Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Men-only clothing-optional guesthouse and spa in Wilton Manors.
Men-only, clothing-optional guesthouse in Wilton Manors, open since 1999. Founders John Dorry and Bill Barnish bought what was then a transient housing complex in 1998 and rebuilt it — at the time, Wilton Manors had almost nothing beyond a single bar. Cabanas is credited as one of the pioneers of the neighborhood's gay identity. 18 individually decorated rooms across five buildings, a heated saltwater pool with cabanas, a smaller secluded relaxation pool, an in-ground hot tub, and a canal-side waterfront setting behind a privacy fence and security gate. The full-service men's day spa (massages, facials, body treatments) is open to non-guests via day pass. Tiki bar serves food and drinks poolside. Continental breakfast included. Voted Best Gay Guest House by South Florida Gay News eight consecutive years. Under a mile from Wilton Drive's bars and restaurants. Rates around $190/night.

The complete LGBTQ+ guide to Fort Lauderdale and Wilton Manors — America's gayborhood by the sea with 30+ venues on Wilton Drive, Sebastian Beach, and year-round events.

We verified 32 LGBTQ+ campgrounds in the US, from 700-acre men's retreats in the Ozarks to a women-only resort in Michigan's Thumb. This guide covers every one we could verify from the campground's own website: who's welcome, what clothing optional means there, what you can sleep in, what it costs and when the season runs.

Florida's gay resorts are spread across five cities with very different styles. Here is the statewide picture: which cities have clothing-optional men's resorts, which have gay hotels anyone can book, what each one's own site says it costs, and where to go deeper.
Robbie S.
Fort Lauderdale has ten gay resorts and guesthouses, most of them men-only and clothing-optional, split between the beach side and Wilton Manors. Here is each one, what its own site says about pools, policies and rates, which ones sell day passes, and the all-welcome beach hotels to pick if you want the ocean instead of a walled garden.
