Sauna Paraíso is one of Madrid’s oldest and most established gay saunas, known for its central location and spacious layout. Found in the heart of the city, it’s a convenient spot for travelers who want to mix relaxation with the social side of the gay scene.
The facilities cover everything you’d expect from a large sauna. There’s a dry sauna, steam room, whirlpool, showers, and a small gym for those who like to warm up before heading into the spa. Private cabins are available for downtime, while darkrooms and cruising areas give plenty of options for more adventurous moments. A bar and lounge area make it easy to pause, grab a drink, and chat with other visitors.
Décor is practical and straightforward, with a clean and functional design. The atmosphere is relaxed and easygoing, which makes it approachable for both locals and tourists. The crowd is diverse, though evenings and weekends tend to attract the biggest mix of ages and types. Weekday afternoons are quieter, creating a more spa-like environment for those looking to unwind.
Special events or promotions are sometimes on the calendar, but most of the appeal lies in its reliability as a well-known sauna that’s easy to reach. Whether you stop by before a night out in Chueca or make it your main plan, Sauna Paraíso delivers a steady combination of spa comfort and playful energy in central Madrid.
