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. www.calienteresort.com
