Sauna Dekor builds swimming pools, hydrotherapy pools, infinity pools, Olympic-size competition pools, prefabricated pools and ornamental pools. We are a pool builder and turnkey contractor for hotels, resorts and private villas in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, manufacturing in Istanbul since 1987 — our 40th year — with projects delivered in more than 35 countries. Each of those is a different engineering problem: a hydrotherapy pool is a plant and water-treatment problem, an infinity pool is a weir and balance-tank problem, an Olympic pool is a dimensional-tolerance problem, and an ornamental pool is a waterproofing and circulation problem. We work with local partners so that the pool meets the authority requirements, sits correctly in the architecture and is coordinated with the MEP design. From the earliest design to the final handover, we make sure that every pool, whether it's for a private home, a hotel, or a company, meets the highest standards of quality, safety, and performance.
The pool types we build: swimming, hydrotherapy, infinity, Olympic, prefabricated and ornamental
At Sauna Dekor Spa Solutions, we offer end-to-end solutions that set us apart from ordinary pool companies. Homeowners, architects, engineers, general contractors and project developers who need dependable and reliable partners who can provide the following services are our target customers:
Working with the architect, the MEP consultant and the authority
A pool is decided in three drawings that are not the pool: the structural drawing, the MEP drawing and the authority submission. This is how we work with the design team:

What Drives the Scope of a Pool Package
Scope on a pool package is driven by a short list of decisions:
Scope Drivers
We issue an itemised scope once the pool type, the water level detail, the finish and the plant are fixed.
Pool Resurfacing, Re-tiling and Plant Renewal
On a refurbishment we strip back to the shell:

Pool engineering in a Gulf climate
For roughly half the year the problem in the Gulf is water that is too warm, not too cold, which turns the chiller from an upgrade into the item that decides whether a pool is swum in through the summer. That, along with construction method, approvals and programme, is worked through on our page about building a swimming pool in Dubai.
Bring the pool indoors and the governing system changes again: a heated indoor pool evaporates litres of water an hour, and if that moisture is not removed continuously it condenses on the coolest surface in the room and works on it. Dehumidification, air balance, glazing and structure for an enclosed pool are covered on our page about indoor pools in Dubai.
Frequently asked questions
Why does a pool in Dubai need a chiller, not just a heater?
Because for roughly half the year the water is too warm rather than too cold. In most of the world a pool only ever needs heating; in the Gulf, the ability to hold the water at a refreshing temperature in July is exactly what determines whether the pool is used or avoided for five months of the year. On our projects the chiller is sized at concept stage, together with its plant space and its heat rejection route, rather than added afterwards.
Concrete, fibreglass or prefabricated — which pool construction suits a Gulf project?
It depends on what the project is optimising for. Custom concrete, built in place, offers unlimited design freedom and takes tile, mosaic or stone, infinity edges, raised spas and integrated features, which is why it remains the standard for villa and hotel projects. Fibreglass shells install faster and are simple to maintain in standard shapes. Prefabricated pools are the quickest route where programme is the binding constraint. The trade is design freedom against speed.
Why is dehumidification the critical system in an indoor pool?
Because a heated indoor pool evaporates litres of water into the air every hour, and moisture that is not continuously removed condenses on cooler surfaces and degrades them. Dehumidification holds relative humidity in a controlled band, prevents condensation on glass and walls, protects the building structure and keeps the hall usable. It is not an optional upgrade; it is the system the whole room depends on.
Who builds hydrotherapy pools and wellness pools for spas?
Sauna Dekor. We design, manufacture and install pools and hydrotherapy pools for hotel spas, wellness centres and private residences in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and beyond, manufacturing in İstanbul since 1987. Because we also build the saunas, steam rooms, hammams and cold plunges that sit around them, the pool is engineered as part of one wet-area package — shared tanking, shared plant space and one set of drawings — rather than as a separate trade.
