Flotation Therapy at Vita Skin Spa

Step away from the noise of everyday life and sink into deep relaxation with our flotation tank experience at Vita Skin Spa. Flotation therapy, also known as sensory deprivation or float therapy, allows your body and mind to fully reset in a warm, weightless environment designed to promote profound calm and restoration.

What Is Flotation Therapy?

Our flotation tank is filled with skin-loving, magnesium-rich Epsom salt water heated to body temperature. This allows you to float effortlessly, relieving pressure from joints and muscles while reducing sensory input. As your nervous system slows down, your body enters a deeply restorative state—similar to meditation or deep sleep.

Benefits of Flotation Therapy

Regular flotation sessions can offer a wide range of physical and mental benefits, including:

  • Deep relaxation and stress reduction
  • Relief from muscle tension and joint discomfort
  • Improved sleep quality
  • Support for anxiety and mental fatigue
  • Enhanced mindfulness and mental clarity
  • Magnesium absorption to support muscle and nervous system health
  • Reduced sensory overload and nervous system regulation

Many clients leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more balanced—both physically and emotionally.

Float Therapy Session Options

We offer three float durations to suit your needs:

30-Minute Float

Perfect if you’re new to flotation or short on time. A gentle introduction that helps calm the nervous system, ease tension, and refresh the mind.

60-Minute Float

Our most popular option. Allows enough time to fully relax, quiet the mind, and experience the full therapeutic benefits of flotation.

90-Minute Float

For those seeking deep restoration. Ideal for chronic stress, muscle fatigue, or anyone wanting an extended, immersive reset for both body and mind.

What to Expect During Your Visit

  • Arrival and welcome at Vita Skin Spa
  • Pre-float shower to cleanse the skin
  • Time to unwind in your robe and slippers

Important timing note:

For hygiene and optimal comfort, clients must shower at the spa before and after their float. Please allow an additional 30 minutes on top of your chosen float time when booking your appointment.

Tripadvisor review

I booked treatments with afternoon tea for me, my friend and her daughter. The staff were lovely, very welcoming. We started with a sauna followed by our treatments, two facials and a massage which were wonderful. We were all feeling very relaxed after. We then had a delicious afternoon tea with sweet and savoury treats. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience, thank you ladies at Vita Skin Spa!
