Many of the resorts in Palm Springs offer a clothing-optional approach as the climate in the desert is well-suited for walking around in the nude.

And due to Palm Springs' location, most properties are nestled in the mountains and are fenced in for greater privacy.

If perusing hotel websites, you might come across the terms nudist and naturist, which indicate whether a resort is clothing-optional.

Most Palm Springs resort pools don't require a swimsuit, and at some, clothing is optional throughout the entire property.

Sadly, some of the clothing-optional resorts have shuttered within the last few years.

But many remain and welcome visitors from around the world.

Depending upon the type of vacation you're seeking, it's important to research each clothing-optional resort in Palm Springs to find the perfect fit and to ensure you know exactly what you can expect upon arrival.

For example, the Tuscany Manor is a lifestyle-friendly resort open to couples and singles ages 21 and over.
