Wet is one of Melbourne’s most popular saunas. Staggering distance from the Collingwood bars, it’s busiest on Friday and Saturday nights. With its very busy steam room, a cosy spa and sauna, bar and Greco-Roman decor downstairs, and a cruising maze upstairs with porn lounges, private cubicles and not-so-private areas, you can lose yourself here for hours. What differentiates this venue from the others is that it is the only one that has a 25m lap pool, which is a nice way to cool off. Wet tends to attract the younger crowd. Definitely a pleasant way to spend an afternoon or evening.
162 Wellington St, Collingwood. Mon-Thu noon-2am; Fri-Sun open 24 hours.
