🏠 About SHELTER Sauna
SHELTER is Seoul’s most popular gay cruising club, modeled after Japanese hatten style venues like Volcano and GB-Hunk in Tokyo, and Hu Tong in Hong Kong. It’s especially popular among those who are into muscular and bulky men.
Conveniently located in the heart of Gangnam, SHELTER is easily accessible—just a short walk from Nonhyeon Station (Line 7) or Sinsa Station (Line 3 / Shinbundang Line).
Recently renovated and reopened in April 2024, SHELTER now offers a cleaner and more refined version of its signature dark, discreet, and seductive atmosphere. It provides a safe and comfortable space for men to relax, connect, and explore.

🩲 Theme Nights: Bare Time Schedule
SHELTER recently updated its theme night schedule:
Official bare time now takes place every Wednesday and Friday from 19:00 to 21:00, and additionally on Saturday from 00:00 to 03:00.
That said, many visitors still go bare during Sundays and other peak hours, regardless of the official schedule.
Since weekdays tend to be quieter, the energy and atmosphere of theme nights can vary depending on the crowd.
🔥 Popular Days & Crowd Levels
Popular days are Wednesdays, Fridays and weekends, especially Sunday afternoon from 4pm onwards as shown below.
In the event that it becomes excessively crowded, particularly after 5pm on Sundays, lockers may not be available. This may require you to use plastic bags to store your clothes and shoes, which will then be kept at the reception. However, this may not be an ideal situation for foreigners.
