ABOUT BAREVAYA VACATIONS
Barevaya is a premier travel platform offering men’s clothing-optional retreats and shared villas in beautiful destinations internationally. We create exclusive, social, and liberating experiences for those looking to unwind, connect, and explore.
Unlike large hotels and cruises, Barevaya provides intimate, clothing-optional vacation options with a social yet relaxed atmosphere. Travelers join our groups to enjoy organized retreats and/or flexible villas stays along with personalized concierge services, all in breathtaking settings.
- Organized Retreats: A structured 6-night experience with planned group activities (e.g., sailing, island hopping, meals, exclusive activities), while still allowing time for independent exploration. Our concierge can assist with personalized plans and reservations.
- Shared Villas: A flexible stay where you set your own schedule. You’ll share a luxurious villa with other guests and can book activities à la carte with our concierge.
Barevaya vacations are designed by and for gay and bi men, creating a safe and welcoming space. However, all men who respect other travelers and appreciate a clothing-optional lifestyle are welcome to join.
Absolutely! Solo travelers make up a large percentage of our guests, and our vacation options are designed to be as inclusive and social as they are relaxing.

At all Barevaya villas guests have access to shared indoor and outdoor lounges, clothing-optional pools and sun terraces, and meeting and dining areas. During the Barevaya retreats, travelers will also have many opportunities to connect during our organized activities and meals.
