Dubai's wellness scene has a bold new arrival: Sacra, the city's first Russian bathhouse, is set to open on 17B Street in Jumeirah in March 2026 — and it is billed as the largest bath and wellness complex in the entire Middle East.
Spanning three levels and 2,400 square metres, Sacra is designed around the age-old idea of contrast — heat and cold, stillness and recovery, ancient ritual and modern innovation. Thoughtfully separated spaces for men and women run throughout the complex.
The Banya Chamber: Largest of Its Kind in the Middle East
The centrepiece of Sacra is its 50-square-metre Russian banya chamber, the biggest of its kind in the region. Powered by a 55-tonne gas heating system, the chamber delivers a fully authentic banya experience using hot air, steam, water, and traditional herbal whisks made from fir, birch, and oak — a time-honoured ritual proven to improve circulation, ease muscle tension, and encourage deep physical and mental relaxation.
Full Hydrothermal Journey
Beyond the banya, Sacra offers a comprehensive hydrothermal circuit. Guests can move through a Turkish hammam, Finnish sauna, speciality steam rooms, jacuzzis, ice baths, cold plunge barrels, a cryotherapy chamber, pressure chamber, floating therapy zone, and a salt grotto designed to support respiratory health and skin renewal. A full menu of massages, spa rituals, and personalised body treatments is delivered by expert therapists.
Three Exclusive VIP Suites
For guests seeking total privacy, Sacra features three themed VIP Suites. The Chalet Suite evokes a luxury alpine retreat; the Moroccan Suite draws on calming garden tones and natural textures; the USSR Suite brings a nostalgic warmth with rich red wood and vintage detailing.
Dining at Sacra Restaurant
Food is a core part of the Sacra experience. The Sacra Restaurant brings together Mediterranean flavours, premium steakhouse classics, and Eastern European comfort dishes, alongside wellness-focused plates and a dedicated caviar menu — a signature flourish from Bulldozer Group, the hospitality company behind luxury Dubai brands Dragonfly and La Baia.
SKIN 111 Longevity Clinic
Completing the offering is SKIN 111, a wellness and longevity clinic housed within the complex, providing advanced medically led treatments aligned with Sacra's holistic, full-spectrum approach to wellbeing.
Bulldozer Group's First Wellness Venture
Sacra marks Bulldozer Group's first major step into the wellness sector in Dubai. Alexander Orlov, Founder and CEO of Bulldozer Group, said the concept reflects Dubai's growing appetite for elevated wellness experiences — a place designed not just for relaxation, but for genuine renewal that extends beyond the visit itself.
