🚨 COMING SOON: The UK's biggest indoor spa is being built in Manchester 🌴

Pirates, if you fancy the feeling of a tropical holiday but don't want to fly anywhere, here's something those in Manchester can look forward to!

Therme Manchester is planned as a wellbeing complex with water slides, thermal pools heated to 33 degrees, relaxation areas and wellness treatments - all surrounded by palm trees and housed under glass domes. The £500-million project near Trafford has now broken ground, with construction starting last September. A second location has been announced in Glasgow.

The resort is scheduled to open in 2028. You can keep up with their progress here, and, of course, we'll be watching out for any grand opening offers!

The aim of the project is to create a wellbeing bio-diverse garden in the shape of a rose 🌹, with petal-shaped terraces, pools and water features.

The planners are exploring the option of beehives on the roof, aiming to use the honey for spa treatments and in the restaurants. 🐝

Part of the plan is a family zone with waterslides, a wave pool, indoor and outdoor pools, steam rooms and relaxation areas. Activities will include water-based fitness classes, yoga, Pilates and other activities.

The Therme Group have already pulled it off in Bucharest. Now they're coming to Manchester with something even bigger, what's set to be the UK's largest wellbeing spa.

Saunas and steam rooms will be infused with different scents and materials.
