Atlantis Sauna

Atlantis is a spacious gay sauna and wellness resort in Ludwigshafen am Rhein, near Mannheim, with a distinctly holiday, southern feel across more than 1,700 square meters. Its highlights are an 800-square-meter nudist garden, a Japanese Zen garden, and the largest swimming pool in the region, alongside three saunas, a solarium, massage, and a bistro-bar, plus a dedicated cruising wing with a BDSM area, slings, and video rooms. Mainly a men's and gay venue with dedicated bear days, it also hosts occasional mixed parties open to women, so it's worth checking the calendar before you go. Cozy and classic rather than sleek, it's loved for its relaxed, resort-like atmosphere.
