Koan Float

It’s an interesting experience. However for me was a bit too long 60 min. It’s a floating session in salty water. If you have any open wound, it’s better to wait , heal it and than come. High concentration of the salt will bring you pain. Before and after session you have you take a shower and you can use many items there to dry your hair or clean your make up. If you don’t like small spaces this is not for you . You can always regulate music, light & air. I feel relaxed and maybe for me suit me better 30 mins session.

I have been here many times and will definitely keep coming back. Very friendly and helpful staff and a very clean establishment. The place is small but very nice and efficiently arranged. Another big plus is the location, it is right in the centre of Amsterdam, and close to the train station. I highly recommend this place!

This place is beautifully designed with minimal Japanese vibe decor and ultra clean equipment. I was already a convert to floating having tried a couple of sessions more than 2 years ago. I'd been meaning to try again and recently, after a very stressful week I treated myself to a session.

Overall the session was as restorative as I hoped and I came out feeling 'floaty' and have been chilled ever since. So that's all that really matters. However;

I was a little disappointed that this time, I received zero introduction or reminder what to do. I was simply shown the room in the most minimal way, just 'here is the room, it is ready'. I am fairly sure this is because the host could see from records I had been before, but since it was a long time ago I am surprised she did not offer a chance to be reminded the various protocols like 'the intercom / the airflow / the lights / the earplugs ' etc.

I also questioned why the towels laid out looked like they had already been used because I could see footprints on them. She said 'it's just probably my trainers'. Well, ok I am not a super hygienic obsessed person so I accepted this but when I think about it, it was a little meh. It would not be hard to lay the towels down without stepping on them after?

I don't wish to complain because I love this place and perhaps this is entirely normal. Overall I highly recommend it. It fixes your aches and pains in way even a massage can not.

Had the most incredible massage, beautiful staff, extremely professional, relaxing and overall a great experience. Highly recommend :)

I waited 10 minutes before someone let me in, despite ringing the doorbell and calling the phone number. The staff seems really busy but very kind. The floating was a special experience and everything was clean and well explained. Pricey: €50,- for an hour

This is a gem of a place in busy Amsterdam. I enjoyed an hour float and then a very special massage from therapist Sarvesh Prem. He really cared to give me a special experience that felt very connected and to suited to my needs. Strong hands and warm soul is how I would best describe Sarvesh. What a wonderful experience in this very busy city!

My first time in Amsterdam. I booked Kona 2 months in advance after some research as I love spa experiences.
1) my iCal confused the times and put the timing of my appointment 1 hour later. I realised but I was 15 minutes late to my appointment. Our attendant was so calm and understanding, she let us know she will do her best to accommodate us….she did, we recieved our full hour. Even though it was our fault and not theirs.

2) the feeling of weightlessness really released my back spasms, along with the magnesium salts

3) I almost fell asleep and nodded awake

Tip: use the ear plugs as it stops water going into your ears.

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience and I will be recommending this to my friends when they visit.

Thank you again!

My very first floating experience here at Koan Float was very nice.
- The staff explained where everything is and how it works. - There is tea, water, fruit and cookies if you like some.
- There are books about floating that you can read when you arrived or after floating.

We arrived early so we had time to relax. When I went inside I felt like I was swinging in the water. Later on, this feeling made me nauseous so I took time to sit in the water. I think the next time I will be at ease. It was a bit hard to feel at home because this experience was new and exciting. You have to surrender your power and relax your muscles to fully enjoy the weightless feeling you get in the water.
I definitely recommend floating. It feels uncomfortable at the beginning but I am sure it will get better over time.
I feel extremely calm afterwards :)
