Who we are
We are an informal group of naturists trying to raise awareness and promote initiatives to encourage naturism in Malta which as of date remains frowned upon by authorities and for which any practice could be tried by the Commissioners for Justice as an infringement of the provision in the Criminal Code that prohibits public nudity in any place. Our aim is to build a network of trusted friends who engage in the practice of naturism as defined by the International Naturist Federation - 'to live in harmony with nature characterized by the practice of communal nudity with the intention of encouraging self-respect, respect for others and for the environment'. Our understanding of naturism is that it is non-sexual.
