Izba Spa

Best massage I’ve ever gotten! Absolutely love this place. You have to try this unique Russian massage place.

I have been coming here for several years and I love it! Seriously the only way I go anywhere else is if someone who doesn’t know gets me a gift certificate. Today I had Sara and I will ask for her from now on. I had the best massage of my life. Just the right amount of pressure and she actually paid attention to my trouble spots! If you want to give someone an awesome and not ordinary spa experience try Izba.

First, this place stands out. Get the steam room/​banya experience. Got a massage, a piece of fruit and tea afterwards. You also get to take a shower afterwards. That is different. Love this place and will come again.

This is by far the neatest, specialist and best spa experience I’ve encountered! My husband came here to celebrate our 1 wedding anniversary. We did the Izba Spa Special. They have the perfect couples room! They have two tablea in there with it’s own private two seater hot tub, sauna and shower. The décor is beautiful and relaxing. To start, we did 15 mins in the private hot tub, then situated ourselves on the beds for an hour long full body massage. Sarah was fantastic, and Igor’s massage on my husband was the best he said he’d ever had! The music is soft and sweet. Perfect for a massage. After the wonderful massage, we made our way into the sauna for our banya session. If you’ve never done this, you are missing out! It is truly sensational! We received two differnet steams. The first was eucalyptus and orange, and the second eucalyptus and lavendar. Then he brought in oak leaves with water and tapped us with them. It brought the steam down better into our pores :-) Then we covered us in honey to work the pores deeper. The best part though? The cool water dump after being in 140° for 15 mins! After a quick refreshing shower, they provided us with clementines and a delicious homemade hot tea. You HAVE to come here!!!

I woke up with a bad headache and back spasms last Sunday morning. I Googled «Massage in Parker» and very few are open on Sundays. I called Izba Spa and luckily for me, they had availability! I wasn’t really sure what a «banya» was but hey, I’m always down to try something new (except with weird food). I booked Eugene’s Special, a 90-​minute massage with a Russian Banya session.
Upon pulling up, I began to have doubts, as paying $ 130+tip for a massage that’s located in a strip mall seemed a little crazy. In their lobby area, they had a TV playing some cool gymnast videos and the walls were lined with autographed pictures. I’d asked for a deep tissue massage and ended up with a male therapist, which is pretty common for me. He took me into the room and led me into a private sauna, where I was to lay down on my belly. It was hot in there, and I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to breathe for long! I kind of have a weird thing about hot spaces, not being able to breathe, melting to death, etc. I lay down and told myself that they wouldn’t let me die in there. Just a little dramatic, I know! He came in and checked in with me, warning me that it was going to get hotter. But he was soothing, and my fear abated. He began to kind of hit (not painfully) me up and down from my legs to my shoulders with bushels of leaves, sometimes cool water would trickle through the leaves and relieve my hot skin. He kind of came and went, doing the leaf and water thing, letting me relax. Then he came in one last time and put some honey mixture on me and poured a bucket of cold water over me. It was such a rush! I couldn’t breathe for a few seconds, but the mixture of cold water and hot air was such an incredible feeling.
After that, I took a brief shower and lay on the bed. He gave me a great 90-​minute deep tissue massage. Once it was done, he left the room so I could get dressed. I took a moment to look around a bit, the murals painted on the walls were really cool! When I left the room he had a clementine and some hot tea waiting for me in the lobby and I took a moment to enjoy it and get myself awake enough to drive home.
All in all, a great experience. The next day, my back felt all bruised just like it should feel after a good massage. I’ll definitely go back again when I have the money, it was a really great experience!

Went for my birthday and we absolutely loved it!! y boyfriend and I were not quite sure how this would be, but we are always down for an adventure. It was so relaxing and the customer service was outstanding! We will be back for sure!

