Only true travelled naturists will know where this photo of me and my friend was taken?
First person to get it right can see all my photos from this vacation!

@scinvestorsc Not nervous. Formentera gives off the most amazing vibes where freedom is in the air. We had an apartment next to beach and as soon as we get there I just took all clothes off and never put them back on.
Beautiful Formentera!
The one place in Europe where you can go anywhere on the entire island nude and no one will give you hassle.
I spent 2 whole weeks nude here in summer 2022 - read my other post about this amazing time for me!

My love for Formentera
Formentera remains one of Europe’s most quietly extraordinary places. South of Ibiza in the Balearic Islands, it draws far fewer visitors than its louder neighbour yet rewards those who reach it with an almost untouched landscape.
White-sand beaches meet water so clear and turquoise it seems unreal. The pace is unhurried, the locals warm, and the island carries a gentle bohemian spirit that invites people simply to exist.
I was 15. My parents chose Formentera deliberately. They were not naturists, and my younger brothers, aged 12 and 9, usually stayed in shorts. Yet they understood how much the island’s relaxed attitude toward the body would mean to me. Unlike places that restrict nudity to designated beaches, Formentera treats it as ordinary. On most stretches of sand you can simply choose what feels right. That openness decided the trip.
We stayed in a simple apartment on the southern coast, fifty metres from Migjorn beach. Migjorn stretches for Km’s - a broad ribbon of soft pale sand backed by low dunes and rocky points, the water shifting from pale aquamarine in the shallows to deeper sapphire. I spent the entire fortnight naked, not only on the beach but walking to cafés and beach bars, sitting under pine trees. No one stared. No one commented. The absence of reaction was itself liberating.
One day we travelled north to Ses Illetes, the island’s most celebrated beach. On the narrow peninsula within Ses Salines Natural Park, Illetes is a dazzling stretch of fine white sand, almost pink in places, bordered by shallow, luminous turquoise water. The sea is usually calm, the horizon broken only by the distant outline of Es Vedrà. Dunes and sparse vegetation frame the shore.
At the edge of this beach sits one of the island’s finest fish restaurants, tables almost in the sand, serving the day’s catch; grilled sea bass, lobster, local prawns still tasting of the sea.
The attached photograph was taken from a low rock outcrop just beyond the main stretch, with the full curve of Illetes and its impossibly clear water behind me. I am posing happily with my brothers. I was one of maybe only 10 people who was fully nude, however I felt totally at ease and that my choice not to wear swimwear was accepted and approved by all.
Being naked throughout those two weeks brought a deep, steady joy. There was the physical pleasure of sun and air on skin, the freedom of movement without fabric, and a constant low buzz of quiet exhilaration. People noticed, of course, but the attention was respectful, occasional glances of open, unembarrassed admiration rather than judgement. That combination of personal liberty and gentle acceptance created a feeling I had never known: that my body belonged entirely to me and the world could meet it without demand.
I tried more than once to persuade my brothers to join me. They refused, content in their shorts, and I felt genuine sadness for them. They were missing the lightness, the mental quiet, the pure physical ease that came with shedding every layer. I wished they could experience the same unselfconscious freedom.
Those two weeks became a turning point. I arrived as a girl who preferred to be nude on the sand and left understanding naturism as a way of being rather than a holiday exception. Confidence accumulated slowly until I no longer felt the need to hide this part of myself.
When we returned home the change was lasting. I stopped carefully editing what I shared. The quiet shame that had once accompanied the word “nudist” evaporated. I had lived 14 days in a place where my preference was simply accepted.
Formentera’s beauty is not limited to its coastline. The island’s small scale encourages exploration by bicycle or on foot. The interior is low and scrubby, dotted with whitewashed houses. Evenings settle into long, soft light. Yet what stays with me most is the permission the place extends: to inhabit your body without apology.

A question I am asked a lot is why did you like growing up going on holidays to naturist resorts, and what did you do when you were there?
The short answer is - the same as I would have done on any other holiday. Sea, Beach, Pool, Waterslides, hang out with new friends, holiday romances etc
The only difference is it was all done naked.
I wish the lifestyle would be normalised and accepted more for the innocent, confidence building and rewarding lifestyle that it is.
And, as I decided to include an image of this here (this is a boy I had 3 “holiday romances” with over 3 consecutive years), it’s completely normal for boys and younger men to sometimes show a little bit of excitement - this should not be something for them or anyone else around them to be scared of - it’s natural and does not automatically mean they have sexual or improper thoughts.
#Naturism is beautiful, we should all embrace it.

@nakedwanderings Thank you this is a great summary. I’ve always heard of Euronat but never been. I used to go to Valalta in Croatia, however this sounds even better from what you write here 😃
