Float Well

Experience ultimate relaxation at Float Well, Wellington's largest and highest rated float tank centre.

Float Well opened in Wellington in 2016 and is dedicated to giving you an unparalleled relaxation experience. Floatation therapy gives you the opportunity to unplug, relax and explore. Backed by 30 years of research, the benefits of sensory deprivation include pain relief, muscle recovery, reduced stress, better mental wellbeing, improved sleep and enhanced creativity.

You walk through the door, and something shifts.

The noise stays outside. Your shoulders drop. Your breathing slows. The pace you’ve been carrying all day starts to loosen its grip.

At Float Well, your session doesn’t begin when you step into the float tank. It begins the moment you arrive.

From the calm of reception to the quiet that follows, every part of the experience is designed to help you exhale.

Not all contrast therapy is created equal. 🔥🧊

At Float Well, you’re not squeezing into a communal recovery space or guessing what to bring.

Here’s what makes ours different:

• Private infrared sauna + ice bath room
• Sauna set to 70°C + ice bath set to 7°C
• Want it adjusted? We can customise the temperature for you. Just let us know in advance
• Towels, shower products, hair dryers, hair straighteners, and skincare are all provided
• A calm, comfortable space to recover without feeling on display

Whether you’re here for muscle recovery, mental clarity, stress relief, or to test your limits a little… we’ve got you.

Book via the link in bio.

Proud to be back as recovery partners of the Pulse for a third season 💛🖤

We attended the season launch yesterday and were so honoured to be presented with our framed sponsors dress, which now has pride of place on display at Float Well.

Netball is a high-demand sport, and with that comes a very real physical and mental load. Recovery isn’t just a luxury for athletes, it’s an essential part of performance, longevity, and resilience across a long season.

We’re proud to play a small part in supporting the Pulse athletes with spaces and services that help them look after their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and reset mentally so they can keep showing up at their best.

A huge thank you to the Pulse for having us on board again this season. We’re excited to support the team in 2026 🫶

Not just a pretty face… but we’ll help with that too 😏

Your post-session glow doesn’t stop at the float or sauna. Our vanity space is stocked with complimentary skincare so you can freshen up before heading back out into the world.

And for the lads… we’ve got you covered.

We stock Luscious Lambert’s Beard Oil made just around the corner on Cuba Street. Because a proper recovery session deserves a proper beard game to match.

Looking sharp is part of the experience.

And supporting local? Always.

Cold plunge at 7°C ❄️

Our contrast therapy ice bath is set to 7°C, a temperature that sits right in the sweet spot for many of the science-backed benefits of cold exposure.

At this range, research shows cold immersion can help:
• reduce inflammation and muscle soreness
• support recovery after training
• increase alertness and dopamine levels
• build resilience to stress

It’s cold enough to create a strong physiological response… without being so extreme that it becomes overwhelming for most people.

But here’s the thing, there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to cold exposure.

We can adjust the temperature up or down depending on your experience level, goals, and what your body needs that day. Whether you’re brand new to cold or chasing a deeper challenge, your session can be tailored to you.

That’s one of the ways we do things differently at Float Well: your recovery, your way.

How often should you float? 🧐

The honest answer: it depends.

If it’s your first time, we usually recommend 2–3 floats fairly close together. Your first float is often about getting familiar with the environment , learning how to settle your body and mind. By the second or third float, most people relax much more quickly and experience a deeper float.

After that, the right frequency comes down to your goals.

Some people float monthly as part of their self-care routine. Others float weekly to help manage stress, sleep, recovery, or chronic pain.

And some of our members float multiple times a week.

Our Unlimited Float Membership was created for people who want to make floating a consistent part of their routine, much like going to the gym or practicing meditation. The more familiar your body becomes with the experience, the easier it is to drop into deep relaxation.

The only frequency we don’t recommend?

Only floating once.

Your best float is often still ahead of you.

Almost 10 years ago, Float Well opened with just two single float tanks and a simple goal: give people a quiet place to truly switch off.

A year later we added two double float tanks so people could share the experience with a partner, friend, or family member. Or have more space to stretch out.

Last year we made another big shift: replacing one of the original single tanks with contrast therapy, bringing hot and cold into the mix for recovery, circulation, and resilience.

It’s been incredible to see how the space has evolved alongside the needs of our community.

So now we’re curious…

We love a 750kg Epsom salt delivery 🧂

Did you know each float tank has 500kg Epsom salt dissolved in over 600L warm water?

You can’t mimick this in your bath home. Leave it to us, the experts!
