Escape to Paradise: Vera Playa's Secret Naturist Oasis (Casa Esquina Verde)
Escape to Paradise: Vera Playa's Secret Naturist Oasis (Casa Esquina Verde) - A Messy, Honest, and Utterly Human Review
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the (naked) beans on Casa Esquina Verde in Vera Playa. Forget your perfectly polished travel blogs; you're getting the raw, unfiltered truth, complete with my questionable life choices and a whole lotta sun-kissed skin talk.
The Promise: Naturism, Luxury, and Unfettered Freedom (Plus Wi-Fi! Thank God!)
Casa Esquina Verde sounds like a dream, right? A naturist oasis where you can shed your inhibitions along with your clothes. A place where "leave your worries at the door" isn't just a cheesy cliché, but a requirement. And, crucially, they promise free Wi-Fi in all rooms. Thank. The. Gods. Because, let’s be honest, even paradise needs a little Instagram action.
My Experience: A Glorious, Slightly Clumsy, and Ultimately Liberating Adventure.
Let's start with the good stuff.
Accessibility & Amenities - The Basics, But Important!
- Accessibility: Okay, I'm not wheelchair-bound (thankfully), but I appreciate a place that thinks about it. Casa Esquina Verde has "Facilities for disabled guests" listed, which is a great start. I'd love to see more specifics here.
- Internet, Glorious Internet: Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! (And it actually works!) - a godsend. Important. Because updating my social media is a big part of relaxing.
- Cleanliness & Safety: Okay, the place smells clean. And they’re serious about hygiene - "Anti-viral cleaning products", "Daily disinfection in common areas", "Hand sanitizer" everywhere, and staff trained in "safety protocol". This is comforting, because, well, we've all been through that. "Rooms sanitized between stays" – excellent.
- Things to do, ways to relax: This is where Casa Esquina Verde starts to shine.
The Spa and Well-Being - Where the Magic (And the Body Scrubs) Happens
Right, so I’m not usually a "spa person." I'm busy and I'm not generally calm. But I figured, "Hey, embracing the whole naturist vibe, might as well get completely pampered".
- The Massage: O.M.G. Okay, so, picture this: you, lying on a massage table, naked (duh!), the sun streaming through the window, the scent of lavender and whatever fancy essential oil they used. Pure bliss. This was the actual best part of my trip. I even started to fall asleep, and I never fall asleep. The therapist… she was a magician. I highly recommend. Seriously. Pure bliss.
- The Pool with a View: The pool is gorgeous. It's a swimming pool (outdoor) with a view. It's perfect for a lazy afternoon, just chilling, reading a book, watching people skinny-dip (and some people do this). Really, there's something so liberating (and slightly odd) about sipping a cocktail poolside without a stitch on. It takes a little getting used to. But I got used to it, fast.
- The Sauna and Steam Room: I'm not a huge fan of either. But I know some people like them. It's all part of a package of "ways to relax".
- Body scrub & Body wrap: I didn’t get around to these two. I'll make sure to next time.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - Fueling the Naked Adventure
- Restaurants: I'm not a foodie, but the food was good. They have a restaurant on location (also with a view), serving a mix of dishes from "International cuisine" to some "Vegetarian". Food delivery is available.
- Poolside Bar: Cocktails! This is where the aforementioned poolside chilling gets real. Happy hour is a must. Pro-tip: Order two. You'll thank me later.
- Breakfast: Breakfast service is a good option. I'm partial to the "Western breakfast".
Services and Conveniences - The Little Things That Matter
- Air conditioning in public area: Useful. The Spanish sun is relentless.
- Concierge, Luggage storage, Doorman, Laundry service, Daily housekeeping: All present and correct. I needed laundry service more than once.
- Cash withdrawal: Very handy.
- Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site]: This is something that’s appreciated.
- Elevator: Also good.
Rooms - Your Personal Naked Sanctuary
Alright, let's talk rooms… I am going to be honest, the room itself was pretty fab.
