About Manticore Spa

Manticore Spa is Plymouth’s main gay sauna and a useful addition to a city break when you want something more relaxed—or more adventurous—than a bar or club. Facilities include a large steam room, dry sauna, showers, private cabins, darker play areas, a cinema and a licensed social bar. The atmosphere is usually friendly and straightforward, with daytime sessions early in the week and later opening at weekends. Its entrance is discreet: the venue is on the top floor of the building shared with Genting Casino, reached from the rear ground-floor glass door.

What to expect

A compact but well-equipped men’s sauna combining wet facilities, private spaces and an easygoing licensed bar.

I was like a duck out of the water. I didn't really get involved with anyone. Shy I dont know. But it still was a great night.. I will be back and.up for it next time as I know what to expect.

Been coming here for 9 years. Very chilled atmosphere. Non judgemental. All are welcome no matter your looks or body size. Great staff who make you feel welcome. If you nervous about going. Don't be!

Was in Plymouth for the weekend so decided to check this place out, very nice busier then I expected. Staff and customers were friendly and chatty and prices were reasonable. Went on a Friday and Saturday night and enjoyed myself both times. Defiantly worth a visit if in the South West.

Dressing area were you can change into your outfits , lots of admirers well worth a visit Carla xxx

To uncover Friendly welcoming reception staff Large steam room & sauna playroom (with a super swing) 3 glory hole rooms and a bared window viewing room. Dark room could have been darker!! Will return on a weekend to encounter more cruisers. Hope to maybe see a tv/ts & admirers event Please.
