El Templo del Sol – Spanish naturist campsite in a scenic setting

Writer: Helena Bergström

Updated: August 2026 | After a hectic festival week in Valencia and a week of pouring rain in Peñíscola, we felt like we were in for a bit more comfort and relaxation. We checked into the naturist campsite El Templo del Sol, which is beautifully situated on the Mediterranean. Here you are greeted by Arabic-style service buildings and when you enter through the glass doors to the reception it feels like you are entering a finer hotel.

Camping El Templo del Sol

El Templo del Sol is a nice and well-maintained naturist campsite. All the buildings on the site are designed in Arabic style, which gives a special atmosphere. During the low season, when we were here, the prices are also favorable.

The campsite is located in L'Hospitalet de l'Infant, not far from Tarragona.

Service and accommodation at the campsite

The campsite accepts guests with their own camper or caravan as well as guests who want to stay in a bungalow or cottage. Our campsite was super nice – both spacious and wonderfully green.

The service buildings are fresh with good showers and there are also other services such as restaurants, bars, shop, hairdresser and massage. Not everything was open when we were here though, as we arrived so early in the season.

Pools and jacuzzis

There are several nice pools and jacuzzis, both indoor and outdoor. When we were here, the indoor jacuzzis were used the most, which of course was because it was quite cool outside.

A fantastic beach

The beach is right next door and is incredibly beautiful. We can probably say that this is the most beautiful beach we have seen in Spain.

Naturist camping – how does it work?

At a naturist campsite you are welcome to sunbathe, swim and live without clothes. Exactly what applies can vary slightly from campsite to campsite. At this particular campsite you can be naked on the campsite grounds, in the pool and on the beach – while clothes are required at the reception, bar and shop.

Then of course the weather plays a role. When we were here it was quite cold, so there weren't many opportunities to voluntarily drop our clothes. Instead, we took the opportunity to do some training sessions.

Varied weather

We had varied weather during our stay in March. Sometimes the sun peeked out and contributed to the feeling of spring.

We also had days when the winds were so strong that it felt like a storm. The weather report warned of gusts of wind up to 28 m/s, and people were running around the campsite like crazy chickens to tie down their tents and gather their stuff.

The winds threw the car in all directions, gravel splattered against the side of the camper, and the doormat, which we had forgotten under the car, flew away.

What fascinated us most was the mighty and slightly ominous clouds that formed in the sky, and which changed shape throughout the evening. We wondered what would happen, but eventually the clouds cleared, and we woke up to the sun.
