Naturism at Paya Bay Resort
At Paya Bay, we offer a unique naturist experience with a combination of Naturist Zones and Naturist Weeks, designed to cater to both dedicated naturists and casual guests. Our 16-acre property is divided into three distinct zones:
- Zone One: This area includes the restaurant and other public spaces, where minimal clothing (such as swimsuits or sarongs) is required.
- Zone Two: Featuring Bliss Beach, the Black Iguana beach bar, and the nature trails leading to the rooms, this is a clothing-optional area.
- Zone Three: A secluded 6-acre naturist zone, always dedicated to a clothing-free lifestyle.
The resort's calendar alternates between Naturist Weeks and Classical Weeks. During Naturist Weeks, both Zones Two and Three are available for naturism, providing a more fully naturist experience. During Classical Weeks, naturism is less emphasized, though Zone Three remains open for those wishing to practice naturism. Consult the resort calendar for exact dates.
Please note: Naturist participation is expected in Zone Three, while clothing is optional in Zone Two and required in Zone One.
Whether you are a casual naturist or seeking a fully clothing-free experience, Paya Bay Resort offers the flexibility and beauty to suit your preferences, all while providing a relaxing Caribbean getaway.

1 Reviews on “Paya Bay Resort”
One of our favorites places. We are probably biased though because it’s where we discovered naturism years ago. The accomodations are a bit rustic but the beds are super comfortable and the acreage is beautiful.
We have visited here twice now over the years. We spent 4 to 5 days each time. It is out in the boonies so don’t expect anything but some small corner stores within walking distance. It gets amazingly quiet after 8 so unless you are there with friends or make some friends to party with, there won’t be much to do but sit, relax and listen to the waves on shore.
Both times we stayed in the Cliffside rooms. As I mentioned, they are rustic but comfortable and the sounds of the waves crashing on shore at night lulled us to sleep. We spent most nights sitting on the patio overhanging the edge just talking. And mornings again enjoying coffee before breakfast.
The captain takes people out in thier boat a few times a week to some areas to naked snorkel. They can also arrange diving if you wish. The acreage itself is an amazing place. On non windy days, we spent our time on Bliss Beach. If it got to winding we would just walk nude to the other side of the peninsula and the water would be dead calm in the bay with no wind. There are various spots with hammocks and chairs all through the trails around the place to relax in private. The bar is near Bliss Beach and the friendly staff is happy to serve you on the beach or it’s just a short walk up to the bar.
The resort is considered clothing optional so expect to see some clothed, and some not. Although they nude weeks and nude months, we still saw some clothed people coming. The day trippers would come from the cruise ships and some were nude, some were not. The place was never overrun with too many people. The most we may have say in a day was 20 to 30 people.
We will definitely return again one day. Roatanis one of our favorite islands and the snorkeling is the best we have ever seen with easy access right from shore.
