Custom sauna & wellness suites — Bel Air to Malibu
A private wellness suite, built into your home.
Custom saunas, cold plunge, steam, and red light — designed and built as one integrated space for high-end homes in Bel Air, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, and Malibu. Not a product dropped into a room. A suite built to last.
The complete build
Every element planned, sequenced, and finished together.
A custom sauna, cold plunge, or steam room is one of the most demanding spaces you can add to a home — heat, humidity, water, and structure, all wired into the house. Done right, it feels effortless. Done piecemeal, it becomes the room you keep fixing.
Akopi Builders plans the layout, materials, waterproofing, ventilation, electrical, glass, tile, wood, chillers, generators, controls, and lighting as a single build — so your wellness suite reads as intentional from the first day and holds up for the long run.
What we build
Four disciplines, one integrated suite.
-
Custom Saunas
Indoor and outdoor cedar and hemlock saunas built around your home — wood selection, heater sizing, glass, bench layout, controls, and the surrounding finishes, coordinated as one build.
-
Cold Plunge
Indoor or outdoor cold plunge, tiled or stone-clad, with the drainage, filtration, chiller planning, and waterproofing done properly so it reads as architecture, not an appliance.
-
Steam Rooms
Sealed steam environments with correct waterproofing, sloped ceilings, tile, glass, seating, generator planning, and ventilation — integrated into a spa bath or a dedicated recovery room.
-
Red Light Therapy
Dedicated red light and recovery zones planned into the suite — panel placement, low-voltage, dimming, finish materials, and the electrical coordination that keeps it clean and built-in.
Projects typically begin at $35,000
Why homeowners choose Akopi Builders
We build the whole suite — not the box.
- Most sauna companies sell you a box. Most remodelers build you a room. Akopi Builders delivers the complete wellness suite — planned, sequenced, and finished to the standard of the rest of the home.
- A private sauna, cold plunge, or steam room is a wet, high-heat, high-humidity environment wired into your house. It needs waterproofing, ventilation, drainage, electrical, and structural coordination — not just nice wood and a good heater.
- We coordinate every trade, protect the surrounding finishes, and hand back a space that feels built in from the first day — the kind of detail that separates a suite that lasts from one that becomes expensive to fix.
How it goes
A clear path from idea to finished suite.
-
Consultation
We learn how you want to use the space, where it goes, and the level of finish you expect.
-
Site & Budget
We review structure, access, utilities, ventilation and waterproofing needs, and set a realistic budget range early.
-
Design & Materials
We coordinate wood, stone, tile, glass, heaters, chillers, generators, lighting, and controls into one direction.
-
Build & Walkthrough
We manage sequencing, trade coordination, and finish-level execution — then review comfort, controls, and maintenance.
Questions
Frequently asked.
- Can you build a full wellness suite, not just a sauna?
- Yes. A suite can combine a sauna, cold plunge, steam room, red light and recovery zone, changing area, and spa bath. We coordinate the entire construction side — layout, waterproofing, ventilation, electrical, glass, tile, wood, lighting, and finishes.
- Do you build indoors and outdoors?
- Both. Wellness spaces work indoors, outdoors, or poolside. The right direction depends on the home, available space, access, utilities, privacy, and the finish level you want.
- Will you work with my architect or designer?
- Yes. If you already have a designer or architect, we coordinate the construction details and turn the concept into a buildable, finished space.
- What areas do you serve?
- We focus on high-end homes across the Westside — Bel Air, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and the surrounding Los Angeles area.
