Yes, we know it looks a little like a spaceship.
But what’s happening inside is actually pretty simple.
Warm water. About 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt. No phone. No conversation. No gravity pulling at you. Very little asking for your attention.
And for 60 or 90 minutes, there’s really nothing you’re supposed to be doing.
Floating is where Areté started back in 2018. We’re a locally owned wellness studio in downtown Carrboro, just outside Chapel Hill, offering float therapy alongside infrared sauna, cold plunge, red light therapy and massage.
Never floated?
We’ll show you exactly how everything works. Then we’ll shut the door and leave you gloriously alone.
First-timers can start with our New Guest Float Special.
