Cancun, located on the beautiful shores of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, is renowned for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and vibrant tourism scene. While Cancun offers a plethora of activities and attractions, including world-class resorts and water sports, it’s important to note that there are no officially designated nude beaches within the city limits.
It’s essential for individuals interested in naturism or visiting nude beaches in Cancun to conduct thorough research, familiarize themselves with local regulations, and respect the region’s cultural norms. While public nudity may not be widely accepted or legally allowed in the area, some resorts offer a private and secluded environment for those seeking a nude vacation.
After our 2-week trip to Cancun, we can only recommend these 3 resorts
1. Hidden Beach Resorts
Hidden Beach Resort is located along the stunning coastline of the Riviera Maya, offering a luxurious and inclusive experience for naturists. The resort features spacious suites with modern amenities, private terraces, and breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea. Guests can enjoy the convenience of all-inclusive services, including meals, drinks, and entertainment.
The resort’s main attraction is its clothing-optional policy, allowing guests to embrace nudity in designated areas fully. The resort provides a private stretch of beach exclusively for its guests, where they can sunbathe, swim, and socialize without needing clothing. The well-maintained beach area offers comfortable loungers and beach umbrellas for guests to relax and soak up the sun.
In addition to the beach, Hidden Beach Resort boasts various facilities and activities for guests to enjoy. There is a swimming pool, hot tubs, a fitness centre, and a spa offering a range of rejuvenating treatments. The resort also provides entertainment and organized activities, including themed parties, live music, and sports.
Getting there
The most convenient way to get to Hidden Beach Resort from Cancun International Airport is via a private transfer or taxi. However, if you plan to explore more of the Riviera Maya area or need more flexibility with your transportation, consider renting a car. The drive from Cancun International Airport to Hidden Beach Resort typically takes 1-1.5 hours via Highway 307 South, the major highway connecting Cancun to Playa del Carmen and Tulum. Car rental companies are readily available at the airport, but booking in advance is advisable to ensure availability.
2. Desire Riviera Maya Resort
Desire Riviera Maya Resort is nestled in the small town of Puerto Morelos, conveniently positioned between the bustling locales of Cancun and Playa del Carmen. This all-inclusive, couples-only resort is unique in its clothing-optional policy, allowing guests to choose what they wear (or don’t) in most parts of the establishment. There are, however, specific public spaces within the resort, such as restaurants and some indoor facilities, where clothing is mandated for sanitary reasons.
At Desire Riviera Maya Resort, guests can enjoy the luxurious experience of sinking their toes into the velvety softness of the beach sand. While it’s worth noting that, like many Caribbean beaches, some seaweed may present, the resort diligently maintains the beach area to ensure a pristine and comfortable environment. With abundant beach beds and loungers, guests can unwind and bask in the sun, embracing the ultimate relaxation of a beachfront getaway.
Relaxation and entertainment go hand in hand at Desire Riviera Maya. The resort houses a luxurious spa offering various treatments to soothe the body and mind. Meanwhile, guests seeking more lively pursuits can enjoy an array of nightly entertainment, including themed parties, live shows, and music events curated by skilled DJs. For those seeking to stay active during their stay, the resort offers a host of activities, including water sports, yoga classes, and a fully-equipped gym. A large swimming pool and beachfront jacuzzis await guests, offering perfect places to unwind.
Getting there
To reach Desire Riviera Maya Resort from Cancun International Airport, a short drive is required. Most guests opt to arrange a transfer through the resort itself or hail a taxi from the airport. Another option is to rent a car. Car rental companies are available at Cancun International Airport. From the airport, take the 307 Highway south towards Puerto Morelos. The resort will be on your right, and the journey typically takes around 20-30 minutes, depending on traffic.
3. Temptation Cancun Resort
Temptation Cancun Resort is a distinctively adult-oriented, all-inclusive resort in Cancun’s hotel zone. This beachfront property, specifically designed for guests over 21, offers a unique “playground for grown-ups” vibe that encourages a fun, free-spirited, and slightly provocative atmosphere. However, unlike full naturist resorts, Temptation Cancun maintains a “topless-optional” policy rather than a fully clothing-optional environment.
Temptation Cancun Resort boasts an exciting array of activities and entertainment. There are vibrant, themed parties, live music, DJ-driven pool parties, and sensual performances designed to entertain and delight guests. The resort’s “PlayMakers” engages guests in various fun games and events throughout the day and night.
The resort offers plenty of spaces to relax and enjoy the Cancun sun. Its focal point is the “Sexy Pool,” an immense, curved swimming pool that’s the heart of the action during the day. Here, topless sunbathing is encouraged, and the atmosphere is lively and energetic. There’s the “Quiet Pool,” a peaceful oasis away from the main buzz for those seeking more tranquillity.
Fitness and wellness are also catered for, with a fully equipped gym and a spa providing a range of treatments and services for an additional fee.
Getting there
One of the simplest ways to reach the resort is by taking a taxi or arranging a private transfer from the airport. You can also rent a car. Head to Kukulcan Boulevard, which is the main road that traverses the hotel zone in Cancun. Temptation Cancun Resort is situated at Kilometer marker 3.5 on this boulevard.
Finally, always remember that while these resorts provide a unique vacation experience, they may not be for everyone. It’s always advisable to research and choose a destination that suits your preferences and comfort level. With the right choice, you will indeed have an unforgettable vacation experience in Cancun. Safe travels!
