Float Therapy

In-water massage focuses on muscles, trigger points, and stiffness, while floatation therapy targets bone structure, joints, and the release of tension from the spine. In essence, massage in floatation therapy is lighter. Likewise, the connection between the guest and therapist is stronger. You relinquish control and submit to the flow of the water and the soothing touch of your therapist, entering a deeply meditative state.

Private float therapy targets bone structure, joints, and the release of tension from the spine through the gentle touches and light massage of a dedicated float therapist. For groups, however, the supervisor's role is limited to ensuring that floaters do not collide with one another, bump into walls, or drift into corners.

Admission to the Blue Lagoon is not included in the price of an in-water massage—nor any other treatment we offer.

Full details about our Blue Lagoon admission packages can be found here.

If you can’t swim and/or have special needs, we recommend that you book solo float therapy so that you’ll have the full, undivided attention of a therapist.

We advise against float therapy for women in their first trimester of pregnancy. If you have specific concerns, consult your doctor.
