Monte Marina

In colourful tropical gardens the family-run Monte Marina naturist apartment complex offers a good standard of accommodation in an enviable position above the clothes-optional beach. A half board package is available at the neighbouring sister hotel – the Marina Playa and for a ‘nearly naturist’ option we can offer rooms in the hotel with the facilities of the naturist pool and clothes-optional beach just nearby.

Location

Monte Marina is located on the Jandia Peninsula in the southernmost part of the island in the quiet village of Esquinzo. There are a few other apartment complexes, three restaurants and a supermarket nearby. A half-hourly public bus service gives access to Playa de Jandia with its duty-free shops and Morro Jable with more traditional bars and restaurants. The steady trade winds temper the heat and make Fuerteventura a paradise for windsurfers. Even in the winter, temperatures are in the 70’s.

The Beach

Monte Marina is built on the cliffs with 32km of sandy beach literally lying at its feet, about five minutes walk away. The width varies with the tides, and it is clothes-optional throughout. To the south, the Playa de Jandia is now overdeveloped and nudity is found only in a few clusters. To the north, the extensive Playa de Sotavento invites hours of nude walking on sand along romantic lagoons and the sea, which changes colour from blue and turquoise to almost white. In several places along the route are snack bars and sunloungers and umbrellas are for hire. Everywhere is safe for refreshing dips or longer swims in the sea.

Naturism at Monte Marina

Monte Marina apartments offer 24-hour nudity within the grounds. When leaving the apartments to go to the beach or to reception in the Hotel Marina Playa, guests must cover up.

Facilities

The newly refurbished (in 2009) naturist seawater pool and whirlpool is set in lush tropical gardens and surrounded by sunloungers and umbrellas. There is direct access to the pool from the terraces of the apartments on the ground floor. Beach towels are provided (deposit required).
In Monte Marina itself, facilities are limited to the pool, poolside sauna and table tennis.
In the neighbouring hotel, under the same management, is the part-time reception, coffee bar, TV lounge, restaurant, and a further (textile) seawater pool, heated and partly enclosed, with whirlpool, sunbathing terraces, small wellness centre and garden chess. We can make arrangements for half board at the hotel only if prebooked.
