Custom saunas and private spas, designed and built in Dubai
One studio for the whole room: layout, heat and cold engineering, DEWA submission, manufacture, installation and the first service visit. Saunas, steam rooms, hammams, plunges, snow and salt rooms for villas, penthouses and hotels across the UAE.
Twelve rooms, one way of working
Each service page carries real AED ranges, lead times and the technical questions we ask on the first visit. Combine rooms into a suite and the plant room, waterproofing and electrical submission are shared.
Custom sauna
A sauna drawn for your room rather than chosen from a catalogue: bench geometry, glass, heater and ventilation engineered together, then manufactured to drawing and installed by our own team.

Infrared sauna
Full-spectrum and far-infrared cabins that run on a standard circuit, pass building management in towers, and heat the body at 45 to 60 °C without the power draw of a stone heater.
Explore →
Outdoor sauna
A garden sauna that survives the sun: shade structure, ventilated roof cavity, UV-stable cladding and a heater that recovers quickly when the door opens onto a 40 °C evening.
Explore →
Steam room
Wet heat at 43 to 46 °C in a room that is waterproofed like a swimming pool, sized so the generator keeps up, and finished in mosaic, porcelain or micro-cement that photographs as well as it wears.
Explore →
Hammam
The room guests ask to see. A heated marble slab, basins with running water, a dome or a starlit vault, and a steam system that keeps the stone at 40 °C: built in the modern, Turkish or Moroccan register.
Explore →
Cold plunge
The room most often specified wrong in the Gulf. Chillers sized for August inlet water, basins insulated like a freezer, condensers in shade, and water that is changed monthly rather than weekly.
Explore →
Snow room
Real snow in a desert city: a gentle cold room at -2 to -8 °C for guests who will not submerge, built as an insulated cold cell with a snow generator and refrigeration that survives a Gulf plant room.
Explore →
Salt room
A dry, cool room with a halogenerator delivering fine salt aerosol, walls of backlit salt brick and a salt floor, with its own air handling so the room is never open to dust.
Explore →
Hyperbaric oxygen cabin
From a single reclined chamber to a walk-in lounge cabin for two: pressure-vessel certified equipment, an oxygen concentrator, a ventilated room and a service contract, installed by people who understand the whole spa.
Explore →
Villa wellness suite
The whole spa as one drawing: hot rooms, cold rooms and the walk between them, a shared plant room, one waterproofing package and one electrical submission, delivered by one team in sixteen to thirty-six weeks.
Explore →
Commercial spa
Saunas, steam rooms, hammams, snow rooms, plunges, salt and hyperbaric rooms engineered for twelve-hour days and hundreds of guests a week, with drawings for your consultant and a service contract that keeps the suite open.
Explore →
Maintenance & repair
Annual service plans and repairs for every room in a spa, including installations by other companies: heater elements and stones, generator descaling, chiller refrigerant, seals, timber and controls, before the summer breaks them.
Explore →A Finnish drawing does not survive a Dubai August unchanged
Every room we build is adjusted for the six things that break imported spa installations in the UAE. This is the difference between a sauna that smells of resin for a decade and one whose panels split in the second summer.
The room that becomes the social centre of the house
A hammam is the one spa room guests ask to see. We build them in three registers: a modern version with a heated slab and quiet brass, a Turkish version with a dome and carved marble basins, and a Moroccan version in tadelakt and zellige. All three run on a steam system sized for the room, with the heated stone kept at 38 to 42 °C.
- Heated göbek taşı in cream travertine or book-matched marble
- Membrane waterproofing tested for 48 hours before the stone goes down
- Steam generator and slab heating on separate DEWA-approved circuits
Six degrees in August, on a terrace in Dubai
The plunge is what turns a sauna into a recovery routine, and it is the room most often specified wrong here. We size the chiller for Gulf inlet temperatures, insulate the basin like a freezer and put the condenser in shade with real airflow. The result is a plunge that holds 5 to 8 °C through the summer at a running cost of a few dirhams a day.
- Indoor stone basins or outdoor pool-type plunges with a plant room
- Ozone and UV sanitation so the water is changed monthly, not weekly
- Sequenced with the sauna door so the walk between hot and cold is three steps
Four kinds of client, four kinds of drawing
Villa owners
Basement, pool house or garden pavilion. Usually a sauna plus one wet room and a plunge, designed around the family routine rather than a spa brochure.

