About this place Termas Boa Vista

Termas Boa Vista has run since July 1997 at Rua (Dom) Manoel Pereira 53, on the Boa Vista and Santo Amaro edge of central Recife, which makes it the city's longest-running gay sauna. Some older guides call it Sauna Thermas Recife. It's spread over several floors, with wet and dry saunas, a steam room, video rooms, private cabins, a bar with snacks and a small dance floor. Drag shows and karaoke are regular, with karaoke reported on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Official hours and prices (November 2026): Monday to Thursday 15:00-23:00, R$55. Friday and Saturday 15:00-06:00 overnight, R$60, with free breakfast 05:00-05:30. Sunday 15:00-23:00, R$60, with a free hour of draft beer and soft drinks 19:00-20:00. Holidays R$60, and the night before a holiday runs overnight. There's no hourly surcharge, and wifi and parking are free. The 11th entry is free after ten paid visits. Reviewers praise the cleanliness and the friendly staff. They also note many male sex workers on the floor and heavy crowds on weekend nights. Little English is spoken. Updates are posted on Instagram @termasboavistaoficial. Use the lockers and take an app car at night.

Wonderful! I just wish the boys had a different colored towel so they could be identified more easily.

Very good. Good service from the reception staff. Also at the bar. The cleaning staff don't smile, but I wasn't mistreated. I loved the boys... Especially Leonardo, a short, black guy. Clean sauna. Sometimes, the customers themselves compromise the cleanliness. They leave glasses and bottles in the toilets, throw paper and don't flush the toilets. Spacious sauna. With various environments and attractions.

The service was good and some areas were clean, but the space had narrow corridors, warm drinks, and bad snacks. I live in São Paulo and came for a visit; I don't think it deserves the title of best in the Northeast. Club 11 in Salvador is much better in several of the aspects I mentioned above. Remember, this is just my opinion. Both have GP (privacy/sex services), and the level in Salvador is much higher in that regard.

The sauna was great in every way, it really did have a lot of GPs but I didn't have any problems with them.
