Найкращі Геї-сауни у місті Гонконг

Hong Kong in the evening: the trams rattling along Hennessy Road, the Star Ferry pushing across a harbour full of reflected neon, steam rising from a cha chaan teng where someone is ordering a silky milk tea and a pineapple bun with a slab of cold butter. Then a lift in an ordinary tenement block, a buzzer, a door with no sign, and on the other side, towels, lockers and a steam room. The city's gay saunas work exactly like that: upstairs or in basements, unmarked, and mostly run for a local, Cantonese-speaking crowd. The scene is real but low-key, spread over Central, Wan Chai and North Point on Hong Kong Island and Mong Kok and Jordan in Kowloon, and 2026 has shaken it up, with HuTong in Mong Kok, one of the largest venues, closed twice on health advice over mpox cases.

Legal in one line: sex between men was decriminalised in 1991 and the age of consent is equal, but there is no same-sex marriage or partnership register: the Court of Final Appeal ordered one in September 2023, and the Legislative Council rejected the government's bill on 10 September 2025 by 71 votes to 14. Saunas operate openly as private venues for adults.

How Hong Kong saunas work

• Finding the door: almost every venue is on an upper floor or in a basement of a commercial or residential building, with no sign at street level. Look for the building name, take the lift and ring the bell.
• Age-tiered prices: most venues charge less for younger guests, sometimes by birth year, and ask for proof of age. Some promotions are only for Hong Kong ID holders. Bring your actual passport if you want the age discount: staff may not accept a photo of it on your phone.
• Cash: bring Hong Kong dollars. Visitors report that some venues, Soda among them, are cash only, so withdraw at an ATM before you go.
• The crowd: mostly local Chinese men, with expats and visitors in the Island venues. Reception staff may speak limited English, and reviews at some places report a cool welcome for foreigners. As a rule of thumb, the Island saunas in Central and Wan Chai are the easiest for visitors, with some English and a mixed crowd; the Kowloon venues are more local and Cantonese-speaking, and less used to tourists.

Hong Kong Island



CE Sauna (Central Escalator), Central

CE Sauna has been running since 1991, right by the Mid-Levels escalator. It's on the 2/F of the Cheung Hing Commercial Building, 37–43 Cochrane Street; the entrance is on Gage Street, next to the 7-Eleven, then take the lift. Time Out described its décor as still very early 1990s, and visitors call it small and dated but friendly, with a mix of locals, expats and travellers.

• Facilities: dry sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, a small maze, private cabins, a TV room and massage.
• Hours: the official website gives 13:00–23:00; some listings say midnight. Weeknights around 19:00–21:00 and weekend afternoons are reported as the busiest times.
• Prices: the website lists HK$150 standard entry, with lower prices of HK$120, HK$100 and HK$80 for younger age bands (by birth year). Show proof of age on your first visit. A free daily buffet, drinks, fruit and snacks are included.
• Know before you go: reviews through July 2026 praise the staff and cleanliness, while a few recent ones found the heat rooms not hot enough, the maze cramped and the cabins small for tall men.

Gateway Sauna, Wan Chai

Gateway Sauna is at 1/F, Kwong Ah Building, 114 Thomson Road, Wan Chai, a short walk from Wan Chai MTR. It's gay-only, with wet and dry areas.

My Way

Soda Sauna, Wan Chai / Causeway Bay

Soda, the former Action Sauna, is at 1/F, Overseas Building, 417 Hennessy Road, on the Wan Chai–Causeway Bay border. It's the play-oriented option on the Island.

• Facilities: dry sauna, steam room, a large dark room, a maze, a sling room, private cabins, a tanning room and a snack bar.
• Hours: listed as 24 hours; call ahead, especially late at night.
• Prices: visitors report about HK$160, with a much cheaper youth rate (reported at HK$60 for under-29s). Several reviewers say it's cash only.
• Know before you go: reviews from 2025–2026 are mixed: friendly staff and a well-designed space for some, while others mention out-of-order steam room or showers, indoor smoking and an older crowd. Keep valuables to a minimum.

