Lombok · Nusa Tenggara Barat

Ninety degrees.
Then three.

Saunas, ice baths and wellness zones engineered for an island that is thirty degrees in the shade. Designed, built and commissioned here — not flat-packed and shipped in.

The principle

Two rooms. One ritual.

Heat opens you up. Cold shuts you down. The interesting part is the switch between them — which is exactly the part most installations get wrong, because they build one and bolt the other on later.

90°C

The heat

A traditional room, 80–100 °C at the upper bench, 10–20% humidity, and real löyly when water hits the stones. Not a warm cupboard.

What we build

Three things,
done properly.

We are not a showroom. Every build starts with a survey of your actual spot — the power that reaches it, the way water leaves it, and where the afternoon sun lands.

Saunas

Four ways to get to ninety degrees. The right one depends on your site, your power supply and how many people sit down at once — not on which looks best in a photo.

Ice baths &
cold plunges

Anyone can fill a tub with ice. Holding ten degrees in a place that never drops below twenty-four is the actual job — and it is decided by insulation long before it is decided by the chiller.

Insulated shell, filtration, ozone, and a chiller sized against Lombok's ambient rather than a European catalogue. Set it and it holds.

Why it is hard here

Thirty degrees of ambient is a heat pump pointed at your water.

A plunge tub in Lombok is fighting three heat sources at once: air at 28–32 °C, direct solar gain on the shell, and the bather. A chiller rated for a European garden meets that load and never catches up — it runs continuously, ices its own evaporator, and dies inside two seasons.

So we start from the load, not the equipment. Insulate the shell and fit a lid and the chiller you need gets smaller and cheaper. Skip that and no amount of horsepower saves you.

The arithmetic, in full, is in our guide to sizing an ice bath chiller in the tropics — including why buying ice forever costs more than the machine.

The difference

Built for this
island.

A sauna designed for a Finnish winter fails here in specific, predictable ways. Knowing exactly which ways is most of what you are paying for.

Salt eats fixings

Every screw, hinge, band and bracket outside the hot room is A4/316 stainless. A2 looks identical in the shop and is bleeding rust down your cladding within a year of sea air.

The air is already wet

At 85% ambient humidity a hot room cannot dump moisture to the outside the way it does in a dry climate. Ventilation gets designed — inlet low by the heater, outlet high and opposite — not left to a gap under the door. Details in our tropical sauna ventilation guide.

PLN decides your heater

The supply that actually reaches your villa is the real constraint, not the room. We calculate heat load first, then tell you whether you need a supply upgrade — quoted as its own line, never buried.

Water has to leave

Monsoon rain plus plunge splash plus condensate. Falls, channels and a soakaway get drawn before the deck does. Standing water under a timber structure is how you lose it.

Termites are patient

No untreated softwood touches the ground, anywhere. Structures stand on treated bearers or steel, and everything within reach of soil is a species that can defend itself.

Freight is a design input

Everything lands through Lembar or over the Padangbai ferry. Panel sizes, crate dimensions and the width of your access road are part of the drawing, not a surprise on delivery day.

We stay until it is hot

Commissioning is part of the build. We run the room to temperature, balance the ventilation, prove the RCD, and hand it over working — not left as a pile on your deck.

How it works

Survey, drawing,
build, hand over.

No deposit until you have seen a drawing and a fixed price. Nothing about the process should be a surprise.

01

Survey

We come to the spot — or you send photos and dimensions on WhatsApp if you are off-island. We measure, check the supply at the board, and look at where water goes.

02

Drawing & price

A layout, a heat-load calculation, a specification and a fixed price. Usually two working days. Supply upgrades and groundworks are itemised separately, never hidden.

03

Build

Cut, assembled and finished in the workshop, then installed on site. Three to six weeks for a standard cabin; eight to twelve for custom.

04

Commissioning

We run it to temperature, balance the ventilation, test every circuit, and walk you through it. You get the maintenance schedule in writing.

Questions

Answers,
before you ask.

Anything else, message us. We answer the awkward ones too.

How much does a sauna cost in Lombok?

Indicative starting prices are IDR 52,000,000 (≈ USD 3,200) for an infrared cabin, IDR 78,000,000 (≈ USD 4,800) for a barrel sauna, and IDR 125,000,000 (≈ USD 7,700) for an outdoor cabin sauna. Those cover the room and heater. The full installed cost also depends on foundations, drainage, glass and whether your electrical supply needs upgrading, which is why every quote follows a site survey.

Read the full Lombok sauna cost guide → — it itemises the roughly 40% of the bill that is not the cabin. Or see all pricing.

How long does sauna installation take?

Three to six weeks from signed drawing to first use for a standard barrel or cabin sauna, and eight to twelve weeks for a custom built-in room. An ice bath is faster — usually two to three weeks, unless it needs a new deck or a power run. Lead time is driven mostly by freight to the island and by any electrical supply upgrade, both of which we confirm before you commit.

The full process, stage by stage, is on how we work.

Can my villa's power supply run a sauna?

Often, but not always. Many Lombok villas are on a single-phase PLN supply that comfortably runs a small infrared cabin but not a 6 kW-plus stone heater. We check the supply at your board during the survey and tell you plainly whether you need an upgrade or three-phase, and what that costs, before you order anything.

Read the guide to sauna electrical requirements in Lombok → for the heater-kW-to-supply table.

Do you build ice baths as well as saunas?

Yes, and we would rather build both together. The hot room and the cold plunge are one system — the distance between them, the drainage, and where you rest afterwards all matter. We build cedar ice baths and fully chilled cold plunges, with the refrigeration sized against Lombok's ambient temperature rather than a European rating.

How cold should an ice bath be?

Our working range is 8–12 °C, with 15 °C a sensible entry point for beginners. Below 5 °C is specialist territory that should be supervised. Colder is not automatically better — time at temperature matters more than chasing a low number. Never use an ice bath alone or after drinking alcohol, and check with a doctor first if you have a cardiovascular condition, blood-pressure issues, or are pregnant.

Read the ice bath temperature guide →

Can I build a sauna myself in Lombok?

You can build the box. What people get wrong is the parts you cannot see: the vapour barrier, the ventilation path, and the timber choice. Ventilation designed for a cold dry climate barely moves air at 85% humidity, so the room feels stale rather than hot and rot starts inside the wall. Resinous pine on a bench weeps sap and gets hot enough at the knots to burn. Electrical work must be done by a qualified electrician regardless.

If you want to try, we would rather you did it well — start with tropical sauna ventilation and choosing timber for a tropical sauna. Message us and we will tell you honestly whether your plan works.

Do you deliver to the Gili Islands and remote areas?

Yes. We build across Lombok including Kuta, Senggigi, Mataram, Selong Belanak and Sire and Tanjung, and we install on Gili Trawangan, Gili Air and Gili Meno. Island delivery adds a boat transfer and constrains panel sizes, so we design around it from the start rather than discovering it on delivery day.

What that means in practice is on the Gili Islands page — there are no cars, so everything moves by cart.

Do you service what you build?

Yes. Salt air and humidity mean a coastal sauna needs real maintenance, so every handover includes a written schedule. We offer servicing across the island — stone replacement, bench refinishing, seal and fixing checks, chiller service and water treatment. We also service systems we did not build, once we have inspected them.
