On the wild and unspoiled southern coast of Crete, there’s a place where nature, freedom, and warm hospitality come together. Vritomartis Naturist Resort is not just a hotel; it’s an experience.
For more than 30 years, Vritomartis has welcomed guests from all over the world. Some come as seasoned naturists, others for their very first clothing-free holiday. Either way, everyone finds the same thing: a relaxed atmosphere, no pressure, and a breathtaking landscape that makes every day feel special.
At Vritomartis there is a healthy balance between long-time naturists and naturism beginners, many of whom choose Vritomartis as their introduction to naturism thanks to the resort’s welcoming and respectful atmosphere. Unlike other naturist destinations in Europe where full nudity is required at all times and in all areas, Vritomartis maintains a more balanced approach. Guests are free to ease into the naturist lifestyle at their own pace, as we provide a respectful and flexible environment. This welcoming way helps first-time visitors feel more relaxed and confident, without the pressure of being nude everywhere all the time.
A resort with a story
The idea behind Vritomartis began in the early ‘90s with a simple but powerful vision: to create a safe and welcoming space for naturists in Greece. At the time, naturist options were limited, and this resort changed that. It became one of the very few places in the country where naturism could be practiced with comfort and respect.
Built in the wild beauty of Sfakia, Vritomartis blends perfectly into its surroundings. The weather is usually warm and sunny, and the surrounding mountains and sea create the perfect backdrop for a naturist escape.
Where you’ll stay
Accommodation at Vritomartis is designed for comfort and choice. You can stay in modern rooms with private balconies overlooking the mountains or the sea, cozy bungalows nestled in gardens, or treat yourself to one of the “Hidden Ladies Suites”; ideal if you want extra space, privacy, and a touch of luxury.
Inside, the style is simple and calming, with warm colors, comfortable beds, and plenty of light. From the moment you walk in, you feel at ease, and that’s exactly what a naturist holiday should be about.
Life at the resort
Life at Vritomartis moves at your own pace. You might spend the day by the large swimming pool, take part in a yoga class, or join an aqua gym session. If you prefer something more active, there’s a tennis court and garden games to enjoy. For those who love to explore, the resort organizes guided hikes and cultural excursions; a wonderful way to discover the real Crete.
One highlight is the naturist boat trip, an unforgettable excursion to hidden coves and beaches that you can only reach from the water.
And of course, there’s the resort’s very own naturist beach: Filaki Beach.
Filaki Beach - a true naturist spot
Just a short shuttle ride or a pleasant 15-minute walk from the resort lies Filaki Beach, one of the few official naturist beaches in Greece. The path down to the sea takes you through the rugged hills, and you might even see a few goats along the way; a true taste of Crete.
When you arrive, the setting is stunning: a pebbly shore with crystal-clear waters and a calm, relaxed atmosphere. Everything you need is there: sunbeds and umbrellas for comfort, showers and toilets for convenience, and a beach bar serving drinks, snacks, and hot meals. It’s the perfect place to swim, snorkel, or simply stretch out under the Mediterranean sun and let time slow down.
Food made with love
Every day at Vritomartis begins and ends with good food. Breakfast and dinner are included in your stay, and the kitchen takes pride in serving dishes made from fresh, local ingredients. Expect the flavors of the Mediterranean: light, healthy options as well as heartier meals, all prepared with care.
The restaurant has a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, making it easy to meet other guests or simply enjoy a quiet dinner for two. For many visitors, sharing meals here becomes one of the highlights of their stay.
Why guests keep coming back
Over the years, the resort has continued to evolve, introducing eco-friendly initiatives, upgrading accommodations, and expanding the range of activities. Everything is done with a clear focus on quality and guest comfort. That attention to detail is one of the reasons so many people return year after year.
