Two Naked Weeks in Bali
In April 2024, we arrived in Bali with plans for two clothing-optional weeks: a small gay men’s guesthouse in the south, an oceanfront resort in the north and a secluded countryside retreat. This diary entry captures our arrival and plans for the trip. For details from the stays themselves, follow the individual hotel reviews below.
The stays from this trip: Sunclad / Laki Uma Villa in Kuta, Bali au Naturel in Bondalem, and Bali Natur near Lovina.
Time to warm up and ‘drop trou(sers)’ — shed our clothes. But first we had to get here.
We survived Scoot Airlines from Osaka, Japan to Bali, Indonesia (with a surprisingly fun and restful 20 hour layover in one of our favorites — Singapore). But we’ve decided no more budget airlines on any flights over four hours! Osaka to Singapore was six and a half hours packed like sardines. We paid for just adequate extra legroom but the inadequate width of the seat, and wall-to-wall blessed humanity, was a challenge. Thankfully, the Singapore to Bali leg was mostly empty in the ‘extra legroom’ section! For that second less than three hour leg we felt like jetsetters. And we somehow paid less than $300 each, including 50kg luggage, extra seats, priority boarding and four meals for the entire trip. Not bad! If only we weren’t such big people!
We’ll be in Indonesia the full 30 days permitted per our e-visa. The first two weeks on Bali we’ll enjoy three naked (clothing-optional) spots. This is our Naturale Tour, after all. The first one is a small gay men’s guesthouse for three nights in the big city of Denpasar/Seminyak/Kuta (can’t tell where one ends and the others begin!). We’ll find a good massage and great restaurants. Paul’s got a chiropractor’s appointment already. Whoohoo! Our second spot is a week at a gay-owned, straight-friendly resort in a northern coastal resort area. And lastly, we’ll enjoy complete seclusion at a small, woman-owned naturist countryside retreat with sweeping hillside views to the ocean. Drop trou!
