Shangri La Ranch

Come and enjoy year round warmth and tranquil desert surroundings at SHANGRI LA RANCH. We believe that the best way to welcome newcomers to the nudist lifestyle is to allow them to ease into the nude environment at their own pace, therefore SHANGRI LA RANCH is clothing optional.

We are a family friendly facility that welcome everyone interested in naturism. Full memberships with the resort are available; inquire with the office staff.

SHANGRI LA RANCH emphasizes the freedom of choice. You select the activity that suits you from quiet relaxation in the spa , sauna or on the pool deck, to swimming, volleyball, water volleyball, tennis, basketball, horseshoes or hiking trails. A clubhouse, children's playground and laundry are available. The pool is maintained at a comfortable temperature year round. Note that no bathing suits are allowed in the pool.

Our clubhouse features a large fireplace, pool table, ping-pong table, electronic darts, and a big screen TV with VCR. A library of books and games are available for your enjoyment. Tables and chairs are set up for indoor dining, card games and other social gatherings. Soda vending machines are located near the clubhouse for your convenience.

The Bare Buns Café is now open and operating on weekends only. Enjoy the excellent cuisine or just sit and enjoy a great cup of coffee with friends.
