About Hotel Nude
Hotel Nude is a commercial, adults-only beachfront hotel on the bay at Zipolite, the Oaxaca beach town whose sands became Mexico's first legally recognised nude beach in 2016. It is widely described as the first hotel in town to run a clothing-optional policy, and it remains one of the best-known places to stay for nude travellers there. Rooms range from cheaper poolside rooms, which lack the sea breeze, to beachfront rooms and suites with balconies facing the ocean. The hotel has an outdoor pool with sun terrace, a restaurant serving Mexican and international dishes, a bar with service at the pool and on the sand, massage on request and free Wi-Fi. Its beach club has a DJ in the afternoons and evenings, which makes weekends lively, especially when Mexican visitors arrive. Guests may be nude around the pools and on the beach in front, where clothed and nude people mix, but clothing is expected inside the restaurant and bar. Guests must be over 18. The hotel is open all year, and the dry season from November to April is the most popular time to visit Zipolite.
Legal context & local rules
Nudity is lawful on Playa Zipolite, recognised as a nude beach by the San Pedro Pochutla authorities in 2016, and on the hotel's private grounds; the hotel requires clothing in its restaurant and bar.
Mexico has no federal nudity prohibition, but municipal and state laws vary. Tourist zones (Riviera Maya, Oaxaca) are more tolerant. The Mexican Naturist Federation (FMN) promotes naturism but faces legal ambiguity. Public nudity outside designated areas risks prosecution.
What’s here
Getting there and visiting
The hotel is on the beachfront in Zipolite, about an hour by road from Huatulco airport (taxis quoted at roughly MXN 600-1,000 in 2024). Free parking is available on site. It is an ordinary hotel open to anyone over 18: no naturist membership or INF card is needed. Book through the hotel's reservations email (reservaciones@nudezipolite.com) or through booking platforms such as Booking.com, which the hotel links to. Room rates vary by season and room type and were not published on the pages we could open, so check current prices when booking. Massages and spa treatments cost extra.
What visitors say
Visitors praise the beachfront setting, friendly bilingual staff and a relaxed, judgement-free atmosphere around the pool. Ocean-view rooms with balconies are recommended over poolside rooms, which are described as stuffier and in need of better mosquito netting. Lunch gets good marks while dinner is seen as overpriced. Weekdays are calm, but at weekends the DJ and Mexican day-trippers make it much louder, which some enjoy and others find intrusive. Some upper rooms pick up bar noise.

View all in Mexico →AZULIK Tulum
AZULIK is an adults-only eco-luxury hotel on the beach road south of Tulum town on the Riviera Maya, known for villas built in organic shapes from local wood and vines. Electricity and artificial light are deliberately limited, and Wi-Fi is restricted. It is not a naturist resort: it is a mainstream boutique hotel that has a reputation for tolerating nudity. A 2026 Mexican travel guide says nudity is allowed on its private beach and in designated spa areas, and booking listings describe the property as clothing optional, while the guide advises guests to wear light clothing in the restaurants. The hotel's own website does not mention nudity at all, so the policy is informal and may change. The group also runs AZULIK Uh May, a jungle arts centre inland. Tulum's coastal ruins and the Sian Ka'an biosphere reserve are nearby.

Hidden Beach Resort
Hidden Beach Resort Au Naturel is an adults-only, all-inclusive clothing-optional hotel run by Karisma Hotels on the Riviera Maya, at kilometre 95 of the Cancún-Tulum highway in Kantenah, between Puerto Aventuras and Akumal. It shares its gated grounds and entrance with Karisma's textile El Dorado Seaside Suites, and high walls and mangroves screen it from outside. All accommodation is in suites, each with a two-person hot tub and stocked minibar; ground-floor suites open onto the main pool and some have private swim-up pools. Facilities include a large pool with swim-up bar and volleyball net, a lounge with a small hot tub, a tennis court, a small gym, 24-hour room service and nightly entertainment. Dining is centred on one on-site restaurant, La Vista, and guests can use spa services at the neighbouring El Dorado property. Nudity is permitted in public areas and reviewers say most guests go nude for their whole stay; clothing is required in the gym and in El Dorado's facilities, guests must sit on towels, and photography rules are strict. The private beach is rocky and poor for swimming. Most guests are couples over 50, though singles are accepted.
Intima Resort Tulum
Intima Resort Tulum is an adults-only, clothing-optional hotel about a kilometre from the centre of Tulum on the Riviera Maya in Quintana Roo. Its main draw is a naturist atmosphere in the grounds, which hold an outdoor pool with a poolside bar, a hot tub, a garden and a terrace. Guides differ on the house rules: one says guests may be nude anywhere on the premises, while a more recent one says nudity is allowed in many outdoor areas and that shared indoor spaces may require swimwear or attire. Guests must be 18 or older to check in. Pets are not allowed, and there is free off-site parking but no parking on the property. Listings give the room count as 30 or 44, and star ratings as 2.5 or 3, so the details are not settled. A guest should confirm the current rules and room type with the resort before arriving.
Nayarit Small Beach
Nayarit Small Beach is a nudist-friendly beach in Mexico. Nudity is optional.
