When Karie Jane was in her mid-30s, she took a trip with her husband to a naturist beach. Little did she know that this trip would change her life forever. She and her husband fell in love with the naturist lifestyle and even bought a house in Fuerteventura where they could spend their summer holidays in the nude.
However, after their divorce, Karie made a bold decision. She moved permanently to the Canary Islands and transformed her home into a naturist resort. Now, at the age of 57, Karie, a former theatre producer, runs the BHH Naturist Resort in Costa Calma. Her resort boasts five apartments and a pool for guests to relax and unwind in the nude.
According to Karie, running a naturist resort has allowed her to fall in love with herself through naturism. It's a very liberating experience, and she takes part in all the activities with her guests, such as barbecues and evening drinks. While some guests may feel shy at first, Karie has seen their confidence grow throughout their stay.
Karie takes pride in hosting breast cancer survivors and witnessing them being comfortable in showing their scars. She explains that many first-time naturists may start by just going topless, but by the end of their stay, they fully embrace the lifestyle. She believes that this is because naturists are the friendliest community on the planet, and they support and care for one another.
Although some naturist venues in the UK do not allow single men, Karie does allow them to stay at her resort. However, she thoroughly vets them before their visit. She explains that she has a telephone conversation with them before their first visit to ensure they are a good fit for her resort.
Despite this, Karie still faces misconceptions about naturism, and she often receives inappropriate comments and unwanted advances. As a single woman, she has encountered men who believe that being naked means you only want to shower or have sex. She quickly sets the record straight and maintains strict boundaries.
Karie hopes to one day find a fellow naturist to share her life with, but her lifestyle has presented some hurdles. She once met someone online who assumed that because he paid to stay at her resort, they would have a sexual relationship. Karie had to set him straight, and this experience made her boundaries even stronger. She prefers to get to know people first and would never sleep with a guest.
Despite these challenges, Karie has had many fantastic memories with guests since running her business. Some of them have become close friends, and she often keeps in touch with them even after they leave. Her parents, who are in their late seventies, even come to stay at her resort and love it.
Even Karie's ex-husband is supportive of her naturist business venture, and they remain friends. In January 2024, Karie was featured on Channel 5's The Canary Islands with Jane McDonald, where Jane visited her resort and witnessed guests taking part in a naked yoga retreat. Karie was proud to be on the show and was pleased with how well it portrayed naturism.
Karie also runs a ladies' retreat at her resort, where female naturists can come and stay, make friends, and embrace the naturist lifestyle. She recently won the Best Marketing Award and was a runner-up for the Best Naturist Venue Award at the Naturist Travel Awards 2024.
For those curious about naturism, Karie's advice is to dip your toe in and give it a try. She believes that most people will love it, and it's the best kind of holiday because you don't have to deal with wet bathing suits. In a naturist environment, everyone is equal, and there is no judgment based on expensive clothing brands, which is very liberating.
Karie's story shows that naturism is not just a holiday, but a way of life that can bring people together. Her resort is a safe and welcoming space where people can be themselves without any judgment. If you're interested in experiencing the naturist lifestyle, Karie's resort is the perfect place to start.
