New South Wales hosts a small but established network of naturist (clothes-optional) retreats, ranging from rural bushland properties to coastal holiday parks. These facilities operate as member-based or commercial venues, adhering to Australian nude recreation laws which permit social nudity on private property and designated public beaches. Retreats typically emphasize relaxation, community, and connection with nature, offering amenities such as swimming pools, saunas, camping, and caravan sites.
