The experience
What is a Floating Sound Bath?
A Floating Sound Bath combines the peaceful feeling of floating with an immersive live sound experience.
You settle onto your own comfortable floating bed above the still water of an indoor pool, wrapped in a blanket while crystal singing bowls, gongs and other beautiful instruments are played around you.
The combination of the water, atmospheric setting and live sound creates a wonderfully unique environment in which you can simply pause, listen and enjoy some uninterrupted time for yourself.
No swimming or water confidence is required. Depending on the pool setup, your feet or lower legs may get slightly wet when getting on and off the floating bed if the water reaches the ladder.
Simple to enjoy
