About Sanctuary
Sanctuary Studios LAX is a professional BDSM dungeon and kink studio at 13012 Athens Way in Los Angeles, close to the airport. Its own site calls it a dungeon and studio rather than a swinger club.
The building runs to more than 5,000 square feet. A 2,000 square foot main showroom anchors it, with a stage measured at 12 by 16 feet carrying sound and lighting.
The studio serves several audiences at once. It names experienced players, professional dominants, curious first-timers, and filmmakers seeking an authentic dungeon location.
Two things happen here. The space rents by the hour for private sessions and shoots, and it hosts a public calendar of classes, socials, and play parties.
What to Expect at Sanctuary
Independent theme rooms sit around the main showroom. A dressing area with a makeup station, a patio, a kitchenette, and shower facilities support both sessions and events.
Equipment and supplies are part of the rental. The studio lists private playrooms, specialized BDSM equipment, clean towels, cleaning supplies, air conditioning, and on-site parking.
The calendar is busier than a single club night. Listings mix dungeon play parties, kinky karaoke, a grappling night, flogging instruction, and a newcomer event called ENTRANCE.
Community programming runs alongside the play. A SoCal polyamory support group and a support session for D-types both appear on the schedule, in person and online.
Who Can Attend
This is a kink venue rather than a swinger club, so the audience is the BDSM and fetish community. Newcomers are named directly alongside experienced players.
Rentals are open to professionals and to private individuals. Dominants and switches book sessions, and photographers, filmmakers, and production companies book the space for shoots.
Professional BDSM rentals cost $100 an hour. Rates for photo, video, personal, and private bookings are not published on the public pages.
An age requirement is not published, and neither are ticket prices for most events. Several listings simply note that tickets are available.
