Construction of £250m tropical resort next to Trafford Centre confirmed to begin next year

A huge new tropical environment will be opening near the Trafford Centre in the next few years and it looks incredible. 

Therme Group has now confirmed that the UK’s first city-based wellbeing resort will begin construction next year, with completion set for 2023. 

The £250 million project will combine hundreds of water-based activities with wellbeing treatments, art, nature and technology to create a unique experience never before seen in the UK.

The development will also create hundreds of jobs, and build social cohesion with an experience that is inclusive, accessible and, most important, affordable to all.

Therme Manchester will also meet the growing need for staycations with a perfect tropical environment to treat yourself in. 

Therme Manchester will have a dedicated adults’ area with warm-water lagoons, spectacular botanical gardens, therapeutic mineral pools and beautifully designed steam rooms and saunas. 

There will also be daily programming including water-based fitness classes and spaces for yoga, pilates and other activities – for the ultimate self-care day.

The resort will use state-of-the-art plant-based filtration to purify the environment, making it fresh air and the cleanest ozone-treated water.

The technology-driven group places a huge focus on hygiene and safety, constantly developing new approaches and working with public authorities to meet future health and wellbeing needs.

Richard Land, Chief Development Officer of Therme Group UK, commented: “Therme Group is based on a belief that wellbeing should be accessible for all. The events of 2020 have shone a light on the necessity of this mission, especially for those in cities.

“Therme Manchester will redefine city wellbeing, enhancing mental and physical health through an experience-based in water and nature. Therme Manchester will offer a unique holiday at home, that acts as a catalyst for healthy lifestyles.”

Therme Group’s vision is to create the world’s most advanced resort, which helps to maintain and restore physical and mental health for those that visit. 

The large scale project combines nature and technology for a unique health experience here in Manchester, designed to be affordable to all. 

It’s set to be Manchester’s very own urban oasis complete with an indoor tropical ecosystem. What do you think, will you be going when this opens?
