Rest Float Spa & Wellness Centre: Gisborne's Only Float Spa and Recovery Centre

On Palmerston Road in Gisborne, Rest Float Spa & Wellness Centre describes itself as the region's only Float Spa & Recovery Centre, bringing together relaxation and recovery therapies under one roof.

Float Therapy at the Core

Float therapy sits at the heart of what Rest Float Spa offers, with float pods designed to help visitors relax fully. One of the most common concerns people raise is claustrophobia, but Rest Float Spa is clear that you can float with the pod lid open the entire time. Guests control the whole experience - stopping at any point, floating with the lights on or off, opening and closing the lid as they like, and choosing whether to float with or without music. The team encourages guests to share how they like to float so each session can be tailored to them.

Recovery Therapies

Beyond floating, Rest Float Spa offers a full suite of recovery treatments, including ice baths for contrast therapy, an infrared sauna, and compression therapy - all aimed at helping the body recover and reset.

Massage and Beauty Treatments

For those after a more traditional treatment, the centre offers Aromatherapy Massage, Swedish Massage and a dedicated Pregnancy Massage. Rounding out the offering are facials, waxing and teeth whitening, giving visitors the option to combine recovery-focused treatments with more classic spa and beauty services in a single visit.

Join the Members Club

Regular visitors can join Rest Float Spa's members club, which allows floating for less and is designed to encourage a sustained self-care practice over time. Membership options are available at different levels, starting from as little as one session per month, so visitors can choose the level of "self-care" that fits their lifestyle.
