For hotels, villa groups & wellness businesses · Bali & Jakarta
We renovate tired sauna rooms into a wellness asset guests notice: new timber, tuned heat, considered light and material details that give them a reason to stay longer and book again.
01 · The problem
Darkened timber, flat light and tired equipment tell guests the property has stopped investing.
A business case, not a cosmetic patch
When the room envelope and services can be retained, renovation can be a more efficient route than building new. We review the existing condition first, then compare the scope openly.
A clearer decision
Send photos for a renovation assessment. We will identify what can be retained, what must be replaced, and compare the scope with a new-build alternative.
Request an assessment01
A well-finished sauna lifts the perceived quality of the whole property — in person and in listing photos.
02
A room guests actually use supports private sessions, spa packages and contrast rituals.
03
Where the envelope is sound, renovation avoids the cost and disruption of full reconstruction.
What changes in the room
This is not a decorative refresh. Every renovation covers the surfaces guests touch and the systems that keep the room safe and easy to run.
Tired surfaces and seating renewed with species suited to the climate, the setting and how hard the room works.
Warm, indirect light built into benches and panels — atmosphere guests photograph, not fittings they squint at.
Backlit natural stone where it supports the character of the property — a signature detail, not a gimmick.
From practical, reliable units to premium systems — sized to room volume, guest flow, controls and budget.
Airflow, clearances and materials specified for a tropical climate and daily commercial use.
Handover includes care guidance, so the room still looks new after a high season, not just on opening day.
A finished room after renovation — light, salt panels and controls in use.
Interior cladding and benches. Stable in heat and humidity, stays comfortable to touch, ages to a deep tone.
Exterior cladding. Holds up to sun and tropical rain, giving the cabin a clean, durable outer skin.
Decking and wet-area surfaces. Dense tropical hardwood for the areas that take water and foot traffic.
Heat is the product
We install Harvia, HUUM and Sangens — from reliable electric units for a busy hotel sauna to premium glass-clad columns that become the centrepiece of the room. Sizing follows room volume, guest flow, controls and budget.
Essential
Harvia-class electric heaters: proven, easy to service and easy for staff to run every day. The right answer for most hotel and villa saunas.
Signature
A larger stone mass holds heat longer and gives a softer, fuller steam when water is added — the difference guests describe as a 'real' sauna.
Premium
Design-led heaters such as HUUM and Sangens. The Sangens W20G, for example, runs 9 kW for rooms up to 17 m³, holds up to 45 kg of stones and is controlled over Wi-Fi from a phone.
Infrared
Where a full steam sauna is not practical, an infrared cabin gives a gentler heat, a smaller footprint and simpler power requirements.
Final heater, controls and power are confirmed per project after the room review.
Three levels of investment
Essential
Focused renewal of timber and heat — a clean, durable result that removes the 'tired' impression.
Signature
New timber, considered lighting and technical choices that support a higher-value guest experience.
Premium
Selected stone or salt, tailored heat and light, and wellness details that make the room a reason to book.
Scope and pricing are confirmed per project after the photo review — we do not quote blind.
The commercial case
Renovation is not only about how the room looks. A sauna guests actually want to use supports paid sessions, spa packages, contrast rituals and day passes — new revenue from space you already own. We deliver sauna renovation across Bali and Jakarta.