- Air Conditioning: Life saver in summer
- Bathrobes, Slippers: Lovely touches, especially when you're not used to walking around naked (which, let’s be honest, most of us aren’t)
- Desk, Laptop workspace: essential for working (or pretending to work) while away.
- Free Wi-Fi: Again, a lifesaver! I spent many hour in my room.
- Refrigerator: Handy for keeping your sangria cold.
- Blackout Curtains: Needed, sometimes.
- Extra long bed: I'm tall; this was heaven.
- Safe box: I used it.
For the Kids - Families Welcome!
- Babysitting service: Good to know if you're travelling with little ones.
- Family/child friendly: A definite plus.
Getting Around:
- Airport transfer, Car park [free of charge], Taxi service: All good options.
The Quirks, the Imperfections, and the Overall Vibe
Okay, let's be real. It's not perfect. There's a certain… vibe to naturist resorts. It's a mix of zen, liberation, and the occasional, slightly awkward encounter. You WILL see things you never thought you'd see. Prepare yourself. Embrace it. Laugh.
- The Naturist Factor: The whole point, obviously! It takes a minute to get used to walking around naked. But honestly? It's liberating. You stop caring about your "flaws" (we all have them!). You embrace your body. It's… empowering. But DO expect some awkward interactions. Some people are more comfortable than others.
- The Little Things: The coffee could be better.
- The Atmosphere: It's relaxed, it's friendly, and it's definitely not a place for shyness.
My Verdict: Embrace the Bare Necessities (and Book It!)
Casa Esquina Verde delivers on its promise. It's a place to relax, to unwind, to really be yourself. It’s a little rough around the edges in places, but that’s part of its charm. It's not about perfection; it's about the experience.
My Emotional Reaction: Utterly charmed. It's good.
Overall Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars. Recommended.

KL's Regalia: Unbelievable City Views You HAVE to See!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive HEADFIRST into the gloriously sun-drenched, (hopefully) tan-line-free, and potentially slightly disastrous experience of Casa Esquina Verde in Vera Playa! This isn't your sterile, pre-approved travel itinerary. This is more… a survival guide with a healthy dose of existential waffle.
Casa Esquina Verde: A Naturist's Ramble – Vera Playa, Spain (or My Pants Got Left Behind!)
Day 1: Arrival - Anticipation and a Slight Panic
Morning (ish - because who sets alarm clocks on holiday?!): Flight from wherever-the-hell-I-was-before to Almeria. The usual airport drama: forgotten phone charger, frantic realization I've packed five pairs of "going out" heels (because obviously I'll be needing those in a nudist colony), and a lingering fear of losing my passport. Pro Tip: Pack your passport in a brightly colored sock. It might not prevent loss, but it will add a touch of dramatic flair.
Afternoon: Arriving in Almeria and taxi to Casa Esquina Verde - I didn't anticipate the sheer, unadulterated orange-ness of the landscape, it's like someone spilled a cartoon bucket of pigment. The ride's bumpy, the driver seems to exclusively communicate through hand gestures and questionable Spanish, and my stomach is already doing the 'holiday jitters' dance.
Check-in & Déshabillage (The Big Reveal): Casa Esquina Verde, oh sweet mother of nudism! The place itself is charming, slightly rustic, like a well-loved grandmother's house. Check-in is swift, and I try to look cool and confident, but my insides are screaming. First challenge: getting naked. I'd like to say I gracefully shed my clothes, but honestly, it was more of a clumsy, sweaty flailing. Oh god. Am I really doing this?
- The initial walk-around: I swear I spent the first hour pretending to be intensely fascinated by the intricacies of the bougainvillea, while surreptitiously eyeing everyone else. Are they comfortable? Do they always walk around like that? (Spoiler: yes, they do. And more power to them.)
Evening: The communal pool is the official baptism, the first time you go down is the hardest, I think I went down three times, but I really liked the bar.
