The tanks & rooms here

The vessel type is the single biggest thing to get right — especially if enclosed spaces make you uneasy. Here's what Desert Serenity Float & Spa runs, drawn from their own site and reviews.

🚪Float Cabins

A walk-in enclosure with full standing height — for taller floaters and anyone who wants privacy without a low lid.

🛁Float Rooms

The room itself is the vessel: no hatch, walk straight in. Great for claustrophobia and easier access.

From the reviews

I recently went here for my boyfriends birthday to do the float and it was amazing. The space is relaxing and calming. All of the staff was wonderful from the front desk to the therapists. Kristina and Luis are both wonderful therapists experienced and knowledgeable about their craft and made us feel welcomed.

My husband and I came in for a couples massage with Martha and Luis and it was phenomenal! We came down for a relaxing weekend and this place beyond exceeded expectations. My shoulders have never been so effectively worked on. We would absolutely come back here and definitely would want to do a float there.

★★★★★ — Emily, Feb 2026

This is my new favorite place to relax. Originally I was coming in for a 90 minute massage, little did I know I would be floating in a Magnesium bath to heal my eczema, followed by an infrared sauna and finished with an amazing 90 minute massage with Jason.

★★★★★ — Monik, May 2026

I have visited Desert Serenity Float & Spa several times and the float experience is top-tier. I have found significant value in the physical relaxation and recovery benefits. The facility is well-maintained and the atmosphere promotes true relaxation.

Your first float at Desert Serenity Float & Spa

Never floated before? Almost no one has their first time, and a good center expects it. Here's what to know. What it is: you float effortlessly in about ten inches of skin-temperature water saturated with around 1,000 lbs of Epsom salt — so dense you cannot sink. In the dark and quiet, with no light, sound, or gravity to react to, your nervous system downshifts. Before you come: don't shave or wax for a day beforehand (salt stings fresh cuts — they'll have barrier ointment if you nick yourself), skip caffeine, eat a light meal an hour or two before, and remove contacts. If you colored your hair recently, wait a few days. In the tank: shower first, put earplugs in before you get wet, and keep a fresh-water spray bottle within reach for salt in the eyes. You can leave the light or music on until you settle, then turn them off from inside. Hold your arms out for the first 20–30 seconds to stop bobbing, then let go. It takes a few tries — the first 20 minutes are usually your mind winding down. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to shower and get oriented.

Floating isn't for everyone: skip it with epilepsy, kidney disease, uncontrolled heart conditions, open wounds, a contagious condition, or in the first trimester of pregnancy without your doctor's OK. If in doubt, ask the center and check with a physician — this is general information, not medical advice.
