Pelados Beach Hostel

A men-only nudist hostel in the village of Pipa (municipality of Tibau do Sul), on the coast of Rio Grande do Norte, a short walk from the centre and the beaches; it was previously in Tabatinga, in Paraíba, near the naturist beach of Tambaba. It presents itself as the first men-only nudist hostel in South America, open to gay, bisexual, straight, trans and non-binary guests, and states that nudity is compulsory. It is a house with a narrow pool, an open-plan living area, a shared kitchen and double rooms, with breakfast included; there is also a resident dog. The atmosphere is that of a social hostel: the host and volunteers organise board games, karaoke, music and dancing, and those who stay there mostly talk about the welcome and the sense of community, including for those new to nudism. In the listing the host asks guests not to touch anyone without permission and writes that sex is allowed in most areas: it is therefore not a place for those looking for traditional naturism. It has no website of its own: bookings are made through platforms and WhatsApp.
