Our guide to the very best of naked bathing around the world.
Getting naked is not in everyone’s skillset. We are awkward in the high school locker room, awkward in the gym changing room, and even awkward on the beach in swimwear. But you never know when, in this great age of travel, an opportunity to challenge yourself and your deep-seated instinct to cover your privates will arrive. Whether you have an interest in wellness and self-care or the drive to experience local culture to the max, some of the best bathing escapades in the world require you to go naked. We thoroughly recommend you get over your qualms and go for it. There’s really nothing like being naked amongst hundreds of other naked people to recalibrate your body acceptance, remind yourself we’ve all got bumps, and realize that no one is looking anyway. And if they are looking, rise above it with your mind and your eyes, as you’ll never see these people again. You wouldn’t want to miss out on any of these steam dreams, now would you?