I NEVER write reviews, but my experience here was so fantastic I just HAD to write one. I will try to be as descriptive as possible just to ensure that this review is accurate, so I apologize for a lengthy submission.
It was midday Sunday and my fiancé and I were desperate for a good back rub. We are both athletes and had a long weekend of physical activity. After calling down the Unilocal list to other massage spas, no one could take us or were not open at the moment. When I finally contacted Izba, Sarah answered the phone and was extremely helpful and patient. I had no idea what Banya was (it is a Russian sauna treatment where you basically sweat and detox while being attended by someone), and she cheerfully answered all of my questions (including my annoying trivial ones). They were able to take us right away, and gave clear directions on how to get there.
When we arrived, they again answered all of our questions and proceeded to explain how to prepare for the Banya treatment and massage. I was a little nervous because it was pretty hot in there, but the attendant was monitoring us the entire time and it wasn’t anything that was unbearable. We did the «short spa treatment». It was basically a steam room treatment with aromatherapy and a honey rubdown. I’ve never experienced anything like it before and was absolutely hooked. I could literally feel all of the toxins being withdrawn from my body as I laid down and sweat it out. If there was one thing however that I would change, I would have asked for a towel to fold under my head when I laid down. You are laying face down on wooden benches and I was trying to find a comfortable position for my face. I’m sure it wouldn’t have been a big deal to ask, so it is something that I will request next time I go.
Immediately following the Banya treatment (you shower and dry off), we received an hour long massage. I had the male masseuse who attended to us in the sauna, and my fiancé had Sarah. I’ve had my fair share of massages, but this one was amazing. Perfect amount of pressure, attentive, and a true technician. They also play classical music, which was actually quite lovely. After the massage they gave us fruit and hot tea in the sitting area, a PERFECT treat for afterwards.
My fiancé and I swear by this place, and will come back here from now on. It is an intimate, clean and authentic Russian spa treatment business with wonderful owners/​technicians. They do not advertise and receive most of their business by word-​of-​mouth (and recently Unilocal), and have been around for 16 years. That in itself should speak to how high quality this place is. I highly recommend this place for anyone, even if a sauna treatment sounds daunting, it really is an incredible experience!

I love coming to the Izba! I usually do the Izba special: hot tub, 1 hr massage, and banya. Holy relaxed batman! My body feels great, food tastes better, and the world seems brighter after coming in! The banya session is a little strange if you don’t know what to expect… dry heat then steam… followed by a light beating with oak leaf bundles… followed by a thorough basting of honey all over your body… and finished off with a bucket of cold water poured over you. What an experience to say the least and I keep going back and sending others! I highly highly recommend!

I hadn’t been to Izba spa for 7+ years (live outside of Colorado), and I had not been to this Parker location until the other day.
I could kick myself for not coming back sooner!
I had a 90 min massage + banya and it was amazing. The massage therapist, Mark, was extremely good at his job — probably one of the best massages I’ve had (and I’ve had a lot of massages in my life!). He really seemed to know where the pain was in my back and he, at my request, dug very deep and really got out so much of the pain that was hurting me.
The spa is far from fancy, but I come here to get fixed and feel better. The place is clean, professional, and has good prices and nice people.
I look forward to returning again and hopefully Mark will be there!

My husband and I just visited Izba today for the first time. We had a great time! Very clean facility. The banya is very hot… the cool water splash is terrific. The massage therapists were also our hydro therapists. Very professional! It is almost impossible to find a professional massage therapist who will perform massage on the gluts. Ours did and very professionally. Wonderful! I could not have had a better experience any where else. I can’t believe what I’ve been missing. We will be going back I think at least quarterly!!! LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

I have been to two banyas in the metro area — If I could combine them — we would have the best of everything — I make a point not to mention the competition when writing a review.
This place very very clean — A+ for that
The sauna was not as intense as the other banya we visited — I almost ‘tapped out’ at the other place — I was able to complete three sessions here w/​no problem. The cold water splash in the sauna in lieu of the cold tub was nice —
The massages were not very good — my masseuse had cigarette breath — as a non — smoker — it was pretty gross — the massage at the other place put me to sleep — it was hypnotic
my wife’s masseuse had a year of experience — you can imagine how that went
Increase the intensity of the banya and hire better massage therapists and you have a winner — as is — it is sub-​par.

I forgot about IZBA Spa. I must go back, they do good!!!

Still a 5 star spa in my opinion. Came here recently for a 90 minute massage and banya and it was still fantastic. The banya was hot (approx. 175 degrees), but that’s what it’s supposed to be, so it’s hard to complain.
The massage was awesome and worked out all the kinks.
My one complaint is that they were running late for my appointment, but since they are pretty small and really only have a couple rooms, there’s not much you can do about it. I still got my full time, so it was fine.

I definitely love Izba.
My husbands takes me there for my birthday or our anniversary. They have a room where you can get tandum massages.
When I first went I said you want to slather my with honey during my massage??? It is fabulous.
With the standard package you begin in the hot tub and them move to the massage. Once the massage is done you are sent into the sauna where they let you warm up, then they come in with soaked tree leaves/​branches and gently beat it against your skin and then comes the slather of honey. They escort you to the shower and then back to the massage table and you start the process all over again.
This process takes about two and half hours but it is well worth the time.
After all of this you go to the sitting area where they have yummy hot (or cold) Russian tea and slices of apples and oranges waiting for you. What a way to end a perfect session.
I don’t know her name but there is an older Russian women who used to work there (and still may as it has been awhile since I was there) that weighs about 80 pounds and it seems like she reaches into your bones and muscles with skeleton like fingers. She really gets in and works out all the kinks — I love it!

