Rio G Spa

Rio G Spa is one of the best-regarded gay saunas in Rio de Janeiro, a clean, friendly multi-level bathhouse right in the heart of Ipanema, a short walk from the beach at Posto 9 and the General Osório metro. Spread over three floors, it offers a dry sauna, steam room, a fitness machine, massage, a video room, a darkroom, private cabins, and an American-style bar, with showers on every level and towels and slippers included. It comes alive in the late afternoon as beachgoers drift in, especially on Sundays, drawing a fit, attractive, and refreshingly no-attitude mix of locals and tourists, and is consistently praised as clean, safe, and welcoming.
