Brits can jet away on a luxurious Valentine’s Day escape for a week in the Spanish heat for £800 – but there is one catch. A resort in Gran Canaria exclusively for nudists is helping people celebrate the most romantic day of the year – on February 14 – without clothes.
With an average temperature of 20C and above in the later winter, the climate is a lot friendlier than the frosty UK. For £800-per-head, nudists can fly away on February 13 for seven nights. The resort offers luxurious suites, breakfast and a huge pool – where skinny dipping is encouraged.
The four star hotel’s package also offers a free bus ride down to the local nudist beach. One naturist said: “Sounds like a great Valentine’s Day.” Another added: “Counting down the days.”
The Artika Natura resort is located in Maspalomas, Las Palmas. A spokesperson said: “Looking for the perfect Valentine’s gift? Make your loved one shine with a romantic getaway at Artika Natura! Enjoy the sun, peace, and warm climate of Gran Canaria together in an exclusive naturist setting. Upon arrival, you’ll be surprised with a beautiful rose heart and delicious chocolates on your bed. Wake up to a luxurious breakfast and spend the day however you like: relaxing by our heated pool or jacuzzi, or exploring what Gran Canaria has to offer.
“Artika Natura is the perfect base for a romantic adventure. Stroll through the famous Maspalomas dunes, relax on the naturist beaches, or discover the vibrant atmosphere of Playa del Inglés and the nearby Yumbo Centre. Whether you choose relaxation, adventure, or romance: Artika Natura offers everything for a unique Valentine’s experience.”
Gran Canaria is home to approximately 45,000 Brit expats. Every year, 5.7million people from the UK head to the Canary Islands on holiday.
