Float Lounge Resurfaces
The Float Lounge, which allows patrons to experience weightlessness in a flotation tank, re-opens Saturday, Jan. 23, at 1031 S. Coast Highway, in the Hip District.
The business operated for three years in its original location in Woods Cove but had been on hiatus since last June as the owners looked for a place to relocate.
The new location will continue to offer floatation and light therapy in private float tanks filled with Epsom salt saturated warm water. “From detoxifying and rehabilitating to rest and meditation, our float tanks have gained popularity since reintroducing them to Orange County,” co-owner Rosanne Ramirez said in a statement. She operates the business with her partner, Jeff Brion, and both are local residents.
