FLORIDA'S NEWEST NATURIST RESORT lies just 25 miles north of Tampa Airport. It opened in 2004 and immediately set new standards of nudist luxury. The resort is set in a private 101-acre estate and has been designed to blend harmoniously with the natural landscape. More than 1,500 trees, majestic oaks and mature palms are found throughout the resort. Lush landscaping surrounds the three placid lakes giving splashes of colour at most times of the year. There is even a two-mile nature trail, designed for walking, jogging or cycling!
Caliente is a self-contained village with shopping, eating and drinking, entertainment facilities and activities all on site. The luxurious amenities are equally suited to just relax and do nothing at all – and why not be pampered in the amazing Spa. Caliente has a mock-Spanish flavour to it with terracotta-tiled roofs and Spanish names for all facilities – “Caliente” means hot!
FACILITIES & ACTIVITIES All the facilities of the resort are grouped in and around the two-storey Clubhouse in a 16-acre area – two restaurants, five bars, nightclub/disco with a cutting-edge sound and video system, seven pools – including the quarter-acre Lagoon Pool with two islands and the Grotto Waterfall, two hot tubs, state-of-the-art fitness centre, sauna, steam baths, six pro tennis courts (three clay), two water volleyball pools and two sand volleyball courts, four petanque (boule) courts, basketball court, two shuffleboard courts, aerobics and a children’s playground. There is also a Guest Services Reception, a mall of 16 shops, a library, a laundrette and an ATM machine. There are four golf courses within 20 minutes drive.
The Spa offers luxury service – facials, hand and foot care, hydrotherapy, body treatments, massage menu, multiple packages, waxing, eye and lip care etc. Because of the internal distances, Caliente operates a complimentary stretch-golf-cart shuttle service between the Clubhouse and the residential areas. (Many residents also have their own golf buggies for which special parking areas are provided – with electric hook-ups to recharge the batteries overnight!)
NATURISM The resort is clothes-optional, including the Clubhouse, but all wet areas are clothes-free! Most people stay nude throughout, day or night.
