Our top 10 list of "au naturel" vacations ~ TripAdvisor rated

Hands up if you love TripAdvisor? GoGirlfriend isn't affiliated in any way, but we love them just the same. It's the gritty, honest reviews written by real people with real experiences that we love the most.

"For travelers, a great vacation is all about escaping," said Michele Perry, vice president of global communications for TripAdvisor. "For most that means escaping the confines of their homes, for others, it is best achieved by escaping the confines of their clothes."

A clothing optional resort isn't necessarily the same as a purist nudist resort that mandates nudity from the moment you check in. If you want to test clothing-optional, an adult-only resort is the perfect fit - pardon the pun. If you're a hard-core nudist, skip to the last resort on the list and get yourself to Orient Beach, St. Maarten.
