Magnum Sauna has been at the heart of Budapest's gay scene since 2001, making it one of the longest-running LGBTQ+ venues in the country. Located in the city's 8th district, the sauna occupies two levels and spans around 700 square metres, offering one of the largest dedicated spaces of its kind in Budapest.
The facilities are broad and well developed. Guests have access to multiple sauna options including a Finnish sauna, a bio sauna, a salt room, and an infrared cabin, alongside a steam room, a ten-person jacuzzi, rain showers, and a plunge pool. The venue's cruising areas include a labyrinth and a darkroom, and various cabin types are available throughout. A bar serving hot drinks, soft drinks, and alcohol provides a space to relax and socialise between sessions.
Professional sports and relaxation massage is offered on site by trained masseurs, available daily during set hours. The service is non-sexual and can be booked by phone or in person at reception. Members benefit from reduced massage rates.
Magnum runs a regular programme of themed nights that draw a varied crowd of locals and international visitors. Events include the Dark and Naked Friday, Dark Sunday, UV Party, X-Plore Night, Bear Party, Underwear Party, Wellness Night, and a weekly Aufguss session in the Finnish sauna. The venue also offers a membership scheme that rewards returning guests with discounted entry.
Free WiFi is available throughout the venue. Towels and flip-flops are provided on arrival. The staff are generally English-speaking, which makes the sauna accessible for international visitors.
