Rio's Naturist Spa

Rio's describes itself as “a purpose built spa open 7 days a week”, a naturist health spa on Kentish Town Road in London for adults aged 21 and over. It works on a pay-as-you-use basis with no membership, which the club explains by saying that so many visitors come to central London that a membership would not be fair. Its own site says it has been established for over 20 years and has had a complete refurbishment. The facilities include three steam rooms, two sauna cabins, three large Jacuzzis and a plunge pool. Beyond the wet areas there is a relaxation area where guests can enjoy teas, coffees and soft drinks, which the club describes as “a place to meet new friends”, along with a television lounge, a host of relaxation rooms and an outdoor garden for sunbathing in the summer months that also serves as the smoking area. The spa opens at midday every day, running through the night into the early morning from Thursday to Saturday and closing earlier on the other evenings. Entry is mixed, except on Saturday evenings, when admission is strictly mixed couples only. The club says daytime is calm and a good time for nervous first-timers, while evenings get busier and livelier. Guests must be 21 or over, and the entry page tells anyone under 21 to leave.
