Johor Bahru is Malaysia's gateway city that travelers love as an affordable base for exploring both Malaysia and nearby Singapore. Plus, JB's famous food culture serves up some of the country's best laksa and satay. The city's LGBTQ+ scene is quite underground due to Malaysia's conservative laws, but there's a small, discreet community that connects through private events and social media.

Exclusively male sauna & gym, attracting a mostly local crowd. Facilities at The Maze include a jacuzzi, steam room, café and and number of private cabins.
Curious about the name? The sauna is truly like a maze, with exciting things to discover with every turn. Try to find the jacuzzi room through the sound of water falling from the ceiling, which you can hear as you go through The Maze's hallways.
