Winter sun getaways 2026-2027: lifestyle and naturist resorts compared

Between December and March many couples look for sun, and the lifestyle and naturist scene offers several options that are very different from one another. This guide compares four places we reviewed on their official websites (checked on 7 November 2026), with dates and conditions that you should confirm before booking. We include no prices that a website does not publish, and we have not stayed at any of them.

Four options, four atmospheres

• Hedonism II (Negril, Jamaica). Adults-only, lifestyle-friendly, clothing-optional resort. Its calendar lists themed weeks almost every week from November 2026 to October 2027, with organised groups. From 17 to 26 December it holds the Reunion Daze and from 26 December to 2 January its New Year's Eve gala. It is the most social option.
• Caliente (Land O' Lakes, Florida). A private clothing-optional club for guests aged 21 and over, with a hotel, condos and casitas. You must be a member to visit or stay; for long winter stays it offers "snowbird" memberships for out-of-state residents, valid for up to six consecutive months, which cannot start before 1 September and expire on 30 April. A background check is charged separately.
• Temptation Cancun Resort (Mexico). Its entertainment page showed, on the date we checked, pool parties on 11 and 18 November and 26 November 2026, plus weekly pool parties and theme nights, with no December dates published. Ask the resort about holiday parties.
• Costa Natura (Estepona, Spain). A family-friendly naturist resort, not a swinger resort, with a pool heated to 30 degrees open all year according to its website, apartments with terraces and a restaurant. It is the calmest option and the only one also aimed at families.

How to choose

1. Atmosphere. If you want parties and people, Jamaica or Cancún. If you want calm and naturism without a club atmosphere, Estepona. Florida sits in between and requires membership.
2. Length. For two or three weeks, Caliente's snowbird memberships may pay off against paying per day; for one week, Hedonism II sells week-long stays.
3. Budget. The Hedonism II and Caliente websites give concrete figures for some options (for example, the Reunion Daze from 250 dollars per person per night in double occupancy, or Caliente's annual memberships); for Costa Natura and Temptation, ask for rates.
4. Dates. Christmas and New Year are high season: book ahead.

What to bring and what to check

• Documents. A valid passport and, in Florida, official ID or a passport for the membership, which requires age 21 or over.
• Rules. Read each place's rules on clothing, photography and phones. Caliente prohibits photography and video recording.
• Sun protection and health. The Caribbean and Florida sun is strong; in Estepona, check the forecast before you go, because in winter sun, rain and wind can alternate.
• Travel insurance. Take out one that covers the destination and the dates.

If you can choose only one

For a first time with parties, a resort such as Hedonism II works through its themed weeks; for a long, quiet winter, Costa Natura or a snowbird membership; for a short getaway near home in North America, Caliente.
