A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

About ChiZme

ChiZme is Zipolite's little gay bar, a block back from Avenida Roca Blanca. The name is a play on chisme, Spanish for gossip, which tells you most of what you need to know about the room. It's gay-owned and welcomes everyone, but the crowd is mostly men, and the drinks run to mezcal, martinis and negronis. It's open evenings in high season, so start here rather than end here. After 8pm it's a naked bar: clothes come off, or you head somewhere else. The rules can shift in low season, so check before you go.

Naturist Holidays in Mexico: Zipolite, Resorts & Clothing-Optional Beaches

 https://capdagdefrance.co.uk/naturist-holidays-mexico/


Last Updated on November 9, 2026

For a naturist holiday in Mexico, I would start with Zipolite. It is the country’s best-known nude-beach destination, while the Riviera Maya offers a very different choice of private au-naturel and clothing-optional resorts.

You do not have to go looking very hard for naturism in Zipolite. It is part of the place. Oaxaca Tourism promotes the beach as a nudist destination, and visitors will see that reflected in the hotels, beach bars, and general atmosphere around town.

France has Cap d’Agde. Spain has places such as Vera Playa and the Canary Islands; Croatia has a long tradition of FKK campsites and resorts, while Germany has its own well-established culture of communal nudity.

Mexico does not have an equivalent nationwide network of naturist beaches, campsites and holiday villages, but Zipolite is a fantastic option located on the Pacific coast.

Zipolite offers the closest thing to a genuine naturist beach destination, with hotels, guesthouses, restaurants and beach bars clustered around a beach where nudity is an accepted part of everyday life.

You can also go across to Mexico’s Caribbean coast for a quite different experience, around the Riviera Maya, where you will find several upscale resorts with naturist areas and an adults-only, clothing-optional policy.

Some examples include Desire Riviera Maya, which is a couples-only and clothing-optional resort, with designated areas where guests can go au naturel.

If you are looking for a relaxed naturist beach holiday, then Zipolite is a great option. If you prefer a luxury hotel stay with clothing-optional options, then a resort near Cancún or the Riviera Maya might be the best option for you.

Where Are the Best Naturist Places in Mexico?

Zipolite is arguably the best all-round naturist destination in Mexico if you want a public nude beach and an independent and affordable holiday. Hidden Beach is the stronger choice for a more luxury-style naturist resort, while Desire Riviera Maya is perhaps the best choice for couples and those looking for a more adult lifestyle experience.

Is Naturism Legal in Mexico?

Naturism is not acceptable on most beaches in Mexico, but it is permitted in specific locations. The main options are:

  • Zipolite and its recognised naturist areas.
  • Private naturist/clothing-optional accommodation.
  • Designated clothing-optional areas within specialist resorts.

1. Zipolite – Mexico’s Naturist Capital

If you want to focus on one location in Mexico for a nudist beach, my favourite is the Pacific coast of Oaxaca, close to Puerto Ángel and not far from Mazunte.

Zipolite is also recognised by Oaxaca’s tourism authorities as the state’s best-known naturist beach destination. You can read the official Oaxaca Tourism information for Zipolite.

The main beach is approximately 1.5 kilometres long, and unlike a specialist hotel, you don’t have to pay admission or book a particular property simply to experience naturism.

What Is Zipolite Actually Like?

If you have ever been to Cap d’Agde, the gated naturist village, Zipolite is quite different. Zipolite does not have giant apartment complexes, supermarkets, a marina, and dozens of clubs enclosed behind a security barrier.

It is a small Mexican Pacific beach town with beach restaurants, small hotels, independent guesthouses, bars, surfers, and backpackers.

Is the Whole Zipolite Beach Nude?

Naturism is accepted along the main beach, although nudity is optional, so you will see clothed people too.

That is part of Zipolite’s character in that, as a first-time naturist, nobody pressures you to undress, as nobody particularly cares when you do.

Playa del Amor – The Smaller Naturist Cove

At one end of the main Zipolite area you’ll find Playa del Amor. It is a much smaller cove reached by a short but relatively steep footpath over the headland. This is a quieter beach where naturism is particularly welcome. The walk from the main beach takes around 10–15 minutes

One Warning: Respect the Pacific

Zipolite is beautiful, but the sea can also be dangerous because this open-ocean beach is known for strong waves and currents.

