Saunen & Cruising in Ibiza

Finding a classic gay sauna in Ibiza is difficult because, unlike the nightlife, the sauna scene on the island has never really developed. There are hardly any gay saunas or bathhouses here, as you know them from Barcelona or Madrid. Those looking for wellness and steam baths are more likely to find what they are looking for in the spa areas of larger hotels, such as the gay Axel Beach Ibiza in Sant Antoni, which runs a spa with sauna and hammam for its guests.

Instead, what characterizes the island is an open beach and outdoor cruising culture. The most famous meeting place is Es Cavallet in the south, a long natural beach whose rear section has been considered a gay beach for decades. In the dunes behind it, traditional cruising takes place, and the crowd is international and relaxed in summer. People also meet on individual rocky sections of the coast. If you are looking for this, you should observe the usual rules of discretion and consideration, especially because much of it takes place in public spaces. A pure indoor sauna scene does not replace this. But what actually defines Ibiza in this area certainly shapes it. The following tips will show you where a visit is worthwhile.