I LOVE Izba. The Banya sessions are amazing and the overall massage and banya combo beats spas out there. They don’t rush you out either which I love.

I went here for my birthday with my Mom and Mother-​in-​Law. The Izba staff made it a really fun occasion and we all got to share a room with a hot-​tub and tandem massages. Try the Banya — it’s a little strange, but very refreshing.

If I had to sum up my spa experience at Izba in on word it would be, amazing. Seriously, I have never been so relaxed and I am an avid spa-​er.
I wanted to kick off my Memorial Day Weekend with a bit of relaxation. I had heard about Izba in Parker several times and thought I would give it a go. Boy, am I glad I did!
Tucked into an unassuming aging shopping plaza just off E-​470 and Parker sits Izba. As you walk in you are greeted with a cozy waiting room with a wooden table/​bench and walls filled with everyone from Vladimir Lenin to Celine Dion. It’s interesting to say the least! As I waiting I was given a nice cup of hot tea and watch Cirque du Soleil on the TV. Strung up in the office were dozens of oak branches that will come into play later. I went for the basic treatment, it went like this:
1) You disrobe in your private treatment area complete with hot tub, banya, shower and massage area.
2) You start with a soak in the hot tub — 30 min. (didn’t pay attention)
3) Then I moved to the back massage, which was one of the best I have had in a long time due to my muscles being so loose from the warm water. 30 Min.
4) Next up the Banya, which was so insanely hot you feel like you stepped into an oven. You lay on your stomach as they drench the rocks with scents of lavender & eucalyptus and massage in honey to your skin. 15 Min.
5) Just when you think you can’t take the heat, they lead you to a cold shower — relief!
6) The front massage is next and is just as good as the back do to the loose muscles. 30 Min.
7) Then one more Banya session — front this time. This session is ended with a steam cloud of peppermint then a bucket of cold water. It is invigorating! 15 Min.
8) A shower to wash off all the honey and sweat and oil and you are in complete relaxation mode.
I can’t tell you how much I loved the whole experience. The place was charming and unique. I can’t wait to go back. It was amazing!

I agree, this is my favorit spa EVER!

This is by far my favorite Spa, anywhere. I’ve been to both locations, and they are both nice, but I like the Parker location better.
It’s clean, the walls are decorated with picutres of old Russian fairy tales, the people working there are friendly, and every time I leave I feel like I’m floating. I think it has something to do with the Banya…
Depending on the package you choose, your process is different. The last time I was there, my husband and I had the Basic Treatment, a 2 hour package.
First, we soaked in a hot tub to begin to relax. The water is clear and sparkling clean. Next came the Banya.
The Banya is a sauna/​steam room, kept at around 170 degrees. You lay down and soak up the heat. Then someone comes in and brushes you with scrub oak branches, dried with the leaves on. I’ve done this in Russia, and I can tell you that they’re much gentler at Izba Spa (but I bet you could ask for it a bit rougher, if you’re into that sort of thing). After about 8 minutes, they come in and rub honey into your skin and then dump a bucket of water over you, which feels so fantastic, I can’t describe it properly in mixed company.
Then the massage. Fantastic. They’ll massage deeper or lighter as you wish, and they will focus on certain areas you specify (minds out of the gutter, it’s not like THAT).
Then back to the Banya. Ohhhh, it’s so HOT in there! SO HOT! That cool water in the end is so worth of it, though!
You come out of there feeling like you’re walking on air. A nice cup of tea to rehydrate and a couple of apple and orange slices finish the treatment. Oh my, do you feel awesome. Oh, there was a quick shower somewhere in the middle of all this, but I can’t remember when. The Banya erases everything. Sigh.
Awesome. We’re going again tomorrow.
Edited to add: The actual sequence of the Basic Treatment is hot tub, back half massage, banya (no cold bucket of water), cool shower (feels great after first banya), front half massage, banya (with bucket of cool water, nice!), warm shower to remove the honey and massage oils. Lovely.

Wow, I’ve waited way to long to give Izba a try. We had a health fair at our office so I purchased a coupon for the Parker location.
It is a quite the drive to Parker from Wheat Ridge but it was worth every minute.
It was a cold, snowy night when we walked in for the couples massage. The hot tea, hot sauna and back scratching from tree branches hit the spot.
I haven’t had a many massages in my life but this one was amazing. From fingertips to forearms to the tips of your toes.
The staff is friendly and the prices are just right.
