Floatation involves lying in a salt-water solution in a
specially designed tank, which are all imported from Sweden. Both the room and the water are kept at skin temperature, which creates the feeling of floating in midair, and creating the perfect environment in which to relax, recover and meditate.
The spa is run by a foreigner and is very well organized, hygienic, and pleasant. At arrival, everything is explained to you and the you will be shown around the different kinds of tanks and rooms. Each room consists of a shower for you to use afterwards, with very nice shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. They also provide disposable earplugs.
The coolest thing about this is that you are given a waterproof headset to wear while in the tank, and you can browse through the channels and pick what you like listening to the most - nature sounds, classical music, guided meditation, etc. It really does feel like you’re completely floating in mid air!
During my experience, I chose to listen to the guided meditation and completely fell asleep after the first 15 minutes or so. At the end of the session, they wake you up with some nice, soothing opera music that starts to play inside the room. I woke up feeling truly revigorares and relaxed! 😅
After leaving the tank room, you can enjoy your time in a small dresser area they’ve prepped with brushes, hair dryers, hair ties, etc. Very well equipped and neatly maintained. You can also relax after in a living room area where there is tea and water available.
The owner recommends this around twice a week to help you with stress, sleep quality, and other health issues you may have. Definitely worth a try if you’re in Shanghai!
