The Float Space

The Verdict

Bringing one of the best-kept wellness secrets to our sandy Queensland shores, The Float Space was the first of its kind to open on the Sunshine Coast.Not sure what “floating” is? You’re not alone. Developed in the 1950s by a neuroscientist, floating was originally revered by psychologists for its ability to implement a kind of sensory deprivation that gave the mind and body the chance to solely focus on healing itself. Pretty amazing, no?

So among a bunch of good-for-you results, it gently rocks you into a state of relaxation, which is pretty much what we all need. Right? The Float Space in Maroochydore is decked out with three floating suites, each containing their own pod and private shower, plus a get-yourself-to-work/the shops/dinner area with blow-dryers, moisturiser and all that jazz. Basically, they’ve thought of everything.
