The Naturist Resort of Vera Playa Spain

The Costa Almeria naturist resort of Vera Playa gets its name from the town of Vera, located a little inland from the resort, located in the autonomous region of Andalucia, Spain. One of the largest naturist resorts in Europe, it is unique in that there are no restrictions or barriers between it and the outside world. Naturism is embraced here, and a large majority (some 80%) of the properties on the resort are Spanish owned, showing that the Spanish themselves have accepted the naturist lifestyle that is encouraged in Vera Playa.

Attracting naturists from all over the world, Vera Playa has a fabulous sandy beach, which extends for around four kilometres on a section of Spain's most unspoilt coastline, between Villaricos and Puerto del Rey.

Vera Playa has its own Four Star Hotel, run by Playa Hoteles, the hotel offers 270 rooms, including studios and apartments. There also some camping facilities in Vera Playa and these are exclusively for naturists, and situated just behind the beach area.

Other facilities in Vera Playa include a good choice of bars and restaurants, supermarkets and shops, and evening entertainment. A dozen or so apartment complexes offer a large number of privately owned properties for rent, should this be your chosen form of accommodation.

Apart from enjoying the beach facilities and weather that Vera Playa enjoys, there are some interesting towns and villages that are well worth visiting during your stay in the resort. These include the town of Vera (from which Playa Vera gets its name), the attractive fishing village of Garrucha (famous for its fish restaurants), and the hilltop town of Mojacar with its many interesting historical buildings and charming old quarter to explore.
