Inside the French nudist resort where swingers flocked to spend hot vax summer

- Claudio and Pepe Aguirre are husband and wife and the founders of a luxury vacation business for swingers.
- They recently hosted 65 swinger couples at resort in Cap d'Adge, France, a nudist village.
- Take a tour of the resort when swingers took it over for a steamy hot vax summer getaway.
In mid-July, 130 swingers, romantic couples who consensually swap partners for sex, descended upon a French naturist village for the hot post-vaccine summer of their dreams.
Claudia and Pepe Aguirre, a swinger husband-wife duo and founders of Luxury Lifestyle Vacations (LLV), organized the annual trip for the tenth year in a row.
They told Insider this year's getaway was more sexually charged than ever before, despite fewer people in attendance due to the pandemic.
"You would think it would be tampered down by COVID but quite the opposite. There are a lot of folks there in their 60s and 70s and they know they don't have many years left with their partners. You could literally see the sexual liberation in the air," Melissa Vitale, a publicist for Luxury Lifestyle Vacations who attended the trip, told Insider.
Since most of the Aguirres' swinger clientele come from the United States, they take extra care to acclimate them to the more open sexual environment Europe offers. After giving guests a tour of the resort's amenities, they set them free for a week of sex, pool parties, fine dining, naked sunbathing, and clubbing.
Take a look inside the stripped-down experience:
Cap d'Agde is a naturist village that sits on France's Mediterranean coast, an hour south of Montpellier where the nearest airport is stationed.
The village is home to an estimated 25,000 permanent residents, plus a seaside resort called Jardin d'Eden. The village hosts thousands of out-of-town swingers every year.
When guests arrive at Jardin d'Eden for a Luxury Lifestyle Vacation getaway, LLVClaudia and Pepe Aguirre greet them in a branded golf cart.
To get the VIP treatment from the Aguirres, you have to book the trip through their website.
There's still plenty of opportunities to mingle with other resort guests and beachgoers, they told Insider.
Jardin d'Eden looks out over the beach, where naked adults, teens, and children soak up the sun.
Shirts, pants, and skirts are optional at the resort and throughout the entire village. The most 'covered up' guests will throw a scarf or towel over their shoulder, said Pepe.
At the pool, guests can lounge around, swim, and mingle with other swingers.
Hot pink lounge beds allow guests to have sex anywhere, any time.
According to Vitale, swingers had sex on every surface imaginable in broad daylight.
Each bed was outfitted with condoms and handcuffs.
For a more intimate poolside experience, guests could hop into the jacuzzi - so long as they abstained from sex.
According to Vitale, the trip provided more than sexual intimacy.
"I call it an adult summer camp because we exchanged friendship," Vitale, who was new to the group, told Insider.
"We laughed together. We cried together. When one of the members [of the trip] said they weren't having a great mental health day, we just had a little heart to heart about that."
The pool transforms into a party when nude swingers overtake the space to drink, dance, and touch.
Before the pandemic, Jardin d'Eden was known for its foam parties, where staffers shoot mousse into the air and onto guests.
This year, the resort went foam-free for safety reasons, said Vitale.
Around every corner, there's a chance to get kinky with a new friend or perfect stranger. Exhibit A: These wall-mounted handcuffs.
All of the beaches except one prohibit it sexual activity on the sand. If caught, the nudist in question must pay a €150,000 fine.
But one nude beach, called the dunes, allows public sex. It's common to see men start a masturbation circle around a single woman or couple having sex, said Vitale.
"If you're a single woman who lays on the beach you'll have a circle of guys masturbating around you in minutes," she said, adding that men pleasured themselves there — with consent of those around them — during a thunderstorm.
"Even severe weather won't stop them," Vitale said.
Nudity is allowed anywhere in the village, even off resort property. Guests enjoyed shopping naked for charcuterie as a pre-nightlife treat, said Pepe.
At night, guests put on their fanciest outfits and head to one of the resort's clubs, which are organized by kink. One is for swingers, while another is for BDSM.
Claudia and Pepe hosted themed nights for their clients, including a "lace and leather" theme and a neon night.
Every couple would dress in their best outfits and head to the clubs, which required high heels and vaccination cards.
Guests wasted no time breaking in the gear in the BDSM room.
A group shower with red mood lighting also welcomed horny guests.
After 7 days of indulgence, guests head home. But the fun isn't over forever. According to Pepe, 70% of LLV guests return for another trip.
In fact, one married couple of 53 years has celebrated more of their anniversaries with LLV swingers' getaways than with their extended family.
"It really is such a community and family, that you know, f---s each other sometimes," said Pepe.