Even if you are a strong swimmer, don’t treat a large Pacific swell as part of the naturist adventure; this is a location where caution is needed, given the strong currents and common red-flag conditions.

Zipolite Nudist Festival / Encuentro Nudista

Zipolite also hosts Mexico’s major annual nudist gathering, and this is a great time to come here if you are interested in meeting lots of new people socially.

The festival normally takes place in January to February and features workshops, music, yoga, and other activities, with 5000+ visitors.

Learn more here about the Nudist festival.

Where Should You Stay in Zipolite?

There are dozens of accommodation options across Zipolite, ranging from small guesthouses and cabins to more polished boutique hotels. There are more than 50 accommodation options, and in terms of being naturist-friendly, several stand out.

Nude Zipolite (Clothing Optional With Beach Access)

Nude Zipolite is one of the best-known specialist properties in the town, and it is:

  • adults-only and clothing optional.
  • two pools
  • beach club
  • restaurant and bar
  • spa
  • The beach club is also clothing-optional and offers day passes.

Casa Nudista (Nudity Is Not Optional)

Casa Nudista takes a different approach in that it is a 100% nudist, adults-only property, LGBT-oriented and hetero-friendly, and sits roughly 70 metres from the beach.

Nudity is compulsory, making it a great option if you are looking for a fully nude social environment rather than somewhere where half the guests remain dressed.

Facilities include a pool and a central social/bar area, and Casa Nudista hosts a weekly 100% nude pool party.

I’d consider Casa Nudista if you are a:

  • naturists
  • LGBTQ+ travellers
  • gay visitors
  • social visitors
  • and comfortable with clear rules around nudity.

Find Accommodation in Zipolite

You do not need to stay in a specialist nudist hotel to enjoy Zipolite.

Staying anywhere along the beach or around Roca Blanca gives you easy access to Mexico’s best-known naturist destination.

Affiliate link – no extra cost to you.

How Do You Get to Zipolite?

The two most useful coastal airports are generally:

  • Huatulco
  • and Puerto Escondido.

Local Zipolite visitor information currently describes Huatulco as approximately 50 minutes away by onward transfer, while Puerto Escondido can also be reached along the coast.

From Oaxaca City, the road journey is several hours.

The journey from Oaxaca City takes around five to six hours, although it depends on road conditions and the weather.

For general destination and travel information, you can also check Visit Mexico’s Zipolite destination information.

Best Time to Visit Zipolite

I would choose:

November to May – This is the dry season, with clearer skies and typical daytime temperatures broadly around 25–30°C.

June to October – This is generally the wetter period, with higher humidity and heavier rain.

That doesn’t mean Zipolite closes, but it does normally mean fewer visitors, lower accommodation prices, and a much quieter beach.

If you are somebody flying a long way specifically to spend time outdoors without clothes, I’d favour the dry season.

2. Hidden Beach Au Naturel Resort – The Luxury Naturist Option

Now we move from the Pacific coast to the Riviera Maya on Mexico’s Caribbean side for a completely different holiday.

Hidden Beach Au Naturel Resort is in the Kantenah/Puerto Aventuras area south of Cancún.

This is an adults-only au-naturel resort, with only 40+ rooms plus a presidential suite, all facing the Caribbean.

To give you a flavour of what to expect, think in terms of:

  • small
  • upmarket
  • private
  • all-inclusive-style resort experience.

This is versus a much more bohemian-style beach town like Zipolite.

What Makes Hidden Beach Different?

This is a specialist resort built around a naturist experience rather than a conventional hotel next to a nude beach.

Expect privacy, personalised service, beachfront accommodation and outdoor dining in the au-naturel environment.

Facilities include:

  • restaurant
  • beach grill
  • bar
  • swim-up bar
  • pool
  • and oceanfront accommodation.

This is much closer to the classic luxury Caribbean naturist-resort model.

Is Hidden Beach a Lifestyle Resort?

I would distinguish it quite carefully from Desire. Hidden Beach is marketed around au-naturel relaxation and privacy, rather than couples’ erotic/lifestyle activities.

If you’re a traditional naturist who likes luxury but has no interest in the lifestyle scene, Hidden Beach is the Mexican Caribbean property I would investigate first.

