The verdict
A Russian banya on Bluewaters Island: wet steam from a 20-ton stove, a 6°C plunge pool, a snow room and a sea-view terrace, from AED 300.
Give it the full three hours
A single session runs three hours from AED 300: the sauna, the cold plunge, the snow room, a locker, a table in the restaurant and the communal fresh steam ceremony.
Between rounds, lie on the terrace sunbeds facing the sea, then eat Slavic dishes in the licensed restaurant.
Why this one
DUBANYA on the Palm, 4.1 km north-east, is also a true Russian banya with steam masters, rated 4.9 from 155 reviews.
Both have the steam masters. Banya Forrest has the rest of the day around them: a snow room, a terrace over the sea, a licensed restaurant and prices on its own site.
What guests notice
“whenever they add fresh steam, the banya masters turn on music.”
Moris Dellepiane, Google review
“The main downside was that it was quite crowded, so there weren’t always free spots inside the banya itself, and the changing rooms felt a bit small.”
Oksana, Google review
Skip it if
You want the heat to yourself. One guest found the banya crowded on a Monday; book the private banya, or try DUBANYA on the Palm.
