Recife, October 2025

New destiny, new thread. This Monday I am arriving to my new base for the following month, an airbnb in Boa Viagem, just one and a half block from the beach, nearby Parque Dona Lindu. It is going to be my first time in the city, so I would highly appreciate any wisdom other friends were willing to share. 

I know there are two GP saunas. Blue Thermas is at walking distance from my new base, but the info I am gathering tells me that it is not the best option. Please, correct me if I'm am wrong. The other sauna is Thermas Boa Vista, and apparently the one I should focus on.

Besides the saunas, any other recommendations will be appreciated.

There are quite a few saunas in Recife. According to the locals I talked to, all saunas in Recife are mixed. I have only been to three: Termas Boa Vista (TBV), Recife SPA Sauna (SPA), and Blue Termas. Personally, I would rank them in that order. Not sure you'll like Blue Termas, I did have fun the one time I visited but it was with another patron. But this was based on a visit, also I didn't stay long. Having said that, since it is so near, why not check it out at least 1 time?

Most of the saunas and gay venues are in Boa Vista area - maybe 20-40 mins Uber from you, depending on the traffic.
