Find
me under the palms.

Wandering about in Second Life
(SL) as I’m wont to do, an acquaintance recently recommended a nudist resort to
me that I hadn’t heard of before.
(Significant Other seems shocked thinking I’d seen them all.)
Intrigued, (Significant Other
asks what else is new.) I made plans to visit and to check it out.
The resort is called Isla de
Amores and I visited a few times to see what it was all about. During one of these visits, I met Charlie Miami, the
owner/operator, who agreed to
an interview with me.
The following story is based
on that interview and my visits.
Charlie is an old SL hand.
He began his time inworld as a
guard at Wild
Coast, a naturist
sim. Charlie says that he remembers
me from my earlier visits there and I vaguely remember him. (Significant Other suggests that I was more
interested in certain other residents.) He left Wild Coast to establish Miami
Properties with a partner but closed down that venture when the partner had to
leave SL. Charlie says that it’s hard to
be a land business inworld unless you have a niche.
Isla de Amores was Charlie’s
next venture inworld. Being a naturist
in Real Life (RL) when he can, he decided to go back to his roots inworld. The resort was first opened for Charlie’s
friends and then to the public in April 2015.
Charlie believes that nudity
and sex are part of human nature. Some
lean to it more than others, he’s one of the ones who leans to it. The goal at Isla de Amores is for people to
come and enjoy his efforts there. It is
a way to give back to the community by making it available to all free of
charge.
Designing and staying on top
of the latest trends in furniture inworld is a pastime for Charlie. (Remember this is an adult sim so we’re talking
sex here folks!) He has a large
inventory of animations spread all over the sim, even the starfish have
them! Some of these
animations are
custom made exclusively for Charlie and can be found nowhere else inworld. This adds to the uniqueness of Isla de
Amores. I’ve checked out several of
these and the variety offered is indeed broad and original. (No more details, we’re still not that kind
of blog! Check them out for yourselves.)
Isla de Amores does accept donations
from visitors but there is only one donation barrel located at its
entrance. Charlie’s not in it for the
money. While other sims have closed for
lack of funding, he has no intention of doing so.
Interestingly, the resort is
clothing optional. Nudity is not a
requirement. Group membership is a
requirement but is free. Charlie says this
helps to keep poor behavior out. All
sexual preferences are respected. Al that
is asked is that everyone be kind and respectful to one another.
There are no planned social
events because Isla de Amores is only a homestead with a limit of twenty
avatars at any one time which does preclude large gatherings. Treasure hunts have been held in the past and
may occur again in the future.
Only adult human avatars are
allowed entrance. Attached ears, tails,
and wings are allowed. Complete animal or
fantasy avatars are not. Visitors who
appear in such form are politely asked to switch to human form.
Isla de Amores is comprised of
a series of small islets connected by narrow walkways or accessible by wading
through shallow water. Lush, tropical
foliage covers them. Highly detailed
palm trees, tropical flowers, shrubs and bushes are scattered across
the sim
giving a very lifelike effect. The
grounds alone are worth a visit.
Beautiful, small beaches offering privacy and opportunities for couples
to be intimate are washed by waves.
Colorful birds fly overhead. Waterfalls
and rock formations complete the natural settings.
Small huts and cabins are
available for use by visitors. Row boats
are moored along the shore. Lounge
chairs, blankets, and dance balls can be found on the beaches. (Remember what I said earlier about the
unique animations!) Ruins for exploring
are also hidden in the underbrush.
There is a teleport to take
visitors to the more popular places. (My
BDSM
friends may be interested in the Red Room in particular.)
I strongly recommend Isla de
Amores to anyone who is interested in a quiet, enjoyable, tropical nudist
resort in SL. Since it’s clothing
optional, as long as no one minds others being nude, the resort is well worth visiting
to see how a beautiful, tropical resort can be constructed inworld.
Isla de Amores is unique for
being a very well laid out resort which is not cookie cutter produced like
other sims inworld. The use of multiple
islands breaks it up allowing for
more beaches and private places. (OK, I’ll admit it, I get lost every time I
go there. Significant Other is only
surprised that I’ve admitted that.) And,
don’t forget those animations that are unique solely to Isla de Amores!
I hope that you’ll visit Isla
de Amores and enjoy yourselves!
Who knows? Maybe you’ll run into me!

I’d like to thank Charlie
Miami for meeting with me and for creating such a wonderful addition to the
nudist community inworld!
I’d also like to thank my
Companion who supplied all the pictures used in this story and that can also be
found on this flickr
page. (She also keeps asking why I
seem to only send her to nudist resorts.)
As always, I’m grateful to all
inworld for their kindness and time in stopping to talk with a stranger who was
passing through their lives.
