Situated in Heaton, Newcastle, Driftwood Float Spa provides Floatation Therapy in 60- and 90-minute sessions. Floating is scientifically proven to increase our mental and physical wellbeing in as little as an hour. It can leave us feeling happier and more relaxed, with fewer aches and pains, and confident of a better night’s sleep. It can help us gain a better perspective on things, too.

The water in the float tank is ten inches deep and contains half a ton of Epsom salt, allowing you to float effortlessly. It matches the temperature of your skin and the air, giving you the feeling of complete weightlessness. It’s usually pitch black and silent in the tank too, unless you wish to have relaxing music, or the light on. Free from sensory input, the Musculo-Skeletal system and sympathetic nervous system can wind down into a state of deep relaxation and serenity, in which your body and mind can heal and replenish - resulting in many benefits, like reduced stress and better sleep.

A float lasts for 60 or 90 minutes, with 15 minutes of ambient music at the beginning to help you relax – or longer if you request it. You have full control of opening and closing the tank, and of the light inside it. Music starts again to signal 5 minutes before the end of your float.

At Driftwood, this all happens in your own private room, equipped with a shower and complimentary toiletries.
