Spavia Day Spa Announces Expansion to Lakewood’s Belmar Shopping District

Today, Spavia announced its latest expansion into Lakewood’s Belmar Shopping District spearheaded by local entrepreneur Marisa Rybar. Rybar is passionate about bringing Spavia’s resort-inspired amenities closer to home. From facials and tension-relief massages to detoxifying body wraps, waxing, and lash extensions, Spavia offers a fully customizable self-care experience with something for everyone. Spavia Belmar is slated to open in the summer of this year.

“I’ve visited spas across the country, but Spavia stood out,” said Rybar. “As a loyal member of the Spavia Greenwood Village location, this was my place for a complete mental and physical detox. From the robe and slippers to the aromatherapy and inspirational reading, every detail is designed to help guests feel relaxed, recentered and renewed. When the opportunity arose to bring this experience to others, I knew it was the perfect fit for my next chapter.”

With a background in marketing and technology, Rybar’s journey to Spavia was driven by a deep desire to align her career with her passion for wellness while maintaining a balanced lifestyle and making a meaningful impact. Her decision was further solidified after being introduced to Spavia’s philanthropic initiative, Spavia Cares, which resonated deeply with her values, as it empowers each location to partner with local nonprofits, fostering connections and making a tangible difference in the community.

“Marisa’s personal connection to Spavia, alongside her dedication to fostering wellness makes her an exceptional addition to our franchise family,” said Marty Langenderfer, CEO and Co-Founder of Spavia. “We are thrilled to see her expand Spavia’s resort-inspired experience to the Belmar Shopping Strict in downtown Lakewood and to watch her thrive as a business owner.”

For decades, Spavia has redefined the neighborhood day spa, bringing the sophistication of a luxury resort within reach. From the moment guests step inside, they’re welcomed into an atmosphere reminiscent of a 5-star hotel—where plush spa robes, warm aromatherapy neck pillows, and exotic teas set the tone for relaxation. With tranquil retreat spaces and personalized treatments, Spavia offers a true escape, available seven days a week to fit seamlessly into any schedule.

In addition to its treatments, each Spavia location includes a spa boutique, which provides a wide range of retail offerings, purchasable by guests to extend their self-care routines at home or for gifting occasions. Retail categories include premium skincare products, recovery tools, candles, jewelry, and more.
