סאונות גייז הטובים ביותר בריו דה ז'נירו

Rio G Spa

The main tourist-oriented option — well-maintained, in a good Ipanema location, no escort policy. Dry sauna, steam room, private cabins, video room, dark room, gym, and massage services. Ideal as a post-beach stop before dinner.

Termas Leblon

Upscale-leaning option in Leblon (the neighbourhood just west of Ipanema) — steam room, dry sauna, jacuzzi, relaxation areas, and private cabins. Well-maintained and a step up in atmosphere from some of the other options.

Club 117

More mixed venue — bar, restaurant, steam room, dry sauna, swimming pool, private cabins, and live performances including DJ sets on party nights (open until 5am). Near the Lapa nightlife area in Glória.

Sauna Botafogo

The local option — converted residential space, older clientele, no frills. Dry and wet sauna, video room, open areas. Popular with regulars who prefer a straightforward experience without tourist pricing.

Chupps

All-day, all-night operation — check their Instagram before visiting as the schedule for themed parties (partnered with Casa Preta on weekends) changes. Good for the late-night option when other venues have closed.

Seven Cruising Bar

Second floor location downtown — a cozy bar with U-shaped dark corridor and private cabins. Young crowd (20s–40s), mostly local, shirtless atmosphere. More bar than sauna but functions similarly.

A Note on Pricing

Prices are significantly lower than equivalent European venues — 70–150 BRL is typical for entry. Some venues include towel and locker; others charge separately. Exchange rate fluctuations make this even better value for visitors with USD or EUR.
