Last checked Aug 2026
Costa Natura, on the Costa del Sol near Estepona, was Spain's first officially recognized naturist resort, opening in 1979, and it remains a small, family-oriented apartment-style community with its own naturist beach frontage. It's aimed at longer stays and repeat visitors rather than a party scene, with self-catering apartments as the primary accommodation type.
Know before you go
Costa Natura is a residential-style naturist community as much as a resort, so day-visitor access and amenities are more limited than at a larger holiday village — check current visitor policy before a same-day visit. Most accommodation is self-catering apartments, it operates year-round given Spain's mild coastal climate, and clothing is optional across the grounds and adjoining beach.
