Thermal Suite and Commercial Spa Contractor
for Five-Star Hotels in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar

Sauna Dekor. We are a thermal suite and commercial spa contractor working for five-star hotels and resorts in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, manufacturing in our own factory in Istanbul since 1987 and installing with our own commissioning crew. Delivered thermal suites include a five-star international hotel in Istanbul, an international hotel and spa in İzmir, a beachfront resort hotel and a diplomatic members’ club in Doha; a 774 m² hotel spa in Ethiopia is currently in delivery. The scope is the whole wet core — hammam, sauna, steam room, cold therapy, showers and relaxation — under one contract.

Duty rating. A hotel sauna runs 16 hours a day, every day, for years, which changes the heating elements, the contactor and the sensor inside otherwise identical looking equipment. Domestic-rated components in a commercial room are the most common cause of early failure.

A workable hotel wet area starts around 150 m² including circulation, changing and plant. The plant room is the line that gets cut first in early planning and is the hardest to recover later.

Typically 9–18 months from concept to opening, of which design and approvals take 3–5 months, manufacture 2–4 months, and installation and commissioning 2–4 months depending on scope.

Whoever owns the interfaces, and often nobody does. Spa projects fail at the joints between the wet room, the MEP and the finishes, which is why design, manufacture and installation under one contract removes the most common source of dispute.

Budget by scope, not by square metre. What sets the figure is the room programme first, because every sauna, steam room, hammam and cold plunge is a separate climate with its own tanking, drainage, ventilation and plant; then the material grade inside those rooms; then how much work the existing shell needs before fit-out can start, which is where riser positions, slab-to-slab height and available electrical capacity decide the number; and finally whether spare parts and a commissioning stock sit inside the package or outside it. Equipment and finishes drive the figure, not area.

DEWA approval for the electrical supply and the connected load, Dubai Municipality sign-off for the fit-out and the wet-area build-up, and Dubai Civil Defence approval for a commercial facility. Imported equipment needs ESMA conformity. We prepare and submit the documentation as part of the scope.

Structural walls, screed base and the building drainage connection; power and a distribution board at each room position; the water supply and drain to each generator; a dry, ventilated plant room held at 25 ± 1 °C; and builder’s work openings. We ask for the shells levelled and handed over, then build up from there.

24-month warranty on workmanship and manufacturing; 24-month manufacturer’s warranty on electrical and mechanical equipment; 5-year warranty on structure and waterproofing. We register the equipment to the project on our account, hold spares for the wear items and supply a maintenance schedule at handover.
