Sauna Aquarius - Oostende

Sauna Aquarius is the only gay sauna in Ostend, set in a handsome turn-of-the-century townhouse in the heart of the Belgian coastal city, and has been run since 1994. Across its cozy floors, it offers a Finnish sauna, a Turkish steam bath, a jacuzzi, a solarium, a TV lounge, a mirror room, private cabins, a maze, and a bar. It runs men-only gay sessions on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday afternoons, with mixed couples-and-bi theme nights on Wednesdays and Saturdays, drawing a friendly, mostly mature crowd. Clean and welcoming, with a sister sauna in Ghent, it's an easy, characterful stop on the coast.
