Nice 'n Natural

A naturist holiday near Malaga, Costa del Sol, Spain.

We first met Carl and Alison in August 2001 when we were all holidaying at Peyraille in France. They were at that time thinking of opening a similar venture in the Malaga, Spain area where the weather was a bit more reliable and where they had both been resident for many years. We had all found Peyraille to be somewhat disappointing, the idea was to do something smaller but better.

The result is Casa Carolina, trading as Nice 'n Natural. Not quite finished when we visited in June 2005 Carl was busy making the final touches so there was still a little evidence of building work about. Not that it spoiled our holiday one little bit, taking time out from his labours Carl looked after us admirably throughout....fully inclusive meaning precisely that.

We travelled Monarch Scheduled from Birmingham to Malaga, arriving the best part of half an hour early. This didn't throw Carl who was there to meet us as arranged. Casa Carolina is about 10 miles inland from the airport, a 20 minute or so drive. Early in the season we were the only guests staying there and so had the spacious and very well equipped self-catering unit for our use. Very comfortable it was too.

That first day set the tone for much of the holiday, we needed to relax, to space out and get a suntan! We went about doing just that. The pool was delightful, warm and yet a cooling oasis from the hot, continuous sunshine. Fully enclosed the gardens have yet to mature but the whole area is screened off meaning that clothing is unnecessary throughout - the temperatures were such that clothing was simply not desirable anyway.

We had found Carl and Alison excellent and entertaining company when we first met them, we just sort of picked up where we left off in 2001. They really do enjoy entertaining guests and their house party atmosphere is a reality. There are no restrictive rules whatsoever - the aim is for you to have the holiday you want and not what someone tells you to have.

Out and about there are nude beaches within driving distance, as are the flesh pots and clubs of the Costa del Sol. Carl provided transport for trips to the beaches and the well known resorts, quite frankly we were happy to get back to the tranquillity of Casa Carolina. However unmissable for us were the Alora Lakes, about a half hour drive further inland...indeed well worth the visit.

We were looked after royally, there was a sadness at the end of our week - it had been too short and we knew that circumstances dictated that we would be unable to return again in 2005....roll on 2006!!!
