Infrared Sauna Treatment & Red Light Therapy
Infrared Sauna Treatment and Red Light Therapy at Spa Manzanita
Step into a cocoon of gentle warmth, soft light, and deep calm. Our Infrared Sauna and Red Light Therapy invite you to unwind while your body restores itself from within. Unlike traditional saunas that rely on high external heat, infrared light gently warms the body at a cellular level — supporting detoxification, circulation, pain relief, and skin rejuvenation without overwhelming intensity.
At Spa Manzanita, our Sunlighten Full-Spectrum Infrared Sauna combines near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths to deliver a layered wellness experience — from surface radiance to deep muscular and cellular renewal. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, recovery, or a natural boost in vitality, each session helps you reset your energy, release tension, and feel your best — body, mind, and spirit.
Spa Manzanita offers all of the benefits of infrared treatment – right here on the Oregon Coast, just 15 minutes from Cannon Beach
How Infrared & Red Light Heal
Infrared and red light therapy work together to restore balance from the skin’s surface to your body’s core. Our full-spectrum Sunlighten Sauna blends four wavelengths for a complete wellness experience:
🔴 Red Light – Boosts collagen, calms inflammation, and brightens skin.
🌕 Near Infrared – Stimulates circulation and cellular repair.
☀️ Mid Infrared – Warms muscles, eases tension, and supports detoxification.
🔥 Far Infrared – Promotes deep relaxation, reduces inflammation, and helps the body release stored toxins.
Together, they encourage cellular healing, enhance circulation, and leave you feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply renewed.
Available as single sessions or wellness packages — perfect as a pre-massage ritual or stand-alone self-care session.

Customize Your Program
Your sauna experience is a customizable and optimized to give you the best result for your wellness journey.
Our Sunlighten Sauna offers six customizable wellness programs. Each one blends near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths to support your specific goals.
STRENGTHEN IMUNITY
Feel better. Healthier. Stronger.
When you feel better, you can move better and do more. Infrared helps with healing through its pain relief and anti-inflammation benefits. The light penetrates the body and stimulates circulation, decreases inflammation, and provides relief from pain.
The deep detoxification infrared waves stimulating within the body are also known to help remove certain toxic heavy metals and other environmental toxins that cause debilitating symptoms. Infrared also boosts the immune system, helping the body stay healthy and ready to fight viruses and other illness.
RECOVER & RESTORE
Feel restored. Revitalized. Rejuvenated.
No one wants muscle soreness to slow them down. Whether you’re a competitive athlete, a weekend golfer or simply trying to stay active, proper muscle recovery impacts your ability to keep doing what you love. Infrared sauna therapy penetrates muscles deeper, increases blood flow and helps the body recover faster so you can stay in the game of sports, and life.
Infrared light heats the body from within and penetrates the joints, muscles and tissues, increasing circulation and blood flow for proper healing. It accelerates recovery, helps build muscles, decreases inflammation, and increases flexibility.
RENEW & GLOW
Feel beautiful. Youthful. Peaceful.
Looking good is all about feeling good and infrared sauna therapy helps. The skin health and anti-aging benefits of infrared light help you feel radiant and confident as they help improve overall skin tone, softness, smoothness, elasticity, clarity and firmness.
Infrared relaxes the body and mind, fights inflammation, and builds collagen and elastin. So, not only does your skin look better on the outside, you will also feel better from the inside.
Full spectrum IR sauna therapy would be a multibillion dollar drug if it came in a pill. The ability to heal endothelium, improve symptoms and prognosis for congestive heart failure and coronary artery disease is remarkable. Sunlighten saunas are the only infrared saunas clinically shown to lower blood pressure and reduce belly fat, both contributing factors to a health heart.
Infrared Treatment: What to Know Before You Book
How long is an infrared treatment session?
It depends on the program you choose. Each setting is designed with a different intention in mind — from 30 minutes of gentle Anti-Aging or Pain Relief, to 37 minutes for Detoxification, and up to 45 minutes for Cardio.
For first-timers, we usually recommend starting with the Relaxation program (40 minutes). Even though it’s a little longer, it runs at a lower temperature and intensity, making it a soothing way to ease into infrared therapy. Once you know how your body responds, you can explore other programs that match your wellness goals.
What are the benefits of infrared therapy?
Each program is tailored to support different aspects of wellness:
-
Relaxation (40 mins): melts away tension and promotes stress relief.
-
Pain Relief (30 mins): a steady mid-intensity blend that may help soothe sore muscles or reduce inflammation after activity.
-
Detoxification (37 mins): cycles through higher heat to encourage circulation and release.
-
Anti-Aging (30 mins): a gentle option focused on skin health and overall rejuvenation.
-
Weight Loss (30 mins): uses higher intensity to get your heart rate up, similar to light cardio.
-
Cardio (45 mins): a more vigorous program designed to stimulate circulation and cardiovascular activity.
No matter which you choose, the most common feedback we hear is a feeling of deep relaxation, refreshed energy, and a sense of “reset.”
What's the difference between near, mid, and far infrared light?
Infrared saunas use light across three wavelengths, each offering unique benefits:
-
Near Infrared (NIR): Supports skin rejuvenation, collagen, and cell repair.
-
Mid Infrared (MIR): Warms soft tissue and muscles, improving circulation and flexibility.
-
Far Infrared (FIR): Gently raises core temperature, helping the body detoxify and deeply relax.
Spa Manzanita’s full-spectrum Sunlighten Sauna combines all three for a complete mind-body restoration experience.
Is infrared treatment safe for everyone?
Most people find infrared sessions gentle and restorative, but the right program for you depends on your comfort level. The Relaxation or Anti-Aging programs are the best places to start if you’re sensitive to heat or new to infrared. Programs like Cardio or Detoxification run hotter and longer, and may not be right for everyone.
If you’re pregnant, have certain cardiovascular conditions, or are highly heat-sensitive, we recommend checking with your healthcare provider before booking. For a full list of considerations, please see our Infrared Sauna Contraindications guide. Our team is also happy to answer questions and help you choose the program that feels safest and most enjoyable for your body.
