Sauna Thermas POA

عن هذا المكان Sauna Thermas POA

Sauna Thermas POA is Porto Alegre's main gay bathhouse and has been a fixture of the city's LGBTQ+ infrastructure for many years. The sauna operates in the city centre, making it accessible from both the Cidade Baixa neighbourhood to the south and the main hotel areas of the central city. The facilities are comprehensive for a city of Porto Alegre's size: steam room, dry sauna, a pool or jacuzzi for communal relaxation, private cabins, lockers, and social areas. The clientele is the full range of the Porto Alegre gay male population — regulars who come on weekday afternoons, a larger crowd on weekend evenings, and visitors during the Pride week in June and other peak periods. The staff are professional and discreet in the manner of the better Brazilian gay saunas. Porto Alegre's gay bathhouse tradition is well-established, and Thermas POA occupies the central position in that tradition. For gay male visitors to the city, it is the reliable option regardless of when in the week or year one arrives — a consistent fixture of the LGBTQ+ scene that the bars and clubs, however excellent, cannot fully substitute for.
