 Naturism
is the simplest form of living and being in harmony with nature.
This free-body society requires one to continuously take care of
the relationship and well-balanced coexistence with nature and nudism.
The respect to nudism in a natural surroundings raises the responsibility
towards one’s self, other people and in the end the whole milieu.
Croatia was actually among the first European country to open its
borders to naturist centres and naturists as early as in 1953.
The feeling of welfare, freedom and the opinions
associated with enlightening the knowledge of one’s body are particular
brought to perfection in the natural retreat of Croatia, located
in the most beautiful areas, perfectly placed in nature and well
developed, spreading from Savudrija to Dubrovnik.
 In
search of commitments and challenges in the natural art of living,
naturism believers are a bit more demanding than normal tourists.
They look and expect far higher quality of basic tourist service
in the naturist centres. To live together naked in a resort does
not just involve naturist membership, it does also imply the understanding
of the elements as sun, air and water. The best way to experience
a holiday in a natural setting and environment is achieved by physical
and mental balance done in sports, healthy eating and the development
of creativity.
A life philosophy as this requires specially adapted
centres together with total tranquillity, faultless hygiene and
up to standard tourists services. The so-called “free nudist beaches”
have not been registered as such and at the moment are considered
free bathing areas, being partly under the control of local Tourism
Associations, and nude sunbathing on these is " tolerated "
and hardly ever forbidden.
