Experience the Far Infrared Sauna at Oakwell Beer Spa
Enjoy a rejuvenating spa experience at Oakwell Beer Spa. Our infrared saunas warm your body directly, so they feel gentler than a traditional sauna.
Sit back, relax, and soak up Oakwell Beer Spa’s Infrared Sauna’s gentle heat. It gets you sweating and helps tense muscles relax.
What is an Infrared Sauna?
While traditional saunas involve increasing the room's temperature to kickstart the body's sweat, far infrared saunas use infrared light to warm your body directly, so you sweat at a lower air temperature.
When relaxing in the Infrared Sauna at Oakwell Beer Spa, your body temperature rises and you start to sweat, much like during moderate exercise, while the air around you stays comfortable.
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. In a sauna, it warms you the way sunshine warms your skin on a cool day, 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. That’s why the heat feels a bit like a light workout, and why it’s worth taking breaks and drinking water.
Gentler Heat
An infrared sauna warms your body directly instead of heating the air, so it works at lower temperatures than a traditional sauna. If a classic sauna feels too hot, this one is easier to enjoy.
A Good Sweat
Your heart rate rises as you relax and sweat in the sauna, much like during moderate exercise. It isn’t a workout, but it feels like one, without the effort.
You lose fluid as you sweat, so drink water before and after your session.
Muscle Relaxation
Saunas have been used for thousands of years to relax the body and mind. Oakwell Beer Spa brings that tradition into your private spa suite.
The warmth helps tight muscles let go, which is why a sauna feels so good after a long day or a workout.
Pair it with the cool rain shower and the warm bath in your suite for a full hot-and-cool circuit.
Stress Relief
Sitting in gentle heat is one of the oldest ways to unwind, and the sauna in your suite is yours alone.
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.
Step out whenever you feel too warm, cool off, and go back in if you like.
Wellness Benefits of a Far Infrared Sauna
Infrared saunas give you the warmth and sweat of a sauna at a lower air temperature, so you can relax without the blast of heat.
What to Expect From Your Infrared Sauna Experience at Oakwell Beer Spa
Oakwell Beer Spa’s cozy taproom and luxury spa services create a relaxing atmosphere. Although we offer a unique experience, we like to keep things simple and stress-free.

The Private Spa Suite is the highlight of Oakwell Beer Spa, which you can enjoy during your Infrared Sauna appointment.
This modern, luxurious room fits one to two people. Each room has an infrared sauna, rain shower, and beer bath hydrotherapy tub.
Start your Beer Therapy Circuit with a 20-minute infrared sauna session to warm up and work up a sweat. Then rinse off and sink into your beer bath blend of hops, malted barley, and herbs.
During your Private Spa Suite session, the sauna and beer bath help you relax, ease tense muscles, and take the pressure off your joints.
To get the full wellness experience, you’ll spend 20 minutes warming up in the sauna, cool off in the rain shower, then spend the rest of your time relaxing in your warm bubbly beer bath.
Taproom
The cozy taproom oasis at Oakwell Beer Spa offers various craft beverages from local producers, including beer, wine, kombucha, and non-alcoholic drinks.
We also host tap takeovers with local breweries!
Start your experience at Oakwell Beer Spa in the taproom, come back between treatments, or kick back with a beverage afterward. If you'd like to enjoy a drink in your Private Spa Suite, keep it cold and fresh by using one of our special triple-insulated tumblers.

Our promise to all Oakwell Beer Spa guests is to provide a safe, clean and sanitized environment. We take pride in our strict cleaning procedures to ensure each visit feels like it’s the first time your Private Spa Suite, including the sauna, has been used.

Infrared Sauna 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!
How is an infrared sauna different from a traditional one?
Infrared heaters warm your body directly instead of heating the air around you, so the air stays cooler than in a traditional sauna. That’s the core difference between infrared and traditional saunas: the heat feels gentler, yet you still work up a good sweat.
Is an infrared sauna really good for my health?
Yes, in the ways you can feel. The gentle heat makes you sweat and raises your heart rate much like moderate exercise, and tight muscles loosen as you warm up. Studies of regular sauna bathing have also linked it with lower blood pressure and a healthier heart, though most of that research looked at traditional saunas.
Is an infrared sauna safe?
For most healthy adults, yes. No harmful effects have been reported from infrared saunas, and infrared has none of the ultraviolet in sunlight. The main downside is fluid loss, so drink water and stand up slowly. If you’re pregnant or have a heart or blood pressure condition, check with your doctor first, as our health and safety FAQs advise.
How long should I stay in the sauna?
Most guests spend 15 to 20 minutes in the sauna at a time, then cool off in the rain shower or soak in the tub. If you’re new to saunas, start with a shorter round and step out whenever you feel too warm; your 90 minutes in the suite leave time for a few rounds.
Can I drink before or during the sauna?
Yes, in moderation, and water first. You can take your drink into the sauna in the insulated tumbler, but alcohol in the heat makes you lose fluids faster, so keep it light, sip water and take breaks. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded, step out, cool off in the rain shower and rest.
Is the infrared sauna good after a day of skiing?
It’s a cozy way to thaw out. The sauna’s gentle heat relaxes tense muscles, then the rain shower and a warm soak in the tub do the rest. For a full après-ski evening, add a drink in the taproom or a Zero Gravity Massage.
How do I make the visit a whole wellness day?
Pair your suite time with a Zero Gravity Massage and a slow drink in the taproom, then keep the rest of the day easy. A simple wellness day in Highlands Ranch adds a walk along the High Line Canal and a relaxed dinner nearby.
Where can I experience the infrared sauna?
Inside your own Private Spa Suite at Oakwell Beer Spa Downtown Denver or Oakwell Beer Spa Highlands Ranch. The sauna comes with every package, along with the rain shower and the tub, so there’s nothing to book separately.