My Way, Wan Chai

My Way (我行我素) is on the 4/F of the Kuo Wah Building, 340 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai, with the entrance on On Lok Lane.

• Facilities: listed with a dry sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, a dark room, private cabins and nude nights.
• Prices: the website advertises a weekday early-bird entry of HK$70 before 17:00 (not on public holidays), for Hong Kong ID holders only. Full-price entry isn't published; ask at the door.
• Hours: not published; call +852 2574 9098 before you go.
• Know before you go: 2026 reviews range from glowing (layout, staff, a younger crowd) to critical (an unfriendly front desk and an older crowd on weekend nights).

Chaps, North Point

Chaps is a men-only venue in the basement of 15 Ming Yuen Western Street, North Point, a few stops east of Causeway Bay.

• Facilities: steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, a video room, private rooms, a patio and rest areas.
• Theme nights: the website lists a dress code for every night, from underwear and jockstrap nights to "small towel", mask and nude nights.
• Hours and prices: the website lists HK$128 per entry, opening from mid-afternoon to 01:00 Monday to Thursday and overnight on Fridays and Saturdays, plus a half-price late-night offer. Its latest dated news is from 2020, so treat these as indicative and call +852 2570 9339.
• Know before you go: reviews from late 2025 and early 2026 describe it as old and overpriced, with cool sauna rooms.

Kowloon

HuTong (胡同), Mong Kok: closed again in October 2026

HuTong Club, opened in 2012 and widely described as one of Hong Kong's largest gay saunas, is in the Kar Wong Building, 639–645 Shanghai Street, Mong Kok, with the entrance on Fife Street behind a lighting shop (sources disagree on whether it's the 2nd or 3rd floor). Before 2026 it was known for its cedar sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, dark maze, private suites and theme nights, and its own website lists hours of 13:00 to 11:00 the next morning.

In late May 2026, two men diagnosed with mpox in mainland China were found to have visited the venue, and it was temporarily closed from 26 May, initially for 21 days. By 9 June the Centre for Health Protection (CHP) had linked five cases to it. It was trading again by September (we could not confirm the exact reopening date), but on 13 October 2026 the CHP advised it to close with immediate effect after a 39-year-old man with mpox reported several visits, and on 16 October it confirmed the venue had temporarily closed. The CHP asks anyone who went on or after 14 September 2026 to call its mpox hotline on 2125 2373. No reopening date had been announced at the time of writing, so check its official channels before you head there.

Older reviews also report frequent arguments over age-based pricing, and many say foreigners have been turned away at the door, so even if it is open, don't count on getting in.

Manly Sauna, Jordan

Manly Sauna is a newer listing at 1/F, Haven Mansion, 108 Woosung Street, Jordan, presented as a bear-oriented sauna with a dark room, a dorm and private rooms. A handful of 2026 reviews describe it as brand new, with one visitor reporting HK$138 on a Friday evening. We found no independent source for its hours or prices, so call +852 2335 5108 first. Recent reviewers also complain about bright lighting and hygiene.

Status unclear or changed: HuTong (Mong Kok) was closed on health advice from 26 May 2026, reopened over the summer and was closed again on 13 October 2026; no reopening date yet. Big Top Gym & Sauna was marked closed by Time Out Hong Kong in 2023; a Japanese gay travel guide (last updated September 2024) says it reopened in August 2023 at 2/F, Ka Wo Building, 687–689 Nathan Road, Mong Kok, and a local community list from January 2026 still includes it, but a 2025 reviewer asked whether it was still open and we found no recent reviews confirming it is operating. 採熊館, a Mong Kok bear sauna, was also marked closed by Time Out. Action Sauna is now Soda.

Mpox and sexual health. Mpox spreads through close skin-to-skin contact, and the CHP reported a significant rise in cases in Hong Kong from August 2026, with outreach staff visiting saunas to promote prevention. The Department of Health offers the mpox vaccine to higher-risk groups, including people with high-risk sexual practices, at its clinics, including the Yau Ma Tei Integrated Treatment Centre (some extra sessions need a booking); the CHP mpox hotline (2125 2373, daily 09:00–18:00) can advise. Check eligibility for visitors before you go. If you develop a rash, fever or swollen glands after a trip, see a doctor and mention where you've been.

