Close to Hove Station is The Boiler Room, a gay sauna with a large sauna for up to twelve people, steam room, hot tub and private cabins. A licensed lounge bar serves free drinks, light meals and snacks. The program includes Naked Nights, Bears Nights and monthly parties, plus a video room, slings, gloryholes and a smoking yard. Towels and lockers are included.
Located on Madeira Drive, The Gym Brighton is part of The Gym Group and offers cardio equipment and a weight-training area for all fitness levels. The open atmosphere is particularly popular among the LGBTQ+ community. In addition to free training, there are courses ranging from yoga to spinning. Modern changing rooms and showers round off the equipment.
In Brighton's North Laine, YOYO Yard combines wellness and creative hub. In addition to the aspen wood sauna with a Himalayan salt wall, there is a garden under a glass roof, a cold bath from a whiskey barrel and a whirlpool. Infusion ceremonies, infusion ice and salt scrubs are part of the offer, as well as sessions for parents with babies. Eight private studios and a creative space with kitchen and lounge offer 24/7 access.
Finding a gay sauna in Brighton is uncomplicated, because the scene is manageable, but established. The Brighton Sauna is located in Kemptown, within walking distance of the bars on St James's Street. It offers the usual areas such as a Finnish sauna, steam bath, whirlpool and private cabins, and there is a lot going on here, especially on weekends. If you like it bigger, drive a little further to Hove to the Boiler Room Sauna, which offers more space and is open around the clock on weekends, including a chill-out area.
The crowd is mixed: locals, travelers and people who are there for the first time. Some times and evenings are more about cruising, others more about relaxation and wellness. Therefore, pay attention to the current opening hours before visiting, as the more compact address in Kemptown is not open all the time. As a rule, towels, lockers and a relaxation area are part of the equipment, but details differ depending on the house. Because both saunas are centrally located or in Hove, they can be easily combined with an evening in the scene. The following addresses will show you which sauna or cruising address suits your visit.
