Banya Forrest was born in 2023 from a simple but powerful idea: to bring the magic of the traditional banya to life in a way that helps people feel good—and feel connected. In a world that’s increasingly fast-paced, digital, and disconnected, we wanted to create a space where people can slow down, breathe deeply, and truly reconnect—with themselves, with nature, and with each other. Inspired by centuries of Slavic wellness rituals, Banya Forrest is more than a place to sweat and soak. It’s a sanctuary for community, conversation, and shared experience. Whether you're seeking deep relaxation, healing warmth, or simply the joy of spending time with others in an authentic setting, our banya invites you to come as you are—and leave transformed.
Banya, a traditional Slavic steam bath, offers a wide range of physical and mental health benefits. The intense heat followed by rapid cooling—often through a plunge pool or jumping into snow —stimulates circulation, boosts the immune system, and helps flush toxins from the body. Regular banya sessions can relieve muscle tension, improve skin health, and support respiratory function through steam inhalation. Beyond physical wellness, banya promotes deep relaxation, reduces stress, and fosters social connection, making it a holistic ritual for both body and mind.
Experience the magic of Slavic wellness traditions, expertly crafted for the modern age at Banya Forrest.
Our Public Area which also hosts our Slavic Restaurant is a cozy, nature-inspired setting that acts as a base for the Banya experience. Here guests can relax, order food, drinks and treatments whilst experiencing our Banya facilities.
A booth in the lounge is perfect for a large group of friends who would like their own privacy. Equipped with its own television and service button, guests can relax together and entertain. We offer 4-seater booths and 6-seater booths with names such as Izba and Chalet, drawing inspiration from cosy wooden houses all over the world.
Our Public wet area houses our signature steam sauna (Banya), the largest in the MENA region. This is where guests can experience the finest quality steam and indulge in our signature treatment ‘Parenie’. The Banya also serves as an excellent venue for conversations with friends as it has been known traditionally as a place for social interactions. To cool down after the Banya, this area also includes our cold plunge pool, snow room and cold-water buckets. Additionally, there are Stone Beds where treatments such as ‘Body Wash’ are carried out by our Banshiks.
Our Private Rooms ‘Taiga’ and ‘Bor’ are sanctuaries of luxury and tranquility, designed for those who desire a private and premium banya experience. These exclusive rooms give guests access to their own authentic steam sauna, private changing rooms, a hot stone treatment area, TV, Karaoke system, and a massage room furnished with meticulous attention to detail to create an ambiance of serenity.

With a wide view over the Arabian Gulf, our outdoor terrace is a tranquil place to recuperate between Banya sessions.
