Hedonism II & III

Be wicked for a week… stay up late! Give up counting calories… have a drink before noon! Give up mineral water… dine in shorts! Talk to strangers… don’t make your bed! Don’t call your mother… let your hair down! Don’t pay for anything… don’t leave a tip! Be your beautiful self… be a hedonist! At Hedonism – the pleasure comes in many forms.
Hedonism (‘the pursuit of pleasure as a way of life’) is the ultimate place for self-indulgent adults. Free spirits from around the world are attracted to Hedo’s liberal lifestyle and uninhibited ‘party’ atmosphere. Anything and everything goes, shocking and stimulating. Motto: If it feels good, do it!
A holiday at Hedo is not for those who shock easily, you can be as mild or as wild and exhibitionist as you like – it’s up to you.

Location

Hedonism II, affectionately referred to as Hedo, evolved in 1981 from the Negril Beach Village (which could be described as Hedo I). Hedonism II and III are well known in Britain as the stars of the TV series Pleasure Island and Caribbean Uncovered (however, there is a general strict ‘no photography’ rule.)
Stretched along the northern end of Negril’s fabulous seven mile beach, Hedonism II comprises two parts, one ‘prude’, the other ‘nude’, set in 22 acres of landscaped gardens with tropical plants and soaring guango, palm and fruit trees. There is even a small bird park with mainly native Jamaican birds – of the feathered variety! All facilities are available to all residents, but swimwear must be worn where facilities are located on the prude side.
Hedo II’s newer sister resort, Hedo III, was opened in 1998 on the northern coast of Jamaica. It has very similar facilities and atmosphere.

The Beach

At Hedonism II the small concrete pier divides the sandy beach into the nudist and the slightly larger ‘textile’ part. Each has a pontoon, 20 yards off the beach, and there are plenty of sun loungers and lilos. Secluded hammocks for two are available in various parts of the grounds. The far end of this fabulous nudist beach is the best place to watch the romantic sunset for which Negril is famous. Hedonism III has a man-made beach with similar facilities.

Naturism at Hedonism

Hedonism II and Hedonism III each has two distinct areas - the nude and the prude. The nude (naturist) area has accommodations, a naturist beach, pool, bar and sunbathing areas. Guests can remain nude within the naturist area day and night. All of the themed restaurants and entertainment can be found on the prude side where clothes are required.

Food & Drink

All food and drink is included in this holiday from early morning until late at night: Meals are usually taken buffet-style in the open-air Terrace Room, with hot breakfasts cooked to order. For main meals, choose from crisp fresh salads to gourmet desserts, and in between an excellent spread of international and Jamaican dishes. In the more intimate Italian-style Pastafari restaurant and the Japanese restaurant (casual-elegant clothing and advance booking required) meals are served à la carte. ‘Snack Attack’ is available 24 hours.
There are six bars, including a swim-up bar in the nude pool. Several bars on the beach have grills – if you cannot tear yourself away to eat in the main dining area at lunch time! International and local premium-brand spirits, tropical cocktails, wine, Red Stripe beer and, if you insist, even soft drinks are on tap for 19 hours day and night.
Try ‘Dirty Banana’ – crushed ice blended with half a banana, dark rum and coffee liqueur. Iced pina colada is available on the nude beach by self-service! There is also a soft drinks dispenser.

Facilities

There are a nude and a prude outdoor fresh-water swimming pool, a small prude and a large nude jacuzzi, a glass-bottom jacuzzi on the roof of the disco and a nude misting pool.

Activities

For land sports, choose from six floodlit tennis courts, volleyball, shuffleboard, basketball, badminton, and two air-conditioned squash courts. The fitness centre features Nautilus equipment, stationary bicycles, stair-climbing machine and free weights.
The games room has satellite TV, video games, pool and table tennis. There are bicycles, garden chess, a rock climbing wall, an ice skating rink, mini-golf, internet café and reggae dancing classes. Water sports include Sunfish sailboats, windsurfing, salt-water kayaks, snorkelling, scuba diving, water-skiing and glass-bottom boat rides. The dive shop offers equipment and tuition. All activities, including tuition, are free!

Entertainment

During the day, the large team of entertainers organise a wide range of competitions: volleyball, bocceball, aerobics, dirty-joke-telling and wet T-shirt contests (without T-shirts…), rum punch and beer drinking games, etc. Winners are rewarded with Hedo-Dollars which may be redeemed for prizes.
There is live entertainment in the evenings – floor shows, Jamaican bands and performers, themed parties, e.g. toga (sheets provided), pyjama (as bare as you dare) and reggae beach (wet, wild and wilder) parties. Alternatively, there is an air-conditioned piano bar, complete with laser karaoke equipment to let you show off your talent!
The famous disco, below the pool with see-through bottom, is equipped to the most modern standards and boasts its own long bar. It opens from 23:00 to 05:00 hrs. Bring the outfits which you bought at Cap d’Agde and which you dare not wear anywhere else!
Following a visit to the disco, many people tend to move to the nude jacuzzi for more private action. Learn strip poker in the nude!
