Oakwell Beer Spa, an award-winning day spa celebrated for its beer-inspired wellness experience, is expanding with a second location in Highlands Ranch, set to open on April 7. This expansion comes four years after Oakwell made its debut in Denver’s RiNo district, where it quickly gained recognition for blending hydrotherapy, infrared saunas, and craft beer relaxation into a one-of-a-kind spa experience. By extending its presence to Highlands Ranch, Oakwell is reaching new communities, including Denver, Highlands Ranch, Centennial, and Lone Tree, making its distinctive approach to wellness more accessible to Central and South Denver residents.
As the demand for social wellness experiences continues to rise, Oakwell’s expansion further cements its presence in Denver’s craft beer and wellness scene. The fusion of relaxation, hydrotherapy, and craft beverages has resonated with guests, turning Oakwell into a beloved destination. “Over the past four years, it’s been incredible to see Oakwell resonate with locals and visitors,” said Jessica Zouaoui, Co-Founder of Oakwell Beer Spa. “Guests often ask for more opportunities to experience what we offer, and expanding to Highlands Ranch lets us meet that demand while introducing more people to our unique wellness approach. With two locations now serving greater Denver, we’re excited to provide a space where guests can unwind, connect, and enjoy an elevated yet approachable spa experience—something truly different from traditional spas.”
Oakwell’s expansion into Highlands Ranch marks a significant milestone, not only in terms of growth but also in maintaining the brand’s commitment to delivering an exceptional guest experience. Since its inception, Oakwell Beer Spa has stood out as a first-of-its-kind concept, bringing a fresh and inviting approach to wellness. The new Highlands Ranch location allows Oakwell to refine its offerings while staying true to its roots.
“Expanding into new communities is an exciting next step for the brand,” said Damien Zouaoui, Co-Founder of Oakwell Beer Spa. “As we grow, we remain committed to delivering the same Oakwell experience our guests know and love. Each location allows us to refine our approach—applying lessons in design, guest flow, and operations—while staying true to our identity. Highlands Ranch reflects that vision, integrating our signature elements into a thoughtfully designed space.”
The new location has been designed to enhance relaxation while maintaining Oakwell Beer Spa’s inviting and immersive atmosphere. Every aspect of the space, from lighting to materials, has been carefully curated to elevate the guest experience. Thoughtfully designed lighting, a custom ambient scent, and a well-balanced music selection contribute to a multi-sensory journey of relaxation. The interiors feature natural wood textures, deep green hues, and refined stone finishes, creating a warm and sophisticated ambiance. Layered greenery adds depth and natural flow, while custom lighting enhances the overall experience. The taproom, featuring navy cabinetry, natural wood accents, and Oakwell Beer Spa’s signature self-pour beverage stations, provides guests with a welcoming space to unwind before or after their spa session. Additionally, the expansive outdoor patio offers an inviting setting where walk-in guests can enjoy a craft beverage or a zero-gravity massage without a private spa suite reservation.
Oakwell Beer Spa Opens Second Location in Highlands Ranch
Oakwell’s collaboration with iPourIt, a leading provider of self-pour beer tap walls, continues at the new location. “We’re excited to celebrate Oakwell Beer Spa’s continued growth and the opening of their second location. By pairing relaxation with a social atmosphere, Oakwell has reimagined wellness, and we are honored that the iPourIt self-pour beer tap wall remains part of the experience. We are proud to support their journey as they bring this unique concept to more communities,” said Darren Nicholson, VP of Sales at iPourIt.
The private spa suites at the Highlands Ranch location will accommodate up to three guests, expanding from the two-person occupancy at the RiNo flagship location. Each suite features custom stainless steel hydrotherapy tubs, which blend modern spa luxury with therapeutic benefits. High-end tile, soft lighting, and a nature-inspired aesthetic contribute to a peaceful retreat while maintaining an atmosphere of social connection. To ensure consistency across both locations, the RiNo flagship will undergo renovations later this year, aligning its design with Oakwell’s evolving brand identity.
Guests visiting the Highlands Ranch location can expect the full range of Oakwell Beer Spa’s wellness experiences, including hydrotherapy tubs infused with hops, barley, and therapeutic herbs, infrared saunas, and rain showers designed for full-body relaxation. The zero-gravity massage room, a favorite among RiNo guests, will feature a fiber optic starscape ceiling, creating the illusion of stargazing in the mountains. This unique touch further enhances the tranquil and immersive experience Oakwell is known for.
Beyond its spa offerings, Oakwell Beer Spa remains dedicated to providing a social yet restorative retreat through its taproom experience. Powered by iPourIt’s self-pour technology, guests can enjoy a rotating selection of local craft beers, wines, ciders, kombuchas, and zero-proof beverages. This approach allows for a relaxed and personalized beverage experience that complements the spa’s overall atmosphere.
As Oakwell Beer Spa continues to grow, it remains committed to its founding vision: redefining relaxation through a fusion of spa luxury and craft beer culture. The opening of its Highlands Ranch location is a testament to the brand’s ability to evolve while maintaining the elements that make it so unique. With its innovative approach to wellness, Oakwell Beer Spa is set to bring its signature experience to even more guests, solidifying its position as a leader in Denver’s wellness and craft beer community.
