Weightless relaxation awaits.

I have been to several float spas and Drift is by far the best. The staff is thoughtful and informative and the facility has always been spotless. I highly recommend Drift for any of their services.

60 minute float pod

Booked two 60 minute floats for Black Friday. Staff was great about preparing us prior to arrival. Experience was amazing. Totally relaxing and stress relieving. Location was easy to find too.

Float pod

I'm relatively new to the float experience. This was something I had heard about for years and wanted to try. I was surprised and excited that there was a little place in Greenville! I've had all three of my floats now, and while I'm still personally not sure if it's for me as a practice, I am sure that I will probably not come back, for reasons that will become clear. (Skip to "cons") but in the interest of fairness, I will list the pros and the cons: Pros: - Friendly, helpful staff, a lot of them have floated before and can offer helpful perspective and tips - Complimentary tea before or after your float / service, - Personalized name on the door of the suite with a fun moniker (mine was Joyful Jellyfish), - The suite is quiet, maybe soundproof? Not sure, - Can play your own music if you wish and request different lights, no lights etc. - Actual float pod is pretty nice, though I admittedly have limited experience. I liked that it was easy to open and close and had a gap to keep things from getting stuffy. - Fresh towel and washcloth, and there is body wash, shampoo, and conditioner available, including shampoo and conditioner for kinky / curly hair types, like mine (4c), so that was very nice. - complimentary ear plugs, comb, petroleum jelly (for cuts and the like), and makeup wipe The cons, including my personal death knell: - The floor of the shower is pretty slick, it's some kind of marble looking texture that, frankly, feels unsafe to be on. Some sort of non-slip material would be a better choice, that's a lawsuit waiting to happen. And only one of the suites I've been in had a safety bar. I'm also not sure how often they clean those. - The towels provided, while clean, are pretty rough in texture. If you decide to go here I would definitely recommend bringing your own. - there is no separation of the floor for the spa and float pod. Both are on what appears to be a non-slip material of some kind, but it holds water and gets everywhere, and sometimes is left over for the next person :/ not a fan - The Death Knell: on my third and final float, while in the lobby, a person brought in their dog, used the bathroom, then checked in for a float appointment?? I'm deeply confused as to why dogs are allowed in a place like a spa, where people are getting intimate and hygienic treatments, let alone in the float suite itself?? And not only was the person allowed to do that, the person checking in behind them remarked that they were thinking they should have brought their dog as well, and the staff member just laughed. I was very disappointed to witness this, as Drift has a lot of things I genuinely like. However with the combination of the awkward setup and questionable hygiene, I don't think I'll be back. If an actual animal in a spa doesn't bother you, you'll be quite at home.

Had an excellent experience at Drift! I opted for the 60 minute float and it was my first time, the staff member I interacted with was friendly and willing to answer any questions I had about the float experience. Very relaxing environment and clean, I had such a great experience I had to book a few more sessions before leaving! A must try!

Went today for my first float and it was great! The staff were nice and very informative. It was very relaxing and I will definitely be back to try different services!

Had my second Float today and brought along a friend for her first. Again, excellent service, welcoming, inviting, trusting. The second float was totally different from my first. And like the employee said when I was chucking out "each float is totally different." Which seems to be so true. It is hard to stop thinking about all the things one needs to do...but this time I was able to stop my constant planning/thinking in spurts and find that sweet total relaxation spot. Will be back! I need to try the Lucia Light too!

Luxury toiletries in the bathroom. I love using the salt scrub samples!

I found Drift in looking for local infrared sauna options. I had seen a sauna in Charlotte with slightly higher prices, so at a more modest price point, I walked in with zero expectations. And, WOW. Drift is a fabulous spa! The facility is extremely modern and luxurious, far nicer than I was expecting. I was blown away. I've only used the infrared sauna and the lounge here, and both are very nice. The sauna can be a challenge if you are heat-intolerant as I tend to be. When I mentioned this to Kelly, the owner, when I met her, she recommended I try different automatic programs, which run at various temperatures. I've done this and it helps a lot - I find it much more comfortable being below 140° than above it. Also included are cold water and cold, scented towels to use getting out of the sauna. These cool towels feel absolutely amazing on hot skin! I personally am using the sauna to try to treat hypothyroidism and low body temperature, which I'm assuming may take a while (if it works at all), and I don't really like heat, so I really had no expectations for immediate results. But, after my first session, I realized shortly afterward that the pain I've been having in my shoulder had basically evaporated. This made me want more! I immediately bought an unlimited package, good for 30 days and which is the same cost as 4 sessions. The price already seems fair, and this package makes the price point highly accessible. This has helped me with pain relief and also wound healing so far. And, using the spa is just a pleasure. There's a small parking lot right in front of the door, street parking very nearby, and a parking deck. The staff are all friendly and the bathrooms are outfitted luxuriously. I'm a little afraid of the float pods, but the rest of the experience is so nice, I feel I may have to try it. They offer a "newbie" float package of basically buy 2, get 1 free, saying you really need to do it 3 times to try it. I'd say the same for the sauna; I've definitely acclimated and am enjoying it more after a few sessions. Great local biz, highly recommend!

Best 2 hours of meditations in the saunas with John and Nichole, massages, & connections made this…read moreevening at the sauna disco!! Best spa with it all right here in gvl, how lucky are we!!!

My husband and I booked a private room at Sauna House in Greenville for two hours at $250. Overall,…read morewe enjoyed the experience, and there were several things we really loved, but a few small details could have made it even better. The Nordic sauna was fantastic. When you poured water onto the hot stones, it released the most wonderful essential oil aroma. It was one of my favorite parts of the experience, and honestly, I would have loved to have that same scent in my home. The shower toiletries were also really nice and smelled amazing. They had them available for purchase, but we decided to wait and not bring any home this time. Everything was very clean, the towels were great, and the overall space felt well maintained and sanitary. I also loved that they offered three different playlists you could scan and listen to during your session. It was such a simple but thoughtful touch because you could create the atmosphere you wanted without having to search Google or Spotify for something to play. The heated bench between the sauna and cold plunge was another nice feature, giving you a place to sit between rounds. However, it wasn't as comfortable or relaxing as I would have liked because the back wasn't high enough to lean back comfortably. Since the private rooms can accommodate up to four people, I also don't think all four people would comfortably fit on the bench at the same time. We also ordered the fancier adaptogen drinks for $6.50 each. I assumed they would be served in a glass with ice and maybe a garnish, but we were simply handed two cans. That was probably my own expectation, but at that price point, a little presentation would have made the experience feel more elevated. My biggest complaint was the shoe situation. You have to remove your shoes before heading back toward the private rooms, which is understandable. However, the bathrooms are also located back that way, so if you need to use the restroom, you have to walk barefoot into it. No slippers were offered, and that was something I found uncomfortable from a hygiene standpoint, especially in an otherwise very clean space. Overall, we had a good experience and enjoyed having a private space to relax and experience the sauna and cold plunge together. The sauna itself, the aromatherapy, the playlists, the quality towels, and the shower products were all highlights. For $250, though, I think a few small details would have made a big difference. More comfortable seating, slippers for the walk to the restroom, and a little more attention to the drink presentation would have taken the experience from good to great.

Lovely spa .... Excellent service .. Gerardo was my masseuse.. very good... professional…read more.. listened to pressure preferences and executed flawlessly. I got the 60 min full body deep tissue massage with the body butter treatment!! It even had a table where they can make it lower in places ( like for our boobies... it was amazing never been somewhere where they had tables like that.... So comfy) Will be back

I booked a 6pm massage the night of our arrival, and loved it so much I went back the next day…read more It's a quaint spa on the bottom floor of the Grand Bohemian (floor F1). I was immediately greeted and shown into the dressing area. There are electronic lockers, bathroom, shower, and vanity areas with all hygiene products provided. Inside each assigned locket is a bathrobe, towel, and plastic slippers. The relaxation room is small, however there's only 5 treatment rooms so it doesn't need to be massive. I completed the waiver and began hydrating. I met my masseuse, Nicey (pronounced Nissey) and she was absolutely incredible! Her background is in medical massage, and I was blown away by her assessment of my body when she finished. I also opted for hot stones and the CBD oils during this massage. Nicey did WORK on my body and muscles, but a good kind of work, much much needed. She was so kind. While I was changing I debated on asking about her availability. I inquired when checking out and was able to book the next day! I also chose the CBD oils again. Pretty sure I snored during this massage. It was SO relaxing. This will be my first spot next trip to Greenville! Much like the hotel, the marble work inside the treatment rooms is incredible. I left my phone in my locker so I don't have photos. FYI The spa does automatically charge at least 18% gratuity to the card on file. *note for previous review: the waiver addresses they do not provide alcohol (it can disrupt the therapeutic value); and the hotel does not have a pool for guests or non-guests.

I was greeted by two sweet staff at the front, then was led to a waiting area with organic tea, water, and other beverage options. It was such a peaceful entrance experience. Then I was escorted by the nail technician named Candace to a beautifully set up room for my pedicure. They use a real tub (I think ceramic) that they thoroughly clean after each customer and not the cheap plastic lining like other cheaper salons use. They have high end polish options and I just enjoyed my experience at the spa so much! Will come back every time I need to get my nails done. Thank you team at The Altar Spa, for the wonderful experience!

The Altar Spa is located in a beautiful facility in the basement of a historic bank building. First of all kudos to Ashley who scheduled everything on short notice. Our facial's were incredible; Kass and Nicole both provided treatment that was just right for our skin types, plus they were so kind. Candace our nail technician and worked wonders on our feet and nails. Plus she appreciated our jokes and banter. Last, Dustin and April our massage therapists were equally talented and again addressed the problem areas we both have. Don't skip the back exfoliation and hot stones!