Who Is Hidden Beach Best For?

I would recommend Hidden Beach as a good location for all of the following:

  • couples
  • traditional naturists
  • first-time luxury naturists
  • people who prefer a contained resort
  • visitors who don’t want the bohemian feel of Zipolite

Hidden Beach Prices

Hidden Beach is one of the more expensive naturist options in Mexico. Check the resort’s latest rates for your dates.

3. Intima Resort Tulum – Clothing Optional Without the Beach-Resort Feel

Intima Resort Tulum gives you another great option for a different type of experience.

It is an adults-only, clothing-optional resort in Tulum, so you do not have to be nude and may wear as much or as little as you like.

This might be especially interesting and appealing to you if you are:

  • first-timers
  • mixed-comfort couples
  • or a visitor looking to combine naturism with Tulum rather than stay entirely within a beachfront nudist property.

Is Intima on the Beach?

No, and this is an important distinction from Hidden Beach or Zipolite.

Intima is more about:

  • poolside social nudity
  • apartment/resort living
  • and proximity to Tulum’s restaurants, shops, and attractions.

You can normally get taxis into town to visit the restaurants, shops, and other services nearby.

So I wouldn’t book Intima because you want to walk nude directly from your room onto a long naturist beach.

Book it because you want a clothing-optional base for a Tulum holiday.

Is Intima a Lifestyle Resort?

The resort presents itself as a clothing-optional adult property rather than framing the whole experience around a swingers/lifestyle concept.

You could say that it provides a good middle ground between:

traditional naturism and Mexico’s more openly sensual couples-only resorts.

4. Playa Sonrisa – The Remote Caribbean Option

If your idea of paradise involves getting away from virtually everybody, have a look at Playa Sonrisa.

This is in the Costa Maya / Xcalak area, far from the huge resort concentrations around Cancún.

The property describes itself as a remote, eco-friendly, clothing-optional paradise for adult couples, and the atmosphere is almost the opposite of Desire.

You will not find a nightclub, big crowds, jet skis, or mass tourism. This is a much quieter venue.

What Does Clothing Optional Mean at Playa Sonrisa?

This is a clothing-optional resort, so you decide how comfortable you are stripping off.

The resort specifically says many guests choose to sunbathe fully nude, while the uncrowded setting can help newcomers ease into social nudity.

If you are interested in naturism but have yet to try, this can be a great option.

What Is Playa Sonrisa Like?

The property is largely off-grid and powered by solar energy, and it currently offers:

  • beachfront accommodation
  • restaurant/bar
  • snorkelling, diving, kayaking, and paddleboarding

For some visitors, this is the ideal location to relax, whereas for others it can be too quiet.

5. Desire Riviera Maya – Clothing Optional, Couples Only and Very Different

There are some resorts where naturism and adult lifestyle travel overlap, and one such resort is the well-known Desire Riviera Maya Resort, near Puerto Morelos.

  • couples-only
  • all-inclusive
  • has clothing-optional areas
  • a place offering adult-oriented experiences.

What Is Clothing Optional at Desire?

The nudist areas include:

  • the pool
  • the beach
  • Jacuzzi Lounge
  • and the Private Couples’ Lounge
  • Clothing is required in restaurants, the lobby, and certain other indoor areas.

You are not necessarily nude everywhere from breakfast to bedtime such as you can be in Cap d’Agde but it is nonetheless a great resort.

Is Desire a Swingers Resort?

Desire itself says it is swinger-friendly, while emphasising that participation is optional and boundaries must be respected.

The resort also runs theme nights, pool parties, and adults-only couples’ entertainment.

Desire Pearl Riviera Maya

There is also Desire Pearl, another couples-only property near Puerto Morelos. It has:

  • clothing-optional pool and beach areas
  • all-inclusive facilities
  • and adult couples-only spaces.

Desire has both Desire Riviera Maya and Desire Pearl Riviera Maya as its two Mexican couples-only resorts.

Who Should Choose Desire?

I’d look at Desire if:

  • you are travelling as a couple
  • you specifically want an adult atmosphere
  • you enjoy theme nights and entertainment
  • clothing-optional areas appeal
  • are comfortable staying somewhere openly lifestyle-friendly.

