What is a floating sound bath?

A sound bath is a deeply restful session in which you simply lie back while soothing instruments are played around you. There is nothing to do and nothing to get right.

We bring it onto the water. Each guest rests on their own floating bed in a pool, lake or pond, eyes closed, while the gentle movement of the water and the layered sound invite the mind to quieten.

  • Weightless restSupported by the water, the body softens in a way that is hard to find on land.
  • Live, layered soundSinging bowls and chimes are played live, so tone and vibration move around you.
  • A setting to slow downHotel pools under old trees, candlelit evenings and hilltop views, chosen with care.

How a session unfolds

From the moment you arrive to the last sip of juice, the whole experience is paced to help you slow down.

  1. Arrive

    Check in and enjoy an infused welcome drink while everything is prepared for you.

  2. Settle

    Find your floating bed, ease onto the water and get comfortable with a soft towel and an eye mask.

  3. The sound journey

    Singing bowls and chimes are played live around the water, layering tone and vibration as you drift.

  4. Return

    The sound fades slowly. Take your time to come back, stretch and rise when you are ready.

  5. Nourish

    Linger over artisanal Greek yogurt bowls, multigrain tea sandwiches and freshly squeezed juice.

None at all. Our sessions are designed to feel welcoming to complete beginners and seasoned practitioners alike.

You rest on a stable floating bed for the whole session. If you feel unsure around water, let us know when you book and we will help you settle in comfortably.

Comfortable clothes you can relax in and don't mind getting a little damp. Evening sessions can feel cooler, so a light layer helps.

Timings vary by venue and format. Every booking confirmation includes the full schedule, from arrival and welcome to the sound journey and nourishment afterwards.

Please speak to your doctor first and tell us when you book, so we can advise whether a session is right for you.

Yes. We host floating sound baths for celebrations, retreats and intimate gatherings. Plan a private event.
