Riela is a contemporary bathhouse at Calle de Apodaca, 20, in Justicia, opened in 2025. The name comes from the Spanish rielar, the shimmer of moonlight on the sea. It is inspired by Roman thermae, Japanese onsen and Russian banya, and was designed by Barcelona studio Oficina Satélite.

The official circuit is a 60 minute self-guided session after a short introduction on the first visit: a 90°C Finnish sauna, a 50°C hammam, a mineral hot pool listed at 40°C on the homepage and 42°C in the FAQ, cold plunges at 4°C and 8°C, and a heated granite stone. Spaces are mixed and shared. Guests must be 18 or over, bring a swimsuit, and leave phones out of the bathing areas. The founder, Tono Mandly, has said Riela does not sell massages or treatments.

Booking is through Momence, linked from the official site, with session passes, memberships and gift cards. Press in July 2026 mentioned a second, larger Madrid location as a plan, not an open venue. This listing is for the Apodaca house only.