Dinner: The communal tapas and wine, and I'm trying to focus on something, anything, other than how many people are looking at me… or, you know, not looking at me. Turns out, everyone is just… normal. With one notable exception: a man with a beard the size of a small rodent, who spends the entire evening in a reflective pose, occasionally murmuring about the interconnectedness of all things. I am starting to feel relaxed.
Day 2: Sun, Sand, and the Unexpected Joy of a Pants-less Existence
Morning: Coffee and the gentle, morning sun. I'm starting to get the hang of this nudist thing. There's something incredibly liberating about not having to worry about bra straps, muffin tops, or uncomfortable denim. I actually enjoy the sun on my skin. I'm starting to see the appeal!
Beach Time (or, "Where I Realize I Am Not Supermodel Material"): The beaches of Vera Playa are stunning – golden sand, sparkling water, and a whole host of bodies in various states of undress. I choose a secluded spot. I lie down, and my mind wanders. I'm thinking of the existentialist questions. Is this the epitome of human experience?
Lunch: The beach bar. It starts with the sun, the sea, and the sand, so you're going to relax, right? Not for me. My order is… not successful. I ask for a simple salad and am brought a plate of what looks suspiciously like a collection of weeds with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. I'm starving.
Afternoon: Doubling Down on the Nudity! I take the plunge and actually walk the length of the beach. The initial nervousness fades. I realize I'm surrounded by a diverse group of people of all shapes, sizes, and ages, all enjoying the simple pleasure of the sun and the sea. I start feeling a connection. It's a profound and kind of humbling realization. Freedom!
Late afternoon: I decided to go back to the pool, which is a great idea, until I remember I left my shorts, my pants, and my sunglasses at the beach bar. I am now walking around bare-arse in front of everyone, and it's the most embarrassed I've ever been.
Evening: Dinner. I'm not sure what I am expecting. The guy with the beard is back. He approaches me with a twinkle in his eye. "The essence of vulnerability," he whispers, and I am pretty sure he's trying to pick me up. Luckily, I have friends who are not as relaxed as me.
Day 3: Discovery, Doubts, and the Last-Minute Tan
Morning: I was waking up and looked out the window and saw a beautiful sunrise reflected on the sea. I'm getting the hang of this. I'm getting used to being naked, and the sun.
Afternoon: I spent the whole afternoon walking in the sun, reading. This place is amazing.
Evening: Last dinner at Casa Esquina Verde. I'm starting to feel slightly wistful. It's been an incredible experience. The sun. The sea. The freedom. Sure, there were the minor disasters (the pants incident will forever haunt my dreams), and the slightly eccentric characters, but it's also been liberating, eye-opening, and utterly unforgettable.
Post-Trip Rambling:
The Verdict: Forget the tan, the weird food, and the brief moments of blind panic. Casa Esquina Verde is a slice of heaven. It's about embracing your body, accepting yourself, and finding the unexpected joy in the simplest things.
My Key Takeaway: Pack extra sunscreen, don't assume your pants will magically find their way back to you, and for the love of all that is holy, bring a decent beach towel.
Escape to Paradise: Vera Playa's Secret Naturist Oasis (Casa Esquina Verde) - You Got Questions? I Got... Answers (Maybe)
So, is Casa Esquina Verde... actually paradise? Don't sugarcoat it.
Paradise? Honey, that's a loaded question. It's NOT the pristine, photoshopped paradise where smiling models frolic in slow motion. Think more… a slightly sun-drenched, delightfully chaotic paradise with a healthy dose of reality. It's got its quirks, trust me. Like, the rooster situation? (More on that later, *shudders*). And let's just say my first attempt at a natural tan resembled a lobster that had a brawl with a bottle of sunblock. But yeah, the overall vibe? Pretty darn close to heavenly. Especially with a cold beer in hand and the sounds of the sea whispering in the distance. Okay, maybe I am sugarcoating. It's mostly paradise. Mostly.
Okay, specifics. What's the deal with the "naturist" part? Is it, you know, *awkward*?
