In short: the best treat-yourself gift in Saigon this year-end is time, not another thing: an hour in which no one calls your name. At Ōmni Space in Thảo Điền a single float is 1,500,000 VND (60 min) or 2,000,000 VND (90 min), and the Intro Pack gives you three 90-minute floats for 3,000,000 VND, 50% off the usual 6,000,000 VND.
This one is for you, the person who remembered everyone this year. You knew which teacher liked orchids, which colleague was leaving, what your mum would never buy for herself. You booked the restaurant, answered the late messages, carried other people’s deadlines as if they were yours. This year you found a gift for everyone you love, except yourself. Read on for a gift that needs no wrapping, a simple way to choose the right treat for the year you actually had, and a gentle rhythm to carry the calm into the new one.
The gift that needs no wrapping: an hour no one calls your name
Think about the last time you had an hour with nothing to answer. No phone buzzing, no one needing a decision, no small voice in your head writing tomorrow’s list. For most people who look after others, that hour simply does not come on its own. So this year, give it to yourself.
Float therapy is one of the simplest ways to get it. You lie back in about 25 cm of warm water with dense, mineral-rich Epsom salt dissolved in it, so your body floats on its own, no swimming and no effort. The water sits at about 33–34 °C, close to skin temperature, so after a while it becomes hard to tell where you end and the water begins. The room is private, with its own shower, and you do not need a swimsuit. You can float in soft light or in total darkness. If you are new to it, start with what float therapy is.
Why a little rhythm beats a one-off treat
A single float feels lovely. Many guests describe walking out lighter, as if the volume of the day had been turned down. But the body learns to rest a bit like it learns anything else: through repetition. In a Swedish trial, 65 working adults floated 12 times over seven weeks and reported less stress and anxiety and better sleep than a waiting group (Kjellgren and Westman, 2014). In a 2025 survey of 83 regular floaters, people said the effects lasted one to four days (Hilpert and Chis Ster). That is why we suggest treating yourself in a series rather than in one big moment.
Ōmni Evidence Scale: Strong evidence, for float and stress. Several trials point the same way. We rate it Strong because, on top of these trials, user experience is overwhelmingly positive: in a 2025 survey of regular floaters, 92% reported relaxation and 77% less stress, echoed by thousands of reviews, Reddit threads and forums, and by athletes and public figures who float. See how we rate evidence on the Ōmni Evidence Scale.
What kind of year did you have? Self-care gift ideas to match
Be honest with yourself for a moment, then pick the row that sounds most like your year:
| Your year | Your treat | Price |
|---|---|---|
| You have always been curious, but never tried it | One 60-minute float | 1,500,000 VND |
| You carried everyone: family, team, friends | One 90-minute float, the long exhale | 2,000,000 VND |
| A long, heavy year, and you want to feel the difference | Intro Pack: three 90-minute floats | 3,000,000 VND (50% off 6,000,000 VND) |
| You and your partner barely saw each other | Couple float, 90 minutes, one shared pool | 2,700,000 VND |
| You want the rhythm, and someone to share it with | Intro Pack, bringing your partner along | 3,000,000 VND + 700,000 VND per shared session |
If you would rather be spoiled than spend, here is a quiet trick: when someone asks what you want this year, send them the gift card page. They choose the amount, and when you come in, the team helps you pick the session that fits it. Read more about the couple float or see all float prices in Ho Chi Minh City.
The Intro Pack: a treat-yourself gift with a rhythm
The Intro Pack is three 90-minute floats for 3,000,000 VND, half of the 6,000,000 VND they would cost one by one. It is a personal pack for one person. You can start your first float any time within one year of buying it, and then use all three within three months of that first float. That window is the point: close enough together that your body starts to recognise the feeling, spread out enough to fit around a busy end of year.
Want company now and then? Bring your partner into the Couple Room for any session for an extra 700,000 VND. The float is still yours; they just get to share the quiet.
A treat-yourself rhythm for year-end self-care in Ho Chi Minh City
This is a suggestion from the Ōmni team, not a prescription. Move it around your life, not the other way round:
| When | Your float | Why then |
|---|---|---|
| Float 1: the last weeks of the year | 90 minutes, in total darkness if you like | To close the year: put down what you carried, before the parties and the travel |
| Float 2: about a month later | 90 minutes, on a weekday evening | When the new year speeds up again and the first good intentions start to wobble |
| Float 3: about a month after that | 90 minutes, maybe with your partner | To notice what has changed, and decide whether rest stays in your routine |
Busy evenings are fine: Ōmni is open until 21:00 and the last float starts at 20:00. Before your first visit, have a look at our first-float guide so you know exactly what to expect.
A note to yourself
It may feel odd to write yourself a card. Write one anyway, and read it on the way in:
You remembered everyone this year. Now it is your turn to be remembered.
For one hour, nobody needs you. And that is completely fine.
Thank you for carrying so much. You can put it down now, at least for an hour.
Next year, I promise to look after you the way you look after everyone else.

Three 90-minute floats for 3,000,000 VND, 50% off 6,000,000 VND. Start within one year of buying, then use all three within three months of your first float.
