Resort Experiences Cap d’Agde

Visitor Review – What to Expect on Arriving and First Impressions

I have just returned from Cap d’Agde where I spent two weeks with my partner and wanted to give you all my views on the experience.

I had been wanting to go to Cap d’Agde village since I first heard about it many years ago and it was all in all an enjoyable experience but you need to be prepared that this is not your ‘average’ naturist resort.

The accommodation is spread between apartments and villas and there is also a large campsite area with log cabins and free ground for bringing your own camper van and/or tent.

My Stay in an Apartment

The apartments are split into three areas but all in all, they essentially look the same, Port Ambonne, Port Nature, and Heliopolis.

All are white, concrete, buildings with large balconies, though the apartments themselves are pretty small and basic.

A major refit is called for but they do the job of providing safe, secure, clean accommodation.

Hotel Eve used to be the only hotel in the complex but has in recent years been joined by several new hotels such as Jardin Eden, Natureva Spa, and the Oz Inn Hotel.

The Beach and Walking Around

The beach is sandy, beautiful, wide, clean, with the lovely sea but very cold water even in late June.

It really is wonderful and is very shallow for a long way out.

There are areas of the beach which have a lifeguard presence also. The beach is split into three main areas, families nearest to the accommodation, then there is the couples area, then the gay area.

There is a good range of bars, clubs, shops, supermarkets, boutiques and a fine choice of restaurants.

The resort really caters to every type of visitor. If you are looking for a family holiday Cap D’adge can be a good choice.

Another alternative to Cap for families though may also be La Jenny.

The campground really caters to the real naturist, whilst the apartment areas sometimes seem to cater to more of a mix of naturists and couples also sometimes visiting Cap d’Agde for the nightlife.

There is a variety of shops ranging from a barbers shop, newsagents/souvenirs, several restaurants, bars, a couple of supermarkets, a few clothing shops, and a few saunas for adults. Additionally, there is a post office, petrol station, and more bars and cafes.

Getting Used to Wearing No Clothes

My wife and I prepared for the resort, by which I mean we went to a couple of naturist saunas in Amsterdam whilst we were there.

Getting used to being in the Art Deco sauna in Amsterdam was my wife’s first experience to be in the buff in front of so many strangers. At first, for the first two minutes, she was hesitant.

But she just decided to strip off and go for it and we’ve not looked back since.

So if either of you are worried about the naturist side of the resort, I suggest trying a naturist sauna first, in your home country. For those of you in the UK, for example, you might want to try Clover Spa.

So for us, we were already comfortable walking around without a stitch on.

Nonetheless, when you arrive at the beach and see thousands of naked bodies, it is simply one of the most surreal things you are ever likely to see. And it’s great. Pure freedom.

On the first day, we went to the O2 Bizoux bar overlooking the beach and enjoyed the view of the beach and the bronzed bodies.

Cap d’Agde is so unique and we both highly recommend it!