Alright, brace yourself. Nakedness is the norm. And yes, at first, it's… a thing. A big, in-your-face thing. Your brain screams, "OMG, I'm naked in front of strangers!" But honestly? It fades. Quick. The freedom is intoxicating. I mean, you get used to it faster than you'd believe. And let's be honest, it's kinda liberating! Less laundry! Less tan lines! Fewer body-shaming thoughts (surprisingly). BUT, and this is a HUGE BUT: it's all about respect. No staring, no gawking. Everyone's just… existing.
What's the accommodation like? Is it a luxury hotel or a glorified hostel?
"Luxury" isn't the first word that springs to mind. It's more… charmingly rustic. Think character over clinical. Casa Esquina Verde has personality. Some rooms have sea views, some have better views of the, ahem, 'neighboring' areas. The decor isn't cutting-edge, but it's comfortable. You're not roughing it, but you're also not getting a butler. And honestly, who wants a butler when you can walk around in your birthday suit whenever you damn well please? The real luxury is the vibe, the community, the escape.
Food! Tell me about the food. Is it all bland vegan options? (Please say no).
Bland vegan options? Thankfully, no! Okay, there might be some vegan options, but the food at Casa Esquina Verde is… *delicious*. Local, fresh, prepared with love. Think paella bursting with flavor, freshly caught seafood, and tapas that will make you weep with joy. I swear, I gained five pounds just from the breakfast spread. And yes, there's usually plenty of meat. You'll want to spend your days swimming and your nights dancing because you'll eat so much. The restaurant is a highlight, hands down.
What's there to actually *do* besides, you know, be naked?
Okay, aside from the obvious (ahem), there's PLENTY. The beach is gorgeous. You can swim, sunbathe (naturally, wink wink), read, and stroll. There are hikes in the nearby mountains (bring water!), water sports, and boat trips. You could explore the local towns and markets. And at night? The vibe shifts. Imagine evenings filled with live music, laughter, and maybe a little bit of *flirting*. Honestly, Casa Esquina Verde encourages it. It's a place where people actually *talk* to each other. Imagine that! It's not all about the activities, though, it's about the connection.
I'm a worrier. What if I'm not comfortable with the... lack of clothing? Will I feel pressured?
Relax, my friend. No pressure. Seriously. Casa Esquina Verde prides itself on being inclusive and welcoming. If you're a newbie and feel self-conscious? Fine! Wear a sarong. Wear a hat and a swimsuit. Nobody will judge. The whole point is to feel comfortable. The staff is super chill, and other guests are generally pretty understanding. They GET IT. It's about the experience, not a forced initiation. But, honestly, you might find yourself ditching the clothes sooner than you think… just don't force it.
The Rooster. I heard tales... tell me more!
Oh, the rooster. Bless its feathery heart. Picture this: blissful morning, the sun peeking over the Mediterranean, the scent of coffee… and then, KERRRRRRR-CAAAAW! At 5 AM. Every. Single. Day. Yeah. It's an experience. A *loud* experience. You'll either learn to love it (highly unlikely) or you'll become intimately acquainted with your earplugs (highly recommended). It's part of the charm (ahem, I use the term loosely). It's like a furry, feathered alarm clock with a serious attitude. Seriously, invest in earplugs.
Are there any downsides? Anything I should know beforehand?
Besides the rooster? Okay, here's the unvarnished truth:
- Mosquitoes: Depending on the time of year, they're relentless. Bring repellent. Thick, industrial-strength repellent.
- The Internet: Spotty. Really spotty. Consider this your digital detox.
- The Spanish Sun: Powerful. Slather on that sunscreen! And maybe invest in a big hat. Seriously.
- It's not Club Med: Don't expect perfection. Embrace the imperfections!
Okay, so the vibe is a pretty good one, but how's is it a "secret?"
It's not *that* secret, but it's not overrun with tourists either. It attracts a certain kind of person, a person who's seeking something *real*. People seeking authenticity. People who want to chill and embrace the simple pleasures. Casa Esquina Verde kinda knows what it is, and doesn't need to be a huge resort to cater to the masses. That's part of the charm. The secret is in the experience, the people, not the destination.
