What it's like

Float Spa moved to 125 Church Road in Hove in September 2024, into a 19th-century former bank. The infrared sauna is one part of a wider wellness centre that also does floatation tanks, yoga and massage.

There are two infrared cabins and every session is in your own private room, with its own shower. The venue says you can change the lighting colours with a remote, and connect your phone by Bluetooth to play music through speakers inside. Staff greet you with filtered water. Afterwards there is a "Dream Room" with herbal tea.

Prices are per room: £40 for 30 minutes, £50 for 45 and £65 for 60. The venue doesn't recommend 60 minutes for new users. It suggests starting at around 65°C and keeping first sessions to 30 minutes or less. Towels are provided. Its advice is to sit on a towel with nothing on, though the room is private so that is your call. Nothing is published about parking, age limits or walk-ins.

Who it's for

Anyone who wants an infrared session behind a closed door with a shower attached. The bundles and monthly memberships suit regulars, and there is a seven day programme of three floats plus three 30 minute sauna sessions for £182. It isn't a social sauna and has no cold side.

Good to know

  • The /infrared-sauna/ page and the /infrared-sauna-price/ page repeat the same prices, but the first calls memberships "Monthly Investment" and drops some labels. The price page is the clearer one.
  • Bundles: three 30 minute sessions are £105, ten are £300 and twenty are £500. Three 45 minute sessions are £135 and three 60 minute sessions are £180.
  • Monthly memberships start at two 30 minute sessions for £60 and go up to eight 60 minute sessions for £320. All sauna memberships have a three month minimum.
  • A summer offer of a free hydration sachet with a 30 minute booking is still on the site. It is labelled "this summer" so it may have lapsed.
  • Gift cards run from £50 to £1,000 and are valid for three months. They can't be used on special offers.
  • There is no cold plunge listed, and changing rooms, lockers and accessibility aren't described.
