Fig Leaf Villas

Naturist Holidays

The sunshine holiday is often the highlight of the naturist year - and there are hundreds of places around the world to stay. There really is something for everyone - resorts range from the most luxury hotel accommodation, with top-notch facilities and acres of landscaped grounds, right down to the most basic campsite.

There are holiday villages with shops, pools, restaurants and bars, entertainments and activities and a choice of accommodation types; cruising and sailing holidays; apartment complexes; self catering cottages; camping and caravanning sites; B&Bs; and Naturist clubs with facilities for the holidaymaker. Many are situated in superb locations, not only beautiful to look at, quiet and secluded, but also only a stone's throw from tourist attractions.

In addition many of the naturist clubs around the UK welcome guests with a wide variety of facilities. Check out our UK Places To Go section for further details.

BN Members' Holidays

Group holidays for BN members have now become an established part of our events' programme and are going from strength to strength. They’ve become a valuable part of what many members get from their subscription and a brilliant way to meet like-minded people – a recent holiday to Spain attracted almost 60 people! There’s been a great mix of single men and women, and couples and the communal dinners, trips and other activities have made the holidays even better. Add to that the group discounts we have obtained from the resorts and you have no excuse not to come along! Find out more.

Fig Leaf Villas (www.figleafvillas.com) is a small, high quality naturist resort in the Southern Peloponnese set above the Messinian Gulf amongst olive groves with wonderful views of the sea and the mountains beyond. We have three villas with a shared swimming pool set in an acre of beautiful terraced gardens dripping with bougainvillea, jasmine, oleanders, vines, and many more lush and sweet scented flowers.

All three villas have one bedroom and are ideal for a couple. However, the largest of the villas, Villa Elya, is 60sq.m. and can sleep up to 4 people using the sofa-bed in the living room, either as a double or two singles.

Villa Elya (60 sq.m.) sleeps 2/4:

This villa is wonderfully spacious, set in an elevated position with a huge veranda that wraps round 2 sides of the villa, enjoying a spectacular view of the sea and mountains across the bay.

Villa Seeka (40 sq.m.) sleeps 2:

This charming villa is L-shaped and nestles in its own corner away from the other two villas and is surrounded by fig trees, oleanders, herbs and many flowers. It has two terraces, one facing the sea, shaded by bougainvillea, vines and jasmine; the other accessed by the main room and the bedroom. Lovely sea and mountain views.

Villa Dafni (30 sq.m,) sleeps 2:

This lovely little villa has breathtaking views of the mountains and sea. There is a veranda on two sides, covered with vines, jasmine and passion flowers and looking down across the olive groves to the sea and mountains beyond. It also has its own garden sitting area with pool and sea views.

(Please note that Villas Elya and Dafni are attached, but private from each other.)

We have a large swimming pool, 10m x 5m, with a self-service pool bar. We give you a complimentary evening meal by the pool on the evening of your arrival, if you book four nights or more, plus a breakfast pack or free litre of good local wine. That way all you need to do is arrive, settle in and relax. Quee offers social meal evenings as well which are very popular with the guests.

We also have a flood-lit boules court.

Quee also offers relaxing massages, including an Indian head massage, back massage or full body massage. These massages are pampering massages to ease out any knots and tensions in your muscles, to stimulate the lymphatic system to help remove toxins, and generally create a feeling of relaxed well-being.

The area has lots of fabulous beaches many of which are suitable for naturism- the villas have comprehensive information packs with advice about the best beaches, days out and all the fantastic historical sites that abound in our area.

The Peloponnese is unusually lush for Greece, we have mountains, and rivers that flow all year round and wonderful waterfalls nearby with clear turquoise water. The area also has many very picturesque fishing villages, and hilltop villages that haven't changed for the past century or more!

The local food and wine is excellent and some of the best vegetarian/vegan food in Europe- and still very reasonably priced- a couple can eat out with two courses and wine for around 20- 25€. Tourism in the area is very low-key, just enough to give a nice holiday atmosphere and supply visitors with good bars and tavernas, but never crowded and over-busy.

We have two airports that give access to the villas: Athens (EasyJet, BA, Ryanair and Aegeanair), and Kalamata (British Airways, easyJet and Ryanair).
