via Stay22About this place Sauna Octopus
Sauna Octopus is a big gay sauna in Madrid, a relaxed spot for men to unwind and meet people.
It’s a sprawling place, 1,000 square meters, with a dry sauna, a heated pool, and two dark rooms. If you want more privacy, there are 20 private cabins. They’ve also got a movie theater and offer massages, so you could easily spend an afternoon or evening here.
The crowd here skews a bit older, which makes for a pretty chill vibe. It’s a good fit if you’re after a more low-key social scene.
You’ll find Sauna Octopus at 10 Calle de Churruca in Madrid. It’s centrally located, easy enough to get to if you’re out exploring the city. Always a good idea to double-check their hours and any special deals before you show up. With the pool, the cabins, and everything else, it’s got enough going on whether you’re there to socialize or just want a spa-like escape.

The experience is great. I've been several times, but I'm taking off one star because the last time I went the smoking room was closed. I don't know if it's a permanent closure or if it was closed that day for some reason. For smokers, that room is quite nice for relaxing a bit. But if you want to smoke and stay in the sauna... forget it.
Good small gay sauna with mainly bears. 5pm Sunday seems to be the peak
Very disappointed I’m with friends from London we make order in bar the guy who is in charge I’m sure from Asian maybe Philippines very rude hope management will check this 🏅
What a waste of time!! We were only in the sauna for two hours, and an hour before closing time, instead of midnight, we were kicked out at 11 pm by the unfriendly staff! €16 for two hours is way too much! They could have at least told us beforehand that they were closing in two hours. No, instead they just pocketed the money and offered poor and unprofessional service! I've been to gay saunas all over Europe, BUT I will never go back to this disgusting place! It was also very dirty and smelled strongly of urine!! If you're in Madrid, please save yourself the trip there! There are much better places!
This isn't the sauna's fault, but I must warn people who, like me, simply want to come and relax in the pool and saunas without seeking any kind of intimate contact with others. Consent doesn't seem to be respected by some users of this place. This happened on May 15, 2026, around 5:00 PM. I don't speak Spanish (this review is translated by AI). I was alone in a corner of the pool, relaxing, when two men approached me and spoke to me in Spanish. I indicated that I didn't understand, and without regard for my wishes, they began kissing me and forcing physical contact. In a state of shock, I couldn't react, only close my eyes hoping they would understand that I didn't want it. I couldn't speak or easily pull away, as one of them kept his mouth pressed against mine insistently. The other, a tall, dark-haired man, tried to force me to perform oral sex; I managed to make him understand with gestures that I wouldn't, and he left. The other man, however, continued his behavior until he finally left without saying a word. I immediately went to shower and left the place, still in shock. I won't be filing a report because I can't remember their faces due to the darkness and the impact of the moment, and I don't want to blame the establishment, but I recommend being vigilant if you decide to go.
Error in the call xD
