What to Expect

Upon arrival at Float Spa, you’ll be warmly welcomed by our friendly staff, who will offer you filtered water and guide you to the private sauna room. For an enhanced experience, consider adding aromatherapy to your session—our team can recommend essential oils tailored to your mood and wellness goals.

The sauna room is entirely private, equipped with its own shower for your convenience. You have full control over your session, with sauna controls both inside and outside the cabin. Our team will set the initial temperature and timer, but you can easily adjust the heat to your comfort level during your session. We suggest starting at a moderate temperature, around 65°C, until you become accustomed to the infrared warmth.

A handy remote control allows you to personalise the lighting within the sauna, offering various colours and light-changing modes for a calming light therapy experience.

Getting Started with Your Sauna Session

When you’re ready, undress completely and step into the sauna, ensuring the door is firmly closed behind you. For those aiming to maximize sweating and detoxification, a quick warm shower before entering the sauna can enhance the effects.

Unlike traditional saunas, the infrared heat warms you gently and gradually. There’s no intense blast of heat—instead, the warmth feels similar to the natural heat your body produces during exercise, without the physical exertion. The air remains comfortable and non-humid, and the seating area stays pleasantly warm rather than hot.

As your body temperature rises, you’ll begin to sweat deeply, aiding in detoxification and relaxation. If you find the heat becoming too intense, you can lower the temperature or simply open the sauna door for immediate cooling.

Relax and Rejuvenate

The soothing combination of infrared heat, gentle light therapy, and optional aromatherapy makes the session deeply relaxing. As you unwind, your mind calms and your body releases tension. After your session, you’ll step out refreshed and revitalised, though covered in sweat—a clear sign of effective detoxification.

Finish your session with a refreshing shower, then head to our Dream Room, where you can continue to unwind with a comforting cup of herbal tea.

Experience the unique benefits of infrared heat and leave Float Spa feeling cleansed, calm, and completely rejuvenated.

A great experience, I was nervous, but was soon put completely at ease by the lovely staff, took a few minutes to adjust and I kept my light on in the pod and emerged feeling VERY relaxed. Enjoyed the tea and sorbet afterwards. Loved it.

A truly wonderful experience. I had my first float last week- it was incredible. I was a bit nervous to start but the lady who looked after me reassured me by talking me through the whole process and made me feel completely at ease. The float spa and floatation tank room themselves are spotlessly clean and have a very relaxing atmosphere. Everything is provided for you- towels, showering products, wipes, ear plugs- they have thought of everything!

Infrared Sauna FAQs

Unlike traditional saunas which heat the air and this heats the people, infrared saunas use harmless infrared light waves to penetrate the body and gently heat it from the inside. This heat relaxes the muscles, soothes away rheumatic pain and stimulates blood flow by increasing your heartrate. You still sweat like you would do in a normal sauna but, as the infrared sauna only heats you and not the air around you, the air you breath is a nice temperature and the warmth you feel is much more comfortable. Infrared is so safe, it’s used in hospitals to warm new born babies. Our particular make of infrared sauna emits an EMF (electromagnetic field) that is so low it is negligible so there is no risk of suffering the possible negative effects of EMFs even if you are a regular user.

Because of the relaxing effect, infrared saunas are very effective at treating the symptoms of stress and relieving muscle tension. This, along with the way it raises your heartrate, stimulates blood flow to promote healing and flush out toxins from the muscles. Therefore, infrared saunas can help with:

  • Rheumatic pain
  • Chronic pain
  • Poor circulation
  • High blood pressure
  • Lowered immune system

They’ve also been shown to have the following benefits:

  • Improved skin condition – the sweating opens and purifies pores while stimulating collagen production
  • Weight loss – the heat and raised heart rate burn extra calories
  • Relaxation – the ‘exercise effect’ releases endorphins and other feel good hormones

Infrared saunas have no negative side effects and are completely safe so you can try ours for any of the above conditions and more or just for a lovely relaxing experience which leaves you with the same feeling as doing moderate exercise.

Yes, you have complete control of the temperature inside the infrared sauna from an easy to use panel inside the sauna.

If you become uncomfortably hot and need relief, you can open the door of the infrared sauna at any time to let some cooler air in. You can also step outside the sauna at any time you like if you need a break.

The type of infrared rays used by our infrared sauna are the same they use in incubators for newborn babies so they are very safe and because there is no steam and hot surfaces involved, there are no places you can burn yourself easily.

Yes, our infrared sauna is Bluetooth enabled so you can connect your device to the sauna to listen to it through the speakers inside.

Ideally, you shouldn’t wear anything at all and simply sit on a towel inside the sauna naked. The infrared sauna has its own room with a shower so it’s very private but if you would feel more comfortable wearing a swimsuit then it’s entirely up to you. 

Yes. If you would like to listen to music or a meditation track or anything from your phone, you can connect it to the sauna using Bluetooth before you get in. It’s probably best to leave your phone outside the sauna so you aren’t tempted to keep looking at it while you’re trying to relax.

Yes, all toiletries, Organic Shampoo, Conditioner, Shower Gel are provided. Towels are also provided. Just bring yourself, make-up, deodorant and hair brush, relax and enjoy!

Great to have you here! Here are our recommendations for a safe first session:

  • Sauna sessions should be limited to no more than 30 minutes initially and temperatures must stay below 65 degrees Celsius.
  • It is always important to maintain proper hydration levels during far infrared therapy. Dehydration will actually increase carbohydrate utilization and cause less fat to be burned for energy. We highly recommend drinking a minimum of 4 oz. of water prior to entering the sauna and a minimum of 8 oz. of water after sauna use. Water bottles are not permitted in the sauna, but we have plenty of water for you to take with you.
  • Please consult your GP if you are in doubt regarding your ability to use the far infrared sauna for health reasons.

We would advise you to speak to your doctor before using the infrared sauna while pregnant. 

We would recommend speaking to your GP before using the infrared sauna if you have a pre existing medical condition.

  • Rheumatic pain
  • Chronic pain
  • Poor circulation
  • High blood pressure
  • Lowered immune system

And has the following benefits:

  • Improved skin condition
  • Weight loss
  • Relaxation
  • De-stress

To get the most out of your sauna, we recommend taking a warm shower before you get in but this isn’t essential but it is a good idea to remove any make up and tie up long hair. 

Please Note: It is not recommended to use our infrared sauna if you are pregnant or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
