"The air that flows across the Alentejo and Monte Naturista has been cleansed by the mighty Atlantic Ocean, just about 30 km to the West. Untainted, unpolluted, invigorating yet calming, the climate incluces feelings of peace and well being. Spectacular sunsets signal appraoching darkness and as the light fades the jet black sky is filled with countless bright stars, every bit as heavenly as the days first gin & tonic."

Monte Naturista is about 50 km West of Beja. According the KNMI is Beja fourth of sunniest places in Western Europe and has it an average day temperature of 17 Cº from October till March. This is one of the reasons why naturists winter on the campsite. If the sun shines it is strong enough to be naked in January. And during the summer often a cool breeze flows across the campsite.
