No Shirt, No Problem: Adults-Only Hotels, Part 2
Island a la nude.
Last week, we brought you our picks for top adults-only hotel zones. Today we crank it up a notch to satisfy your (secret?) naturist jones with three destinations dedicated to the clothing-optional lifestyle. I know what you're thinking: Unshaven, hemp-loving hippies munching on tofu burgers, realigning their chakras, and sleeping in hammocks on the beach (Woody Harrelson, I'm talking to you).
Well, not so fast. At these swank, adults-only spots, the only realignment you'll feel is when the masseur fixes that nagging kink in your lumbar spine:
Southern California's Sea Mountain Resort is a posh retreat for couples and single females (sorry guys) where the main attraction is bathing in the mineral waters of the local hot springs. Yes, naked bathing. There's also naked suntanning, naked massage, naked parties...you get the idea.
Nearby in Desert Hot Springs, the Living Waters Spa focuses on the rejuvenating benefits of the (naked) spa experience: Massages, wraps, mineral baths, and complete (naked) tranquility (sorry, can't stop). This means no swingers or sex parties allowed. For that sort of thing, try one of the Hedonism resorts.
A bit further east, 7,400 miles to be exact, Boayan is a private island in the South China Sea where you can fulfill your Robinson Crusoe fantasy, loincloth and all. A stay here includes a villa, a staff of 5, all meals, and a traditional Philippine boat with captain. Perhaps Woody should rethink his 40-day fast and bring his nudity-loving ways to the far east.

So couples & single women & no (single) men. Ladies...I think your men are going to be asking for this vacation.

Apparently this rule does not apply at Living Waters Spa, however they do try to maintain a gender balance. So if you're thinking (naked) bachelor/bachelorette party, you might want to check availability in advance.

Living Waters is small and nice.
I am surprised you left out the nicest clothing optional resorts in Southern California which are located in Palm Springs, CA. Palm Springs is a world class vacation destination which Conde Nast has written about many times. Your readers will rather go to that great town with all the nice restaurants, activities, art galleries, etc.
The other nice clothing optional rsorts in palm Springs are Morningside Inn http://morningsideinn.com Terra Cotta Inn http://sunnyfun.com and Desert Shadows http://desertshadows.com
We are from Clearwater and love Palm Springs and their nudist resorts.

Thanks for the feedback hauloverluvr99. Actually, Desert Hot Springs is just a hop, skip, 'n' a jump away from Palm Springs. So guests can enjoy the town's offerings, then escape to the soothing desert waters. Ahhh...
Anyone else have a favorite clothing-optional locale?

Matthew Mcconaughey also spends half his time shirtless...wouldn't be surprised to see him go the extra mile and hang out at some of these places. No pun intended.

Matthew's goal seems to be shirtless drunkenness in as many regions as possible. Poor Nicaragua has recently gotten a taste of his antics:
