Cloud9 Float & Spa

This place is lovely, relaxing as soon as you walk in the door. Each room is beautiful. I felt guilty for showing up frazzled, after underestimating traffic on 41, since it was such a nice calm place. I immediately ditched that attitude. My Number One and I came for a nice spa morning and left relaxed– finally! We’ve only been on vacation for five whole days :) It was my boyfriend’s first professional massage and he loved it. I had a massage and facial. It was a great treat for both of us. We left feeling like jello. I will be telling our local friends about this place and would love to return on our next trip down.

First Float!!! Utterly relaxing experience. As an MD, I am intrigued by the vast untapped potential for floatation tanks, after reading the explorations of them by Michael Hutchison. The closest tank to our home is 100 miles away. Luckily, we discovered Cloud 9 before our trip to Naples, and were excited to book a session.
The Cloud 9 float was a great intro to the world of floating, starting even before the float with their most excellent website, where great info about floating can be found. Scheduling was easy and efficient and the followup emails told us everything we needed to know to prepare.
From the moment we stepped in the door, we found the environment very soothing and very conducive to a great float experience. It’s clear they understand the importance of the ambience to optimize the experience. The entire facility is clean, clean, and pristine throughout, and that of course is especially important in the tank room whose lay out and ambience is excellent. Our «guide» gave is good instruction and preparation for getting into the tank. The Samadhi tank is the classic, and is very spacious so you aren’t bumping into the sides once you get settled in.
Straight up – it’s important to acknowledge that the experience in the tank-​other than providing the sensory restriction— is completely «all on you» and what gestalt you bring into it. So my experience is completely irrelevant to anyone else’s, and has no bearing on Cloud 9. The tank did deliver the appropriate environment to achieve the very restricted sensory input. I advise closing the entry door completely as soon as you can get comfortable doing so so that the air and water temperatures are identical (and skin temperature.) I will say that I found the experience extremely relaxing and did briefly at times enjoy the sense of «body dissolving» so essential to achieving the deepest benefit. I am excited about further sessions and so appreciate Cloud 9 for providing such a great introduction to floating.
Thank you, Cloud 9 for leading the way in providing an excellent flotation experience in the Naples area! We look forward to more floats as soon as we return to the Naples area.

I first visited Cloud 9 when my regular masseur, James, began working there as a massage therapist. He gave me a really effective, therapeutic deep tissue massage – maybe the best one I’ve ever had. When he told me about the $ 120 one-​hour massage, one-​hour isolation tank float special, I made an appointment. I knew the massage would be outstanding. But it was my first «float» so I was a little nervous. James explained everything to me, how the salt content would keep me buoyant and that I should relax, close my eyes and «just be.» So I did. And it was an incredible relaxing way to end the massage. I recommend James, Cloud 9 and the float experience to everyone.

Cloud9 Spa is awesome! Everything in their mission statement is accurate and true. This peaceful, tranquil, stylishly designed in a relaxed-​zen-​like-​boutique-​spa way is located in a quiet central Naples building on US41. It is easily accessible from the building’s back parking lot. I’m a big fan of the Epsom Float Tank! If you’ve never done a float, to Cloud9 Spa you must go! I like to float in the ocean, however parts of me still submerge, and with the bright sun, tides, waves, ambient voices and occasional run-​in with seaweed and critters, it doesn’t come close to the rejuvinating bliss I feel after an hour in the Cloud9 Float Tank. Your body is literally floating on top of room temperature water containing thousands of pounds of (dissolved) Epsom Salt. In your own private tank, once in, you shut the door and are isolated from light, sight and sound. Just you and your thoughts, void of distraction, meditating to the rhythm of your own breath in zero gravity, no pressure on your limbs, neck, back, spine or muscles. On occasion you may doze off. I haven’t been this relaxed in years, not even in bed at night. After 50 minutes, they turn on a gentle water circulator which is your que to disembark the tank. Once out into the private room warmed by overhead red headlamps, you can rinse off, enjoying the fresh towels and everything you could possibly need for shower time (even Q-​Tips)! They are staffed w skilled professionals to give awesome facials & massage and have a great private sauna and oxygen bar. Kristen is your first point of contact, the person you’ll speak with when calling to make an appointment or when you walk in for your first visit. No one could be more suitable for this job, as her demeanor is very calm, happy, pleasant and helpful. She’ll guide you thru all you need to know to maximize your Cloud9 Spa experience. I love that they sell products, on offer are delicious candles, gorgeous Amethyst rocks, an awesome skincare line, jewelry and nutritional supplements. For me, the intention of visiting a spa and receiving treatments is to restore my inner and outer being. My desired result is to feel healthier mentally, physically and spiritually during and in the minutes, hours and days after. An indulgence in Cloud9 Spa achieves all this and more!
