Float Therapy

Kume Spa is a day spa on Grand Avenue in Oakland built around float therapy, with sauna and cryotherapy as add-ons. The main draw is time in a private tank filled with a salt-and-water solution kept at body temperature, so the body floats without effort and sensory input drops to near zero. It's the kind of place people come to alone for an hour of quiet rather than a group outing.

Beyond the float tanks, the facility has an infrared sauna cocoon for those who want warmth and sweat-based recovery, and cryotherapy for a faster, cold-based reset. A relaxation lounge gives a place to settle before or after a session. Reservations are required to book a tank or sauna slot, though walk-ins are accepted if space allows.

Pricing sits in the moderate range, and the studio also sells packages, monthly memberships, and gift cards for people who want to make floating a regular habit rather than a one-off visit. The doors are open seven days a week, 11am to 8:30pm, so there's flexibility for both morning resets and after-work wind-downs.

This is a solo-focused, adults-only environment rather than a couples-spa or resort-style facility. If you're weighing float therapy for stress, sleep, or muscle recovery, or curious about pairing it with sauna and cryo in the same visit, this covers the basics of what's on offer at Kume.
