UK's largest wellbeing resort to open in Manchester at end of 2028

Construction for the UK's largest wellbeing resort, Manchester’s Therme, has begun.

The huge spa will consist of fifteen waterslides, swimming and thermal bathing areas, spa and fitness zones, sustainable gardens, immersive digital art, and restaurants and cafes.

The building will remain at 33 degrees Celsius year-round, and will feature warm water lagoons, botanical gardens, and palm trees.

Therme Manchester was initially said to be a £250 million project that would be completed in 2025. It is now £450 million and is scheduled for completion at the end of 2028.

Therme Manchester is planning to have a “significantly lower” carbon footprint than other spa experiences through the use of locally-sourced materials and innovative construction methods. 

CEO of Therme UK Professor David Russell said: “Therme Manchester will be a place for everyone - a unique destination where wellbeing, sustainability, art and culture come together. Our vision is to make a lasting positive impact: creating jobs, supporting communities, and helping people live healthier, happier lives for years to come.”
