakations are all the rage these days. CNN — Curmudgeon News Network — said so. The reporter gives this quote: “‘… there’s the idea that if you’ve lost the shirt off your back, you should go nude,’ said Erich Schuttauf, executive director of the American Association of Nude Recreation.”

...Any-hoo, I think we Americans are more practical than Schuttauf thinks.

Basically, on a nakation:

• We don’t have to worry what to pack: Sunscreen, shoes. Oh, and maybe a towel for those really hot car seats.

• We don’t have to answer calls from the office because there’s no place to carry our cell phones.

• We don’t have to fix our hair or put on our makeup because no one will be looking at our faces..."

For the full story click here

The reporter lists another stereotype, "no one will be looking at our faces."

Yes, for the first 15 or 30 minutes, first timers do check people out as it is a new experience. However, societies rules do not change when you are at a nudist resort. Just like in regular life where you look people in the eye when you talk with them, the same is true at nudist resorts.

Once you vacation at a nice nudist resort, you will wonder why you didn't years ago. And our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa is once of the nicest. We are the most mainstream nudist resort in the US and perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time.

Poll shows 51% of people have been or want to go to a nude beach

Vacationing at nudist resorts and nude beaches is lots of fun. IT is the fastest growing trend in the travel industry. The media constantly writes positive stories about nudist resorts and nude beaches, especially our clothing optional resort. Vacationing clothes free is one of the biggest de-stressers and most fun ways to vacation.

Look at our nudist resort, The Terra Cotta inn clothing optional resort and spa in sunny Palm Springs, California. In these recessionary times, we have the 2nd highest occupancy rate of ALL hotels in Palm Springs and we were the only hotel up in room sales last year.

There is a site called sodahead.com that has nonscientific polls and questions people can answer. A user there created this poll:

Would you ever visit a nude beach.
12% said Yes, I already have.
39% said sounds fun
39% said no way jose
11% said I would scare the fish away

click here for poll

51% said yes or it sounds like fun. I would believe this to be pretty accurate as scientific polls have shown that 25% of Americans have skinny dipped before. But, that doesn't mean they have been to a nude beach.

Vacationing at nice nudist resorts is becoming more and more popular. We hope to see everyone here in sunny Palm Springs. Call us at 800-786-6938 if you have questions or to make reservations for your best, most fun vacation ever.

Vacationing at a clothing optional resort one of the things you have to do before you die

I have already reported on how vacationing at clothing optional and nudist resorts is one of the popular items on peoples bucket lists or things to do before they die.

People are just intrigued by the idea of topless and nude sunbathing.

We have had guests stay at our resort just for the reason that they can cross that off their to do list.

The funny thing is where the people thought they would try it once like parachuting, they end up loving our nudist resort.

Here the story is from a columnist at The San Francisco Chronicle, a major newspaper. Here is the story:


"Things to do before you die

I was having coffee with a friend of mine the other day, who had just returned from a clothing-optional, alcohol-free, vegan spa. She is one of the most un clothing optional alcohol-free-vegan-spa people I know, so I was highly entertained listening to her account of her weekend. "But you know," she said, after sharing the details, "as I said to my spa buddies, being naked in broad daylight is one of those things you should do before you die... so I can cross that off the list. But I love the idea of the list of things you want to do before you die..."

If you have ever wanted to try topless or nude sunbathing, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa is the perfect resort for first timers. We are considered the most mainstream nudist resort in America and perfect for couples trying nude sunbathing for the first time. This July, tripadvisor.com picked us as one of the 10 best clothing optional resorts in the world.
