Part of the Gay Puerto Vallarta Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco
Four-floor gay bathhouse open since 2012 with rooftop pool and city views
Spartacus is a men-only gay sauna spread across four floors in the Zona Romántica, open since 2012. Inside there's a dry sauna and steam rooms, a jacuzzi, private cabins, showers, a video lounge, and massage on offer, while the roof opens up to a terrace with an outdoor pool, sun deck, and a small bar, the outdoor space is what sets it apart from most bathhouses in town. Local guides describe it as the area's only strictly men-only sauna complex. The crowd is a relaxed mix of locals and visitors across a wide age range, busiest after midnight and on weekends and holidays. For travelers, it's a central, easy-to-find option in the gay district, and the rooftop gives it a more social, daylight-friendly dimension than the windowless norm. Bring the usual expectations of a bathhouse and you'll know whether it's your scene.

Puerto Vallarta's gay resorts sit within a few blocks of each other in the Zona Romántica and on the Amapas hillside above it. Here is what each property's own site says about who it is for, which pools are clothing-optional, what a night costs, and which ones sell day passes, from Almar's beach club to the seven-room men-only Piñata PV.