If what you actually want is:

  • quiet nude swimming
  • reading
  • social naturism
  • and no sexualised environment

then Hidden Beach or Zipolite is probably a better fit.

Zipolite or Riviera Maya – Which Is Better?

They are both really quite different.

Choose Zipolite if you want:

  • a real beach town
  • Mexican/Oaxacan character
  • independent hotels
  • restaurants
  • an openly recognised public nude beach
  • lower-cost accommodation choices
  • and a less packaged holiday.

Choose Riviera Maya if you want:

  • a private resort
  • Caribbean rather than Pacific beaches
  • all-inclusive options
  • higher-end accommodation
  • Cancún Airport access
  • and the choice between traditional au-naturel and adults-only lifestyle concepts.

How Does Mexico Compare With Other Naturist Destinations?

Zipolite vs Cap d’Agde

Again, they’re completely different.

Cap d’Agde is:

  • gated and large
  • highly organised
  • Mediterranean
  • full of apartments
  • shops, bars, clubs, restaurants all inside the naturist resort
  • a marina
  • a huge campsite
  • and a dedicated naturist beach
  • You can spend weeks inside without really leaving.

Zipolite

Zipolite is:

  • open and small
  • Mexican
  • Pacific
  • more bohemian
  • cheaper in many respects
  • less organised

Naturism feels like part of the town’s personality rather than an entire enclosed resort infrastructure.

If Cap feels like a naturist town, Zipolite feels more like a beach town where naturism happens to be completely normal.

If you are considering France as well, see my full Cap d’Agde Naturist Village guide.

Mexico vs Florida for Naturism

If you are considering Florida and Mexico, then to give you some thoughts:

Florida

Better for:

  • recognised US clothing-optional beaches
  • traditional US nudist resorts
  • Miami + Haulover
  • Orlando + Cypress Cove.

Mexico

Better for:

  • warm Pacific/Caribbean destination travel
  • Zipolite’s beach-town culture
  • luxury all-inclusive au-naturel accommodation
  • resorts designed specifically for adult couples
  • and Oaxacan culture.

For a British or European traveller wanting something unusual, Mexico arguably feels more like a destination holiday in its own right.

Mexico vs the Canary Islands

Canary Islands

Advantages:

  • shorter flight from Europe
  • European infrastructure
  • easy winter sun
  • lots of naturist beaches
  • no long-haul trip.

Mexico

Advantages:

  • warmer tropical feel
  • different culture
  • Zipolite
  • all-inclusive Caribbean resorts
  • larger sense of adventure.

A naturist in Britain looking for one easy January week may choose Gran Canaria.

Someone looking for two weeks somewhere completely different may choose Mexico.

When Is the Best Time for a Naturist Holiday in Mexico?

This really depends on which coast you choose.

Zipolite / Oaxaca Pacific Coast

Generally, I would suggest November to May because it’s the drier season. January and February are particularly attractive for northern Europeans. Mexico, in other words, is a great wintertime naturist location for European visitors.

February also tends to coincide with the annual nudist gathering when scheduled around its traditional period.

Riviera Maya

The Caribbean side works year-round, although seasonal rainfall, heat, and tropical-weather risks vary.

For most European visitors seeking winter sun, December through April tends to be the obvious planning window.

Hurricane Season Matters on the Caribbean Side

This is another consideration if considering Zipolite and the Riviera Maya.

The Yucatán/Caribbean region can be affected during the Atlantic hurricane season, and this is from the start of June through to the end of November.

That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t travel because millions of people still do. Do, though, consider any implications in terms of having the right travel insurance policies, and just be aware that hurricanes can occur during this period.

Planning a Naturist Holiday in Mexico

Do You Need a Car?

Zipolite – Not really, because once you’re in Zipolite, the town and beach are extremely walkable. Local taxis and shared transport can also take you to nearby places, including:

  • Mazunte;
  • San Agustinillo;
  • Puerto Ángel;
  • and Pochutla.

For most one-week Zipolite holidays, I wouldn’t bother with a rental car.

Riviera Maya – Again, not necessarily. If you’re spending seven days inside Hidden Beach, Desire, or another all-inclusive resort, then you’re probably better off with a pre-booked airport transfer, which may make far more sense.

