Experience the Best Far Infrared Sauna in Denver, Colorado
Enjoy a rejuvenating spa experience at Oakwell Beer Spa in Denver. Our infrared saunas use modern-day technology that surpasses the traditional sauna experience.
Sit back, relax, and soak up Oakwell Beer Spa’s Infrared Sauna’s healthy, healing heat. This technique improves your wellness by encouraging your body to detox, sweat, and alleviate tense muscles.
What is an Infrared Sauna?
While traditional saunas involve increasing the room's temperature to kickstart the body's sweat, far infrared saunas utilize infrared waves that penetrate straight to the cellular level of your body for more significant results.
When relaxing in the Infrared Sauna at Oakwell Beer Spa, your core body temperature rises to encourage sweat and detoxification. With an increase in your body's core temperature, your sweat comes from internal processes rather than external heat.
What is Infrared Light?
Infrared light is a wavelength from the sun known as Infrared Radiation. It's invisible to the human eye and a part of the sun's light spectrum. That said, it doesn't contain UV rays, so it's not harmful to the human body. An infrared sauna experience directly affects your cells and purges toxins from the inside out, which leaves you feeling refreshed.
Infrared Saunas, like we have at Oakwell Beer Spa, harness the safe parts of sunlight to raise your body's heat, increasing your heart rate and enhancing your circulation. This helps improve skin elasticity, promotes healing, and supports weight loss.
Anti-Aging
Releasing sweat and toxins from your body helps rid bacteria and dead skin to promote softness. Infrared rays can also help clear up acne and firm skin against wrinkles, keeping your body feeling and looking radiant, light, and smooth.
Weight Loss
Burn calories while resting? Yes, please! Your heart rate increases when you're relaxing and sweating in the sauna. This tricks your body into thinking it's engaging in cardio, so you burn calories.
In fact, a recent study found that a 30-minute Infrared Sauna session can burn up to 600 calories.
Detoxification
Saunas have been used for thousands of years to clear the body and mind through sweating. Oakwell Beer Spa's modern technology combines ancient spa techniques to form a new and effective way to cleanse your body.
Infrared Sauna rays go an inch and a half into your skin to increase your body’s temperature. This speeds up your heart rate and creates a deep perspiration that shifts toxins and sends them out of the body through sweat.
This deep internal sweat can clear the buildup of nicotine, sodium, cholesterol, and heavy metals from your system.
Pain Relief
If you’re experiencing pain, an Infrared Sauna session can be an effective medicine.
Since your sauna treatment at Oakwell Beer Spa increases your heart rate and makes your body feel like it’s doing exercise, your pulse lifts. This expands your blood vessels and improves overall circulation to relieve tension in the body.
Several studies also show infrared therapy as a helpful treatment for people with arthritis and athletes in recovery.
Wellness Benefits of a Far Infrared Sauna
According to infrared therapy clinical studies, there are numerous Infrared Sauna benefits. Infrared heat activates the sweating process from within, so you can experience relaxation while reaping health benefits too.

The cozy taproom oasis at Oakwell Beer Spa offers various craft beverages from local Colorado producers, including beer, wine, kombucha, and non-alcoholic drinks.
We also host a tap takeover with a different Colorado brewery each month!
Start your experience at Oakwell in the taproom, or wait until after your treatment to kick back with a beverage. If you'd like to enjoy a drink in your Beer Therapy Room, keep it cold and fresh, even in the sauna, by using one of our special triple-insulated tumblers.

What Our Guests Have to Say
My husband and I went to the beer spa for our 5th anniversary and we had the most fun we’ve had in a long time. It was so fun, so relaxing, and so romantic! 10/10 would recommend!!!
Raine T.
We had an incredible time, simple as that. We were in heaven from beginning to end. Beers on tap were fantastic, the service was excellent. The rooms (as you can see from the photos) feel like your own private escape. Highly recommend the Zero Gravity massage at the end, it adds more to the experience than you’d think. Thanks for an incredible evening Oakwell Beer Spa, we will be back!
Uri H.
Can simply not recommend this highly enough! We had an absolute blast. The staff were fun, helpful and just so kind and professional. The spa room was clean, welcoming and the best time I have spent with my husband in a long time. HIGHLY recommend the charcuterie board and the incredible selection of beer, sours and cider. The piece de resistance though was the massage chair. Holy sweet heaven. It was absolutely glorious. GO NOW!!!
Nikki K.
I’ve been to the Beer Spa 5 times now. I think that speaks for itself. It’s a very relaxing experience, even without the massage chairs added on at the end. I always leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. The beer is always local, the rooms are always immaculate, and the service is always friendly and polite. My partner and I love taking trips here, and I can’t recommend it enough.
Gus A.

Nick is The best host ever!!
Christina J.Infrared Sauna in Denver FAQs
Do you have more questions about infrared saunas? If so, we'd love to answer them so you can prepare for and enjoy your next spa experience!
What is an infrared sauna?
An infrared sauna uses gentle infrared heat to warm your body directly rather than heating the air around you. Many guests find it deeply relaxing and a great way to support overall well-being.
How does the infrared sauna fit into the Oakwell experience?
Most guests enjoy the Oakwell wellness circuit: start in the infrared sauna, cool down in the shower, then relax in the beer-inspired hydrotherapy bath. You’re free to customize the order to what feels best for you.
How long do guests typically stay in the infrared sauna?
Session length can vary by guest comfort, but most people spend short intervals in the sauna and take breaks as needed within their 90-minute Private Spa Suite experience.
Are there any side effects of infrared saunas?
Since you sweat a lot and can get dehydrated, it’s common to feel lightheaded after a sauna session. You can alleviate this by drinking plenty of water before and after the sauna. It’s also important to rest your body after your session to entirely reap the benefits.
Can I bring a drink into the sauna?
For comfort and safety, we recommend enjoying beverages before or after your time in the sauna rather than inside the sauna itself.
Are there age restrictions?
Guests must be 14+. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
Are there health considerations?
If you are pregnant, have cardiovascular concerns, or other health issues, please consult your physician before using the infrared sauna or any heat-based experiences.
Do I need to book the infrared sauna separately?
No — the infrared sauna is part of your Private Spa Suite experience and is included with your reservation.
