What is Naturism? Can I stay in my clothes?

Naturism is a way of living free of clothing because you find it more natural and healthy for you. We were born naked, why can’t we live naked?

The retreat is special because it is geared for the first time or veteran naturist. To create most comfort for all guests, it is expected to bare it all. It may feel awkward at first if you are new, but once you feel the freedom, you will be addicted to baring it all!

Is this a swingers retreat?

Naturist, Nudist and Swinger are not synonymous. This is not a swingers retreat. The nature of being nude is sensual in its element. However, sexual activities are expected to be held in the privacy of your rooms.

This retreat is for couples to deepen their passion and connection. We will guide you through breathwork, using your senses and connection workshops.  Some activities may be tantra oriented, but this is not a tantra retreat.

Physical Requirements

We understand love comes in all shapes, sizes, and physical needs; however the property this retreat is hosted on does require the ability to walk many steps to all of the rooms, pools, and waterfall. We appreciate your understanding and hope to find more locations in the future to continue providing totally inclusive retreats!

Is this retreat Adults Only?

Yes! This is a time for couples with our without kids to get away from the distractions of the world and enjoy an adults only atmosphere of fun and sun!

Do you own the property?

We do not own the property. The Shelter from the Storm villas are owned by Viriginie and Pascal since 2022. We think they’re pretty amazing for graciously agreeing to allow Discover Passion Retreats to host our Nudist retreat there. Maybe it’s because they’re French? Either way, so excited to work with Viriginie and Pascal for many future retreats. You can read more about the owners and visit their instagram on The Property page.

Is this a hotel?

This is not a hotel.  The owners of Shelter from the Storm have meticulously crafted a luxurious Airbnb property of 5 homes with soft linens and towels, beautiful decor, and lush landscaping. We immediately fell in love with the property after a brief stay in one of their properties. With Virginie and Pascal’s permission, we have specifically leased the property for a Couples Only Nudist Retreat, Discover Passion Retreats’ First! 

We do not provide daily turndown service, although it is available upon request. 

There is No Room Service. The property is a luxurious Airbnb with staff to maintain the pristine landscaping and homes, but they are not wait staff.

Is the property always nudist?

No.  We are leasing the entire property for the weekend so that we can utilize the entirety of the grounds for the nudism retreat.
