naturism
Clothes-free living philosophy
Naturism is the practice of going nude in social settings, typically outdoors or at designated beaches, resorts, and clubs.
Practitioners emphasize body acceptance and connection with nature rather than sexuality.
The term is more common in Europe; Americans tend to say nudism.
The resort caters to naturism and requires guests to be clothing-free in common areas.
