Los Angeles Magazine - Awarded Feature Travel Destination in BEST of LA edition. "I liked these naked people. They were without pretense in addition to being without clothes." Terra Cotta Inn is unique. Their guests are the nicest, friendliest guests in the world.
And on April 11th, 2012 AOL Travel picked the top 10 nudist spots in the world. AOL Travel wrote, "A popular mainstream nude sunbathing spot, it's ideal for those trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time. It's also considered one of the best value nudist vacation resorts in the world." Cool that again we are recognized as one of the best nudist resorts in the world to go nude sunbathing, and you don't have to break your vacation budget staying here.
Don't be fooled by other naked places that pretend to be less expensive, but have membership, ground, resort fees, charge for breakfast and snacks, don't heat their pools, only have guests on weekends, etc. We're such a great value even our soda is only $.50/can. Where else in the US can you get a quarter pound cheeseburger, fries, and coke delivered to you poolside for only $5.95 including tax and tip? Only at Terra Cotta Inn. These are some of the reasons why MSNBC picked us as the best value of all nudist resorts in the Western US.
The weather has been perfect for nude sunbathing in Palm Springs. We had only 2.11 inches of rain in all 2011. That's why Palm Springs is the sunniest city in the US and is the best location for year round nude sunbathing in the world.
It's no wonder Lonely Planet travel guides (the largest travel guide company in the world) picked Palm Springs as one of the top 10 vacation destinations in the US and The Los Angeles Times newspaper in August 2012 picked Palm Springs as the #2 BEST vacation destination in ALL Southern California.

The Terra Cotta Inn is the most popular topless and nude sunbathing resorts in the western US. For instance Tripadvisor.com, AOL, Huffington Post, USA Today, Chicago Tribune, Vancouver Sun, Lonely Planet Travel Guides and more, picked us as one of the 10 best clothing optional resorts in the US or world.
In August 2012, the Los Angeles Times newspaper honored Southern California businesses with their 2nd annual Readers Choice awards. They picked our nudist resort, The Terra Cotta Inn as the BEST, MOST POPULAR of ALL small resorts in ALL the Palm Springs area for the 2nd year in a row.
This comes on top of Palm Springs Life Magazine in their 2011 Best of the Best issue picking the Terra Cotta as the BEST boutique hotel in the whole Palm Springs area. And our local newspaper, The Desert Sun, reported in 2010, we are the most mainstream clothing optional resort in the US and perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time. And of course experienced nudists and nude beach vacationers love our nudist resort too.
And The Terra Cotta Inn is the best not because we are exclusive and snobby (we jokingly recommend snobs go elsewhere). Quite the contrary, we're the best because we have such a friendly atmosphere and the guests have so much fun. If you naturally have a smile, you will love our nudist resort.
This is one of the many reasons why we have one of the highest occupancy rates of all hotels in the Palm Springs area and why we have one of the highest repeat guest rates in the travel industry at just over 80% repeats.
Our guests come from around the world although most are from all over the US, Canada, England, Australia, and Mexico.
We book just a few people for day use each day. If on the dates you were hoping to vacation here, we are already full and you're staying in a time share or another hotel because we were full, call us for day use at 1-800-786-6938.
