Rooftop Resort
The Rooftop Resort in Hollywood, Florida — between Fort Lauderdale and Miami — bills itself as South Florida's premier lifestyle-nudist destination and the region's only completely clothing-optional hotel, meaning, in its own words, anywhere and everywhere on the property. A private heated sky pool and sun deck sit over ocean and Intracoastal views, with day and night passes sold alongside rooms.

What it's actually like
The Rooftop Resort makes a claim almost nobody else in American hospitality can make, and makes it in bold type: the only completely clothing-optional — nudist — hotel in South Florida, and, per the resort's own site, anywhere and everywhere on the property. That is a different product from a topless-optional pool at a party resort; here the entire hotel runs clothing-optional, from the heated sky pool and sun deck to the tiki bar and the indoor lounge.
The setting is Hollywood, Florida — the beach town between Fort Lauderdale and Miami — and the property's signature views are the blue ocean on one side and the panoramic Intracoastal on the other. The resort's own tagline sets the register: dance naked, party naked, swim naked. It is small-hotel intimate rather than resort-campus vast, and the crowd skews lifestyle and nudist couples who want a social, adult, zero-pretense beach break.
Day passes, night passes, and rooms
The resort sells three ways in: hotel rooms, day passes, and night passes — a structure that matters because it lets a curious couple test the property in half-day increments before committing a weekend. Few properties in this category make the first step that easy, and for South Florida locals the day pass is the product.
The amenity set is compact and honest: the private heated sky pool and sun deck at the center, a tiki bar for the daytime, an indoor lounge for the evenings, and an events calendar that runs parties and themed gatherings through the season. It is a hotel built around its pool deck and its crowd, not a spa campus — plan accordingly and price the trip accordingly.
Who it suits
Couples who want a completely clothing-optional environment — not a designated zone — and want it inside a real city break: Fort Lauderdale and Miami are both within easy reach, so the trip can pair a lifestyle hotel stay with restaurants, nightlife, and everything else South Florida offers. That combination is genuinely rare; the alternatives are usually a resort campus in the suburbs or a cruise.
It also suits nudist travelers who found topless-optional properties unsatisfying: the resort's own framing as a nudist-lifestyle destination is accurate, and the crowd reflects it. First-timers do fine with a day pass as the entry product; the property is small enough that the social scene is legible within an hour of arriving.
What first-timers should know
Clothing-optional everywhere is rarer than the marketing of this whole category suggests — confirm your own comfort with that before booking, because there is no clothed side of this property to retreat to. Check the current age policy when reserving; the resort is unambiguously adults-only in audience, but door terms are the resort's to state, not ours.
The events calendar is worth reading before you pick dates: the property's party rhythm swings between relaxed weekday pool days and busier themed event weekends, and the crowd follows. Book direct or through an agency that knows the calendar — the difference between a quiet long weekend and a party weekend is entirely which dates you chose.
Best time to go
South Florida's prime pool season runs fall through spring — warm, dry, and busy — while summer is hot, humid, and quieter, with the Caribbean hurricane season technically spanning June through November. The heated pool keeps the property functional year-round, which matters more at a small hotel than at a big campus.
For a first visit, aim for a shoulder-season weekend with an event on the calendar: warm enough for the sky pool, social enough to see the property at its real energy, and priced below the winter peak.

Common questions
Rooftop Resort, answered plainly.
Is the Rooftop Resort really clothing-optional everywhere?
Per the resort's own site, yes — it calls itself the only completely clothing-optional nudist hotel in South Florida and means anywhere and everywhere on the property. There is no clothed side; that is the product.
Is the Rooftop Resort a swingers hotel?
The resort brands itself South Florida's premier lifestyle-nudist destination and markets to that crowd — in its own words and its own tagline. It is best understood as a small clothing-optional lifestyle hotel with a social adult crowd, run under house rules like every venue in this guide.
Can you visit the Rooftop Resort without staying overnight?
Yes — the resort sells day passes and night passes alongside hotel rooms, which makes it one of the easiest first steps in the category: a half-day test before a full weekend.
Where exactly is the Rooftop Resort?
Hollywood, Florida — the beach community between Fort Lauderdale and Miami, per the resort's own location copy. Both cities' airports and nightlife are within easy reach, which is part of the draw.
What are the amenities at the Rooftop Resort?
A private heated sky pool and sun deck with ocean and Intracoastal views, a tiki bar, an indoor lounge, and a calendar of events and parties — a compact, pool-centered set rather than a resort campus.
Is there an age requirement at the Rooftop Resort?
The resort is an adults-only property in audience and branding; confirm the current minimum-age policy and door terms directly when booking, as with every venue in this guide.
