Charco del Palo is a naturist holiday village[2] on the north-eastern coast of Lanzarote, in the Canary Islands.

[3] It was the first official naturist resort established in the Canaries:[4] nudity is permitted everywhere in the village, and practised universally.

Its isolated location, at the end of a dedicated three kilometer long access road, helps to achieve privacy, while the village remains open to all.

[5] The development was originally named Castillo de Papagayo, but since this causes confusion with the well-known Playa de Papagayo nude beach in the region of Playa Blanca in southern Lanzarote, the name Charco del Palo, which refers to a nearby prominent coastal pool now developed for bathing,[6] has become standard.

The surrounding countryside is dominated by fields of prickly pear cactus (known locally as tunera), on which cochineal beetles are reared, and a few small extinct volcano cones.
