Splash Steam and Sauna

Splash Steam and Sauna is a friendly, laid-back gay sauna in Toronto's Little Portugal, a welcome alternative to the busier downtown bathhouses about 5 km from the Church-Wellesley gayborhood. On the former Central Spa site under new management, it offers a dry sauna, a steam room, showers, cruising areas and relaxing cabins in a clean, unpretentious space that's easy on first-timers. Notably cheaper than the city's bigger venues and open seven days a week, it draws a mixed-age local crowd from their 20s to 50s, with Mondays its famously busy day and a popular Friday-evening locker special.
