FKK in Berlin: The 12 Best Nudist Spots

Berlin and nudism (FKK for Freikörperkultur) go together like the Spree River and the capital. What raises eyebrows in many other cities around the world is a lived and beloved tradition in Berlin: nude sunbathing and swimming. Whether at the idyllic lakes in the surrounding area, in luxurious spas, or in the city’s legendary clubs—Berlin offers countless places where you can let it all hang out.

Here are the 12 best FKK spots in Berlin, divided into nudeist spots and natural pools, wellness oases, lodging options, and the world-famous nightlife.

1. Nudeist Beach at Wannsee (Teufelssee)

The classic in western Berlin and an absolute institution among Berlin’s nudeist enthusiasts. While the large Wannsee beach requires clothing, not far away in the Grunewald forest at Teufelssee lies one of the city’s most historic and popular nude bathing spots. Here, a diverse community gathers on the large sunbathing lawns right by the water. The atmosphere is deeply relaxed and completely in tune with nature.

Where: Teufelssee in Grunewald, Wilmersdorf

2. FKK Beach at Müggelsee (Nudist Beach at Kleiner Müggelsee)

In eastern Berlin, the city’s largest lake attracts sunbathers. On the southern shore of Kleiner Müggelsee lies a beautiful, official nude beach. Surrounded by dense forest, it’s the perfect place to dive into the clear water and forget the stresses of everyday life.

Where: Kleiner Müggelsee, Köpenick

3. Flughafensee (Nudist Area)

In northern Berlin, tucked away in a wooded area in Reinickendorf, lies the Flughafensee. This deep quarry lake features a spacious sandy cove on the west side that has been a favorite spot for nudists for decades. A great spot for anyone looking for a combination of a fine sandy beach and shady spots under the trees.

Where: Flughafensee, Reinickendorf

4. Plötzensee (Nudist Area at the Beach)

If you don’t want to travel quite that far out, you’ll find the historic Plötzensee beach right in the heart of Wedding. Here, there’s a specially designated, secluded nudist area with its own sunbathing lawn. Perfect for a quick dip after work without having to leave the city.

Where: Plötzensee Beach, Nordufer 26, 13351 Berlin

5. Nudist swimming spot at Habermannsee (Kaulsdorf Lakes)

A real hidden gem in the eastern part of the city. Habermannsee is part of the Kaulsdorf Lake District and offers wonderful, unspoiled coves off the beaten path where nude swimming is tolerated and actively practiced. Ideal for those seeking peace and quiet.

Where: Habermannsee, Marzahn-Hellersdorf

6. FKK Park in the Großer Tiergarten

If you don’t want to travel all the way to the outskirts of the city for nude sunbathing, you’ll find one of the capital’s most historic nude areas right in the heart of Berlin. Strictly speaking, nude swimming and sunbathing are officially prohibited in the Großer Tiergarten, but they are unofficially tolerated on certain large grassy areas.

The most well-known unofficial nude sunbathing area is centrally located between Fasanerieallee and Hofjägerallee (southwest of the Großer Stern). This area is also traditionally a popular meeting spot within the queer community.

Since this is not an official nudist area, you should handle the situation respectfully and, if necessary, quickly get dressed again if other park visitors feel disturbed.

Where: Tiergarten, between Fasanerieallee and Hofjägerallee

7. The beautiful Vabali nudist spa in Berlin

The Vabali Spa is an absolute wellness oasis in the heart of the city that transports you straight to Bali. Spanning 20,000 square meters, this spacious, beautiful facility is designed as a strictly nude area (swimwear is not permitted in the pools and saunas; outside these areas, a bathrobe is required). With numerous saunas, steam baths, hot water pools, and Asian architecture, it is the most elegant place for nude relaxation in Berlin.

Where: Seydlitzstraße 6, 10557 Berlin

8. The Liquidrom Nude Spa

The Liquidrom is housed within the futuristic Tempodrom building in Kreuzberg. The centerpiece is the dimly lit domed pool filled with warm saltwater, where you can float weightlessly amid underwater music and light shows. While the pool area is clothing-friendly, the spacious sauna area with an outdoor courtyard is a strictly nude zone, offering deep urban relaxation.

Where: Möckernstraße 10, 10963 Berlin

9. Nude Camping at Rätzsee

For the perfect nude vacation, Berliners head a bit north to the beautiful Mecklenburg Lake District for nude camping at Rätzsee. This idyllic campground is entirely dedicated to naturism. Here, you can spend the entire day—whether camping, sipping coffee, or canoeing on the crystal-clear Rätzsee—completely naked and in harmony with nature.

Where: At Rätzsee, 17258 Feldberger Seenlandschaft

11. KitKatClub

World-famous, unconventional, and one-of-a-kind: The KitKatClub (often simply called KitKat) is a staple of Berlin’s nightlife. Founded in the ’90s, it’s a place where electronic music, sexual freedom, and absolute permissiveness come together. At the legendary club nights (such as “Kinky Galore” or “Revolution” on Saturdays), there’s a strict dress code: Everyday clothes stay in the coat check. Allowed are fetish wear, leather, vinyl, lingerie—or even complete nudity. The club features dance floors, lounges, and an integrated pool.

Artemis in the Charlottenburg district is one of the largest and best-known nudist sauna clubs in Europe.

The Freedom to Be Yourself

Whether you’re relaxing in the sun by an idyllic forest lake, unwinding in luxury at a Balinese spa, or partying in the city’s hedonistic nightlife—Berlin proves that nudism here isn’t just a trend, but a way of life centered on freedom, tolerance, and body acceptance. The nudist movement or FKK is a German phenomenon with a long history.

Important tip for beginners: Respect, mindfulness, and adherence to the respective site and club rules are top priorities at all nudist locations, so that being naked together remains a relaxing experience for everyone!
