The official guest guide permits nudity throughout the domain and requires complete nudity in the waterpark, spa and naturist beach bathing areas. Les Bassins d’Arna is reserved for age 16 and above.
Practical clothing is accepted for weather, medical reasons and sports; the guide requires clothing in the gym, indoor sports and Tiki evening venue. Children and teenagers may cover with a towel or sarong.

Access & visiting
Paid visits are available by arrangement under the responsibility of a staying host: declare the visit, pay the current entrance tariff and leave the vehicle at the entrance. Confirm permission and facility rights beforehand. Solo visitors need the published sponsorship or valid naturist-club card. Spa sessions have separate booking conditions.
Age & supervision
Children and teenagers are addressed in the domain’s naturist rules. The separate Les Bassins d’Arna spa is 16+; practical clothing and youth-covering exceptions apply.
Age policy sourceWhen to go
Seasonal. The checked material gives a 2026 closing date of 27 September; the spa page still displays older seasonal hours, so confirm the next opening calendar and spa appointments.
Directions & Parking
Getting there
Arrive at the signed Arnaoutchot entrance at 5006 Route de Pichelèbe, between the coastal dune forest and Vielle-Saint-Girons. Use reception for registration and a domain plan, not an informal track across the dunes. The operator-group property point is used rather than the broad embedded map centre.
Parking
Use reception’s arrival parking and obtain instructions for your booked pitch or accommodation. The official guest guide requires visitors to leave cars at the domain entrance; do not drive through the forest or onto beach paths.
Finding the naturist area
Follow the marked internal route to the family aquatic area or Les Bassins d’Arna. For the spa, the operator describes a planted path through dune grasses to the garden, sauna, hammam and relaxation spaces. For the beach, use the campsite’s direct signed dune crossing; the naturist shore is reached from the domain, with seasonal lifeguards.
Where naturism applies
Nude bathing rules apply within Arna’s naturist pools, spa and designated naturist beach. The age-16+ spa is a separate facility from the family aquatic area. Stay within signed beach boundaries and never assume nearby textile beaches or public roads share the rule.
- Confirm the current opening calendar and any closed facilities before travelling.
- Respect local photography rules and use a towel on shared seats.
Access guidance checked 2026-11-11. Follow current signs and any instructions from the venue or land manager.
