Find your calm with Float Therapy

Step into one of the most effective ways to switch off from the world. Often called sensory deprivation or REST therapy, our float pods offer a rare sense of total peace and balance.

By heating the water to body temperature and adding mineral-rich Epsom salts, we create an environment where you feel completely weightless, as if you’re floating on air rather than water. It’s the ultimate way to reset the mind and body, especially when paired with our Infrared Sauna or a Massage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a float tank? What is floating? What do you do?

Our float tank is in your own private room in the spa, it Is a pod style tank that is filled with around 30cm of water and filled with 500kg of Epsom salt which keeps the body buoyant in the water. It is heated to body
temperature, so that you will not feel where the body meets the water, more like you are floating on air.

The buoyancy created by the dense Epsom-salt solution removes the feeling of gravity on the body, making
the body feel weightless, which gives you the perfect environment to allow your body to release the daily
strain on your muscles and joints. With ear plugs in, and the tank’s interior lights off, the quietness and
darkness allow the mind to drift into the deepest state of relaxation possible.

How does it work? What do i need to do?

Wearing whatever you are most comfortable in, we will have you arrive to The Spa around 15 minutes before
your float session begins. You will shower first to remove any oils from the body. You will have a robe and
some slippers to pop on and we will take you through to your private float room and make you comfortable.

After your session is over, you will then shower again to remove the natural Epsom salts from the body. You
do have the option of also having a spa treatment with your booking. If you are having a spa treatment, it is
recommended to float first, and then go through to enjoy your treatment afterward.
