What is Naturism?

Discover the liberating world of naturism, where nudity goes hand in hand with harmony with nature, others and yourself. There are about 2 million people in the Netherlands who regularly leave their clothes behind to enjoy the sun, fresh air and warmth. Whether in the sauna, on a nude beach, in nature or simply in one's own backyard; naturism offers a unique way to get in touch with the elements.

Yet the step to a vacation at a campground or bungalow park, where nude recreation is possible, seems very big. Unjustifiably so, because there too it is about enjoying naked sunbathing, swimming or enjoying the heat in the sauna. Of course, naturism is not for everyone, but there are plenty of reasons to give it a try.

Flevo Natuur, a beautiful naturist park, is the perfect place to experience this lifestyle. Enjoy beautiful swimming pools, relax in the saunas and pamper your taste buds in our excellent restaurant. Book your naturist vacation at Flevo Natuur today.

The Benefits of Naturism

Naturism goes beyond nudity; it embraces the "natural" aspect, feeling at one with the environment. Naturists are environmentally conscious, clean up their own mess and behave respectfully. Flevo Natuur, located in a lush forest with Lake Veluwe around the corner and a nearby nude beach, provides an ideal setting for this connection with nature.

Everyone is equal

Naturism creates an environment where everyone is equal. Being naked reduces the differences between people, making rapprochement with others easier. A convivial atmosphere prevails, conversations start easily. Naturists usually feel good about themselves, cherishing their bodies and letting go of daily worries. Within the limits of respect for others, you have the freedom to be who you are.

It is easy

Once introduced to naturism, you quickly notice the benefits. No more uncomfortable, wet swimwear and awkward changing cubicles. Going on vacation to a naturist campsite also means less packing stress. Flevo Natuur offers this effortless lifestyle and place where you discover the benefits of nudity.

Misconceptions and Taboos About Naturism

Naturism has some misconceptions, especially regarding sexual associations. While some nude beaches attract negative attention, naturism is about respect, self-acceptance and a healthy lifestyle. The association between nudity and sex disappears very quickly when you experience it. As the saying, "Naked kills" also suggests. So does that mean nothing happens at all between the sheets? Surely we should hope not, because it is healthy for everyone.
