01 — Floatation Therapy

Weightless. Silent. Free.

Suspended in a body-temperature Epsom salt water, you lose track of where the body ends, and the water begins. No light, no sound, no gravity - just you and your mind.

What is floating?

A practice older than the noise.

Floatation — or sensory deprivation — was developed in the 1950s to study the mind without external input. Today it's one of the most effective tools we have for deep rest and nervous-system recovery.

Saturated Epsom salt

Over 500kg of magnesium-rich salt makes the water dense enough to float effortlessly on the surface.

Body-temperature water

Skin-receptor neutral at 35.5°C, so the boundary between body and water gently disappears.

Total sensory quiet

Light and sound fall away, and the mind slips toward the theta state found in deep meditation.

The Benefits

What an hour of nothing gives back.

Float regularly and the effects build. Most people come for one reason and stay for all of them.

Mental clarity

Quiet the default-mode network and let a busy mind settle into spacious, unhurried focus.

Deeper sleep

A single float can reset the nervous system, easing insomnia and the wired-but-tired feeling.

Stress & anxiety relief

Cortisol drops and the parasympathetic system takes over — the body's true rest mode.

Magnesium uptake

Skin absorbs magnesium from the Epsom salt, supporting muscle and nerve recovery.

Pain & tension relief

Zero gravity decompresses the spine and joints, releasing chronic muscular holding.

Sharper recovery

Athletes use floating to flush lactate, speed healing and visualise before competition.

Your First Float

What to expect.

No experience needed — and nothing to bring. Here's how a session flows from arrival to afterglow.

Arrive & settle

We'll show you to your private float room and walk you through everything. Take your time.

Shower & enter

A quick pre-float shower, earplugs in, then step into the warm, shallow water and lie back.

Float for 60 min

Lights and music fade on your schedule. Drift, breathe, and let the water hold you.

Emerge & linger

Shower off, then ease back into the world with tea in our lounge. Don't rush it.

The first time, you'll try to relax. By the third, your body already remembers how.

— Why we believe floating is a practice

Good to know

Float, answered.

Will I feel claustrophobic?
The pod in the Lake room is far larger than it looks, and you're always in control — the lid stays open if you prefer, and the interior light is yours to turn off or keep on. You can step out at any moment. Ocean and Cosmic Rooms are as tall as the ceiling
Do I need to know how to swim?
Not at all. The water is only about 25cm deep and the salt concentration makes sinking impossible — you float on the surface without any effort.
What do I need to bring?
Bring a towel. Everything else: earplugs, body wash and everything is provided. You float without a swimsuit in your fully private room. Just avoid shaving beforehand.
How long is a session?
The float itself is 60 minutes, but allow around 90 minutes for your visit — including your pre-float shower, settling in, and unwinding in the lounge afterwards.
How often should I float?
Many people feel the benefit after one session; however, the research suggests that that 3 floats done within 10-14 days produce the best initial results. Floating is a practice — a regular rhythm of fortnightly or weekly floats is where the stronger, compounding effects live.
