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.

This modern, luxurious room fits one to two people. Each room has an infrared sauna, rain shower, and beer bath hydrotherapy tub.

During your Beer Therapy Room session, the sauna and beer bath helps promote calmness, cleanses skin of bacteria and toxins, encourages healthy hair and skin, alleviates muscle and joint pain, and boosts digestion and metabolic rate.
To get the full wellness experience, you’ll spend 20 minutes detoxing in the sauna, get your blood flowing in a cold 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 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
Super unique and relaxing experience! Loved everything! The staff were excellent and so kind. We definitely recommend the oakwell escape!
What a great place to celebrate our 40th anniversary! From walking in the door to waving goodnight, my wife and I were delighted by the pampering we received at Oakwell Beer Spa. With refreshments in hand we enjoyed time in our private sauna/tub and a massage in the zero-chairs. In the end, we left knowing we would be back for another visit.
I had some booking confusion online where my phone had said I initially made a reservation, but it turns out it never went through. 100% my fault for not checking my email and verifying it. I checked the next day with the staff, and they verified that I did not have one. I was really bummed as I was looking forward to this on my last day of vacation. The staff was super great and offered free massages and drinks to help make up for the confusion. I offered to pay for the massages/drinks and they said to not worry about it and they would be on the house as a gesture. The services we were provided were fantastic, however, we did end up paying for both the massages and drinks. I don't want to sound unappreciative as I was willing to pay for the services initially, but there seemed to be some confusion when we got there and it was a little disappointing to have had pay when we were told it was going to be on them. It is what it is. We still had a great time, and we will definitely be back once we come back again next summer. EDIT - They made it right when they didn't have to and shows how well run this place is. We will for sure be back next summer and will bring all our friends and family with us too.
We had the best time celebrating a birthday!
Hey, just got back from our first visit to Oakwell! It was a (70th) birthday gift from my most excellent wife! We had recently heard of Oakwell, and it just sounded like a very cool concept. Very attentive staff, and they all really seemed to enjoy working working there. Cool decor, very relaxed, just awesome. As for the beer - I had the IPA, and my wife had the pilsner - both excellent. Next an infrared sauna, then the hot tub infused with various hops and herbs (no yeast - the tub does not contain beer, just the hops), relaxing and was also very nice on the skin. We had a nice charcuterie as well! This place is great. Next time you want a celebration, Oakwell would be a great option. They have a monthly membership too at a good rate, FYI.
Professionals and great and friendly staff
Megan was amazing. Very sweet and amazingly informative. The 2 men i cant remember their names were so helpful as well. Would fully recommend and absolutely will be back.
Yesterday was my first time at the beer spa. It was very clean and the staff was very accommodating. It was a lot of fun.
My husband and I have been here twice and love it! We even signed up for the monthly membership after our second visit. It is such a relaxing experience and the staff are incredible!
We love it so much that we purchased a membership!!
My wife and I really enjoyed our little spa day at Oakwell. The service is world class, and the amenities are pretty unbeatable. They offer a great selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to suit everyone's taste. We loved relaxing in the whirlpool and sweating it out in the infrared sauna. The tasty little chocolates were also a nice addition.
Came here on our mini-moon after our wedding. It transcended our expectations and left us relaxed and smiling for the rest of the day. Quite a private, personal experience that I would recommend to couples, but also friends can enjoy it as well. Nice touches like complimentary salty snacks, slippers, robes and more. We will be back 10/10.
Booked this for a birthday surprise for my boyfriend while on vacation. Everything was perfect! From the communication beforehand and attention given to us by all the employees, they treated us like we were the only guests there (even though we weren’t!) Beer options were plentiful, entire place was extremely clean, and they literally think of everything. Not from the Denver area but will definitely go back on our next trip!
My husband and I celebrated our 10th anniversary here and loved every second. We got the private suite with infrared sauna, shower and large soaking tub, then ended with a massage in the zero gravity chair. I was a little nervous and wasn't sure what to expect since I had never done an experience like this before, but I immediately felt in safe hands as soon as we were greeted at the door. Every person we interacted with was genuine, kind, and guided us through each step of the process. Thank you all for helping us relax and unwind on our anniversary!
Love coming here! The staff is great and the experience is amazing! I do wish the beers changed more often and maybe an extra set of towels!
Everyone that works at this location is so sweet. The experience was so relaxing and great as a couple get away.
Oakwell Beer Spa was one of the highlights of our Denver anniversary trip! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt relaxing, welcoming, and completely unique. The private Beer Therapy Room was the perfect escape—soaking in the warm, aromatic bath while enjoying a cold craft beer made it feel like relaxation had finally been perfected. The space was spotless, the staff was friendly and attentive, and every detail made the experience feel special without being pretentious. It was romantic, fun, and genuinely rejuvenating—an unforgettable way to slow down and reconnect. Oakwell isn’t just a spa visit; it’s an experience worth planning a trip around. If you’re celebrating something special—or simply believe you’ve earned an extraordinary afternoon—this is the place. We left relaxed, refreshed, and already wanting to return. Five stars without hesitation!
My first experience with a beer spa and it did not disappoint. The staff were great and the massage chair was as out of this world!!! I highly recommend.
Phenomenal experience. Definitely recommending friends and family.
HIGHLY recommend! We felt relaxed the moment we walked in. From the friendly staff to the ambience and music of the front room. They had a wonderful selection of state beers/drinks, then we went to our private suite and everything was so dreamy and clean!!! We will definitely be back and recommend to all our friends! Thank you for the wonderful and relaxing experience!
The experience itself was wonderful but what really stood out to me was the staff! Everyone was so friendly and eager to help make our experience great. We ran into an issue with the water pressure of the shower and Alex let us know that they were actively working on the issue and the owners were aware. He went out of his way to provide accommodations for the inconvenience and it was so appreciated! Came for the unique experience and will definitely come back for the great treatment!
Helpful and charismatic staff. Unique and quality design and facility. (Clean). Services met high expectations. Overall great experience.
My husband brought me here for our 5th year wedding anniversary. We've never experienced anything like this so we had no clue what to expect. Megan greeted us with the most pleasant positive attitude. Matt tended us to our room which was set up so beautifully. The staff is SO friendly the experience was amazing! We absolutely loved it. Definitely recommend!
Great people, unique soak. Huge steel tub that fit me & my husband simultaneously (and we are kinda fat so it's a HUGE tub). 90 mins of room time, 70 of tub ... There's a sauna too. Shower pressure could use some work but otherwise fantastic experience.
From check in to departure we had an amazing and relaxing experience! Margie, Lexie, and Paul were professional, gracious, and attentive to anything we needed during our time both in and out of our suite. Fantastic early evening date night-we loved every moment!
Amazing
What a fun and different thing to do
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 are more than welcome to create your own circuit.
How long do guests typically stay in the infrared sauna?
Session length can vary by guest comfort, but most people spend 15 to 20 minutes 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 responsibly in the saunas as well as before and after your time in the sauna. There is also plenty of water available.
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 conditions, 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.