Sauna Cost in Dubai 2026: Real AED Prices
Turnkey sauna prices in Dubai from AED 28,000 to 260,000, split into cabin, heater, electrical work, DEWA and installation, plus running costs at DEWA tariffs.
DEWA Approval for a Home Sauna or Steam Room
When a sauna heater or steam generator needs a DEWA load change, who submits it, what the drawings contain, what a community NOC adds and how long it takes.

The questions every Dubai client asks first
How much does a sauna cost in Dubai?
A supplied-and-installed infrared cabin starts around AED 28,000. A custom-built indoor sauna for a villa runs AED 65,000 to 140,000 for two to four people, and AED 140,000 to 260,000 when it grows to six or eight seats with a glass wall. Outdoor pavilions and full wellness suites start at AED 180,000 and 350,000 respectively. Read the full price breakdown or see the pricing page.
Do I need DEWA approval for a home sauna or steam room?
For any heater or steam generator above roughly 4.5 kW, yes: a dedicated circuit is added to your DB board and a DEWA-registered consultant submits the load change. Most villas already have the spare capacity; apartments usually do not, which is why infrared cabins dominate there. We prepare the single-line diagram and load calculation as part of every project. How DEWA approval actually works →
How long does a custom sauna take from first visit to first session?
Eight to twelve weeks for a single custom sauna: two weeks of design and approvals, four to six weeks of manufacturing in our production workshops, one to two weeks of shipping and customs, and three to five days on site. Steam rooms and hammams take longer because of the wet works. The whole sequence is laid out on the process page.
Sauna, steam room or hammam: which suits a Dubai villa best?
A dry sauna is the cheapest to run and the easiest to retrofit. A steam room suits an existing tiled bathroom footprint and pairs naturally with a rain shower. A hammam is the most architectural of the three and the one that becomes the social room of the house. Many of our clients in Jumeirah and Emirates Hills end up with a sauna plus one wet room. Compare the three honestly →
Can a cold plunge actually stay cold in a Dubai summer?
Yes, if the chiller is sized for 35 °C incoming water and 45 °C plant-room air rather than a European spec sheet. A properly specified 1.5 to 2 HP chiller with an insulated basin holds 5 to 8 °C in August at a running cost of a few dirhams a day. Chiller sizing for the Gulf →
Can I put a sauna in a Dubai apartment?
Usually yes, with two conditions: the building management issues an NOC, and the heater fits the apartment supply. A 1.7 to 2.4 kW infrared cabin needs no new circuit and satisfies most towers in the Marina and Downtown. A traditional heater is possible in some penthouses with three-phase supply. Apartment saunas, explained →
Which areas do you cover?
All of Dubai, plus Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. We have community-specific pages for Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Hills, Dubai Hills Estate, Jumeirah, Al Barari, Downtown, Dubai Marina, Arabian Ranches, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. Site visits are free everywhere we work.
Can I build a sauna myself?
Part of it, honestly. Framing, insulation, vapour barrier and cladding are within reach of a careful DIYer with a garage and a mitre saw. The heater circuit, the DEWA submission and the glass are not. We wrote a straight guide on what is realistic, and we offer a free consultation for self-builders. The honest DIY sauna guide →
What warranty comes with a Sauna Dubai project?
Two years on our workmanship and waterproofing, plus the manufacturer warranty on heaters and generators, which is two to five years depending on brand. Every project ends with a commissioning session where we run the room with you and hand over the service schedule. Details are on the process page.
