How to get there

To get to Koan Float, take tram lines 1,2 or 5 from the Central Station and get off at Spui, which is the third stop. Walk along the same direction as the tram and take a right at the first corner. Now take the narrow walkway between Café Hoppe and Café Zwart, cross over the Singel Canal and walk on towards the next canal, which is Herengracht. Turn right and walk for another 50 metres, where you’ll find Herengracht 321, aka Koan Float.

Our Locals' Tip: The floatation therapy at Koan Float is particularly good after a long flight or a heavy night out in Amsterdam. If you are here for a business meeting or big presentation floating will also relieve your stress or anxiety.

Imagine yourself to be floating in warm saltwater, weightless, with all your troubles and worries vanishing away into nothingness. You're in an insulated chamber, peacefully meditating while submerged in water, with soothing music and scented candles to keep you company. Welcome to Koan Float, haven of stress-relief and one of the best ways to unwind in Amsterdam.

Koan Float is an initiative of the Ambassade Hotel and was founded in 1997. The serene float and massage centrum is located in a 17th Century building along the Herengracht, one of Amsterdam's several historic canals. Koan Float provides the perfect atmosphere for a unique and transient form of relaxation, using age old wisdom to impart modern-day wellness experiences.

What to do here

Going to Koan Float, you have several options in front of you, the most popular being the floatation and one of the many forms of massage therapy. Let's talk a bit about the floating first. Using a cushion of silken saline water, the temperature is kept at a snug 35.5 degrees Celsius. The floating provides an amazing feeling of weightlessness that gives your body and muscles a chance to escape the constant force of gravity and relax with slower breathing and a lower heart rate.

Coming to the massages, Koan Float has a plethora of massages for you to choose from. Massage sessions typically last for 45 minutes or an hour, although you can request for longer durations if you haven't had enough. Some of the massages on offer include exotic names like the Shiatsu Massage, Cranio Sacral Balancing, Boja Massage, Esalen Massage or the Aqama Massage.
