Sauna Casanova

The King of Saunas in Barcelona: Sauna Casanova (2026 Official Guide)

Located at Carrer de Casanova, 57, in the heart of the world-famous "Gaixample," Sauna Casanova is not just the biggest sauna in Barcelona—it is officially the largest gay sauna in all of Spain. Spanning over 1,400 square meters across three massive floors, it offers a scale and variety of facilities that set it apart from any other venue in the city.

【The Experience & Facilities】

The sheer scale of Casanova is impressive. The centerpiece is the ground-floor pool area, which feels more like a club than a traditional bathhouse, especially on weekend afternoons when the music is pumping and the lights are low. The venue features multiple 6-person jacuzzis, and a legendary massive steam room that can accommodate over twenty people.

The facilities are well-divided

• The Wet Zone: Featuring a large swimming pool, wet saunas, dry saunas, and open showers.
• The socializing Zone: A labyrinthine maze, relaxation areas, and numerous private rooms (cabanas) for more intimate encounters.
• The Social Zone: A spacious bar and lounge area where you can relax with a drink or snack between sessions.

【The Vibe & Crowd】

Because it is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the atmosphere at Sauna Casanova evolves throughout the day. In the late afternoon and early evening, it’s a popular spot for professional locals stopping by after work. After the bars in Gaixample close (around 3:00 AM), the energy shifts significantly as the party crowd arrives. Sunday afternoons are a ritual for many, often becoming the busiest time of the week with a vibrant, international mix of ages and body types. The crowd leans towards the "muscular and fit" aesthetic common in Barcelona, but all are welcome.

【Practical Information & Advice】

• Admission: Regular entry is approximately €22 (prices may rise during major events like Circuit Festival or Barcelona Pride).
• Promotions: Keep an eye out for special days, particularly Wednesdays, which sometimes feature unique promotions.
• Cleanliness & Safety: While the venue is professional and staff are constantly cleaning, the massive size means some areas are older than others. It is highly recommended to bring your own flip-flops for both hygiene and comfort.
