Domo 520

Domo 520 is the largest and busiest gay men's sauna in Curitiba, on Avenida Senador Souza Naves 520 in Alto da XV, a short ride east of the centre. It has been running since 1992 and is open every day from 15:00 to 23:00, with occasional all-night parties announced on its website and sold through Sympla. Facilities, as listed by the venue: a tiled wet sauna (hammam) in two sections, a hotter wood-lined dry sauna, a heated hydro pool with jets beside the showers, a locker room with an individual locker per guest and a grooming counter with hair dryers, a bar with drinks, natural juices and light snacks, a dim corridor ending in a dark room, and air-conditioned private rooms with beds at no extra charge. Phones are only allowed in the locker room. The regular door price is not published. Guests who register at the front desk get a R$25 first entry, free entry on their birthday and weekday promotions worth R$25 at the bar (couples on Monday, bring-a-new-friend night, Wednesday happy hour). The crowd is the youngest and most mixed in the city, with many students, and Sunday afternoons are the busiest time of the week. Google reviews average about 4.5; reviewers praise the staff and bar prices but mention hot water running short at peak times. Contact: (41) 3015-2647, contato@domo520.com, domo520.com. Use the lockers for valuables and bring your own lube; condoms are available at the bar.
