Go natural in the Canaries
The 4-star Fuerteventura Princess has a fully-clothed policy so you don’t actually have to bare all in public – but for the more curious, there is the one dedicated naturist pool, or the clothes-optional beach nearby. From £629 pp (two sharing) including flights (Gatwick). Call Travelzest’s Peng Travel, tel: 0845 345 8345; www.pengtravel.co.uk.
