True REST Float Spa in Hillcrest is a day spa built around one thing: floating. The signature offering is a 60-minute float in a sensory-deprivation tank, priced at $89, meant to take pressure off the body and quiet the mind for an hour.
Beyond the float rooms, the spa has an oxygen bar on site, a simpler add-on for anyone who wants a quick reset without committing to a full session. This isn't a spa with saunas, pools or massage suites — the focus stays narrow and specific to flotation therapy and oxygen.
Walk-ins are welcome, but reservations are required, so calling ahead or booking online before showing up is the practical move here. The spa keeps long hours most days, opening at 10am and running until 10pm Tuesday through Sunday, with a shorter Monday window starting at 4pm.
At a moderate price tier, this fits visitors looking for a single, targeted wellness stop rather than a full spa day with multiple treatments. It's a straightforward pick for first-time floaters or regulars in San Diego's Hillcrest neighborhood who want to drop in for an hour of sensory downtime.
