Your guide to nude beaches and naturist resorts in Spain
Besides the beach pages, NudeBeaches.es also covers naturist resorts and villages for visitors who want a longer stay. Surrounding hotels are often textile-only; we note that when we know it, so you can stay nearby and still visit a nude beach for the day.
Highlighted nude beaches
- Playa de Ses Illetes, Formentera - Clear water and white sand on this Balearic beach, a well-known naturist stretch on the island.
- El Playazo, Vera, Almería - An official naturist beach on this site, in the Vera Playa coastal strip. Playa de los Muertos in Cabo de Gata-Níjar is another well-known Almería shore; we do not yet have a page for it.

Nudist beaches on this site
We aim to cover the nudist beaches that have published pages here. It is unrealistic for us to visit every shore, so we rely on official lists and on visitors reporting a change when something is out of date.
For official nude beaches we use Spanish government and tourism sources, including the Guía de Playas. For unofficial beaches we use publicly available sources. Browse the Spain-wide beach map, the Alicante Costa Blanca guide, the Majorca beach guide, or the regions below.
If you know of a beach we have missed, use the report form. While any beach in Spain can theoretically be used for naturism, and topless sunbathing is widespread, our goal is to point you to beaches where nude sunbathing is commonplace.
Tips for visiting nude beaches and naturist resorts
- Respect local customs: Always check for signs indicating where nudism is allowed and follow local norms.
- Law and etiquette: Read our guide to Spanish naturist law and beach etiquette before you go.
- Bring essentials: Sunscreen, hats, parasols, and plenty of water, as many beaches have little shade.
- Leave no trace: Use the designated bins; if there are none, take your rubbish home.
Frequently asked questions
What is naturism on this site?
Nude Beaches is a family-friendly guide to official and unofficial nudist and clothing-optional beaches in Spain. We list published beaches by region rather than an official ranking.
Is naturism legal in Spain?
Mere non-sexual public nudity is not a Spanish crime, but towns may restrict clothing by bylaw. Always check signs and local rules before you visit. Read the visitor guide to law and etiquette.
How do I choose a naturist beach?
Start with published regional guides and the Spain-wide beach map. Expect naturism on quieter coves with a long tradition or clear signs, and textiles on urban promenade beaches. Follow the majority behaviour in that sector.
Where can I find mapped beaches in Alicante or Majorca?
Open the Alicante Costa Blanca guide, the Majorca beach guide, or the Spain-wide beach map. Those pages list published locations only.
Are there naturist stays and holidays in Spain?
The stays directory lists hotels, resorts, campsites and apartments after editorial review, with family-friendly framing. Adults-only properties are labelled when we know that.
What etiquette should I follow?
Be courteous, do not photograph other people without consent, and keep sexual behaviour private. Federation culture in Spain is family-oriented. Check the law and etiquette guide before you travel.
