Sauna Principe is a gay sauna in central Madrid, a spot for a mature crowd, especially bears and chubby men.
It’s a traditional sauna, meaning you get the usual steam rooms and relaxation areas. Come as you are, leave your clothes in a locker, and just unwind. It’s built for adult men looking for a laid-back, judgment-free space.
Madrid’s gay sauna scene overall has a very European feel — less about pumping iron, more about the thermal experience and meeting people. Places like Principe are big on comfort and authenticity, and they make a point of welcoming all body types and ages.
You’ll find Sauna Principe at 3 Travesía de las Beatas, which is easy enough to get to from anywhere in the city center.

Very large place , lots.of play areas, and cabins, two large jacuzzi , nice large steam room and dry sauna. I came on Monday as leaving tomorrow not many in, id assume it is very busy at tue weekend. Well worth a visit.
Simply the best in Madrid Sauna Paraíso is, without a doubt, one of the best gay saunas in the world. Every time I go to Madrid, it's a must-visit. The place is huge, clean, and very well maintained: pool, steam room, dry sauna, spacious areas, and an atmosphere that always feels safe and relaxed. The best thing is the variety of people: locals, foreigners, tourists, young guys, older men… a bit of everything, and always with great energy. It's a place where you can really feel Madrid's international mix. It also has history: celebrities have been here, and even movies have been filmed here. The location is perfect, steps from Chueca, so you can combine your visit with bars, cafes, or a night out. For me, it's an absolute classic and remains the benchmark when talking about gay saunas in Spain.
I had very fond memories of this sauna, which I visited in January 2020. But I found nothing of what I had enjoyed. I remembered a very large hammam. I don't know if it's just me or if things have changed. Everything seems tiny. There's no atmosphere, perhaps because it's a Monday evening. And to top it off, the pool was out of order, even though I was warned when I arrived. I wasted my time.
All good saunas have paper towel dispensers in the cabins. Hygiene is essential, and then the cabins are dirty, or you leave and have nowhere to clean up. No matter how much you enjoy being dirty and kinky, the least they could do is provide paper towels in the cabins.
