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 hot tub , sauna or on the pool deck, to swimming, volleyball, water volleyball, pickleball, 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, hot tub, or sauna.
Our clubhouse features a large fireplace, dance floor, tables and chairs for indoor dining, card games and other social gatherings. In the adjacent conference room we have a library of books and games for your enjoyment. There is a large screen TV with DVD & VCR to enjoy our collection or movies or bring your own. It is also an excellent facility for visiting clubs and organizations needing meeting space that can accommodate large groups and private functions. Soda vending machines are located near the clubhouse for your convenience.
Friendly people. Refreshing pools. Amazing food at the bare buns cafe! It was a great night with reasonable prices.
I love it here. I've been traveling here for many years and would love to live here. The people are friendly, and the pools are nice. Every time I'm here, I never want to leave. I will keep going as long as they allow me.
I call this my "Happy Place". Many friendly people are there as well as an amazing staff. It's no putting on the Ritz stuffy place . Instead, it's down to earth, friendly atmosphere with great pools, jacuzzi, game room, restaurant, dancing, karaoke and even a short hike. I did not use, but saw tennis, volleyball and believe a basketball court as well if my memory is working. I stayed in a very nice little park model and accommodations were reasonably priced and clean. If you have never been through a similar experience. I was there for my first-time experience. The staff and guests were very kind, explaining the process of getting use to the new experience and it became my new normal. They were very helpful in getting my inhibitions calmed quickly. In 2020, I married the woman of my life. I had brought her here and they helped her through the same inhibitions. I not only recommend this place but return here at least 3 or 4 times every year with my bride. We had our honeymoon here and it was her idea. Friday night karaoke and Saturday night dancing. They have many things throughout the week as well. I highly recommend getting out of your comfort zone here as it will become your new comfort zone.
My wife and I aren’t new to the clothing optional lifestyle and even had a nude wedding, but this was our first visit to Shangrila Ranch. We spent nine days here and loved it. We definitely plan to return, possibly for month’s.
Now I am a bit biased since I live here, but this place is awesome. If you need to get away from the Valley or life, come on up and visit us.
I have been a member here for years, I meet new folks all the time. The one thing most all have in common is they are smiling. They never realized how freeing and natural it is to get in the swimming pool (they are all salt water, one is heated) then get out and lay in the sun. The warmth of the sun on your bare skin is breathtaking, especially if the wind blows. Along with not having to deal with a wet bathing suit dripping on all your stuff.
When you show up bring a towel, something to drink during the day, and that smile of yours. You will fit right in and make some new friends along the way. See ya around the pool!
