Our First Ever Newbie Nudies

Newbie Nudies

Private AetherHaus Takeover • Davie St, Vancouver • Clothing Optional • 19+ • Just 30 Spots

What to Expect

Cold Outside. Less On Inside.

We’ve never done anything quite like this before — and we’re already missing the beach. So while Vancouver gets cold and wet outside, we thought: why not bring a little clothing-optional freedom indoors?

Newbie Nudies is a private 90-minute clothing-optional sauna experience at AetherHaus on Davie St, created for anyone who’s curious, new to naturism, or just wants a relaxed place to try something different. Nude Beach Map has booked the entire space for our group.

The Experience

The evening is hosted by Megan & Matt from Nude Beach Map, with the Aufguss experience led by the team at AetherHaus.

Inspired by the German tradition of Aufguss, the session combines sauna heat, scented steam, music and guided elements — with plenty of space to relax, cool down and enjoy the experience at your own pace.

We’ve booked the space for our group, with just 30 guest spots. Bathing suits are optional for the evening.

What the Night Looks Like

  • 7:25pm – Newbie Nudies begins at AetherHaus on Davie St
  • Settle in, get comfortable and meet the group
  • Enjoy the space at your own pace — bathing suits are optional
  • AetherHaus leads us through its Aufguss experience with music, scented steam and heat
  • Time to sauna, cool down, relax and just enjoy being there
  • 8:55pm – Session wraps up
  • If anyone’s keen, we may head next door afterwards for a quick cold beer

There’s no pressure to arrive feeling confident or experienced. The whole point is to make trying a clothing-optional social space feel easy, normal and welcoming.

Never Done This Before?

Perfect. That’s exactly who Newbie Nudies is for.

Come curious. Go at your own pace.

Maybe you’ve been to nude beaches before. Maybe you’ve thought about it but never quite taken the plunge. Or maybe this is completely new territory.

We’ve never done an experience like this before either! We wanted to try something different indoors and enjoy it with a small group of people who are new, curious or still finding their feet.

You don’t need to know anyone or arrive feeling completely confident. Megan & Matt will be there to host, answer questions and experience the night alongside everyone else.

FAQ

Do I have to get naked? +

No. But this is designed as a private nude event, so we do encourage everyone to come ready to take part.

There’s no pressure to undress the second you walk in, and nobody is forced to do anything they’re uncomfortable with. Come with an open mind, take your time, and join in at your own pace.

Absolutely. Newbie Nudies was created specifically to make that first experience easier. You won’t be the only person doing something like this for the first time.
