Naked Retreat appears to be about discovering new experiences, learning to de-stress and seeing oneself and the world around from a different perspective. Week-long workshops are held in various locations – recent ones have included the Dominican Republic, Portugal, Malta and Gozo. Is it naturism re-invented? Not really, just another variation.

We keep hearing more and more about the new Naturist Association of Thailand, and recently discovered the first edition of their full-colour free online magazine – NAT – that can be accessed here!

During late Spring 2008 Lifestyle Press Ltd, publisher of ‘The World’s Best Nude Beaches and Resorts’, conducted the largest ever holiday survey amongst UK naturists. The summary of findings from the online opinion poll are available here. The full results and press release are also available on the website.

A trading statement this week from Travelzest plc, owner of the UK’s largest naturist tour operator – Peng Travel – has reported strong sales of holidays in the buff which, following the introduction of a new website, are up 11% for the winter season (07/08).

In advance of a possible introduction to their programme in 2008, renowned naturist tour operator Peng Travel, have chartered a special pilot cruise around the Turkish coast in September (see last offer). The craft is the luxurious air-conditioned Tersane, a 7 cabin gulet with 4-man crew. Departing Fetiyhe on 3 September, the gulet will set sail for Kalkan, stopping at deserted beaches along the way. Life while alone at sea and on deserted beaches is nude but it will be necessary to cover up in port and in company. Ring Peng on 0845 345 8345 for more details.

We’re publishing our new world nude beach guide in June, and want to invite you to a unique launch event at the world-famous Eden Project in Cornwall.

The Eden Project is going naturist for the evening, in an event organised by Red Letter Days in association with British Naturism and Visit Britain. We will be on hand to sign copies of our new book.

The book is called ‘The World’s Best Nude Beaches and Resorts‘, and has around five times more listings than our previous top-selling guide Bare Beaches.

There is a naturist weekend taking place in the area too, called Nudefest 2007, organised by British Naturism.

Look forward to seeing you at the Eden Project and Nudefest 2007!
