Costa Natura was the very first purpose-built naturist resort in Spain and is located on the Costa del Sol near Estepona.
Starting life in the 1970’s Costa Natura is a gated naturist village, very much the same as Vera Playa on the Costa Almeria, just a little smaller which is perfect for privacy.
Spain’s beaches all cater for nudity but this beach resort is reserved for naturalists. Costa Natura is in fact also one of the top ten naturist resorts in Europe.
