Naturist resort Vera Playa for naturists and nudists

Vera Playa is located in the South East of Spain and is a true paradise for naturists. The nudist resort is located directly on the Costa Almeria in the province of Almeria, in the region of Andalusia.

Some consider this resort as one of the world’s best naturist resorts located right at the beach.
Vera Playa owes its name to the village of Vera with the center about 10 kilometers inland.

The naturist part covers numerous streets and buildings and is so large that you could easily call it a village. Vera Playa’s characteristics can be compared to some extent to the naturist village of Cap d’Agde in the South of France. In fact Cap d’Agde is said to have been a source of inspiration when the construction of Vera Playa started.

Vera Playa is mainly populated by naturists in contrast to the naturist village in the South of France, where swingers predominate. And yet you can also meet some swingers in Vera Playa, but in a more discreet way. Read more about this under the heading Club Templum, a prominently present club.

In the built-up area of Vera Playa you can walk around naked in many places and before you have seen all the corners of the resort you have been on the road for quite some time. There is a strip in the built-up naturist zone, also known as the strip. Here you will find among other things a small supermarket, bars, discos, restaurants (including a pizzeria) and a kind of club that you would not immediately expect here. You can read more about this further on this page.

Open and naked

The uniqueness of this resort is its lack of physical separation from the ordinary world. It is not a fenced-in area with fences or walls. There are also no barriers to stop people and you do not have to report to a reception to buy an access card or day pass.
In some cases you will not even see a marking sign indicating you have arrived in a naturist zone.
Lost tourists can therefore come suddenly face to face with major surprises if they enter this area unexpectedly. It should be noted however that this does not apply to all roads. In some places you will see a marking sign indicatig the naturist zone.

The reverse is also true and it is not always marked that you leave the “zona naturista”. You will not be immediately handcuffed if you are naked outside this zone and the people and the police in the immediate vicinity are of course used to these kind of mistakes.

But in case you haven’t seen fellow naturists for a while it is a good idea to check whether you are still in the naturist area.

Note: Under Spanish law it is theoretically allowed to walk naked. However a number of municipalities have prohibited this with own regulations.

The nudist beach of Vera Playa

In addition to the urbanized area there is also the nice, large nudist beach for naturists. Officially this beach is one kilometer long, but unofficially this beach area covers 2 to 2.5 kilometers. So you can sunbathe undisturbed and walk around naked in many places on the beach. Taking into account that you already can walk naked from your accommodation towards the beach you will understand that it is a very pleasant place to stay for naturists. The particularly relaxed and casual atmosphere of this little paradise is valued a lot among the visitors.

Naked 365 days a year

Vera Playa is one of the warmest regions of mainland Europe. In theory it is possible to be able to walk naked 365 days a year in this place. In reality this will not always be possible in the winter because, it can get too cold for naturism. But usually there will be days during wintertime when the weather allows you to be naked for some hours a day.
It is also worth mentioning that in most places naturism is allowed, but not required. You can expect mandatory nudity at the swimming pool of a naturist hotel.
