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 Paradise Float Spa - Annapolis 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.

Water & cleaning at Paradise Float Spa - Annapolis

Sanitation is the thing seasoned floaters care about most, and most directories never show it. Between every float, the salt water should be pumped through fine filtration and disinfected — salt alone is not enough. From Paradise Float Spa - Annapolis's own information: UV sterilization, ozone, hydrogen peroxide.

The float-industry standard is turning the entire volume of water over at least three times between sessions through a 1–10 micron filter, paired with UV and/or hydrogen peroxide or ozone. If a center doesn't publish its process, it's fair to ask.

From the reviews

Great experience!! This is only my second time floating but such a huge difference than the prior experience. Paradise takes everything into account from explaining the process, to having lights that you can control in the tub for added comfort level down to luxurious towels for your shower!

★★★★★ — Daniel, Aug 2017

Best float experience I've ever had! I was traveling for a wedding and stopped in to unwind while in town, seriously the best decision. I tried their hot tub room, which is just like visiting the hot springs and such a great experience, especially since it's the closest I'll probably ever get to a hot spring.

Will, the owner was super helpful. One of the ideas he had for this business was to turn one of the float rooms into a hot room. The water is hot like a hot tub and you can get in and out of the tub and into the private shower area and take a cold shower, cool off and then get back in the tub (depravation chamber).

★★★★★ — Michael, Apr 2024

First experience and I was pleasantly surprised how relaxed I was. I almost fell asleep twice in the hour i was in the chamber. You float very easily, and i love the head disc so you're not self conscious about keeping your head and face above the water. I'm not leaving 5 stars becuase overall it's a very...

Your first float at Paradise Float Spa - Annapolis

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.
