A Unique Date Idea

Whether for Valentine’s Day or just because, consider a couples’ float at Sapphire Springs.

There’s no denying that this year’s Valentine’s Day celebration planning will not be as easy as the dinner and movie approach that most of us have taken in years past. If you and your significant other are ready for an escape and looking for something you actually can go out and do, consider a local trip to Sapphire Springs Flotation Therapy Spa. 

Adam and Linda, husband and wife, are the new owners of Sapphire Springs in Farmington Hills. Sapphire Springs has the largest float pods in Michigan and offers the only couples float in Michigan! In addition to its mind, body and beauty benefits, Adam said floating really does make for a good Valentine’s Day (or anytime date) activity:

  • You’ll experience a real sense of togetherness while shutting out all external distractions: “Couples are able to be alone together while blocking out external stimuli, including work, kids, bills, cell phones and other stressors.”
  • You have complete control over the experience: “Inside the tank, couples can control the lights, the music and can choose to open or close the tank door.”  
  • You’ll come out feeling relaxed and rejuvenated: “You can achieve a feeling of weightlessness and utter relaxation that cannot be found elsewhere.”

Floating itself is unlike anything else: “It is different, which makes for a unique type of date night.”

Sapphire Springs is committed to providing clients with a comfortable, clean and safe experience. Staff and clients are required to wear face masks (until you enter your private float room), and temperatures are taken at the door. The water in the float tank has a high salt content, preventing bacteria and other microorganisms from surviving within the tank; additionally, it’s filtered thoroughly, zapped with antimicrobial ultraviolet light and sanitized with an odorless and safe disinfectant.

If this sounds like something you’d like to try, you can call (248)-702-0990 or simply book a day and time online at sapphire-springs.com. Adam said Sapphire provides all that you’ll need, including ear plugs and towels, and each float room has a private shower with soap, shampoo, conditioner and even a hair dryer.

“I’d recommend people bringing their own hairbrush and any other lotion or hair product they’d want to apply afterwards,” he said. “I’d also suggest having something light to eat before your float but to not come in directly after a large meal. We want everyone to feel as comfortable as possible.”
