Float On: Unique Valentine's Day Ideas

With Valentine's Day nearly here, you may be looking for a way to make your loved one feel especially cherished. Flowers and candy are the default for many—and there's nothing wrong with that! They're considered classics for a reason. However, if you're searching for a unique Valentine's Day idea, we have a couple of suggestions that fit that description and may even help you and your partner foster a closer connection. And isn't that what Valentine's Day is all about?

A Valentine's Day Date for Two

Romance is theoretically the name of the game on Valentine's Day, but in today's fast-paced world in which we're all constantly on the go and overstimulated, nothing is better than a Valentine's Day date that promotes deep relaxation. While a float tank session might not be front of mind when you think of romantic Valentine's Day ideas, it certainly fits the bill. Book a session for you and your partner, and while you each float in separate pods, together you will experience the mental, emotional and physical benefits that only weightlessly floating in purified water and 1,200 pounds of epsom salts can bring. You'll both be free of distractions and relaxed into a meditative state away from your stressors. When you emerge, you'll be more calm, less anxious and quite possibly better able to connect to your partner. All you need to bring to your float appointment is yourselves—we provide towels, showers, soap, shampoo, and everything else you might need. As relaxing Valentine's Day ideas go, this one is just an online reservation away.

A Valentine's Day Date that Goes Above and Beyond

Valentine's Day skeptics say that when you really love your partner, every day should be Valentine's Day. We're not going to wade into the middle of that discussion, but we will say that the benefits of float therapy increase the more you do it. So in the spirit of making Valentine's Day an ongoing celebration, it's worth noting that you can sign your partner up for our Self-Care Club and they can float regularly. There are different tiers of the Self-Care Club, beginning at one session per month for a monthly fee of $59, all the way up to four sessions per month for $199. And if your partner is feeling especially generous toward you, our Self-Care Club membership allows for the sharing of a membership with one other person. And members can add additional sessions for just $49 each. Flowers fade, candy gets eaten, but a Self-Care Club membership is a unique Valentine's Day idea that gives all year long.

A Valentine's Day Date that Brings the Heat

While we're on the subject of unique Valentine's Day ideas, float therapy isn't the only relaxing Valentine's Day date on offer at Urban Float. You can also schedule a session for you and your partner in our infrared sauna. Like float therapy, our infrared saunas bring about a state of deep relaxation and enhanced spiritual, mental and emotional well-being. Through the use of clean-infrared, far-infrared and near-infrared light, the body is able to purge toxins through sweat. And while "purging toxins" might not be at the top of your list of romantic Valentine's Day date ideas, sitting in a comfortable and private room with your partner while being warmed by the gentle heat of an infrared sauna as it eases your aches and pains, and assists in physical and emotional relaxation probably sounds pretty heavenly. Our infrared sauna is available at the following locations:

  • Columbus, OH

  • Vancouver, WA

  • University Place, WA

  • Renton, WA

  • Orange County, CA

We hope we've given you some unique Valentine's Day ideas to consider. Give your partner the gift of relaxation and improved physical, mental and emotional well-being with a spa day for Valentine's Day at Urban Float.
