What to check before joining
Clothing, registration and families
Clothing optional means you may choose to stay clothed or be nude in the area or activity covered by the rule. Ask about separate rules for pools, dining rooms and other shared spaces. Check whether registration is required, whether day visitors are admitted and what arrangements apply to families.
Respect and privacy
Ask permission before photographing others, respect personal space and follow the venue’s hygiene rules. For public spaces, check information from the relevant local authority and read posted signs.
