Flōte — Local services in Hampton

My first float was amazing, at about 5 months pregnant. I was pretty nervous - the idea of closing myself into a tank with water was slightly unnerving but the staff were so understanding (they must hear it a lot from first-timers!) and provided me with all the comfort I needed. I had a massage before going into the tank (highly recommend) so I was already pretty relaxed. Then I got into the tank and messed with the lights, the sound until I found my zen-zone. Once there, I remember thinking to myself "wow, this is so relaxing I totally get why people do this." and then all of a sudden it was several minutes later (who knows exactly how long there aren't any clocks) and I came out of the most relaxed trance I've ever been in. I signed up for a membership before leaving and enjoyed several floats throughout the remainder of my pregnancy. Now that I'm no longer pregnant I've gotten to enjoy the fabulous sauna at Flote Hampton, too. It's got chromotherapy lights, bluetooth to pump in your own sounds, a shower, towels - really everything for a nice getaway right on route 1!

I highly recommend everyone try a float at least once. You don't need to close the lid to the pod, you can leave the lights on and there is an announcement when your time is up so you don't have to worry about...

This place truly has it all in regards to your self-care needs. Floating allows me to meditate and take my mind off of any stress that my work or home life creates. It’s a completely new experience that is unlike anything I’ve ever had. The best part about floating is that you can make it as intense or not intense as you want, it’s very customizable. You can turn the lights on or off, the music on or off, and you can make it as short as you like.

I am also a member of the massage club here. It is a great deal that gives me one massage a month plus a free sauna session. While the benefits of massage are well known, the sauna is what took me by surprise. For a while I was unaware of what the benefits of sauna would be, but once I tried it for the first time I was hooked.

If you are questioning whether or not to come here I urge you to give it a shot. Their staff is very knowledgeable and non-pressuring. They are often excited about any treatment that I am planning on getting, and very accommodating post treatment to see how it my experience...

I floated today, as I have numerous times this year since first experiencing it. I can't do the experience justice. It is life changing. The staff at Flote is amazing, the facility is beautiful, serene and super safe. The float itself is the most relaxed I have ever been. There are times when I am so zen , for lack of a better word, that I couldn't tell you if I was in water, lying on my bed, or even on the planet. It utterly envelopes you in a peaceful place where you find yourself smiling while lying there in the darkness by yourself. It has been five hours since I got out and I am still absolutely relaxed and happy, and this is after a crazy week. Let's face it 2020 has been nuts in every aspect. Floating can help get some of that craziness out of our head and let us process peaceful and calm feelings instead. It's like the ultimate Calgon Take Me Away experience . I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who has anxiety, stress, pain or just needs to focus on some self care. Just go. You will be SO...