Indoors only. Hong Kong's public-decency laws apply in parks, beaches and public toilets. Keep it to licensed private venues. As anywhere, consent applies inside too: you can always say no, or leave.

Practical tips

• Getting there: the MTR reaches every district here (Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, North Point, Jordan, Mong Kok). Tap in with an Octopus card, which also pays at convenience stores. The Island trams ("ding dings") run right along Hennessy Road past Soda and My Way.
• Before and after: do as locals do and eat first at a cha chaan teng: Hong Kong-style milk tea, a pineapple bun (bo lo bao), or an egg tart while it's still warm. For a drink first near CE Sauna, the bars of SoHo and Lan Kwai Fong are a short walk away: Time Bar (rear of 65 Hollywood Road, entrance on Man Hing Lane, listed as open Monday to Saturday 18:00–02:00) and Petticoat Lane (8/F, California Tower, 30–32 D'Aguilar Street, known for drag shows) have long been gay bars; FLM, at 62 Jervois Street in Sheung Wan, is a little further west. These listings are from 2023–2025, so check their social media before heading over. Late at night, a bowl of wonton noodles in Wan Chai is the classic way home.
• Bring: cash, ID or passport for age pricing, and the venue's phone number. Hours change often; a two-minute call saves a wasted trip across the harbour.
• Apps: Grindr is widely used.

Pride and events

Hong Kong Pride started in 2008 and is usually held in November. For 2026 the organisers announced a free Rainbow Market at Central Market on Saturday 14 November (12:00–19:00), under the theme "Step Out for All, Show Up With Pride". In mid-October, local media reported that Central Market had withdrawn the booking, with the operator blaming an administrative error that let the same date to two events. The organisers said they had signed in June and paid a deposit in July, apologised, and promised to keep trying and to announce new arrangements in due course. Check their website and social media before you plan around it.

The last street march was in November 2018. Since then Pride has been a rally (2019), online (2020), and markets or exhibitions. 2025 had venue trouble too: a planned festival on the Kwun Tong waterfront lost its site, and the Rainbow Market moved into a shared indoor space in Kwun Tong.

In November 2023 Hong Kong hosted the Gay Games (3–11 November), co-hosted with Guadalajara, Mexico, after a year's delay because of Covid. The opening ceremony was held at Queen Elizabeth Stadium in Wan Chai, a few streets from Gateway Sauna, in spite of some lawmakers' calls to ban the event.

Frequently asked questions

Which gay saunas are open in Hong Kong in 2026?

Recent 2026 visitor reviews point to five working venues: CE Sauna in Central, Gateway, Soda and My Way in Wan Chai, and Chaps in North Point. HuTong in Mong Kok has been shut on health advice since 13 October 2026, and Big Top and Manly Sauna in Kowloon could not be independently confirmed. Call ahead before you go.

Is HuTong in Mong Kok open?

Not at the moment. It reopened after its first mpox closure in May and June 2026, but health officials advised it to close again on 13 October 2026, and no reopening date had been announced by mid-October. Check its official channels before going.

How much does a gay sauna cost in Hong Kong?

Roughly HK$128 to HK$160 for a standard adult entry, with big discounts for younger guests. CE Sauna lists HK$150 standard and HK$80 to HK$120 for younger age bands, Chaps lists HK$128, and visitors report about HK$150 at Gateway and HK$160 at Soda. Some offers apply only to Hong Kong ID holders, so carry ID and cash.

Are same-sex partnerships legal in Hong Kong?

No. Sex between men has been legal since 1991, but in September 2023 the Court of Final Appeal ordered the government to create a framework for same-sex partnerships within two years, and on 10 September 2025 the Legislative Council rejected the government's partnership bill by 71 votes to 14. The deadline passed without a registration scheme, and none exists in 2026.

When is Hong Kong Pride 2026?

It was planned as a free Rainbow Market at Central Market on 14 November 2026, but the venue withdrew in October, citing a double booking. The organisers said they would announce new arrangements in due course, so check their channels before November.
