What makes Sauna Paraíso stand out
Paraíso belongs to the same group as Octopus but targets a younger crowd. Under the brick vaults are a heated pool, a large jacuzzi, Finnish sauna, Turkish steam bath and colour light therapy, plus 30 private cabins, three darkrooms, a cinema and a BDSM zone with cell, St Andrew’s cross and sling. Massages cost €30 (standard) or €50 (premium) and are booked at reception.
It’s open non-stop at weekends and on public holidays. The sauna announces parties and discount deals on Instagram and Facebook.
Atmosphere and crowd
The crowd is young and colourfully mixed, and in the evening and at weekends the mix of ages and types is at its widest. It’s busiest at the weekend, especially on Sunday afternoon. Many guests consider Paraíso the best sauna in Madrid and praise the atmosphere, location and special spaces.
A good fit if you …
- are looking for a large sauna with a young crowd
- like special spaces such as the vaults
- want lots going on on a Sunday afternoon
Not ideal if you …
- are mainly looking for bears and mature men, Octopus is the better choice for that
- have trouble with steep stairs
- don’t want a cruising area