If you’re planning a place such as Tulum, Cenotes, Mayan archaeological sites, or take on a Yucatán road trip as well, then a car becomes more useful.

A Good 10-Day Zipolite Naturist Holiday

The best way to experience Zipolite is to take it fairly easy and allow enough time to relax and chill. With this in mind, for a 10-day trip, this is the type of schedule I would recommend.

Days 1–3: Find your bearings by walking the full main beach, and enjoy walking the nude beach in whatever attire or not that you wish to. Try out a few of the local restaurants, and experience the stunning sunsets.

Day 4: Walk to Playa del Amor and stay there for the afternoon. Come back around sunset.

Day 5: Visit nearby Mazunte or San Agustinillo, just a Mexico’s tourism information lists Mazunte just a few kilometres from Zipolite.

Day 6: Relax for a day on Zipolite beach.

Day 7: Take a day trip to Puerto Ángel or a boat/nature excursion.

Days 8–10: Do more of what you have enjoyed the most

Combining Zipolite and the Riviera Maya

Mexico is a large country, and with Zipolite and the Riviera Maya quite a distance apart, I would recommend a 2- or 3-week trip if you want to do both.

You can, for example, spend one week in the bohemian-style resort of Zipolite, and then enjoy one week at a Caribbean coast resort.

Planning a Mexico Naturist Holiday?

For Zipolite, Tulum and the conventional parts of a wider Mexico trip, compare accommodation before fixing your itinerary.

Compare hotels and apartments around Zipolite, Tulum and the Riviera Maya.

Affiliate link – no extra cost to you.

What Does a Mexico Naturist Holiday Cost?

Prices really vary greatly because things range from backpacker naturist hostels on the beach in Zipolite through to high-end clothing-optional resorts that are all-inclusive – such as Hidden Beach.

Zipolite Can Be the Budget Option

The town offers:

  • guesthouses
  • small hotels
  • boutique properties
  • and more specialist nudist accommodation.

You can eat in local restaurants rather than paying an all-inclusive resort rate, and the main naturist attraction—the beach—is simply there. That can make Zipolite excellent value compared with private resorts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Naturism in Mexico

Where is Zipolite?

Zipolite is on the Pacific coast of Oaxaca in southern Mexico, close to Puerto Ángel and Mazunte. The main beach is approximately 1.5 kilometres long.

Do you have to be naked in Zipolite?

No. Naturism is accepted, but nudity is optional. Festival guidance likewise explicitly states that naturism is optional.

What is Playa del Amor?

Playa del Amor is a smaller cove adjoining the main Zipolite area, reached via a footpath over the headland. It is particularly associated with naturism and sunset visits.

Is Zipolite safe for swimming?

The beach can have strong waves and currents, so visitors should obey lifeguards and beach warning flags. Oaxaca civil protection has specifically warned visitors about dangerous currents along this coastline.

What is the best nudist hotel in Zipolite?

It depends on the experience you want. Nude Zipolite is adults-only and clothing-optional with pools, a beach club and restaurant, while Casa Nudista operates as a 100% nudist adults-only property.

What is the best luxury naturist resort in Mexico?

Hidden Beach Au Naturel Resort on the Riviera Maya is probably the strongest option for visitors looking for a small, private, adults-only luxury au-naturel property rather than a lifestyle resort. It currently has 42 rooms plus a presidential suite.

Is Hidden Beach a swingers resort?

The operator markets Hidden Beach around au-naturel relaxation and privacy, and its published rules prohibit explicit sexual behaviour in public areas. That makes it quite different in concept from explicitly swinger-friendly properties such as Desire.

Is Desire Riviera Maya a naturist resort?

It has designated clothing-optional areas, including pools and beach areas, but its concept is couples-only and openly adult/lifestyle-oriented. It should therefore be understood as a clothing-optional couples resort rather than a traditional naturist resort.

Is Tulum good for naturists?

Tulum does not offer a Zipolite-style recognised public naturist beach, but Intima Resort Tulum provides adults-only clothing-optional accommodation, making Tulum possible as a broader holiday with a naturist base.

What is Playa Sonrisa?

Playa Sonrisa is a remote adult-couples clothing-optional property on Mexico’s Caribbean coast near Xcalak/Costa Maya. It focuses on peace, nature, beach activities, and a largely off-grid environment.
