Caliente!
It’s So Hot, Who Needs Clothes?
During the planning for
Caliente, Chuck Foster told some friends that the resort would be the “hottest
nudist resort in the country.” One of them responded, “Ah, Caliente,” which is
Spanish for “hot”. The name resonated with Foster, now the resort’s Vice
President. Once having committed to the Hispanic name for the project, it seemed
only natural to develop the theme throughout. The result has been that all of
the architecture, street names and the names of Caliente’s features-- bars,
restaurants, night club, building names-- carry the theme forward.
Caliente is a nude recreation community, built for and
managed by nudists. First, it’s a residential community, designed for people who
wish to own their homes or cottages or condominium apartments in a nudist
setting, where they can live the nudist life all day, every day, year round, in
a secure and private place of great natural beauty.
Second,
Caliente is a private recreation and social club which operates on what most
people will recognize as a country club model. That is, the payment of an
annual membership fee allows unlimited use of the club’s restaurants and bars
and of the club’s sports, recreation and social facilities.
Third, Caliente is a resort. Nudists come to Caliente from
all over Florida, and indeed, from all over America and the rest of the world to
enjoy a Caliente vacation, whether a day, a week, or more.
Spa Sereno—Caliente’s luxurious resort spa— features the
latest in advanced holistic skincare therapies. Pevonia’s non-comedogenic
results-driven products combine the purest, most effective ingredients the
oceans and earth have to offer. The natural affinity between nude recreation and
spa programs is the basis for the spa’s projected growth.
Accomodations include
condominiums, casitas, villas, single-family homes, and rooms. There are six
tennis courts, three clay, four pentanque courts, two beach volleyball courts,
horseshoes, shuffleboard, water volleyball pools, a basketball court and a 2
mile walking trail. The main building features five bars, a restaurant, dining
room, International-style spa, locker rooms, full fitness center, aerobics’ room
and offices.
From
the grandeur of the Clubhouse and 8,400 Sq Ft lagoon pool with grotto waterfall,
to the sprawling 120 lush tropical acres that encompass the resort, Caliente
will inspire your senses and invigorate your body.
Check their website for a list of upcoming events. There is
a monthly golf outing as well as a monthly Savvy girl luncheon.
