Sauna Paraíso

About this place Sauna Paraíso

Sauna Paraíso on Calle del Barquillo is the primary gay sauna in Madrid's Chueca district — situated two minutes' walk from Calle Pelayo and the centre of the gay neighbourhood. The facilities are comprehensive: heated pool, steam room, dry sauna, gymnasium, private cabins for rental, darkroom areas, bar and lounge, locker facilities. The Chueca location makes Paraíso the natural sauna destination for visitors based in or visiting the gay district — easy to reach on foot from any of the Pelayo or Libertad bars, open through the afternoon and into the early hours. The pool area is a particular asset in Madrid's extreme summer climate; temperatures in July and August regularly exceed 38°C, making an air-conditioned sauna with a pool a genuinely functional resource. Sauna Paraíso is the consistent first recommendation for gay male visitors to Madrid seeking a sauna, and the venue that most local gay men in Chueca would direct you toward.
