The short version: Tết, the Lunar New Year, falls on Saturday 6 February 2027. Almost every Tết wish in Vietnam begins with sức khỏe, good health. This year, give exactly that: an Ōmni Space float therapy gift card from 1,500,000 VND, valid for 12 months, sent by email or Zalo on the first morning of Tết, or as a physical gift card delivered by Grab for free within Ho Chi Minh City. For teams, shareable packages start at 1,500,000 VND per session.
Tết is when everyone goes home to the people they love. But before that moment come the busiest weeks of the year: closing the books, year-end parties, shopping, cleaning, and the long journey home. Everyone gives a little extra so the holiday is perfect for someone else.
So alongside the usual tin of biscuits, consider a gift few people think of: real rest. 60 to 120 minutes in a private room that is dark and quiet. No phone, no noise, nobody to look after. Just them, and the stillness.
What is float therapy, exactly?
Float therapy (also called Floatation-REST or sensory deprivation) means lying back in skin-temperature water with 500 kg of Epsom salt dissolved in it. The water is so dense that the body floats on its own: no swimming, no effort, and no way to sink. The room is fully light-proof and almost completely silent. With gravity, light and sound taken away, the nervous system finally gets a chance to slow down.
Here’s what the person you give it to will experience:
- They arrive about 10 minutes early for a short introduction and video.
- They have a private room with its own float pool and shower. Fresh towels, toiletries and earplugs are ready. Swimsuit or nothing at all, whatever feels comfortable.
- They lie back and float. The lights start soft, like dusk, and can go fully dark. Then, for 60 to 120 minutes, there is nothing to do and nowhere to be.
- Afterwards they shower and take a few quiet minutes in the lounge before heading back into the city.

Why it’s a gift worth giving
- It’s the rest they wouldn’t buy for themselves. Most of us feel a little guilty spending money on doing nothing. A gift gives them permission.
- It’s truly switched off. Unlike a massage or a spa day, there’s no one talking, no music and no phone: just darkness, silence and weightlessness. Very few places in Saigon offer that.
- The research is encouraging. In a 2018 study in PLOS ONE, a single one-hour float substantially reduced anxiety in 50 people with stress- and anxiety-related conditions. A 2014 study of 12 floats over seven weeks found less stress and better sleep. We describe floating as rest, not treatment, but it’s rest with good science behind it.
- It’s new and memorable. Most people have never floated, so it becomes a story they’ll tell. Studies also show that experiences make people happier for longer than things, and bring giver and receiver closer (Van Boven and Gilovich, 2003; Chan and Mogilner, 2017).
- It suits almost anyone. It’s private, no swimming skills are needed, and it can be enjoyed alone or as a couple.
- There’s no rush. Gift cards are valid for 12 months, so they can choose the moment they need it most.
A gift for everyone you’re thankful for
For work and home
- For your Vietnamese team: alongside the Tết bonus, a gift that says you care how they feel, not just how they perform. Shareable packages of 10 to 100 sessions bring each 90-minute float to 1,500,000–1,800,000 VND. See corporate wellness packages.
- For business partners and clients: a thank-you for a year of working together, instead of another hamper. A 1,500,000 or 2,000,000 VND card. Need several at once? Just ask, and we’ll have them ready.
- For the people who look after your home: your housekeeper, driver or building staff. Tết is when Vietnam says thank you, and an hour of real rest is a thoughtful way to say it.
For family
- For your in-laws or your partner’s parents: they spend weeks preparing Tết for everyone; now it’s their turn to rest. A 60- or 90-minute float. If they have a health condition, share our first-float guide and check with a doctor if unsure.
- For your partner: a quiet date in the busiest season of the year. A 3,000,000 VND card covers a 90-minute Couple Room float, two people in one pool.
- For family flying home for Tết: after a long flight and days of visits, a quiet float gives them real rest.
- For a friend who is expecting: being fully supported by the water can feel wonderful during pregnancy. Ask them to check with their doctor first, and to let us know when they book.
For friends
- For the friend who works too hard or sleeps badly: Tết is a time to recharge. A 90-minute float, and our 4-week plan for better sleep if it helps.
- For the athlete: a float with a cold plunge (2,200,000 VND) to start the year recovered.
- For the meditator or yogi: a float with Brainwaves Neuro Align (+200,000 VND), to begin the year in stillness.
- For Korean and Chinese friends: Seollal and the Spring Festival fall on the same day, 6 February 2027, so this works as a New Year gift for them too. Our website is also in Korean and Chinese.
And for you
Start the new year with a lighter mind. The Introduction Package gives you three 90-minute floats for 3,000,000 VND, half the regular price.
